pgarfunkle 99 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Has anyone managed to get tickets? I have gone to the website and cannot find the tickets anywhere so not sure if they have sold out already or if I'm just no good at hide and seek. Edit: Nevermind dumb moment, didn't notice the date on Esdevium's announcement. Edited July 7, 2016 by pgarfunkle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I should point out that rarely in my games of Armada have I needed to use my foot for anything. You could probably manage with just the one working leg...

Its more the driving, and potentially standing on my feet for 5 rounds straight... Its healing fast so there is hope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywalker managed fine with a cybernetic hand, maybe you should just get a cybernetic foot instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akhrin 576 Posted July 19, 2016 Esdevium have put up some details about side events at Nationals, including for Armada. Two game types, First Contact is a 180pt speed round, while Broadside is a full scale 400pt event. http://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/ffg/ffgside.php#armfc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginkapo 9,321 Posted August 7, 2016 What hotel are we all staying in? I really want to go, and its basically dependent on how close accommodation is from New Street and the ICC. Tried driving today, and whilst I can do it its not a real solution for long distance at the moment, gear changes are amusing. (somehow I drove when I fractured my foot, no idea how) So train to New Street, which is close enough to the ICC, but is there a hotel close by?

KovuTalli 178 Posted August 9, 2016 Travelling down with a friend and his Caravan so I'll be there, don't think I fancy the 3 whale 9 X-wing build that I took to Regional's however. Sad Wave 3 isn't legal for it as I have a pretty nasty build for that. MC80 Filler Carrier I guess? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad Wave 3 isn't legal for it as I have a pretty nasty build for that. MC80 Filler Carrier I guess? Surprised your not moaning that wave 5 isnt legal for play! I dont know how you guys contain the excitement so well. Please dont bring those whales again! That said bring a list you love! "MC80 filler carrier I guess" lacks a bit of excitement! Maybe Indy and the horrific B wing spam? I forsee a lot of Rieekan Squads, Rhymer balls, MC30s and Gladiators. So B's..... could be the perfect metabuild.

Ended up booking at the NiteNite Cityhotels, looks to be about a 5 minute walk, and <£120 for three nights (arriving Friday, leaving Monday) was pretty alright by me. That was a couple weeks back though, looks like the price is up from that now. But yeah, a couple of us are booked in there for Armada as well as a couple other guys playing X-Wing. Imagine we'll not be the only nerds in the building too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wife would have banned me going had I tried to book a hotel, and my camp bed is rather comfy. And the saving paid for wave 3/4 . 1 Akhrin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garro 11 Posted August 12, 2016 6 or so of us are booked into the penta hotel near the arena, I imagine we'll be in the hotel bar this evening if anyone fancies dropping in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
