SageNytell posted:Here's a question - how large would the Death Star Mark 1 be in the relative scale used in Armada? Is this even possible to create within a similar scale? If a VCSD mk1 is 3 inches long, at about 1km long real length, a Death Star 1 would be 30 feet in diameter at 120km wide. Death Star II was even bigger.

My FLGS owner said he was told by his distributor that FFG raised the price of the game but not the MSRP because they aren't selling it outside of FLGS or something. Wonder if it's Asmodee related.

S.J. posted:Correct, it will only be sold through hobby channels and via distributors specifically. The issue is that Hasbro, not FFG, has the license to Star Wars board games, but not miniature or role playing games. The price increase is no doubt the payout to Hasbro in exchange for not having the product pulled. Is this just from the rumors online or did someone from FFG say that?

Sgt. Anime Pederast posted:Really looking forward to armada. Though the lack of variety for wave 1 ships looks annoying. I think they could've sold a lot more people on it if they included Imperial Class Star Destroyers and Mon Calamari Star Cruisers. I understand that they want to make it a wave based game like X-Wing, but the price point for the core set and the prices on the expansions doesn't excite me if I'm not getting Cool Ships.

Welp, I think I got a faulty AT-ST in my Imperial Assault. The legs don't fit on it and fit on the base. The right foot is way off. Gonna send in a request now so I can hopefully get good parts to play after the holidays. edit: Hot water trick worked

Sir DonkeyPunch posted:Star Fleet Battles... I always just stare at that game at my FLGS, have trouble accepting that it's a real thing I am seeing with my own eye That game is loving nuts. Giant hex map with tiny chits and 3" binders for rule books. Every player is a 60+ year old ornery Republican.

Sgt. Anime Pederast posted:So far every post I've seen about ImpAss seems to be about the models, the quality of, etc. Not one person is talking about the game itself. Is this worrying? People haven't had a chance to really play yet, outside of those who got it early. Opening the box and looking at the minis is the first step. I've run the tutorial on my own and I love the new mechanics like activating groups after each hero and defense dice causing misses, not attack dice.

Finally got to play Impass tonight. I really thought I had them on the ropes in the intro mission. The E-Web wounded someone and took another person down to almost wounded. Then they killed all my guys in one turn.... It came down to the wire, though. They had 1 activation to get the last terminal in the last round. Nobody felt like the game was unfair and the rolling is fun. They definitely want to play again!

Strobe posted:Line of Sight is a bitch, and you should definitely define well beforehand how your group is going to use it. Even the examples in the book don't cover everything, and it's incredibly frustrating when folks disagree over what constitutes cover. I don't particularly like the book definitions, quite honestly. There is exactly zero in between stage from completely unable to be targeted and open season, which bugs me quite a bit considering that there are situations where your figure can be 90% hidden behind a wall and still be shot as if they're standing right out there in the open. I agree this would work as an optional rule. I can see why they didn't do it this way. They want a fast paced action game. The tedium of checking corners each time you attack and a game based on cover, where everyone tries to end their movement hiding as much as possible, would be a boring way to play by default.

Shes Not Impressed posted:I usually don't have trouble with FFG manuals, but I feel that there is a complete lack of detail in setting up as the Imperial player. Perhaps it's because the game is new so I have no visual video evidence to check on YouTube, but I can't help but think that there is an entire rule book missing. You have to refer all over the place. They have switched to this Rules Reference Guide system for their games and it makes learning to play just awful

Y'all have the way move actions and movement points work messed up. The way it is: Move action gives you move points. Any time you have move points you use them. It's not an action to use them. You can use move points, then attack, then use the rest of your move points. At any time during a hero's activation he can suffer a strain to gain 1 move point. He can do this twice per turn.

You only get move points if you take the move action, or suffer a strain to get a move point.

Obama 2012 posted:Is it worth $5? I thought about picking it up, but was appalled (APPALLED I SAY!) that they were asking that much when I can get most complete games for, like, $1.99. I don't know if it is or not, but I would probably hand an opponent some of my extra dice instead of trying to squint at their phone every time they rolled.

Chill la Chill posted:The problem with apps isn't the lack of clarity in the "black box" and visceral feel of dice - it's that the screen is so small it's more of a hindrance than help. And everyone should have dice from their base set anyway. Unless you don't have hands there's no real reason to use the app
