MBS Podcast Episode 85: Taking Another Look at Star Wars Armada
« on: September 17, 2023, 05:45:21 pm »


For Episode 85, Andy is joined by a new co-host, Chris. Chris is Andy’s local “partner in crime” when it comes to the game that is the focus of this episode: Star Wars Armada. After years of collecting but not playing, Andy has been playing a lot of Star Wars Armada over the last year, and a lot of those games have been with Chris! The two of them touch on the changes that have happened to the game and its support over the last few years, and prognosticate on the game’s future.

Good discussion, and I think something that cannot be overstated is the pre-painted nature of Armada.  The number of ship purchases that were not for the game but for display purposes only by general fans was not anything to be discounted for both Armada and X-Wing, so I could see the line continuing to be distributed and stocked for years to come even if no additional game supports are ever developed by AMG.
If my wife asks, I only spent half as much as I wanted to...
