Star Wars: Armada – the fleets
During our last game, both sides experimented with some new fleet options, to mixed success. Listed here is the compositions we both used, and any notes we found. Rebel Fleet (399 points) (Fab’s Fleet Generator) MC80 Assault Cruiser – Defiance, General Dodonna, Reinforced Blast Doors, Enhanced Armament MC80 Star Cruiser – Gunnery Team Nebulon-B Support…

Star Wars: Armada – Precision Strike
During this last Sunday, we finally were able to fit in another game of Armada, between myself (Rebels) and my son (Imperials). Mission selected was Precision Strike. My plan had been to video tape the entire session, and then edit the game together later on. Unfortunately, I had some technical problems – first I had…

Squadron plates
During our Armada game this last weekend, had a chance to put to good use the Squadron plates I designed. Imperials were flying several TIE fighter squadrons and Dengar, and the Rebels had a pair of X-Wings and Rogue Squadron. The plates worked well, and kept things organized during the rather complex game. Admittedly the…

Armada Scenery
Finally sat down to finish up the 3d scenery for Armada, in preparation for playing the game. The asteroids turned out pretty decent, a bit of hot glue attaching them to the support poles worked fairly well. For the nebulas, I used a cotton ball stretched (and glued) between two support poles. The space station…

Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece. What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

Space Stations (updated)
Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set. Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good. Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison. Note that the base of the station…

Asteroids
Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces. In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones. May or may not paint…

Space Stations
I have been working on trying to enhance the materials for Star Wars: Armada, and have been focused recently on the scenery pieces – the space station and asteroid markers. With the game, these are simple cardboard pieces, which work, but are not as nice as the full 3d ships and squadrons. There was a…
