This brings back memories of AD&D and Warhammer minatures gaming. Sadly, I don't have time anymore and am relegated to playing games a couple of hours a week on the PS4. Growing older has its disadvantages....
If you have kids, use them as an excuse. If you don't have kids, then have some. It's a really great way justify throwing a bunch of time and money into your expensive hobbies.
The bumps going while measuring and such are a bit ....well....accidental? or just not focused enough, because i saw Justin being not that careful moving things around. Nice battle but why do they play on a double mat.....they only used a wee tiny bit of it :-)
Josiah, congratulations. Any chance you would trade one of those HWKs for Nym with a similar list? He seems like such an effective pilot. Nice to see a squadron heavy list that didn't rely on A-wings.
Thanks! I wouldn't really consider that, mainly due to how tight points are (both squadron max wise and overall), but also due to how important I've found double intel to be.
After wave 2 released the point limit for tournament play moved up to 400 points. It was planned that way from release; start the game off a little smaller and then when wave 2 introduced large based ships more points where needed. 400 really feels like a much fuller game and if you haven't tried it I'd highly recommend it!
The 'accidental' push with the ruler at 1 hour and few mins when looking at range for last bomber by Justin was way out of order, that kind of crap is beyond the pale. If facing a wall of bombers, perhaps do something other than fly fast as possible into them.
Not at all. Justin plays this fleet very aggressively and goes for a quick overwhelming force in your face. My fleet was much more skirting, but he turned into the fight. Many games involve much more complicated maneuvering, and some fleets kite very well, such as in the semi-final game FFG streamed, but hasn't been uploaded to TH-cam.
fortunately, no. I'm not the player with the most matches played, but none of my matches looked like that. There was a lot more maneuvering, dodging front arcs and close calls. I agree that this match was a bit boring to watch, but the bomber/flotilla meta kind of made this prevalent. Hopefully, next waves we'll see more exciting stuff.
@Josiah Burkhardsmeier fantastic showcase! a well earned win. I am curious about your ship "Cards". did you custom make those? I like the look and how it really ties all the cards/dials together. cheers!
Uuughh why me and my league limit our fleets to 200 points. That play area is a mess and just a blob vs a blob of stuff. Sorry but I would NEVER play in any "tournament" where it is that a freaking mess. If that is fun to you then so be it, but I will pass on that trash.
And I should care you do not like our house rules why? I am glad our house rules mean that much to you, and is that important in your life, but sadly I have to inform you, we don't give a crap what you think.
My favorite part is how this troll gives his opinion about how bad something is. then loses it when someone tells him his way is bad. Stay salty my friend....stay salty
dr.krieger he wants to give us his opinion unrequested but as soon as he gets an opinion about how trash his "house rule" is, he says he doesnt care what we think. The funny thing is, that isn't even a house rules. It's just him being bad unable to play the game as t the full value so they cut the points in half. Never mind that playing at 200pts breaks the balance of the game.
All this happens while the Empire sits just out of sight, laughing at the civil war within the civil war
So true
I was going to get into the game. I had bought the Core set and a few expansions, only to learn you need a lot more space to play it then I had. lol
you could have read that fact before you buy it xD
Loved to watch the match and the commentary was excellent! Love to have more like this in the future, esspeshally coverage of Armada!
I'm not sure I can stand up that long to play this game lol

notjux and don’t forget, it’s super fun to take care of them too 😉
Not that I don't love the hell out of this game, but 1.5x speed helped a lot.
Hey, @Master Of The Fleet are on the audience! Love your videos!!
This is the nerdest thing on youtube.
I love it.
The bumps going while measuring and such are a bit ....well....accidental? or just not focused enough, because i saw Justin being not that careful moving things around.
Nice battle but why do they play on a double mat.....they only used a wee tiny bit of it :-)
Be nice to see some 1080p resolution. Other than that, good coverage~
Are the rest of the matches recorded?

What is the reason to up the point to 400 instead of 300?
After wave 2 released the point limit for tournament play moved up to 400 points. It was planned that way from release; start the game off a little smaller and then when wave 2 introduced large based ships more points where needed. 400 really feels like a much fuller game and if you haven't tried it I'd highly recommend it!

does FFG do like team tournaments???
do they really only go straight and met in the middle for a dice fest? what's the point then. are most matches like this.
Not at all. Justin plays this fleet very aggressively and goes for a quick overwhelming force in your face. My fleet was much more skirting, but he turned into the fight.

Athrin Zala Thanks so much! The ship trays are from Imperial Phoenix hobby works, the easiest way to find them is probably through Facebook.
Hi
ist dieses rumgemesse nicht total nervig ??
Uuughh why me and my league limit our fleets to 200 points. That play area is a mess and just a blob vs a blob of stuff.
Sorry but I would NEVER play in any "tournament" where it is that a freaking mess. If that is fun to you then so be it, but I will pass on that trash.
400 is what the game is balanced for so you arent even playing the game correctly.
And I should care you do not like our house rules why?
I am glad our house rules mean that much to you, and is that important in your life, but sadly I have to inform you, we don't give a crap what you think.
My favorite part is how this troll gives his opinion about how bad something is. then loses it when someone tells him his way is bad. Stay salty my friend....stay salty
200 points? Sounds boring as fuck, but you do you.
dr.krieger he wants to give us his opinion unrequested but as soon as he gets an opinion about how trash his "house rule" is, he says he doesnt care what we think.
