Happy Friday folks! It's been a while since I've done one of these.
I hope you all are doing well!
Question of the week: when did you start playing Armada, and where are most of your games played?
I started in 2014, and mostly play Vassal owing to a lack of IRL players nearby.
For me it was 2018 my brother introduced me into it and I was hooked. He doesnt play anymore as he is invested in too many other games to play.
My intro game was in 2016, got into Corellian Conflict in 2017 and then was hooked from there. I play most games on Vassal now but would like to play again IRL. Right now most people I know who play all have small babies (including me) and it makes it harder to schedule games (even though we live very close to each other).
I think I started back in about 2017 too. Basically i had travel with work so bought X wing as it was cheaper prior. Played with a friend who was happy playing it until after about 15 losses on my part I beat him with a scum list, followed by taking out his top ace with a Tie bomber list next game, so he basically conceded and that was the end of X wing lol. Decided to go all in then on Armada. My first tournament was with a Dodonna double MC30 list. It’s the year the GR75 alt art card was given out. I played two games and lost the first one ( I destroy a tie, he destroyed an x wing, we where both that cagey as it was our first tourney for both of us). Second game got thrashed but I think I scored more points and may have actually destroyed a ship! Haven’t had a game apart from with my son since the pandemic started. Was hoping to go into YYC this weekend but both kids are in hockey playoffs, home game Saturday and away Sunday. Oh well, until hockey finishes then lol…..I did put up a Trench/Kenobi batrep a few weeks ago. Next game I may dabble with imps, as I have a cunning Screed ISD list…….
I started in... 2017 I think?
Pretty funny story actually. I did already play X-wing a bit and had seen Armada in the stores. But I weren't particularly interested.
Then one of my co-workers bought it for his son and asked me to read and explain the rules. And it looked interesting enough for me to buy it when I saw it on sale for 30% off. 😀
Don’t get to play much, most often at home. 😞
When did the game release? That is when I started. I mostly play at my FLGS, with an occasional foray into some one else's FLGS. Now if I only had more time to play, and said time overlapping others available times.
