InfestedKerrigan Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 A buddy in my gaming group expressed interest in playing armada. He came over yesterday after work and we played the learning mission. He won pts victory turn 6, but we played it out as he didn't have time for a second game, and I barely won with my VSD with no shields and 1 health left, and his xwing with almost full health. We are playing again on Friday, 400 pt game using my inventory for building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmitty Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Nice. There is a pretty solid Armada community in the area. I am actually hoping to run an Armada event at the OFCC next summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I'm down for some post 40k pickup games if I make it up. Not sure about event play. It's a very whiskey and weed game for me. I think "beer and pretzel" is an appropriate descriptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 At the moment, I have 991 pts of rebel ships and 763 of imperial. This does not include upgrades, crew, etc. Tomorrow's 400 pt game should be fun. A lot of options for him to choose from for the Rebels. My list, however, will lack a bit of imagination. Basically, do I want to run the ISD, or not, and how many TIEs do I sacrifice for upgrades and Bounty Hunters? I'm hoping after this game I can talk my buddy into giving 600 a try.

InfestedKerrigan Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Game delayed; work. We did toss around higher points, he's down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Imperial Fighter Squadrons have been bolstered via 2 blisters. I was torn between them and a couple small based ships for the Imps, but the TIE Squadrons won out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Imperial Light Carrier picked up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Played vs buddy. I ran an ISD 2, and the light carrier, 4 bombers and 4 advances, and Fett. He ran assault frigate, mc30, and 2 or 3 corvettes, and xwings for the rest. He won the points bid, and had me go first. Objective had me deploying everything before he did and gave victory points to rear hull damage. I clumped everything on the left of my field, positioned to advance for a couple turns and then sweep through the astroid and debris fields en route to the space station to heal of needed. He split his force, half across from me and half in the middle of the board to trap me in the debris fields. First turn we both advanced, him focused on my guys. I started positioning to force his mid board force to come through the debris or take the long way home. Second turn saw some early shots exchanged. End of third saw all his fighters gone, the assault frigate and corvette with 0 shields left, the ISD positioned to unload on the two ships, and my bombers setup to take out a ship from its rear arc for VP. He conceded rather than playing it out as the rest of our gaming group had started arriving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Picked up the Chimera expansion. Some neat stuff in it. Stoked it came with 3 copies each of the refit ISDs. Also, excited it comes with 2 squadrons of the mini Destroyers. I picked up a couple things for the Pinkertons, as well, but those are for a different thread.

shmitty Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Really happy with both the Chimera and Profundity. Great models and some nice additions to the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I need to pick up some Rebel fighters to bring balance to the force, then I plan on picking up Profundity and the Corellian Conflict. I know we will have fun playing the Campaign. He's a DnD guy, and former military, he likes structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I feel like buddy hasn't wanted to play, because I had told him we should play a few games without upgrades so he could get used to playing (read:maneuvering), but he insisted and we haven't played since. From what I'm picking up, he's not used to losing, I think. He's the rules lawyer in the group, former army, likes to do things right, etc. Don't get me wrong, not suggesting he is WAAC or a munchkin or anything; rather, he is used to being the most aware and capable member in the group. I am hopeful this dnd campaign we are starting will help loosen him back up, cuz I want to play some Armada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
