  • Star Wars Armada – Fleet Ambush

    Finished the video for the latest Armada game, with a bit of scheduling difficulty.  500 points of Rebel vs Empire in a Fleet Ambush mission (Rebel’s being ambushed).  Video is up on YouTube already. As before, if you like the video, please click Like.  And if you are interested in more, please click that Subscribe…

  • Star Wars Armada – Capture the VIP

    Another round of Star Wars: Armada, facing off the Rebels and Imperials again.  Mission of choice this time was Rescue the VIP, which ended up not being a big factor in the victory, though it certainly influenced initial tactics.

  • Expanded Armada Fleets

    I continue to slowly expand my Star Wars Armada collection, adding a single set of each of the various ships at a slow but steady pace.  Since I need to outfit both Rebels and Empire, I try to keep both sides roughly equal by adding equivalent ships each time. This most recent adds are the…

  • No Armada this week

    Unfortunately, there is not going to be a new Star Wars Armada battle report this week, my son is off with the Boy Scouts enjoying some river rafting.  Instead, my hope is to work on version 2 of the pencil box, this time with some quality wood (thinking Mahogany).  Still pondering how I would do…

  • Back from Toledo

    Finally back from my regular travel schedule again, this time for more than just the weekend.  As part of my work, I routinely travel to Toledo, which although it is a nice enough city, is not home with the family.  It also makes it difficult to work on my various projects and activities.  Hopefully this…

  • Star Wars Armada – Base Defense Fighter Wing

    The recent Armada game was a good chance to attempt to video and record the game, for posting on YouTube.  It was played as a straight forward 2v2 game, using our typical random mission (Base Defense Fighter Wing).  Both sides started very evenly, and the game ended up very close, with a couple of solid…
