Quirk and Bjorn play a special scenario where the rebel pirates much escape the Empire fleet.
"I can't spoke today" 😂😂
Great report. What lost the Imperials the game was that you left the Interdictor alone and put the Victory waaaaayyyyy out of range. If you had kept him a little closer they probably would've won.
A few things I saw wrong. You can't spend the same defense token type for a single attack. So that double evade couldn't have happened. Critical effects resolve at the beginning of the deal damage step. So you would have taken a critical before that first damage. Also, shooting at squadrons through an obstacle or ship also makes you lose one die. Other than that, you guys did fine. Was a good game. I do have a question though. The Empire player at one point took a token and replaced it with his other one. Does that ship only have a command value of 1? I haven't used or seen that ship used in the local area yet.
You can spend a token and not use it's bonuses to get yourself another token, can't you?
17:30 the shots on the interceptor are obstructed by the corvette, unless small ships don't obstruct, or squadron battery can't be obstructed.
I have collected WH40k figures but its too Darn EXPENSIVE (not to mention that u have to paint them and for me its tedious) Im thinking of buying this since its looks more fun, less expensive, its painted and its... well STAR WARS ;) .
+Lord Zephyros Thats why I got into it. It won't scratch your 40k itch sadly... but it is VERY fun and people are coming out with some really neat stuff. That Immobilizer was from Mels Minitures. The vault game on MWG has a Liberty Mon Cal in it.

I prefer Xwing , seems simpler and faster paced
+Lord Zephyros I'd recommend X-Wing over this, has a way lower startup cost and you need to buy less to get yourself going. Plus the rules are slightly more engaging (even though Armada is pretty fun to watch).
+darklightthecatalyst I wouldn't say that X-Wing is neccessarily cheaper tho. Yes the starter set itself only costs half of the Armada one, but there's already so much stuff released for X-Wing (they are at what, wave 10 now?) that the starter alone won't do you much good. But, all that being said, it mostly depends on what you enjoy more, fighters or capital ships :)
thank you guys, I have heard of xwing and it also looks very fun to play but I kinda like to play something with capital ships, thats why im leaning more to armada. If u know of something similar to it please let me know.
Great match! Now I want to play Armada......
+Inza Nelson I end up having to play with Vassal to play with my friends. (Sucks when we live on different areas of the country)
tactical point, activate ships in front first when they are in a line, unless you're going for imperial flavor points.
diden quirk fotget to move the cr90 at 21:40?
when line of sight draws over a ship or Obstecale (space station also), you loose 1 dice from your atack pool, that also counts on shooting at fighters and also fighter vs fighter.
Concentrait fire, is used after you have roled the atack pool :)
good game :)
Can't use two evade defense tokens in a single attack, and those interceptors should have "Counter" attacked before they died. Otherwise great battle
+Chad Moore Oh and if you hate the Victory class, wait till you face Imperial class star destroyers... and the reference for that evade token is on page 4 of the rules reference guide in the "defense token" section
quick question. when you attivate squadrons with command dial. can you still use them in squadron phase?
*whispers*
spacedust
being a rules n00b can you brace and redirect at will? or does it cost resource?
plus are the cards random/picked or do they come with the specific ship?
+Jellicakes I am still a noob too but basically each ship comes with a series of tokens assigned to it specifically for defense. You may use them once to exhaust them and twice to lose it forever.
The cards come with the ships but you can use cards from other ships too. Each ship has icons on its card for what types of "upgrades" you can have and you can select from your cards to fill those slots.
+Jellicakes Each ship's pack comes with a certain set of upgrade cards. Some may be unique to it, like upgrading a "stock" variant to a named one, but most of them can be applied to other ships as well. They do have to meet certain requirements tho, like a matching and available upgrade slots, enough points left in your list, ship/base size etc
+Jellicakes ahh I see, thanks for the info guys, much appreciated
Around the 7 minute mark you goofed pretty bad. The attacker rolls his attack pool, does any modifying, then *spends* accuracy results. You cannot use an Evade token to make him reroll the Accuracy result since it's already gone from the pool and the effect applied (unless you take Electronic Counter Measures).
Why are you guys still playing 300pts?
+Groundpenguin Special scenario. Just wanted to try something new and weird. 400 points of ships that are not iconic "rebel" ships is hard to make.
+wolfsigma This battle had an Assault Frigate MK2 in it, that ship only turned up in the EU how is that iconic? you can easily make a fleet up of 400pts using only ships from the films.
