Armada Available Now.

[Mr Mystery]

Yep, it's finally hit.

Afraid I'm going to give it a miss until I've tried the game play.

Wasn't terribly impressed by the models I saw.

[Houghten]

After all that hype?

[Mr Mystery]

Yep.

Just saw a game set up, and felt 'meh'

Which is quite unlike me, as I'm normally pretty rabid about stuff!

[Houghten]

Welp. More money to spend on X-Wing!

What was going to be an Impstar can now be a full flight of TIE Defenders...

[Mr Mystery]

Please don't just take my word for it!

Do check it out for yourself. I only have an opinion like.

Ordered a couple sets to give it a go. Capital ship combat in the Star Wars universe is just too sweet for me to pass up.

I want to give it a go, but I think I should play some regular X-Wing for now. I have the core box for it but haven't had a chance to give it a try. Some of the guys I play with are thinking of playing some days at a regular ol' FLGS rather than the Games Workshop store, so I'm likely going to be transferring some of my hobby spending into games like X-Wing and possibly Armada (especially as I really miss Battlefleet Gothic).

[40kGamer]

X-wing is a great little game. Lot's of fast furious dogfighting fun. Honestly I still marginally prefer Aeronautica Imperialis in that you get the added flavor of 3 dimensional dogfights but I digress...

Armada looks to be more plodding and strategic. Having to plan multiple maneuvers for the big capital ships is just a cool mechanic. They have definitely managed to create a game that provides a very different playing experience.

Any recommended sites to watch a game being played? (Gotta admit I'm being lazy and haven't even looked for myself yet, haha.)

I have to say I lost excitement over this one due to the last thread (though I guess that's more Amazons fault), and I am way more excited for Scum! I will own 4 IG-2000s before I get the Armada, especially if what Mystery said about the detail is true.

[Mr Mystery]

Please don't just take my word for it. I may have seen duff ones sent out to Esdevium as a 'factory second' purely for demo purposes.

Have a squint yourself, you may disagree entirely!
