yeah but we wern't shown that, we were shown A-wing. Heck we didn't see the B-wings shoot anything. Hey Lucas, Edit the film so the B-wings destroy the Shield Generators and then let the A-wing crash into the bridge !

No edits, or we might get Ackbar replaced with Supreme Admiral Gender Studies...

Marinealver> in fact, if we transpose Armada-B-Wing stats to episode 6, they were launched at the start of the battle, weren't fast enough to get into the fight in time, and then weren't able to escape the death Star explosion either ?

such a waste of critical supplies! ?

Independence was canonically present. I guess with all the other titles taken someone decided it was worth 8 points...

I wanted to hear your guy's opinions on the idea, whether you want an additional Faction or not. To be clear I don't mean the Republic and CIS, or the Resistance and First Order being added to Armada. I think that if those Factions are used they'll be a separate "version" of Armada, where the upgrade cards and balancing are scaled differently, and interplay between the Empire and First Order for example doesn't work. I could be wrong about that, but I don't see FFG attempting to balance a Munificent against an ISD and against a Resurgent, with upgrade cards available across all Factions.

What I am asking is do you want a 3rd Faction going up against the Empire and Rebellion? Do you think that it would meaningfully add to Armada?

I think a 3rd Faction would create potentially more variety in tournaments as a positive effect, and the obvious negative being FFG's already slow release schedule being a bigger liability with 3 Factions to plan for.

 I will also admit that I don't know how many independent groups exist in Canon, I come at questions like these with a Legends mindset.

There really isn't a 3rd faction in the Civil War.

It's Rebs vs Imps.

I guess there is scum too, but not at that scale (unless you count some computer games).

Well there isn't really a 3rd faction in any war. When 1 belligerent declares war on another nation all the other nations that have close ties declare one or two things. WW1 is a perfect example. There were many nations and ideologies in the war but all were either Entrant or Central.

1. Their alliance which puts them on one side of the war
2. Their Neutrality which doesn't necessarily exclude all sympathy.

All 3rd parties are either renegades or brigands taking advantage of the chaos of war or are fighting a totally different war all together. IF a 3rd faction enters a war both parties scramble to entice one to attack the other which ends up it it either joining side A or side B. It is like political parties, all party systems devolve until there is one super-party which holds majority claim, or 2 parties that are locked in struggle.

Ummm... the current civil war in Syria?

The English civil war? (Royalists, Roundheads, Covenanters?)

Many wars have multiple belligerents.
