Fantasy Flight Games: Board your Star Destroyer as Star Wars Armada is Coming!


Fantasy Flight Games: The Star Destroyers are on their way. Star Wars™: Armada is coming! Imperial Star Destroyers and TIE squadrons go head to head with Rebel corvettes, frigates, and X-wings in this epic miniatures game of tactical fleet battles.

In our first previews, we’ve seen how Armada clearly differentiates its massive and explosive battles from the sort of lethal, fast-paced skirmishes waged between fighter squadrons. We explored the ways that the game’s command stacks add personality to the game’s different ships and force you to plan for the future. Then, we took a closer look at how your capital ships can attack your enemies, and we identified the different defenses they can use against incoming fire. 


Today, we look at how your ships make use of the game’s unique maneuver tool and how they interact with obstacles. We’ll also address some of the tactical implications that follow. Pre-order your game now over at Wayland Games here and get your discounted version in the first release wave!

All those special, game-specific, gadgets and cards.

Thanks for stopping by and taking your time for commenting, true but in my opinion their worst decision is to release this game in another scale than their hugely popular x-wings game.

This was needed to be able to field the huge destroyers but never the less a shame as the models of the two games couldn't be used together.

Still tempted though, but will probably manage to wait a bit and first of all read some online reviews.
