Preparing for Nordics 2019

Getting back on track after Euros in Krakow, its time to take out a list for Nordics, the tournament that the rest of the (US) Armada community, knows the least about.

Even though the distance is so short (spoiler: its not) from Norway to Iceland, I doubt we will see any players from Iceland in Denmark

Denmark, while being known for their Beer, their love for Elfsborgs Fortification outside Gothenburg during the 1600-1800 and generally enjoying life, have from what I have heard many good players.

The typical Dane.

This year Nordics is hosted in Denmark, Helsingör. This is super nice, as I have high hopes of there being beer at or close the event :)

But before there can be beer and Armada, there must be a list...

Rebellion in the Rim: Upgrade cards

Someone over at Echo Base posted spoliers for the upcoming Rebellion in the Rim Campaign and a big thank you to Mike Doench over there is in order. During the time of writing this, Cannotgetyourshipout Armada blog posted better pictures. These I re posted are good enough and perfectly readable so I wont change them at this time. The waiting has been long but it is soon coming to an end! This expansion holds more promise of rearranging the meta than the Wave 8 ships!

I want to take a nosedive right into the cards and try to prophecies if they will be of use or wasted points. So much fun things will happen with the game when this expansion comes out!

Sorry, I couldnt find a better pic to put here, so have Vader with a dove...

New Ships! Part 2

New Ships and Cards: The Empire edition

And so we arrive at the Imperials new Ship. The Onager, and the commander that follows with it, General Romodi.

I only smile when I shoot something behind something

New Ships! Part 1

New Ships and Cards: Rebel Edition

It finally happened. Over a year of waiting and new ships are finally announced!

I am just has happy as these people.

After a long time of silence from FFG with news and announcements for the game, FFG revealed during GenCon 2019 two new ships. The Nadiri Starhawk and the Onager Stardestroyer, both completely unfamilliar to me...

This post will deal with the Starhawk and the Onager will get its own post in due time.

Ackbar Double "Dragon" V2: Changes to the list

After another round of testing this list, some things needed improvement. I like many things with it since the objective suite fits Ackbar very well. The lack of squadrons don't matter as much when there is strategic squads that can do some nasty things.
