Title: Star Wars Armada
Post by: MadDrB on August 25, 2014, 04:49:03 pm: I enjoy X-Wing, but I'm more interested in a fleet action game with system mechanics which simulate larger ships. Looks like Armada is the next Fantasy Flight game for me:

So, we are still a few months off from the game's release from the looks of it, but I can say I'm definitely going to jump into this one. Is anyone else planing on getting this game when it hits?

Post by: Ruckdog on April 05, 2015, 11:00:57 am: I got my starter set a few days ago. It is a much bigger box than I thought it would be! I'm still going through the rules, but it seems pretty interesting so far. I will put together a more detailed unboxing post with pics up on the blog in a day or two.
