Wife's up there that weekend for work and I could have tagged along, but its a lot harder sell to fly up for a weekend just for Armada :)

Darn!

Well, if you tag along on the 10th and 11th, we can probably get you some games in up here! We have a pretty strong community. (I'm working the 10th / 11th, but there's probably some players here who would be eager to play an out-of-towner.)

Is gamerhaven the place these days? How is the community in town, at like the comic book shop and Uncles etc.

I went to merlins and they didn't seem to have any events listed

The community is strong. Most tournaments muster at least 8 players. For Regionals in Portland last year, there were 6 of us there, not counting @Brikhause .

There's at least 20 local players that I see at various events. Gamers' Haven has the most space, but Uncle's still rules the roost for FFG games, especially Armada and X-Wing. Every Tuesday is SW Minis night at the Downtown Uncle's, and there are almost always 1 or 2 games of Armada hogging the space from the X-Wing players. :) It helps that we just got new tables at Uncle's that are perfect for Armada.

I work at Uncle's, and I can tell you that we are still seeing new players getting into the game. It's pretty exciting.

Sweet, I will come by one of these days. Uncles is where I use to hang out but I wasn't sure how armada was doing anymore haha

We usually have 1-2 events a month in regards to armada. It’s a solid growing community with some up and coming players.

Is there a link for the location of the live stream?

I’ll post it here the day of. I’ll likely be using my YouTube channel or twitch.

Hey if you want to meet up for a game I am down. Let me know your availability and we can coordinate a meetup!

This is kinda off topic but if anyone in the Spokane area has extra Flottilla's laying around I would be willing to buy a couple

Yes! The SSD pre-order will be a day 1 deal. And pretty much most of the rest of the prizes that don’t include determining 1st and 2nd place.

The winner of Armada Bingo will win a pre-order of a SSD. You don't have to be there for both days to participate but some of the challenges listed may improve your chances if you stay that second day.
