Enjoy our very first game using the fleets included in the basic boxed set.
Here is our unboxing of the the game:
Star Wars ARMADA: $99.95
Here is a bit of FFG’s Announcement:
The time to attack has come. Your fleet awaits your command. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. Star Wars™: Armada is now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore!
The two-player miniatures game of epic Star Wars space battles, Armada places you and your opponent in command of rival fleets. Massive war machines and crews of thousands await your commands. You assemble a fleet of capital ships and starfighter squadrons, then upgrade it with elite pilots, crew members, and advanced weaponry. You select your objective. Then you head to battle…
…Open the box, assemble your ships, build your fleet, and head to war. The Armada Core Set is your key to the galaxy’s greatest space battles. More than starships, squadrons, and cards, it comes with action and drama. It offers you the opportunity to recreate and relive your favorite Star Wars space battles. If you’re interested, it’s your ticket to the game’s Organized Play program, it’s the foundation of a fleet that you can grow with the game’s different expansions, and it’s worth untold hours of enjoyment.

“We find the game to have that magic blend of easy to pick up rules, deep skill-based gameplay and tactical depth, fantastic models, plus an unbeatable setting. BoLS predicted that ARMADA could be the breakout game of 2015 and we stand by our initial feelings.” We can’t wait to see how this game fills out with future expansions.”
We give Armada our highest recommendation – it IS that good.
5 Stars (out of 5)
P.S. It’s a Victory Class Star Destroyer included in the box set, not a Super Star Destroyer as the narrator describes. Our bad.
