Armada is a lot of fun but as everyone else points out: the conclusion is typically known by turn 2 of a 6 turn game.

Are you guys playing Armada with huge skill gaps between players or something? The vast majority of my games are never decided by turn 2 and its only ever a slog if both fleets are running huge squad balls.

Its a bit of hyperbole, but the tournament rules for Armada stipulate 120 minute best of one games.
It's not a quick game, and not designed to be.

hey folks, is yasb.app up to date with recent points-changes? it says last updated 2022, and while i assume they mean the code-base, the points i'm seeing on a quick glance through look the same as they were like a year ago.

yasb is up to date with the current points/ships. They just recently added all the Battle over Endor ships now that they're all revealed and we have points for them

How am I supposed to get the squad builder app? It isn’t on ios app store.

Edit: am I supposed to use this Launch Bay app instead?

Tried out some of the Battle over Endor Rebels yesterday, they're really fun. Side bombs from the b-wings are a highlight.

I played the first day of worlds yesterday, went 2-3 so I didn't make the day 2 cut but it was still a fun time. 300+ people which is pretty good for these fallen days of ours. I flew the list I posted above and handled the two Empire lists I faced but couldn't do enough against Rebel/Resistance.

The only participation prize was an SL Soontir card with a "World Championshp" (sic) stamp on the back. Two kinds of dice (sparkly and swirly), alt arts, table bumpers, etc on the prize wall.

Sounds like there are plans for qualifiers this year so I expect 2025 to happen even if there doesn't end up being much/any new stuff on the development front.
