dkieft Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Unfortunately I feel like this is the result of X-Wing's scale being too big to really showcase the Star Wars Universe of space battles. sure the big ships look great, but they can't go bigger which is what everyone wants. Not saying either game is bad, it's just sorta like this game is "X-Wing 2: You'll need to spend a whole lot of money on this stuff too! (and not be able to use it with what you have)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherSir Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 It bummed me out that it was announced on the same day that I finally caved in and bought my first X-Wing box. Other than that, I'm stoked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Does this mean they intend to discontinue the x-wing game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 That is an odd leap to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Does this mean they intend to discontinue the x-wing game? Not even close. The CEO of FFG even came out and said X-Wing was FFG's highest selling game in their history. Star Wars Armada is just a continuation of that success, they aren't sending their prize horse to the glue farm just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Emerick Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yeah, according to the pie chart at their panel today, X-Wing is currently about 32% of their profits. Its not going anywhere. Especially since they announced Wave 6 today and that Wave also introduced the new Scum & Villainy faction. Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 http://theback40k.blogspot.com/2014/08/star-wars-armada-how-it-plays.html Here's a run down on how Armada plays, keeping in mind that it's still in beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvang Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I saw it played at GenCon, but couldn't get in a demo game myself. It looks great, and plays well. Although it looks similar to X-Wing, it really played differently. For example, you shoot and then move. Your dials are for orders, not necessarily for movement. So, your orders could affect your movement, like allowing you to turn slightly better or move slightly farther, or give orders to your fighters to attack (allowing your fighters to get an extra activation).
