Spaceships Are Not Supposed To Be This Close Together Part XIV

 Armada Edition!



I finally got to try Star Wars Armada recently and really enjoyed playing the game.  Much more of a strategic game than the X-wing Miniatures game, Armada gives you a fleet of Star Wars ships to control.  If you have ever wanted to send your squadrons of Tie Fighters to deal with those pesky rebel X-wings or if you have always been dreaming of leading your daring rebel Y-wings on a bombing run versus a Star Destroyer than this is the game for you.  It has an interesting mechanic for the larger capital ships: the bigger the ship, the more turns in advance you have to plan out your orders that determine how the ship will move each turn.  I think my favorite part was having large "armies" (fleets) to play with rather than the small scale dogfights of X-wing.  Thanks for reading and stay safe out there.
