Awesome! Yea, we are very amateur and screw things up a lot. Part of our charm perhaps? Thanks for the listen! We'll try to get our facts straight a bit better in the future. Good, there's no room on Star destroyer for you anyways! Just kidding I listened as well dudes. I dug it! Please let us know how your games went! Thanks guys! Our newest episode is up and we discuss the tournament. You can find it here: http://armchairgeeks.com/podcast/armchairgeeks-32-tournament-results/ Overall the competition was a bit tougher than anticipated. Lots of unique fleets though which is good. Glad to see the game hasn't mired down into a single type of meta that wins overall. Sorry if I sound a slight bit out of it this episode. Had just gotten back from class and brain was going a bit slower than usual. One thing I forgot to mention in the show is just how great the community for this game is. My brother and one of our other friends were able to show up with practically nothing for the game and people were more than happy to lend ships, parts, etc so that everyone could enjoy the day. The tournament was supposed to be for 12 people and we ended up with 14 playing anyway. It was great! The awesome host of the event, Meeple Madness, was just spectacular as well. Love that store.

Glad you enjoyed it! We'll definitely be talking about the tournament results in next weeks episode. I'll make sure to post it here. Personally, I don't know how to use squadrons well myself yet and i've gone against players that used bombers very very effectively. I have a healthy respect for the damage they can do. Death of a thousand cuts. Yes! We are on iTunes. Here's the link: iTunes We don't always talk about Armada, though it does come up quite frequently since it's a game we love very much. We also discuss other games both digital and physical, sci-fi, movies, science, geek news, futurism, etc. Next weeks episode will have Armada content also for sure since we'll be covering the tournament results. Here are all of our previous episodes tagged as containing Armada content if you are interested: Armada ahoy! Thanks! I love being able to go a bit in-depth on a single topic for episodes like this.

Hi everyone! My cohost, my brother, and I will be playing in an Armada tournament this weekend. We wanted to use this episode to talk about our plans and fleets for the tournament. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. http://armchairgeeks.com/podcast/armchairgeeks-31-advanced-gunnery/ Thanks!

I've got a tournament coming up this Saturday. Here's the fleet I was able to test out a couple times last night. Won both games but I feel like it could improve. http://armada.fabpsb.net/permalink.php?sq=r1t1r1t1f6r3f8r7c4t1f11r0a1a6a9 Fleet Assault Frigate Mark II A Mon Mothma Paragon Enhanced Armament Nebulon-B Escort Frigate Salvation CR90a Corvette Jaina's Light Enhanced Armament CR90a Corvette Enhanced Armament Objectives: Advanced Gunnery Fire Lanes Intel Sweep The Enchanced Armament more then earned it's points in my opinion on the corvettes and assualt frigate. I'm concerned how it will fair against multi Gladiator lists and/or Bomber heavy lists though. Any critiques or suggestions to make it even better? Thanks!

Where did you see this line Replicant?

Much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not necessarily promoting the fact that it's an "effect". Just trying to speak in the language you were using. I barely understood the lawyering as it was. Like I said, the rules make it pretty clear that an engaged squadron cannot move. Seems odd to me to even think something like a squadron command or token could break that.

Would you happen to have a link or file for that papercraft station. I must have it! I love the idea of putting those obstacle on bases set on top of the token so they can be removed when a ship gets too near. Brilliant!

Rules Reference: Page 2, Attack heading, #3, bullet point 2: Spend Accuracy Icons: The attacker can spend one or more of its (accuracy) icons to choose the same number of the defender's defense tokens. The chosen tokens cannot be spent during this attack. Rules Reference: Page7, Modifying Dice heading, bullet point 4: Spend: When a die or die icon is spent, remove that die from the attack pool --- When the accuracy die is used, it is not longer in the attack pool. Since it's no longer in the attack pool, it cannot be removed with an Evade Token at Long Range.

wjgo, the rules lawyering is strong with you. It's pretty clear that that then intention and spirit of the rules is that an engaged squadron cannot move. I'm not sure what you are getting at with saying one thing is an effect and the other is not. Seems like a stretch to me. Engagement says "While a squadron is at distance 1 of one or more enemy squadrons, it is engaged with all of those enemy squadrons". I don't see any room for arguing there. To speak to it in regards to the "While" effect definition you would have to define "instance of the event" to argue in any way that a squadron could move when it's engaged. To me, the instance of the event is the squadron being physically 1 distance or less away from an enemy squadron. That instance of that event does not end until that is no longer true. A "When" event occurs when a squadron token is played. There is nothing I can see that says you can ignore the ongoing instance of the "While" event (squadron being engaged) to override it with your new "When" event (Playing a squadron token). Therefore while playing the Token the squadron is still engaged and cannot be moved.

Oh nice! I have been to Heroes Landing. Small place but if they get some regular X-Wing action going on I'll definitely join in.

Hmm, avalon is a bit far for me. I was hoping there were other people farther west of the city like myself. (Preferrably west of Disney). They aren't a lot of gaming stores around here either =(

I'm between Davenport and Clermont on Hwy 27 myself. Anything going on over in this area? Tournaments,etc?
