My nights are now restless, my demeanor agitated each moment that I am not playing. Life has become a dark mine, and this, THIS, is the lone shaft of light tempting me, daring me to escape." take out your credit card or wallet or whatever. "Please let me feel the sun on my face again." IF she's not impressed, then just tell her it's Star Wars, so you want it a bunch.

I got the impression that the S&V ships were more going to be a pack split between rebel and imperial, like how the LCG does it, not their own faction.

Just got a delay email from Amazon for my Armada order requesting approval for the delay or offering to cancel it for me. Oh no Amazon, you're not getting out of my bargain preorder that easily

I was able to chat to one of their people and get the price knocked back down! £46 rather than £80 - that's another ship or a couple of squadron packs extra!

I see that MM and CSI both have Armada up for preorder for around $70, is that a good deal, and should they ship in a timely manner? I've heard all kinds of weird things about preorders is the only reason I ask. Also, I intend to buy this so that my gf and I can play it, so should I get an additional maneuver tool as well?

I can't think of a reason you'd need two simultaneously, unless by "both playing" you mean "both playing vs other opponents at the same time."

How well does ImpAss work just as a straightforward skirmish game, i.e. ignoring the campaign entirely?

Oh man, that ISD looks great. It's so goddamn BIG. The Mon Cal Crusier will probably cost about a Medium Transport or Tantive IV, but I have no idea about the ISD. I'll probably end up buying it anyway.

NTRabbit and I seem to share geography so maybe that affects their delay process. According to me my order is 10 weeks and 3 days old; an odd number to trigger on Madurai posted:They look sort of unfinished. Like the wash hasn't been applied to them.

Does anybody know how armada's dice compare to one another? I'm having a difficult time judging how good the different ships and squadrons are. Also, I'm way too hype about Armada. When that scum pack is released it looks like armada ships will be great for SW RPG space battles too.

I put together the new ATST last night. I used a bowl of hot water to make it soft and a bowl of cold water to set the mini the way I like it and it took maybe 10mins.

That and the fact that there's no defense dice rolling, just the tokens. There's very finite amounts of reduction that can occur. Rebel fighters basically all being bombers is pretty scary too, fighters are going to be really important I think.

Somebody here (I think) made a comment to the effect of how X-wing is a game of positioning your ships so that you aren't relying on dice results to save you. Armada looks more to be a game of positioning and efficient utilization of ship commands/abilities? The dice will hit more reliably so you'll need to use your stuff better than the other guy uses his.

It's also pretty fast paced at six rounds. Having seen a demo play I really can't understand how that'll work, the ships are pretty tanky. I'm sure it does, of course, but it must be throwing tons of damage dice.
