All proceeds from this event will go towards Troop 301 and players will be very much rewarded for their participation. Star Wars: Armada will be one of the featured games at this event. All these events are limited and will sell out so please don’t wait!

• Each player must build one fleet to use in a tournament. A fleet cannot exceed 400 points, though it may contain fewer than 400 points. A player may choose to field a Rebel or Imperial fleet. A player’s fleet cannot contain more than 134 points worth of squadrons. A player’s fleet cannot contain more than two flotillas. A player’s fleet must also include a single commander and one objective card from each non-campaign category. Players must use the same fleet for the duration of the tournament.

I saw a lot of activity for the X-Wing champs this weekend at NOVA, I really wish you'd have streamed a few Armada games.   This year had fierce competition and NO elimination games, which is where abbottabad Armada fails the hardest. 

 

In any case,  best of luck in this event and I hope we see more.

Thank you so much but Streaming is a difficult especially when you are trying to put a quality one out there and we only have the equipment for one stream at a time.

We're gonna have a lot of our locals making it out, so me, @geek19, @Jotto Otts1, and I believe a few others. Nate Coda can't make it, so while he will be missed, it does mean the rest of us have a chance now .

Will you stream the event?

[GoldSquadron 83]

We will be streaming X-Wing but we don't have the capacity for any additional streams.
