Product Information

For any one wondering, the official documents and reference materials are still hosted by FFG and not AMG. There is a forum thread hosted by AMG with corrections/modifications, but all the official PDFs are still those originally produced by FFG. In a previous article, I explained what Star Wars: Armada is all about. In case you missed it, the short version is: Are you fond of Star Wars? Does the thought of commanding capital ships and their supporting squadrons appeal to you? Do you have an officer’s outlook and think that tromping around in the mud is beneath you? If you answered yes to two of those questions, then Star Wars: Armada might be your thing. On April 6, 2015 Wave 2 was announced, introducing irregular fighter squadrons and four new ships: Raider -class Corvette, Imperial -class Star Destroyer, MC30c Frigate, and MC80 Home One, adding the first ships on " large" bases for both factions.

The ‘clumsy’ and ‘stupid’ Admiral Ozzel allows you to make an aggressive first-round movement with one of your ships. Absolutely vital on Onager builds designed to fire in the first round of combat, and useful on ships that tend to lag behind. His ability is single-use and triggers at the beginning of the game. Between choking him and Needa with Vader (Officer), you’re basically just re-creating the Star Wars canon through normal gameplay. That’s called good game design.Hallo Star Wars Fan! Seit 2016 betreue ich dieses Nachschlagewerk für Armada-Spieler. Nach vier Jahren wird es Zeit, das auch in meiner Muttersprache zu tun. Über Deine Mithilfe würde ich mich sehr freuen! Publisher's Description [ ] On August 1, 2018 The Super Star Destroyer Expansion was announced for Q1 2019. It will add a new size class and ruleset for epic gameplay. I have not played Armada since the before times, my last game was late 2019. For the sake of returning and new players, recent contention about commander Anakin Skywalker from Rapid Reinforcements II aside: On August 5, 2016 Wave 5 was announced, introducing the Modified Pelta-class Corvette, the Imperial Light Cruiser, and more imperial and rebel squadrons.

Again Anakin aside, what is the general consensus around the rest of the Rapid Reinforcements content? As one of the most prominent ships in the Separatist Navy, the Providence-class Dreadnought often leads Separatist fleets into battle and 14 upgrade cards give you the freedom to outfit it for battle. Among them is the Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army himself, On April 13, 2019 at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago FFG announced the arrival of Clone Wars aera ships for Armada. They confirmed that the Republic and the Separatists will come as separate factions to the game. The release is awaited for the end of 2020. There are so many languages spoken throughout the galaxy! The wiki provides its info in basic. But in May 2020 I started the enterprise to give valuable insights for the German speaking part of the galaxy! But this didn‘t get very far. Hey, it’s Summer and I get to talk about my favourite faction today. Great stuff. Schwerpunkt – “Threats of insurrection must be met with strong, centralized power.”Even though Armada is a game of capital ships and starfighter squadrons – with battles on a scale large enough to alter the fate of the galaxy – their outcomes still hinge upon you and your decisions. If you wish to emerge victorious, the first thing you’ll need to do is learn how your ships function in battle. Capital ships aren’t nimble like starfighters. In fact, the larger and more powerful your ships, the more time they take to respond to your commands. You can’t react instantly to threats as they arise. You have to plan for the future. The Galactic Civil War [ ] Core Set Task Force: 200pt fleets, 3' x 3' play area, following fleet building rules, with recommended objective exclusions.

Star Wars: Armada features four factions. Your faction determines the ship roster, commanders and faction-specific upgrades available to you. There are also plenty of generic upgrades and even some multi-faction upgrades to shake things up. As with other games, if you have a stark favourite faction, it’s a good idea to just go with them. Your collection will spend most of its life not being actively played and if it brings you joy to display, you’ve already made it. If you’re unsure, I’ll summarise them below. Keep your eyes out for more comprehensive Faction Focus articles on Armada as well. Galactic Civil War Era Imperial commanders are a versatile lot, with abilities including fleet command generation, squadron expertise, dice control and damage output. Players are spoiled with a spread of commanders who can slot into a variety of fleets, without few hard limitations to ship sizes. Their commanders are far from one-size-fits-all, and even their ‘generalist’ commanders like Admiral Ozzel carry subtleties that must be built around. That won’t be a problem, since the Empire benefits from an outstanding selection of officers and ships with ample Weapon Team and Offensive Retrofit slots. All the ingredients you need to… intensify forward firepower. After hints in an interview with 2018 World Champion Nathan Coda, FFG officially states that players " will have to wait a little longer" for the Super Star Destroyer. It will be delayed until Q3 (August-October) 2019.On July 22, 2016 The Corellian Conflict was announced, adding the first playable campaign to the game and new aces and unique squadrons for each of the fighter squadrons in the game.

Separatist fleets sweep across the galaxy like an unstoppable machine, brushing aside any resistance. The only thing standing between them and total galactic domination is the Republic Navy. To defeat this foe, Separatist leaders add to their arsenal with new technological monstrosities that will ensure victory in the Clone Wars. Welcome to Star Wars: Armada Miniatures Wiki. This wiki is strictly for this miniatures game and the discussion of strategies with minimal lore. Feel free to contribute (and edit). On June 26, 2017 FAQ 3.2.1 changes the wording for the upgrade cards " Bomber Command Center", "• Demolisher", "• General Rieekan", " Turbolaser Reroute Circuits", and for the squadron card "• Major Rhymer TIE Bomber Squadron".

Although poorly named, the light carrier is a unique ship in Armada. It is the game’s only purpose-designed carrier and its release cemented the Empire’s reputation as a leader in naval aviation. Despite having no notable durability or anti-ship firepower, it is the core of most Imperial squadron fleets and there are a lot of those. The strength of this ship lies in the fighter group it commands, and those Imperial fighter groups are capable of anything from bombing runs to objective manipulation. Fit Boosted Comms and Expanded Hangar Bay, then season with an officer and title of choice. Beyond the ship cards themselves, 14 upgrade cards invite you to make your Recusant-class Destroyer even more specialized with additional weapons, titles, and officers such as the Commerce Guild’s On March 28, 2020 FFG revealed the first 4 upgrade cards ( Kraken, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Wat Tambor, and Clone Gunners) from the new Clone Wars content. They seem to be the same size like the squadron cards and not the smaller American mini format. Take your time and give it thought. No matter how things go, I hope to see you on the bridge – and remember to ready that Salvo token. Prospective admirals will be happy to hear that the Galactic Empire’s definitive warship comes in many variants, and is a fleet staple. The ISD or pizza slice is the Empire’s bread-and-butter large warship. Between its four variants, it can perform anything from torpedo assaults to fleet command. Everything the Imperial does, it does with the ruthless determination and grit you’d expect from one of the game’s definitive heavyweights. Realistically, this thing is only hampered by its substantial points cost and Onager infested waters. Veteran players may mourn the devastating nerf to Avenger, but the sun has not set on the original Star Destroyer.
