I thought I was a huge star wars sperg since I read all the books and played xwing and tie fighter. What the hell is a gladiator and where is it from?

So is the game going to be functionally different from Descent: Second edition in any major ways aside from star wars and selling tons of expansions?

Really looking forward to armada. Though the lack of variety for wave 1 ships looks annoying.

True, but I wasn't interested in those since no star destroyers! So its new to me! Though from what I recall about playing tie fighter, a swarm of rebel starfighters is a legit threat to any capital ship.

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?

Just preordered Armada because I have poor impulse control. Wonder if nothing but victories will be a viable build.

I'm buying everything in Wave 1 aside from the assault frigate. (Rebels should be quick and light strike forces most of the time, dammit. Not lumbering capital ships). And I look forward to unpacking everything and making pew pew noises with my mouth. Also playing the game I guess.

Too lazy to cancel the preorder for a possible lower price at amazon.

So far I've resisted the urge to buy imperial assault, mainly because I already have descent.

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.

In the lore rebels are pretty reliant on fighters since their capital ships lose to imperial ones. So I'm glad to see that as a star wars nerd.

Armada is on mass drop, but I think I'm too indecisive to buy it. :smith:

Yeah but is the extra manuever tool and dice worth it?

Just a heads up that SW Armada core set is on sale at Cool Stuff Inc for $55. I think it's a daily deal type sale.

I hope Armada never brings out an Interdictor cruiser. It will have me then.

You're safe for now. It's mostly going to be ships from the new movie for the next few waves

If your opponent doesn't place a planet though aren't you hosed?

It's an invulnerable ship that can fly through a star destroyer and take no damage so
