Dameon13 63 Posted May 20, 2017 Did you post this to the Upstate SC X-wing/Armada FB group? I'm still new to the game and was just at Borderlands today to pick up a few more ships and the clerk asked where "all you (Armada players) went" as he hasn't seen anyone playing Armada in a while. I replied, "what other Armada players?". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I replied, "what other Armada players?". No I didn't. I'm one of the few people left who are Facebook free. I do think Adam was going to. Don't know if he did. As far as where we've been lately Atlanta at Giga Bites this past weekend there were 7 of us there who've all played at Borderlands. Most of those 7 were in Columbia at Firefly games a few weeks ago. There's lots of upcoming events locally too. There's a store championship on June 17th in Columbia at Ready to Play. My tournament at Borderlands on July 1st (not a store championship just a tourney). A store championship at Geek Out Games in Clemson on July 23rd. Me and another guy play 2 or 3 times a week at my house and I'm more than willing to meet up with you at Borderlands any Saturday or Sunday for a game or two just send me a PM.

Dameon13 63 Posted May 22, 2017 I appreciate it, but my job has me working most Nights & Weekends, so attending "regular game night" is a problem. I hope I'll be able to get over to Geek Out more often this summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megatronrex 2,867 Posted May 22, 2017 Hate to hear that you can't do nights or weekends. Everyone having different schedules and things going on is what killed our CC. Maybe I'll see you at Geek Out if you make it to their championship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiledPallaeon 2,873 Posted May 31, 2017 @jamie nasmyth can you add this to the pinned post in our group? I probably won't be able to go but I'll still bear it in mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angry_Ewok 200 Posted June 1, 2017 I have posted the event to the SC Midlands Star Wars Armada FB Group a while back and I think we will have 3-4 people form columbia coming to play. Anyone local please consider coming out to he Store Champ at Ready to Play games in Cayce SC on June 17th. Doors open at 10 AM, first round starts at 10:30 2 Megatronrex and GiledPallaeon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be at Ready to Play for your championship but I don't think Jr will make it. A new expansion for Final Fantasy drops that week and he's planning on spending that weekend attached to his PC. I sent a message about it to the rest of our former conflict group but don't know if they'll make it. It also got added to @shmitty's list of store championships.

Megatronrex 2,867 Posted June 9, 2017 It's time once again for the weekly bump. Thought I'd go ahead and announce prizes too 3rd: Maneuver Tool 2nd: Rogues and Villains Squadron Pack 1st: Quasar Fire Carrier (Provided they end up releasing in time for the tournament, if not then it will be another small box expansion ship) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angry_Ewok 200 Posted June 9, 2017 Will be there. Roy can easily be convinced as well. 1 Megatronrex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EYEL1NER 137 Posted June 16, 2017 Which OP kit are you guys using for prize support? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EYEL1NER 137 Posted June 16, 2017 So TRC alt-arts, Interceptor alt-arts, and engineering tokens? I can't say I need any more of those (I guess more Engineering tokens would be nice but not necessary since I already have five), but it would kind of be nice to have some stuff that I had won as opposed to bought. I might try to make it up there but there is also an X-Wing OP event that day, and a small-scale convention here in Sumter that day, so I can't commit firmly (especially with Greenville being as far of a drive as it is, though I do really wanna make it up there to play something at some point). Summer kits should be getting delivered to stores at some point soon, so I'll definitely try to make it up there for one of those. I don't think anywhere close in SC does Armada kits regularly.

If you're at Ready To Play tomorrow I'll try to hound you into coming up to Greenville but if you don't make it I'll definitely understand it is a helluva drive from Sumpter.

Yeah, I'll definitely be seeing you tomorrow then. I could have sworn that Greenville was like a three hour drive from here but GMaps is saying it's 2h20m to get to Borderlands atm. Maybe it's closer to three hours to get to Spartanburg? Not as far as I thought it was, but then again, Charleston and Charlotte are almost half an hour closer and I never make it to games there either. 1 Megatronrex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megatronrex 2,867 Posted June 16, 2017 I thought it was closer to three hours myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megatronrex 2,867 Posted June 19, 2017 Had a great time at @Space_Cowboy17s tournament in Columbia. Hope most of you guys can make it up to Greenville next week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megatronrex 2,867 Posted June 26, 2017 I thought it might be time to update the list of prizes since we finally know that the Quasar won't be out until July 6th. 3rd: Maneuver Tool 2nd: Rogues and Villains Squadron Pack 1st: Gladiator The newest version of the FAQ will be in effect for the tournament. Jamming Fields will be a "must" effect since no changes to the card were highlighted in red and I personally believe it was an unintentional oversight on FFGs part.
