  • Gencon 2020

    Its that time again, and registration for the 2020 Gencon Convention in Indianapolis is coming up. Badge sales open January 26, and our gaming group (Huber Tabletop) is planning on attending for our second year. Not sure yet of our total numbers, but I do know of at least 5 going thus far. Fortunately we…

  • Super Star Destroyer

    I have waited a long time, but I finally managed to get my copy of the Star Wars: Armada scale Super Star Destroyer. A limited edition model, it completely dwarfs anything else on the board. Pictured for scale is the prior giant, the Imperial Star Destroyer, and a tiny little X-Wing squadron, and my backdrop…

  • Star Wars: Armada – the fleets

    During our last game, both sides experimented with some new fleet options, to mixed success.  Listed here is the compositions we both used, and any notes we found. Rebel Fleet (399 points) (Fab’s Fleet Generator) MC80 Assault Cruiser – Defiance, General Dodonna, Reinforced Blast Doors, Enhanced Armament MC80 Star Cruiser – Gunnery Team Nebulon-B Support…

  • Star Wars: Armada – Precision Strike

    During this last Sunday, we finally were able to fit in another game of Armada, between myself (Rebels) and my son (Imperials).  Mission selected was Precision Strike.  My plan had been to video tape the entire session, and then edit the game together later on.  Unfortunately, I had some technical problems – first I had…

  • Squadron plates

    During our Armada game this last weekend, had a chance to put to good use the Squadron plates I designed.  Imperials were flying several TIE fighter squadrons and Dengar, and the Rebels had a pair of X-Wings and Rogue Squadron.  The plates worked well, and kept things organized during the rather complex game. Admittedly the…

  • Armada Scenery

    Finally sat down to finish up the 3d scenery for Armada, in preparation for playing the game.  The asteroids turned out pretty decent, a bit of hot glue attaching them to the support poles worked fairly well.  For the nebulas, I used a cotton ball stretched (and glued) between two support poles.  The space station…

  • Have 3d Printer, will print

    Continuing my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces.  Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece.  What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

  • Space Stations (updated)

    Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set.  Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good.  Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison.  Note that the base of the station…
