Will we ever get a squadron with a salvo defense token?
Rune Taq replied to Mad Cat's topic in Star Wars: Armada
I think counter kind of covers it. -
I may disappointed,. FFG wasn't perfect but It seems like this company will be desolved. They did an amazing job with Armada and I hope that AMG does as good a job if not better. I am slightly worried that AMG will make mistakes with Armada.
-
Not happy.
-
Use boardgamegeek. I don't think that is considered"social media". Is it?
-
So I didn't have any squadron issues. I had a charger with a red glob of paint on the starboard wing. Was able to scrape it off no problem. Also have a munificent with a crocked starboard front panel. Popped it off and re-glued it into it's correct alignment. The republic red paint jobs seem poorly done. White/tan color is visible underneath.
-
I would rather nav better and use spinal or enhanced. The card is expensive and has a refresh requirement. 1 or 2 points more. No restrictions and no refresh requirement.
-
LTT should just be stapled to it. With that many red dice.... Nothing is better.
-
OP, keep looking. A lot of ships just became available on Asmodees website in the last few months. They are not great at keeping up with stock. But FFG and Asmodee are not discontinuing and of there armada product. Covid has not helped with production of reprints either.
-
Seems like it is a gamble to get extra squad minis or not enough. I think starting a thread to trade extras will be good for the community but on the other hand FFG/asmodee should be responsible for correcting there own mistake and poor QC. I don't have my preorder yet because of distributor errors for the last 2 weeks. This entire release has been a sh#* show as far as products shipping from the distributor and squadron QC. I did buy a republic starter from a different local store and had no issues with that. We shall see how the rest of my stuff is when I get it.

Munificent and Hardcell individual ships
Rune Taq replied to Herr Style's topic in Star Wars: Armada
I asked the question during one of their live streams. They said: It is something we are looking to do in the future but our priority right now is to get the starters out. That is a rough quote but not exact. As stated before AMG may view it differently but hopefully they also plan to do individual ships at some point. -
I would not worry to much about armada coming out with a second edition. The game is very well balanced and the rules function very well. Xwing had flaws from the beginning and power creep was really bad. I stopped playing xwing shortly after the scum faction released. I couldn't afford both games and I could keep up with xwings release schedule. And armada is what I've always wanted. They changes to armada are pretty minor in comparison. Pass tokens are the biggest change really. The new format of upgrade cards with the blue and red boxes make things a little more dynamic (complicated...) But I think the game is still in a good place. We will see how things shake out when more people can get out and play some games.

If one person can set up a camera facing above the game and that person can field all the models. The other play just needs the cards in front of them. Then the player with everything on the table would have to do all the measuring for the remote player.
-
I agree with your point.... I think saying that you hope the guy who made that decision did get fired.... Not cool.
-
All hail Ryan Kingston. May his command tokens be plentiful and his dice be favorable. May he bury his enemies in vollies of turbolaser fire from multiple arcs.
-
I like Fisto... That's all... You may resume your "aggressive negotiations." Sorry, too soon?
-
Haha, yeah USPS is terrible.
-
It may be Covid related. Out of country shipments can take a little time in general but I have never heard of issues with FFGs shipping process so I wouldn't worry to much. May just take a little bit longer than usual. They alsoay have a lot of shipments going out with Christmas coming and with all the clone wars product shipping. Also Thursday was our Thanksgiving holiday. I would suggest giving it a few days and if you still don't see progress contact asmodee (they actually ship the items).
-
I think these changes overall are good for the game. Yes, some things didn't get changed that maybe should have. They brought some of the "staple" card down to the level of other cards in their respective card slots. They also seem to be preventing the stacking effect of some card options. Demolisher, Engine Techs, APT for example. When one combination is the only one that is worth taking and all other options are completely unused, there is a problem. I would rather have some things nerfed then have an all powerful combo that makes all other combos inferior.

So Lucas pulled a lot from WWII naval combat. In general, cruisers (MC80s, MC75s) were slower ships. Destroyers (ISDs) were faster. Difference is that destroyers were smaller than cruisers but who's comparing sizes?...
-
There are multiple s of some cards
-
For a new clone wars player, absolutely get it. We don't know what existing upgrades will be included in any of the new clone wars expansions. To have every upgrade available to you get the upgrade card pack. I will get it eventually because I want all the printed updated cards. Not looking forward to the increased size but oh well.

Help me decide whether to buy an SSD...
Rune Taq replied to DarthRulesLawyer's topic in Star Wars: Armada
As far as gunery teams. Look at it this way. If your opponent has 3 ships in your front arc for more than 1 turn brobably at long range. They didn't even try. You are lucky to get 2 maybe MAYBE 3 rounds with 2 targets in your front arc. The SSD relies on nav commands and gimicks to turn. I have a list that allows me to turn a lot with Take Evasive Action and I still don't usually get 2-3 shoots out the front arc more than once or twice. I don't think that the SSD needs a nerf on Gunnery teams. It's not supper hard to get out of the front arc. -
Move to New England. People up here early run 134 squads. Usually they run a Small squad screen in case they vs a list with squads. Squads are definitely big i. The meta but in my area people just don't like running a lot of squads typically.
-
I think the Onager is slightly overpowered. But cataclysm is not it's breaking point. It's like all archetypes if it goes against a slow list with low activations it will do well. There are counter lists. I think the hawks super weapon is underpowered though.
-
Except that the starter doesn't have delta 7s in it.... Only V19 torrents... I don't think we will get squadron cards in the starter for squadrons that are not in the starter.
