Norell got a reaction from NairoD in Press F to Pay Respects
F. Just F.
This is ridiculous. More than a year of no new content or articles couldn't kill this game. Now Asmodee does everything in its power to manage to do so...
Edit: Of course they are going to fail. Again.

Norell reacted to xanderf in Reminder: BoardGameGeek has active forums for rules/strategy/variants/etc for Armada
Think more "Wikipedia" + improved forums + social network?

Norell reacted to JediPartisan in Links To Share Before The End
There is already a thread started for discord links, I just thought if anyone has any links they want to share, people can copy and paste them into a text doc from here or add them to their favourites before the Forums self destruct.
Links could be for Discord, a new server forum, podcast, or anything really. Post away if you want to share.

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.

Its a reference to this ludicrously tone-deaf QTE from COD Advanced Warfare:

Norell reacted to NairoD in Independent Star Wars Armada/X-wing/Legion Forum
Hi all
Many of us dont have, dont use or cannot (as I) have social media accounts.
What do you think about independent forum for all of us? It will save us our precious community and will make us independent from actions such as this one we are faceing now. We could evean grab our friends from X wing and Legion communies (part of us play those games) and make our Star Wars FFG games orphants our new home.
I dont have proper knowledge (and time - new member of my family is on the way) to place it somwhere but will be more than happy to donate server space.
For man who will put server I offer my gratitude and all my promo cards I own from 2015-2019 tournaments
Lets start talk about this as we had only 1 month to grab our community to travel at our new home

Norell reacted to AllWingsStandyingBy in Got to feel bad for the FFG team
Time will tell. Even if they keep the games, there's no guarantee they won't break 'em down and rebuild them out as radically new editions.
Given that Asmodee actively did not want to keep the veteran designers/developers, I suspect to see some pretty big changes. But "business as usual" seems quite unlikely.

Norell reacted to Green Knight in Got to feel bad for the FFG team
I also feel bad for us, the players.
We have absolutely no idea what AMG intends to do going forward.
Do they even intend to keep Armada, X-wing and Legion?

Looks like the FFG team are being completely sold down the river. Such a shame when business does not honour the compact between employees, owners and customers. Capitalism with that compact is chaos.

I'm not. This drawback is over the top, literally no reason to take with anything larger than medium.

Norell reacted to xanderf in What's the policy on matching ships to bases? (IE., how many Jedi squadrons CAN you run with one 'Republic Squadrons' pack?)
I suppose this question was always valid, although it seems starting this particular new wave it becomes more acute, mostly because...
1) Limited availability of the expansion packs
2) The Jedi never flew entire squadrons of Delta-7s, the way the miniature stand looks
3) This is a fairly uncommon situation of a single expansion pack containing far more base plates than you need for the matching miniatures in the same expansion (4x Delta-7 base plates)
Particularly #2 makes me think - I mean, during the Clone Wars, it was basically always one Jedi (Padawan, Knight, or Master) leading a group of Clones operating as a unit. And if you arrange the minis on the stand that way...well, you've suddenly got PLENTY minis to use all the Jedi base plates the expansion ships with.
IE., with a single 'Republic Squadrons' expansion, you can do this...
But...my Lord, is that...legal?

Norell got a reaction from kenngp in Idea for new OT Wave (Squads, MC40 and Dreadnought)
Prequels? Yes please!
Sequels? What sequels? There are only 6 Star Wars movies, one spinoff (R1) and a bunch of weak, mass-produced parodies that aren't Star Wars.

Norell reacted to ForceSensitive in From an Arm1.5/CW playtester, a Thank you letter
It's true, all of it. And I can finally say it now that the product is released and in some hands. My name is Dante, and I was one of the many, many, many playtesters on 1.5/CW. And as I sat here over my celebratory champagne, (and carefully reviewed NDA, lol) I wanted to say thanks.
I won't lie. It was a lot of work. Of all the projects I've ever worked on as a consultant or tester it was one of the hardest. It was also a huge advancement stage as you now know for the game, with two whole new factions and the 1.5. So there was a huge sense of responsibility I think we all felt to get it as right as we could. Stakes like that are heavy. I think in some ways it was even harder than the games I saw built from the ground up to wrestle with. And it was the first time I had a huge investment in the game from before I was working on it, and I find it makes it hard to work on it when your that deep into it. But it all worked out I think. I'm satisfied with the outcome.
It was definitely a small highlight of my life to have the opportunity to work with the test group and get to see behind the scenes a bit in a small corner of our favorite galaxy far, far away. Having an official credit just a few lines below Lucasfilm Ltd. is kinda surreal. Definitely a lot of cool experiences in general really. And getting to watch all your reactions as the reveals came out has been like watching the kids open presents.
I just wanted to say thank you back. A big special thanks to this forum that keeps the game alive, and is the real super computer test group. You'da real MVPs! And keep giving your feedback and talking about the game, you never know who might read it! And an extra special thanks to FFG for inviting together such a broad group and organizing the absolute zoo of activity that we could be at times. A huge thank you to M. Gernes and B. Fluagur-Leavitt, for the time and effort you put into the project, and keeping up with the mountain of info we bombarded you with, and keeping a steady hand on the wheel. Great job gents! A special thank you to Z. Tewalthomas for your guidance and help over many emails. And one extra super duper big thank you, from the Heart, to my local guys for sticking together through the crazy that was going on in our own lives and getting the job done. We could get pretty heated at times and life outside the game definitely didn't help back then. But it was for the cause, and we pulled through. Mission Accomplished 614th Sector Fleet! I know we can be proud of what we did.
The story isn't over for Armada, and I'm grateful for my bit role I got to play. If you ever find an opportunity to work on one of your favorite games, do it. You'll appreciate the game all the more. My sincerest wish to you is that you enjoy this labor of love that that took so, so, so many hands to build, and is now humbly before you. Have fun! And go blast some plastic spaceships into honorable space dust!😁
And of course, may the Force be with you. Always. 🍻

Yep. It's the same reason they only put one General Cracken in as well...
