Love it!
That was allot of fun. Great job Ken. Really enjoying the extra content, look forward to your next narrative battle.
Thanks, William. I enjoy these battles - even the lop-sided ones. I suspect we'll see a variation on this Grievous list in the future...
- Ken
A great video and I love seeing the robot in action!
Glad you are enjoying the robot episodes, Toine. Stay tuned as we unleash another 8 fleet tournament using only the robot!
Again, great video!
Thanks, Dennis!
Oh my....all of those unopened boxes!
Right?
Haha... some are opened on the other side. I put them there to see if anyone noticed. 😀
- Ken
I was thinking the same thing!
@@IONRadio have you bought everything for Armada yourselves or have you receaved press copies from amg/ffg? Looking at your shelves and videos, with all the equipement you must have for the great videos you must have payed alot!
Thank you, and we’re glad that you are enjoying our videos. All of the shops and squadrons are our own personal collections. A lot has been purchased from one of our 3 friendly local game stores. Some items (like the game mats or Admiral Tater’s rulers) are internet purchases.

Great video Ken! Two very interesting forces. I wonder if it would have been different with the AI being Human. Needless to say, very exciting, the Squadron ball is pretty gnarly. Had about 10 Squadrons got to put the hurt on a Venator from Rnd 2 on. Not sure because the vultures are like Ties, easy to take out. I do like the Venator list. 3 Activations and decent squadron ball.
I played this again twice off camera. The outcome was similar, but in one case, the Providence survived getting a narrow victory for the CIS. That had more human involvement though. I think the Grievous fleet needs to be flown a little differently than normal to be effective.
Thank you for another great vid Ken! And that station is absolutely beautiful. May I ask how you got it?
Thanks, Kyle. The station and obstacles used in this video are the old Space Rocks set. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on these second hand.
- Ken
@@IONRadio Thank you Ken!
Robot vs Robot, should be Separatist vs Separatist :D
Haha! Love it!
- Ken
Why are you Salvoing on ignition attacks?
I actually salvo'd the second shot here - my cat jumped into frame so I didn't show the image, hence the confusion. I also think I neglected to discuss the 2nd shot.
- Ken
How do you have 16 squadrons when the total squadron value is only 6? And how did you deploy them when you could only do 2 from munificent and 4 from providence?
Squadrons are not limited by the values on the ships. This is simply the limit of how many can be activated by that ship during its activation. You can have up to 134 points of squadrons in a 400 point fleet.
All squadrons were deployed within Range 2 of a ship, so this is legal placement.
@@IONRadio 🤯
@@koalastrats All part of what we do here on the channel. Glad we could help increase the size of your squadron complement. :)
Interesting video, but you can't salvo an ignition attack.
You are correct. I actually salvo'd the second shot here - my cat jumped into frame so I didn't show the image, hence the confusion. I also think I neglected to discuss the 2nd shot.
- Ken
Found a rule boo boo, 2nd round first venator activated 4 squadrons when it should have been 3 due to sphat.
Eek, you’re right. Good catch.
- Ken
Not sure how much of a difference it made though
@@michaelsweatt88 over the course the game, not much. I suspect only 1 or 2 Vultures would have survived. Placement of the GAR squadrons was more important than the actually killing of Vultures.
Having said that, if the Vultures destroyed the Ven II with Luminara, the outcome would be the same.
