Good speed, friends!

F... For almost five years now - ever since Armada was announced - this forum has been my most-visited website and has always been the first bookmark I set when installing a new phone. Here's me hoping for a new forum for us to assemble.

Thank YOU and for YOUR labor of love and thank you to all the others whose involvement contributed to the latest wave and 1.5. It appears to have been a huge undertaking, especially in these trying times.

Wow!

I did brace for impact... ... but this was an • Avenger kind of post bomb.

Well, I was confused by the short version of the game round rules on the last page of the RRG. I re-read the rules on page 15... "Some upgrade cards are marked with a non-recur (q)icon next to their name. These cards do not ready during the Status Phase unless the owning player pays the cost to ready that card. If both players can pay to ready cards during the Status Phase, they take turns readying one card at a time, starting with the first player, until one player has no more cards to ready." (p. 15) Obviously the players just stop taking turns to ready their upgrade cards as soon as one of them has no more. And then the other player just continues.

"4. STATUS PHASE 2. Ready Upgrade Cards: Rotate each exhausted card with a recur icon (or no icon) to its readied position. If players have exhausted cards with a non-recur icon they take turns, starting with the first player, choosing one card to ready and paying that card’s cost, until one player has no more cards to ready." (p. 54) How does this work? If both players have 1 upgrade card with a non-recur icon, can only the first player ready his card? According to the last page of the Rules Reference Guide, the back-and-forth stops as soon as one player (the one with initiative) has readied his or her card and has no more card to ready? What if the first player has 1 upgrade card with a non-recur icon and the other player has a multitude of such cards. Can the second player ready none of them?

Because you may want several non-unique escorts in the mix as well, just to get a good effect out of the jedi and to keep them protected. I guess, you may want to run eight Aethersprites only in a 600+ points list. How many core sets do you want to get?

... btw, I wrote the most appreciative of the four-letter censored words...

****.
