Thanks, Dave! I apologize to you as well for un-intentionally deleting your earlier post. I don't think there is a way to entirely repost a video without losing the comments.
18:40 // Critical : For each Crit icon rolled, if the attacker and defender are both ships, the defender suffers one damage and the first damage card dealt is dealt faceup ... ( page 13 - Star Wars Armada Learn To Play ) One damage for each critical hit & the first card Faceup .... This is The Best Tutorial to learn the Star Wars Armada Rules !!!
Finally someone who has an innate sense of explaining rules clearly and concisely to someone! Great job man! I'm so tired of other videos going "Oh here is an awkward camera angle of my armada figures and I'll just go through the game and ramble on about rules" Keep it up man!
"Star Wars has always been a WW2 series with a sci fi twist"....... That is because IT IS. The Empire has always been a parody of the Axis powers, more specifically Nazi Germany. The Space battles is reminiscent of Carrier warfare. While Star Trek(TOS) combat is reminiscent of Submarine Warfare with one episode, BALANCE OF TERROR is a almost scene by scene script of the movie, THE ENEMY BELOW(1957).
A crit result still counts as a hit ;) Regardless of the amount of Critical effects you resolve :) Apart from that, very good vid to explain the basics though!
Just started playing with my nephew and we had a ton of questions after the first test, this is seriously the best tutorial and it covers everything! You won two subs tonight
This is so helpful! Though I have to ask...when you bank a command token instead of using the dial, does that mean you keep the token for later use, such as using it on the next round to add the effect?
very good tutorial. Recently started playing this and while i did read the rules and what ever else was still iffy on how things played out with the game. This video cleared up a lot of things for me. Saved for future reference. Also who dosn't want the cool looking ships on the desk. Was the biggest seller for me.
mistakes on the hits...all symbols except the accuracy (not focus) count as hits. So in the example there is actually 7 damage rolled with a crit in effect. You just resolve a crit if one is visible...no need to move it next to the damage deck (since each player has their own deck) after resolution of defence tokens if it goes to hull. Of course special crits from upgrade cards also resolve at that time and should be resolved before applying damage. Best example is Assault proton torpedoes. (APT) Attacker shoots...rolls black - hit/hit/ hit/crit. For 4 damage. Defender declares tokens and where they are going to redirect to (if they redirect of course, this is important as some damage cards remove shields from zones)..then attacker declares the type of crit they are resolving either the default or APT (hint: Always choose APT) Then resolve the damage card from APT then the 4 damage as rolled. Great graphics though if you make an updated corrected version I would definitely watch again.
@@ere15xkmc74 well lol... that and remember to keep your U wings alive because every U wing that makes it by the empire is a ship that will land 3 activations worth of legion troops onto a planet the empire is defending both in space in CQC space. Standard style legion and another style I have been working on that will feature 11-16 activations of just heavy’s and flying stuff... utter madness between my ears oh yeah... I have been thinking about this for over a year now. and I am trying to accomplish an entire Galactic conquest game along with custom characters. featuring the combination of 3 games. you are talking -empire at war -battlefront II (classic) -star wars legion -star wars armada -star wars x wing with a healthy touch of monopoly/Risk in there because I am designing the planets to work together as well. *passes out from forgetting to breath*
@@battlefieldcustoms873 The only issue im having right now with my system is that we played 1 round for 3 days. Maybe adding abordage using GR-75 and U-Wing to capture enemy ship wasnt a good idea.
On turning you said that on a vertical line, you can decide to just go straight. But isnt that wrong? That would mean youre decreasing your turn value by 1 meaning youd need a navigation command.
On 18:15 you attacked with the black die that showed a crit and normal attack but you only dealt that as one damage. Thats wrong isnt it? Thats dealt as two damage.
When you set your speed on the speed dial, does it remain at that speed until it's changed? Like yes say you set your Corvette's speed to 3... does it stay there the whole game unless you change it with a speed command or token?
the best instructional video for this game.

Literally copying and pasting these as slides to print them off right now!
Thanks for the kind words. Patrick!

