Always fun to see an SSD in action!

I love the one I have (the green blade). It's something I have been wanting since 1978. It looks cheap but it's good quality. It's perfect for cosplay or just fooling around with. . You need to watch the videos that tell you the backstory of this item.

Where can I download the app?

Agree, the key really is to attack at the same time, not one ship a turn

Nice one :)

Void admiral

The Throngler

Yeah... I can fight to the death here 😍

Part of the spectacle of the game for me is that it is not a skirmish game. 30+ minis per side minimum, 40+ ideally. But the average fleet size is like 60+ minis. Not as many tokens ands cards as FFG likes to put in these games. Other than being skirmish games, I did not get into MCP and X-wing because of all the junk that came with them. At least Armada was at a scale I don't usually play and I could make armies. Armada was different enough to overcome the clutter it came with.

Shippy MacShipface

I don't know boaty mc boat face sounds pretty epic

That ship is epic

Great game and absolutely awesome board. Name the boat SS Wash Your Socks. 😂

Considering the Typo, the "Caro" fits in some ways...

Ship: Tantive II

Ship name: Never Taken It's the sister ship to the Ever Given, the container ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal

What kinda battery’s do they take ??

IMHO, XWing (pre-2.5) and Armada were unicorns. Fun to play whether you won or lost. Simple to learn but difficult to master. Play with a simple list (i.e., no upgrades or quick builds) or full on listbuilding. Easy entry to play with pre-painted and -assembled miniatures. 3x - 4x cheaper than Warhammer. And a friendly and awesome community that holds a special place in my heart.❤ FFG had supremely talented people working on these miniature wargames. 🫡

Great Hondo

Helps a lot but 10:04 I think it might be total of 2vp right? 7-4-1=2

Glad to see more armada!

Failing to go through with making the Gunboat (Star Wing) the final X-Wing re-release *before* AMG killed it off seems a very odd decision by AMG. Original 1.0 models are being sold for in excess of $100 or £100 on Ebay. I'd deffo have bought several, had AMG given me the chance.

The solution for painting probe droids is easy: Put the stand in after painting. I'm a bit puzzled by some of the new things (have been a while). The division of clones by primary weapons makes so much more sense (though the naming is a bit weird). Have we ever actually seen riot storm troopers in media? Feels like the KX should've been a personell or counterpart upgrade for troopers in general, feels like that's how they're used in media. The ARF is even weirder. Why not use CLone Scout Troopers as shown in RotS?

speaking of future space games, can we talk about Babylon 5? It's about due for a return to gaming.

Outside of America, I think the number of houses that have room for a 6x3 table is much lower.

I'd like smaller capital ship models and flotillas on a single base, just like you said. I think model wise Halo Fleet Command was pretty perfect in that regard. Even more I'm in favor of model rather than card centric list building. I'm really not a fan of the "FFG approach" (inhereted by AMG) were models often are vehicles for (all to frequently generic rather than unit specific) upgrades and prefer the classic GW approach. Rules wise I'd really like someone attempting a simplified newtonian physics based approach, using vector addition, inertia and maybe some other actual space things. Wouldn't object to a lowish SF setting here (Expanse could be dope).

Very cool ideas.

Just give me Armada!

Asking non-trivially. If One Page Rules minis and rules were boxed, how would it fit in your criteria?

I’m really happy with how the game plays now, and I appreciate your videos

I'd like it to be reasonably priced.

Thank you for this video, it helped me

For games like this (and games in general) a big aspect for me is scalability and variable complexity/difficulty. Ideally, I want a game that I can play a quick simplified version/scenario with some players and a longer more complex version/scenario with others.

Here's how I'd view each factions identity: Empire: Overwelming Force They're clearly the blunt instrument of the SW universe and the Astra Militarum from 40k wouldn't be a bad inspiration. They're about big guns and directly getting in your face with your troops, but probably not too many refined tricks. Their units could be a bit more specialized and rely on each other more than average (same could be said for seppies and republic though) Rebels: Guerilla Warfare Sort of the opposite of the Empire, their troops should rely on all the tricks in the book, relying on skirmishing, harassment, disruption, movement and good battlefield/terrain exploitation rather than raw power. Heroes and individual operatives as well as units being maybe a bit more self contained rather than synergistic (with some exceptions, like dedicated support stuff) could allso play into it. Republic: Well coordinated combined arms An army of mostly one mind, having an instinctual understanding of each other this army should be (and largely is) about units working extremely well in cooperation with one another. It's all about that synergy and mutal support in probably the most elite (low model count, high individual strength) framework. Separtists: Carthage Much like the above city state's forces the Droid Army (and other attached elements) is cobbled together from several individual component forces of diverse origin (essentially an assebled mercenary army). Thus you get a lot of subthemes with a bunch of diferent specializations. I guess it has the most monofocus/specialized units(makes think of Drukhari in 40k). This should be interwoven with a certain hordiness (B1, geonosian hives).

Late to the party, but: For the republic version at least, I feel like Echo should've been optional (not part of equip and costed). He only joins the team at the end of the clone wars arch and during large parts of their own series he doesn't run with the team. On the rebel version you could argue that only Hunter and Wrecker should be mandatory, but that includes season 3 knowledge (and the end of S2...)

Agreed. Simplicity in ruleset is soooooo important

Great video! I agree with your 10. The one thing I would add is movement should feel appropriate for the ships and what they represent i.e. if you are moving capital ships they should be a bit more combersome to maneuver. As a side note I loved the Last Star Fighter reference

10 Things I need in a Spaceship Game 10. MC-80s 9. ISDs 8. Nebulon-B Frigates 7. TIE Fighters 6. TIE Defender 5. TIE Phantoms 4. A-Wings 3. B-Wings 2. TIE Interceptors 1. X-Wings Though in seriousness, the big one for me is the mechanics need to feel thematic. Armada's dice system makes sense to me. You have red long range weapons, you have black "shotguns". Blue dice have all the ion weapons. I don't want a dice game that happens to have minis on the board. I want the board to make sense within the rules.

I have a few ideas for a game but still working on the ideas but I like fleet games as it looks SO nice when you have these impressive ships and some like the flotillas that are multi ships per base just add to the immersion

Id love you see you take a look at onepagerules warfleets. a good option to use the ships you already own

Agreed!

We are working on something😉 Crabbok, Would you like a box set to review when ready?

have you looked at dropfleet commander

My absolute number 1 requirement is for it to be fun and accessible (might count as two?) I would also hope that anything would have a significant backlog of lore to draw from. If 343 didn't fumble Halo then I could imagine bringing back Halo Fleet battles with a whole heap of units and at least 3 factions.

Wow this is a nice board.

Thanks for being a positive force in this community!
