Two years ago this would have really excited me but sadly, none of my friends now play Armada any more and have all moved on to other games. We all have huge fleets but the lack of new fleets coming out just seemed to kill our club. Oh well, hope you guys enjoy all the new stuff nonetheless.

That's a good informative video, thanks. The only other thing I would've wanted to see is a new-player-friendly comparison of the two Clone Wars factions, to be a really complete buying guide. A breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses would be great for players not familiar enough with Armada already to get that from cards and unboxings alone.
@williamoder56143 жыл бұрын
Just a helpful price of info for new comers trying to get to a point to play a 400 point game. With a starter and one squad pack it is possible to put together a fleet for a 400 point game. You will be running max squads and probably have a 10-15 pint bid to choose first or second player but it's possible. An upgrade card pack will increase your options. So for $150 retail you can play a 400 point game with limited variation in your fleet composition.

You can easily build 300 point fleets with either Clone Wars starter + squadron pack + upgrade card pack.
@almightypip3 жыл бұрын
Came here to say this. I've found (and I have upgrades from previous waves) that a core set and squadron pack were enough to get me to 400 points. There's not a lot of variety to this though, and so I don't think it's entirely wrong to recommend two starter packs. Just a lot of monies.
@brianbleakley46793 жыл бұрын
@@almightypip Yeah there's not many ways to build to hit 400, 300 would probably be more fun. I enjoyed 300 points back in the early days of armada. It would be a shame to buy two core sets considering most people will not be playing in organized tournaments until the pandemic is over. If you are just playing at home w/ friends and family it's better to do 300 points and wait for the second wave.

K veteran words here I have played Armada since 2016 and Honestly all the clone wars content is very nice but for the first time I didn't have the same excitement and joy I usually have when I open an Armada order one of the main reasons being that half of the components are useless to me and I don't like the new cards format and will use resized reprint so I only need the ships, squad and stand) . I think FFG missed a great opportunity to make an essential kit and individual release. Even for new players getting ships to make a 400pts fleet or have enough dice will cost them at least 2 starters.

If you want to be able to field two player games for $100 get the original rebel/ imperial core set. If you can swing the $200 get a republic starter and a sepratist starter. As far as which faction to buy? Both are balanced. Get what you like more if you are only getting one of the new starters.