I thought if you got two crits with your rolls the second becomes a hit? (18.40)
Having searched through a few Armada how-to on YT, this one stands out as exceptional. Thank you for taking the time to make!
I always thought x-wing was one of the dumbest names for a wargame. It’d be like of they called WH40K space marine instead
I thought if you got two crits with your rolls the second becomes a hit? (18.40)
nope only one crit regardless of how many crits you roll.
ok I backtrack let me re-read the rules / forums etc it's confusing

Would love to see a Harsh rules Armada Corellian Conflict and the new Rebellion in the Rim Campaign guide.

I considered getting this game. But even with the video, the whole thing still sounds like too much work to play a "simple" game.
You can tell which one the person likes because his voice changes dramatically when talking about Armada
Bravo!! Best Armada Tutorial online. Period.
I know the font makes it hard to read, but it's actually General Dodonna. That second 'D' looks way too much like an 'O'.
Thanks, Will. I knew something was off.
Amazing presentation. Thank you!
Does attacking squadrons from a ship count as a hull zone
very good tutorial. Recently started playing this and while i did read the rules and what ever else was still iffy on how things played out with the game. This video cleared up a lot of things for me. Saved for future reference. Also who dosn't want the cool looking ships on the desk. Was the biggest seller for me.
You're Welcome, Racro! My desk also has far too many ship models and game figures. They're so cool!
Did you guys make one for Star wars legion?
nice work dude, i think delivery could've been a tad faster but as it was the pace was nice and easy to understand!
I think he deliberately talks slow so you can choose to increase the playback speed if you wish.
When you do two Crits the second still counts as a normal hit I thought? Just seeing what you done at 18.40
you should reference the rule book line when you question this. where did you see this rule.
Page 13 of the rule book.
Finally, the defender suffers damage equal to the
number of hit and critical icons remaining
(see “Ship Damage” on page 15).
Outstanding 👍

that 2nd question “are they compatible” my channel aims to change that!
this tutorial is going to come in haandy soon
Its easy. Whenever squadrons engage just play X wing game instead of rolling the die

This channel helped me play fallout the board game, x wing 2.0, and armada, GREAT JOB GUYS
was the audio clip from 13:00 ish from event Horizon ?
I don't think so. I want to say it's a Star Wars sound, but it was like 5 years ago. So it's hard to remember.
Hi. These tutorials are exceptional timesavers. Bravo. Would you consider doing one for Warlord Games’, “Black Seas”?
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION!
On turning you said that on a vertical line, you can decide to just go straight. But isnt that wrong? That would mean youre decreasing your turn value by 1 meaning youd need a navigation command.
This is the best game instructions I have ever seen. Major props and thank you for this. You helped me to really understand this game.
On 18:15 you attacked with the black die that showed a crit and normal attack but you only dealt that as one damage. Thats wrong isnt it? Thats dealt as two damage.
Thanks for the refresher - excellent!
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
I'm a very visual learner, and this was an ideal tutorial. I already have a sizable fleet and never played. Lol
¡Gracias!
Doooma
Great tutorial. Very easy to play the game after this explanantion
Nice instructional video! Much appreciated!
14:55
Super helpful tutorial. Thanks so much!
Very good tutorial
Thank you, Lukasz! Appreciate the support!
The best game tutorial I’ve watched. So clear and easy to follow. 😬👍
Yep. Sad, that this game got killed of by Asmodee. 😢
Awesome job and thank you
What represents the skrodrens in ww2
Your videos are amazing! You deserve waayy more subs
You kinda sound like the guy from Baldi's basics at times.
Thank you. I think...
Love your rules explanations !
I like om stragi games
Will you do the Unconditional surrender rule explain?
Sure! I'll make a note to drop it in to the next part of the Armada series.
Good stuff. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you! It should be available within the week.
Nice and clear, excellent tutorial fella's
Much appreciated!
God
what an intro!
Gooood
Do you use scatter before or after your enemies attack
I believe it is after. Scatter is a Defense token.
@@harsh-rules k thanks
just brilliant
Thanks!
When you set your speed on the speed dial, does it remain at that speed until it's changed? Like yes say you set your Corvette's speed to 3... does it stay there the whole game unless you change it with a speed command or token?
You're correct, Nick, you need to use a speed Command or Token to adjust.
Who else is waiting for the clone wars.
Boring
