Two hundred dollars out the door. That was a steal! I really want to try X-Wing but if I have to pick one, this is right up my alley. Very reminiscent of Sins of a Solar Empire, one of my favorite 4X PC games.

Thank you for the shout Jim! It's a good question. We definitely dig Armada and still sell it and run events for it in our store, but we view it as a casual, "take an afternoon" kind of game. It is not a particularly exciting spectator game, so we chose not to focus on Armada video content. We did give it a shot once with Worlds last year if you want to check that out. No plans currently to increase content - we are happy with where it is!

Good video. The camera work is a bit shaky, but the more important audio was clear, which was a weakpoint in other demos with otherwise more snazzy presentation. I would have liked to see more ship/squadron interactions, but that is to be expected when your opponent was apparently if not a recipient, then certainly a past nominee for biggest douche in the universe.

That's fair, although it was quite annoying how he kept either ignoring the developer's instructions to fiddle with random board elements, or interrupting him to ask questions about another game system. Not everyone interested in this game plays X-Wing, so his questions only served to add misinformation and confusion. We can infer there are no defense dice, when you AREN'T TOLD TO ROLL ANY DICE. Overall, he seemed more focused on "winning" a demo battle than displaying model interactions. The shirt one size too small and man-purse doesn't help his image either. I stand by my comment.
@brandona7318

Withershadow Except for many people watching this video do in fact play X-Wing as ***** has been a major supporter of all of the FFG products for several years now. The gentleman who asked about defense dice actually clarified a great deal of confusion for me, personally, as I was wondering how defense on this game worked. It is a dramatic shift from X-Wing, which relies on evasion and then shields as a secondary defense, to Armada, where shield management seems to be prominent. I was left wondering whether or not the fighters had defense dice, or if it was just the capital ships that lacked them. The gentleman that you are using a red herring argument to critique was attempting to connect knowledge of this game system to other game systems that people might be familiar with, which is actually an excellent technique to educate people on a system. This technique is employed by teachers across the country, as they draw connections to other items in someone's life that might be relevant to the topic being covered. If that connection did nothing for you, try to take a step back and realize that it may have helped someone else. Though I have never met any of them, I have followed their videos for several years, and the Team Covenant people seem to be kind and generous people that are interested in showing everyone how fun these games can be, and the gaming community does not need toxic people such as yourself. The tragedy here is that your critique started as an intelligent and meaningful critique of the camera work and descended into 7th grade bullying, I humbly suggest that the only person here who needs to clean up his or her image is you.

X-Wing is a fast-paced skirmish game. Armada is slower, will likely be a bit more casual due to the amount of time it takes, and has you in more of a strategic (long term) position instead of a tactical (short term) position. The choice is yours!

Daiki Ochoa X-Wing is a separate game with a separate development team, release schedule, etc. It's best to imagine them as two entirely different things. X-Wing will still be supported and produced as would be expected regardless of Armada. We're uncertain whether Armada is as incredible a game as X-Wing, given that we have only played a demo, but given FFG's track record at this point it likely will be.

For example, you can tell when they are playing the game, what a pain it is to flip your tab, or reduce your shields without bumping other things on that table. Just my curmudgeony two cents.

Simon Dixon We really do appreciate the feedback! When we first get to GenCon, we're trying to catch as much as we can as fast as we can, and upload it immediately so you guys can see it! That means we forego much of the editing and double camera process that we usually employ. We also find it important to get close to the peripherals that are being discussed so that everyone can stay in the loop during the demo. And if nothing else, can pause the screen to get a good look at the cards and dials. That does make it a little out of focus at times, and it means you see all of the zooming in/out. We'll keep doing our best to make these GenCon videos better and better each year.
