botfng 0 Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks for the above all really helpful, are the store tournaments / games pretty easy going to newbies? Just thinking It might be the first actual game vs someone other than myself I have heard Vassal mentioned but not really looked into it too much yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the things I love about the Armada community is its willingness to help newer players. Best way to learn is rock up to a tournament and dive in. Just let your opponent know you don't have much experience and imo they are always helpful in letting you take your time, correcting any rules you get wrong and giving advice.

I experienced that when I was new player and I always give some tips to those who just started and want to learn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thinking It might be the first actual game vs someone other than myself I have heard Vassal mentioned but not really looked into it too much yet I find Armadas can actually be pretty forgiving in some strange way. And as long as it's not a regional or higher level tournament I'm sure you'll find players willing to be patient and forgiving. I know I am! (For the selfish reason of hoping they are the same to me :P) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a few people who play Armada at the bunker club https://www.chelmsfordbunker.co.uk/ Most (all!) of the chatting / aranging games is done on Facebook or WhatsApp and not the forum..... edit - As a club very friendly and helpful...just be on your guard otherwise you end up buying a dozen games and running out of time to play them ?

The main event was on the Friday (5 rounds - fun day), then the top cut and some side events on Saturday (both a Take the Station tournament and 4-person mini-tournaments iirc) and some side stuff on Sunday. 1 1 noggin and Zamalekite reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Touston 120 Posted July 30, 2018 I don't seem able to gleam this information: the nationals are on the 24th, but the time given for the nationals event is the whole weekend (24th 7am - 26th 8pm). It would be nice to get the actual time so I can start planning the journey (tickets brought, just need to figure out the details.) If it really is a 7am start, it's a huge hassle and I'd like to know. So does anyone know when the nationals start (time wise) and maybe end? or who should I contact to learn this infomation? 1 Mad Cat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
