Wish I could make it but not in the cards this month.

Totally understandable, @Karneck . It's quite a haul to Portland for a day of Armada! I plan on holding monthly tournaments at Red Castle so hopefully we'll see you at our event in March.

As long as it's not during Armada worlds! (Last weekend of March)

It will likely be on Saturday, March 23rd.

A quick reminder that Red Castle's February Armada tournament is this Saturday (2/23). Check-in starts at 11 AM. I've also added some new goodies to our "Prize Wall" which now includes an acrylic turn dial. Every participant gets to make 1 pull from the wall, though that can include a batch of promos depending on what you take!

Ooo, just saw this. I might try to make it down from Seattle.

Thanks to all the Admirals that came out to Red Castle yesterday for our tournament! We had 10 players battle it out with a diverse array of commanders, from Konstantine to Leia, Ackbar, Vader and Jerjerrod. We also played some objectives that don't see as much use as people were willing to experiment with their lists and choices, including a pair of Opening Salvos and Salvage Run.

My favorite part was seeing some new faces, including a new player who came in second place (tied on points with first at 15 and 20~ behind on MoV). We'll be doing this again next month on Saturday, March 23rd. Hope to see you there!

By the way, I need to amend my favorite moment from yesterday’s tournament.

It has to be when Greg C picked the acrylic turn dial as his 1st place prize… and then gave it to Tory Z who had been wanting to win one for a very long time. It’s these kinds of moments that make me realize how unique the Armada community is among competitive gamers, and that we’ve got something special in our local player base.
