ugh. How long do I have to have rabies for?

Also stupid me really wants to get two of the 3-packs... And we're looking at a huge bill.

Also stupid me tallied up how much I've spent on this game and Armada, its probably like $2500. Yikes. I didn't even know I made that much spending money. Congrats FFG you probably found a way to get another $1000 out of me.

It is hard not to love the republic. Is the best designed faction outside the original trilogy IMHO.

Just take a step back and wait for some more information.

And your math is way off anyway.

2 ea. 3 pack, 1 Sith Inflitrator, 2 ARC-170s, 2 Delta-7, 2 Vulture Droid is

5 x $39.95

4 x $19.95

2 x $29.95

= $339.45

What else do you need? Maybe a couple more ARCs and a couple more Vultures. $339.45 + $99.80 for a mere $439.25. Even adding aprox. $33 for sales tax that's nowhere near $1000.

4 ARCs, 4 Deltas, 4 V-19s, so only another $30 for dial upgrades there.

8 Vultures, 2 Belbulabs, 1 Maul so only another $30 for dial upgrades there.

What were you getting that you're spending another grand?

I questioned this at first, too, but I think he’s accounting for future releases.

And what about the other 50 Vulture droids?

You can only field eight ships. If you're fielding for two players you just have Clankers versus Clones.

Sure that's reasonable but what would be talking about there? A new Y-wing at 19.95 and a Hyena bomber at 29.95. Another hundred bucks for two of each. Some kind of large base for the Republic for another 39.95?

He's got way more spending loot than he thought. If he sits down and does some budgeting and looking at his spending he'll probably find he's got way more means or easy ways to way more means.

Money is only important to the extent you don't have it. First thing you have to know is the actual extent of your not having it. Do the math, Guys. You've probably got access to financial software or spreadsheets of some sort at work let alone what you can find for free.

Eight on the field, sure. But what about the swarm for display, and for replacement when your opponent crushes one in frustration?

Items for display are a separate budget line from squad-building (they should be counted under some sort of housing costs/decorating costs.) Your opponent is liable for all intentional damage to your ships.

CIS Sheathipede. Hyena. Geonosian Fighter. Solar Sail thingy.

Naboo Starfighter. Republic Y-Wing. V-Wing. Actis-2. LA-AT.

Also: hyperbole.

Yeah, but that can take years to go through the courts, and are Separatists even able to level legal charges against Republic representatives? Wouldn't want a Republic judge, at least.

No, better to just keep a few dozen in reserve yourself.

Don't forget to budget for Doritos, Cheetos and pop!

Why restrict yourself to only playing Standard mode 200/3 games?

🤦‍♂️ 🚩 If judges are involved you've done it wrong.

I recommend deep holes in remote locations. ⛏️ ⛰️

Though I guess I have to concede the point about having reserves. 🤔

🤷‍♂️ 😎

Fair enough. You're on your own there. I don't much care for crazy huge games. 🍻

Yeah, I already bought the new box for everything to go in. Stoked. Wonder if they'll put beta points costs in the update this month?

And then the chant to summon LAAT/i gunships begins. Man I would have loved to be on the design team for those rules.

What are we thinking here, like a mobile Auzituck arc? 😅

I guess it would be a dual turret upgrade that is fixed to left and right arcs, LAAT/i only configuration card, takes the stats of your equipped turret upgrade, Grants a second gunner slot. Or something like that.

Dual gunner slot would be an interesting characteristic for it, allowing a"Clone Gunnery Team" upgrade.

I remember the first time I ordered a Coke and the guy at the counter said, "What kind?"

"Just Coke."

"What KIND."

"Coke."

"What kind of coke."

"Oh. Coca-cola."

"Do you want to super-size that?"

Its obviously not clear to extrapolate, but over the next few waves there's gonna be more PT and other OT ST stuff I'll want. And that will end up over a few years coming out to probably around another $1000.

Even if I got 2 of the 3-packs, that's not nearly close to the 8 limit or 200pt limits for most of these small ships. So therefore its likely to get more of these beyond the initial. (Though I think I won't. I really don't care for getting 200/max of every ship anymore. I actually don't just buy everything)

This poster already said some of the new ships that may come.

CIS Sheathipede.(sure) Hyena(?). Geonosian Fighter(yes). Solar Sail thingy(meh). Tri Fighter(yes). Buzz Droids(meh). Epic Ship?

Naboo Starfighter(yes). Republic Y-Wing(yes). V-Wing(yes). Eta Actis-2(yes yes yes). LA-AT Gunship(yes). Acclamator Epic? Modified Corvettes or Hammerheads?
