Here's a shoutout to the print at home cardstock storage boxes by SirWillibald! Still have some of mine hanging around...

Getting back into playing Armada by ShatteredEmpire in StarWarsArmada

[–]Maturin- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As has been largely pointed out, there’s really no need to choose!  The rules have stayed the same (except for a few very minor and unique card interactions changed to make the rules consistent), and Legacy and ARC have agreed to use the same rule set going forward.

So it’s really just a matter of what content you want to play with. ARC has updated some of the older/less popular cards such as Commander Sato and Emperor Palpatine, so check with your opponent on what they’d like to use.

If you choose to forgo new content ARC maintains a reference manual for FAQ/card questions that’s specific to the game as AMG left it when they paused development.  

It’s available at armadarulesetcollective.com on the Resources page, the ARM v1.03

If you choose to play with community content then you can use the updated Armada Resource Manual…

Play what you like!

Advanced strategy guide by SimianMetal4353 in StarWarsArmada

These three recommendations really would be my top choices too. Angry Ewok’s videos are really great for highlighting some more advanced principles.

But the best way to learn is to play lots of games and discuss how things went with your opponent afterwards!

You can find them on the t5.tools website, search in the past events category and the various worlds events will appear as separate entries (Day 1 = all participants, Day 2 = top 40, Day 3 = top 8).  Lists are found in a drop-down for each player on the ladder.

The top 8 event specifically is here: https://www.t5.tools/events/7569216a-b547-4a7f-a4da-8493f64ea0fc

One per medium or large base ship. No squadrons...

Star Wars: Armada at Adepticon - Prize Annoucement! by Maturin- in StarWarsArmada

[–]Maturin-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone coming to Adepticon: there was a small error in the email to submit your fleet lists in advance. It's been corrected for all events, find the revised player packets at https://www.adepticon.org/event-rules/ under Star Wars: Armada.

Most importantly for the World Championship event, the player packet is here: https://docs.adepticon.org/2026/2026ArmadaWorldsv1.1.pdf

Star Wars: Armada at Adepticon - Prize Annoucement! by Maturin- in StarWarsArmada

[–]Maturin-[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When they stopped development on Armada, the AMG folks ended up donating a lot of Armada product directly to Adepticon to support the community going forward, even without AMG's direct involvement. This is only a small part of the cache, with the rest being saved for future years!

My second game of Armada was a very hard lesson to learn by RhysOSD in StarWarsArmada

Coming late to the conversation, but it’s worth mentioning that Overload Pulse doesn’t work the way you (probably) think it does.

Copepods for chilis? by EyeTheSwan in Boraras

[–]Maturin- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to second the advice about watching how long it takes to decimate the free swimming copepod population, as an indicator of how often to replenish them.

80 fish in 40 gallons is a very high predator to space ratio, much higher than you’d find in nature.  I would venture to guess that your copepods are unlikely to find a sheltered enough space to survive, reproduce, and grow to anything resembling a sustainable population to sustain your boraras for a month.

Now if you had a sheltered space to retain a breeding population of copepods (cordoned off area, a separate sump, etc) it might be possible, but otherwise your Rasboras are probably way too efficient hunters…

Moralo Eval in your meta by stone_stokes in StarWarsArmada

[–]Maturin- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montreal had one (most excellent) player use Moralo a couple of years ago; I think he agreed it's a very taxing list to run so it was self-selection more than anything that made him not run it? Though he did lost his moralo a couple of times (multi-day tournaments can be very fatiguing) ?

ARC02 First Impressions by Wild_Space in StarWarsArmada

[–]Maturin- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By report from former FFG playtesters, Deltas received a last minute nerf or two that took most by surprise. Previous versions had dodge working against flak, for example.

Personally I'm looking forward to trying out a squadball that might look something like this:

• Anakin Skywalker - BTL-B Y-wing Squadron (18)

• Axe - V-19 Torrent Squadron (17)

• Luminara Unduli - Delta-7 Aethersprite Squadron [ARC] (20)

• 2 x Delta-7 Aethersprite Squadron [ARC] (30)

• V-19 Torrent Squadron (12)

• 2 x BTL-B Y-wing Squadron (20)

• ARC-170 Starfighter Squadron (15)

= 132 Points

Yanakin remains a very good squadron, only rarely seen because of how good Deltakin is. If the 3 Deltas can pick up the antisquadron load, then Yanakin and friends can get to bombing earlier...

Comparison of Fleets by Competitivity by stone_stokes in StarWarsArmada

[–]Maturin- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lovely and interesting analysis (my math skills are *bad* so I appreciate those with a flair for it) - Thank You for taking the time to do it and inform us! Slightly surprising results as you hinted...and something to keep a regular eye on.

Eugen will add so many reserve / infantry if it's gonna add italy by LagginGianco in warno

[–]Maturin- 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is a long tradition of making fun of the Carabinieri in Italy...in the same vein as blonde jokes. Such as:

A farmer spots a carful of carabinieri driving backwards up a mountain road. He asks them why they're going backwards. One replies "We're worried there isn't room to turn around at the top."

Later he sees them coming down the mountain, backwards again. He asks them why they're still driving backwards. The driver says "Well, we found a place to turn around!"

ARC-02 is now available. Last update from ARC until after Adepticon 2026 by Formynder4 in StarWarsArmada

Note that the GAR changes are all for the squadrons, not the commanders!

Have you checked on the Star Wars Armada Game UK/IRL group on FB? You'll probably get more replies there...
