Yeah, lack of any news, and the juggernauts known as Age of Sigmar 2.0 and 40k 8th are making it so nobody is even really looking at the Armada shelf or wants to play. No love from FFG in a long time, while GW is on fire with hits left and right, reviving old game lines (Adeptus Titanicus is selling out stock as fast as they have been able to make it, and some active rumours of BFG reboot in the works). Xwing 2.0 is seeing some love from hardcore tournament crowd but most of the casual/non-competitive players I know seem to have gone back to GW, excepting occasional pickup games. Most of the other games that seemed to be getting some real momentum have been faltering in the wake of the rejuvenated GW monstrosity; Dropzone/Dropfleet got acquired and lost distribution and have some quality setbacks, so basically have been almost impossible to get in the US, WarmaHordes kind of have their fanatic fanbase but seem to be diminishing. Legion I have never seen anybody playing, Runewars is effectively dead, don't even here about Infinity, Bolt Action seem to be doing fine. I have a few people interested in Armada, who I hope to get playing with soon, but it's difficult to get any real interest amongst new blood players, given there is no news, no new product, stock is sometimes difficult to track down, etc.

Very effective way to kill off what was once a pretty popular game line with a fairly fanatical player base... Anyways, doing a Clone Wars variant would be amazing, and no reason to hold back on teasing us with news, dropping developer hints, etc.

I’d be shocked if Bolt Action ever went away - there is a whole swath of people who have been playing historical miniatures games for decades and would never ever even remotely consider investing in a fictitious setting. No single range will ever compete pound for pound with GW/FFG etc at general audience level, but they have their audience and it’s not going anywhere.
