God...my heart dropped when I heard the sound of the CR90 falling. I would definitely not have been able to keep my cool like you did had that happened to me.
I just watched this video of yours for the first time in a long while. You are now one of the foremost experts on Star Wars Armada, but in this video, Its amazing that at that time, it seemed like you had no idea what this game was about or how to play it. Does time fly or what, my friend?
Watching this for the first time in 2023, always interesting to see early perceptions of games with hindsight. You are my favorite Armada content creator, and you were my guide in my formative games!
This is a victory II class as per Wookiepedia. The rendering is the same as the model supplied in the box. The antennaes say it all! Perhaps this is to set us up for wave one with a Vic I class SD with better upgrades. The vic. II didn't have missle tubes, and the Devastator was Vader's flagship before the Executioner. Loving the feel of this game. The painted engines really made my day!Feel really crappy about your cr90 man! Great vid.
To clarify - your original comment say "That is the SD at the beginning of Episode 4". That was the Devastator, an Imperial Class SD. I thought you were referring to the Victory Class in the video... For the record, I am aware that a Victory is smaller and would not fit the Tantive 4 in it's docking back... however I was more-less showcasing it .... just because
Fichnships It is crush protection for your ships you all want to be immaculate. Boxes like that are like that to protect the contents. Gamers are anal about cards being bent or minis being so much as out of shape. It's crush protection, very simple.
Biggest standard ship then. At the time of this video nobody was really playing x-wing epic, so I probably just thinking more about the standard 100v100 ships
No. Otherwise, the cr-90 would be smaller than the Nebulon by a lot more, and the Victory would be bigger, and the Imperial would be far bigger (I know, how?)
I found this game a complete and utter clutter. Jesus there's more tokens and cards Then game play. the models are awesome especially the imperial star destroyer which I got the same time I got the core box. but I can't stand the game itself which is a shame cos the idea of the game is easy to play the models are really cool well made but too much clutter.
Poor guy. All I could think through the entire video was how sad it was that his ship broke at the beginning :(

I cringed so badly when you dropped the CR90 XD
+Ethan Ton I cried a little
+Crabbok

RJL 518 I just watched this myself after seeing Crabbok at GenCon teaching people how to play. Love these videos from even back then.
Awww man sorry for you CR 90 O.o Sounded like quite a drop.... That really sucks, such an expensive model too...
Jesus, dropped the Corvette... oh that's got to hurt :(
I'm officially 3 and a half minutes in, and I'm already speechless at your level of calm.

The poor CR-90 :(
so sorry bout the CR 90! : (
And so sorry about the ship it was really cool
sorry about your CR90
Oh man, sorry about your fallen ship.

I started screeching when the cr90 broke
A critical hit without a die being rolled, hope you fixed it and all is well.
Great video, can’t wait ordered my first core set today!
I'm getting it for Christmas oh and I already have the mc80 and nebulan b frigate
Ouch just be glad it didn't burst into a million pieces looks like a complicated game.
I can't believed it. Since I'm listen to you and I play Armada, it's the first time that I see this video :P
Can you please measure the CR90 and the Frigate? I am wondering if they are close to 1/2256 scale.
Are you thinking what the star destroyer pengo looks like 😂😂😂😂
That is the SD at the beginning of episode 4. They are not to scale. They are to feel. FFG declared that very early on.
Nooooo, it can't be. This has extra antennas and stuff that no on-screen SD ever had.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Devastator It is an Imperial class according to this

First appearance of Victory class SD is the Hasbro board game Star Wars Electronic Galactic Battle.
Crabbok I have to concede I forgot about ISD.
4.00 it looks like a keyhole
I have the same issue with my victory class and I’m new to this what would be a good method to keep it down to prevent it falling while moving
Paint Tie Wings black and X-wings give the a black cockpit and a red stripe.
***** I already did a pretty thorough paint job on them here: th-cam.com/video/bki3qIH7mQw/w-d-xo.html
seems like FFG are shipping alot of air in that box - bigger box for higher price point or what is up with that box???
Well at least you can keep a couple expansions in that box.

FFG likes large boxes for the shelf presence. It's a marketing thing.
Matthew Nott Or the weight of 1000 packages in a shipping container would CRUSH them.
Nah. They've always used over sized boxes.
why did you say the decimator was the biggest ship in x wing when its clearly half the size of the cr90?
Biggest standard ship then. At the time of this video nobody was really playing x-wing epic, so I probably just thinking more about the standard 100v100 ships
+Crabbok ah okay. I ordered the tantive iv. yet to get if. I hope it doesn't have shit paint job. if it does I will fix the black wet wssh myself.
are these ships to scale ?? the big ones I mean not the tiny x wings
No. Otherwise, the cr-90 would be smaller than the Nebulon by a lot more, and the Victory would be bigger, and the Imperial would be far bigger (I know, how?)
Cool ships crabbok
lol the stand holder on the victory sd. more Disney subliminal messaging
+A Parrot It is shaped like a KEY hole, not a... you know.
everyone is so dirty minded
_ding_ *dong*

i suggest you get a plano storage box or something similar to organize it, if you wish to keep playing.
