Title: Star Wars Armada Wave 2 is Here!
Post by: Ruckdog on December 01, 2015, 11:56:28 am
After months of delays, the second wave of Star Wars Armada is finally shipping! I got my stuff yesterday. As soon as I can get it out of the box, I'll post some pictures and impressions on the blog.

I probably won't get into this game, but the models do look pretty good. I especially like Home I. I feel like a lot of the capital ships in Star Wars get overshadowed by the Star Destroyers...I tend to forget there were other ships in the movies.

Trying to resist this stuff myself, but we all know what resistance is...

I'm pretty sure my Empire will be out in force Sunday at E and E.

Any word on a Wave 3?  Maybe Spartan has spoiled me, but I'd really want to see more variety in the fleets before buying in.  Maybe a Clone Wars expansion?

No word  yet on Wave 3, unfortunately. I've seen a lot of speculation, but my money is that it will either be Episode VII stuff, Star Wars Rebels stuff, or a mix of the two. For some reason, FFG seems to be dead-set against doing Prequel stuff for their SW games.

Probably to avoid association with the previous game, which had a lot of the prequel ships.  Pity though, since they're really limited with just what's seen in episodes 4-7.
