Space Naval Games / Played in a SW Armada Tournament!

« Last post by Ruckdog on January 22, 2024, 05:31:15 pm »

Played in a local SW armada tournament yesterday! Just 4 of us, so 3 rounds was perfect to get a chance to play everyone in else. There were two Rebel players, including me, and two imperial players. First game was a bad loss, second game was a solid win, and third game was a narrow loss. So, a 1-2 record, good enough for 3rd lol. Here are some pics!

Game 1


Game 2


Game 3

I totally jumped on this one! It's very interesting that the pledge also includes resale authorization; I might end up printing some of these to sell on the MBS Etsy store!

North American fulfillment is in process now, but included in that last campaign update were details on the current errata compilation and clarified versions of the rules that should be available in pdfs shortly.  Beyond that, they are going to have a process to request a reprinted book after final reviews and the conclusion of the Kickstarter... have not seen that before and I am pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the heads up!  It looks like they have made it through most of the stretch goals now.

Hi all,

   This kickstarter just launched today (Jan 9, 2024).  Quite a few pieces that would go potentially with D-Wars, Armada, and other age of sail games.  I'm not affiliated, just a backer.

News and Rumors / Halo returns

« Last post by Kelly on January 05, 2024, 03:20:06 pm »

Mantic has the rights from 343 Industries to produce a new Halo game with previews coming up in March, which I assume means Adepticon...
https://www.manticgames.com/news/on-the-12th-day-of-xmas-special-announcement/

My predictions are...
1.  Larger scale miniatures ground skirmish, not compatible with Spartan's HGC...

2.  No Vault support due to license control... (please prove me wrong Mantic)

3.  And no HFB replacement, until at least 2025...

...anyone else's hopes and dreams?

Ooof! Hopefully there won't be more delay than that. I might have to look at what the want for one of those dented copies. I was interested in this project but never got around to backing it.
