    With the recent Labor Day holiday in the US, I had the chance to revisit a favorite game with my son and play some more Armada. In truth, it was originally planned to be a game or two of X-Wing 2, but during assembly we discovered that several of the key pieces have gone missing.…

    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.

    Its been a while since I have played, though I continue to collect and gather the pieces.  In theory, we might be able to fit a game in this weekend – one of our gaming group players has been asking to play again and seems rather eager.  Of course, that means I have to find…

    I continue to slowly expand my Star Wars Armada collection, adding a single set of each of the various ships at a slow but steady pace.  Since I need to outfit both Rebels and Empire, I try to keep both sides roughly equal by adding equivalent ships each time. This most recent adds are the…

    In partnership with the Rebel Fleet, I prepared a similar fleet list for the Empire.  Same parameters – make it easy (no upgrades), and make it relatively easy to split between two players for a 2v2 game.  And limit the options to ship and squadron I currently have available.  The end result is as follows:…
