I've been away from the game for a while: What's with those icons on the right and left side of the cards? The numbers over dial icons?

Finally got one of my friends to pick up the game and of course he did so by buying a Super Star Destroyer. And gently caress that thing is huge.

Of the small/medium ships I sent at it in the first wave, only a single MC-30 made it out alive with a single hull point left. Motherfucking ship is so tough it ate nearly the entire damage deck, and I mainly won only because I got a bunch of extremely lucky crits that crippled his ship and dropped his shields when and where he needed them most, and because the two MC-30 Torpedo frigates I sent at him were able to do a ludicrous amount of damage at close range while he obliterated my smaller ships.

Fun game, awesome model, looking forward to seeing it on the tabletop again.

Has anyone seen one with a light kit installed?

Where I was aramada was completley dead outside five or so very dedicated guys who would show up for OP. And this was like 2018.
It's too bad because I actually liked armada more than x wing (the ships were big enough that I could disassemble them and add LEDs, I had my MKII's painted as killer whales. And then you could just add a million dice to your attack pools.

But it was a nightmare to setup and it really REALLY was not suited for OP.
Thematic story time? Sure. But the OP standard was awful.

God that was such a fun game.

Also on the whole non-Star Wars models for Armada, Mel's miniatures has BSG at least for armada

Now there an IP with only a handful of ships.
But also lol if they made cards for the thirty civilian ships in the floatilla

I want the Ultimate experience where we can resolve Armada Squadron combat via X Wing.

The game takes 10 hours to resolve.

Oh so about an hour shorter than a mission of tie fighter?

Well, this revived the x-wing thread some, so have some terrible homebrew I have found

Those Katana Fleet title upgrades are so dumb

I would rework the six dreadnought title to be moble bomb and just go "wheeeeeeeee" the whole game like an idiot as I try and ram a cr90

I put lights in my ships. The true madness is freezing and carefully disassembling an ISD.

I also posted this in the x wing thread. So please excusethe double post:

Former xwing/armada grinder here, I have a bunch of promos from organized play and I was wondering if I had anything of value or a goon wanted to give them a good home. No 2.x stuff but:
Movie stills, full arts, plastic cards, arubesh, op damage decks, dice bags, card binder medals and coins. Is it worth it to even itemize this stuff?

Is it just me or is the artwork for the next FFG Star Wars CCG really ugly? I much prefer the style they�ve been using for years (or some new more outlandish cartoon look). What they chose instead is suuuuuper bland and cheap.

Somewhere a Hasbro ceo gets real excited and has no idea why
