Force Awakens Impact on Armada

Recommended Posts

My speculation on Star Wars Force Awakens Impact on Armada

Quick summary, since there was only a handful of ships and fighters in the movie, Force Awakens ships will not in wave 3, but by Episode 8 a full scale war will be shown and they will be in wave 4.

More like wave 5 or 6.

At the earliest, yeah. They probably want Wave 5 out by the end of 2016 if they can... So we're still looking at 2 years until E VIII.

 

 

At the rate the expansions for this game have been coming out I'd be amazed if we get wave 4 by the end of 2016.

Well, VIII is due 26th of May, 2017, so....

I think a good way to get TFA into Armada would be for them to be new cards for existing models - but no new models (at least initially) - instead - the cards go with the existing Core models.

 

That way, it doesn't invalidate the Core set.

 

A all-card & paper TFA set could include:

 

TIE/FO base templates & cards

T-70 X-wing base templates & cards

Nebulon-K base template & cards

"CR-120 Corvette" (made up for TFA) base template & cards

"Victory III Star Destroyer" (made up for TFA - inspired by the modified VicStar's seen in post-New Jedi Order novels) base template & cards

Updated ruiebook /rules reference etc

 

Result - a fairly cheap set that requires the existing Core set.

 

 

Does that seem like it might work?

Episode VIII 's been pushed to a December release in 2017, unfortunately.

Yea after the success of Force Awakens, which as of now has made just almost 2 billion dollars, it seems they've pushed back and are just going to release the Star Wars films in a December slot.
