Star Wars Armada: Unconventional Warfare Discussion and Wave 10 Specialty Card Review
Been a while since last episode.
Yeah, we’ve both been busy with work stuff for a while. We’re still around managing our local Armada scene, once we get more time I’ll be putting more bat reps up.
I’m pretty sure when you flak into squadrons you can shoot up to three in your firing arc.
The paint job on those Rebel squadrons are MASTERWORK.
Where did you get your obstacles? They're amazing!
Esty
Lol, first damage card "get fucked" i laughed too hard at that. Something my group says all the time.
*Promosm*
I am really curious about that trench-ventress list you mentioned in this podcast. I would love to see a trench list that is actually worth it
This was the list I was talking about, I’m still on the fence about it’s effectiveness but you can get an idea of how it works. Im going to be trying out more iterations of this list in the future. Name: Trench Testing Fleet Faction: Separatist Commander: Admiral Trench Assault: Rift Assault Defense: Rift Ambush Navigation: Superior Positions Providence Dreadnought (105) • Flight Commander (3) • Flight Controllers (6) • B2 Rocket Troopers (7) • Invisible-hand (9) = 130 Points Hardcell Transport (47) • Admiral Trench (36) • Asajj Ventress (4) • Tikkes (2) • Bomber Command Center (8) = 97 Points Hardcell Transport (47) • Hondo Ohnaka (2) • Slicer Tools (7) = 56 Points Squadrons: • DIS-T81 (17) • 6 x Hyena Droid Bomber Squadron (66) • 4 x Vulture Droid Fighter Squadron (32) = 115 Points Total Points: 398
Great production value!
Thanks! I put a lot of effort into editing the battle reports.
Been a while, but I am here for this. Thanks for bringing Armada back EDIT: Wow, that first Salvation shot *chef's kiss*
Yeah, salvation put in some serious work this game. I was glad it got the crit that prevented it from performing additional attacks or my recusant would have been cooked! Thanks for watching!
I support this message
So many quotes in this podcast, the one I like the best, " Fuck off, and do your job!" Amen brother! You will not find an AMG apologist in my corner! Beyond that, I enjoyed your analysis of the new errata and FAQ and it was VERY interesting hearing the regional differences. Y'all are in Florida if I am not mistaken. I am in Arkansas, but have played extensively against the robust Texas community. There are significant Meta differences in the regions and the reactions to the changes. It never ceases to fascinate me the divergence in play style and strategic mindset based on geographical differences.
I have a way with words that’s for sure lol. I agree that one of the more interesting aspects of armada on a tournament level is the wild differences in play style and strategy you find based on location.
Great list review! What I appreciate most is that you try to think about the purpose of the fleet and remove/adjust its weaknesses to better improve it that way. A lot of list reviews will only focus on what upgrades are generally good or bad which leaves them feeling like flat or useless criticism.
Aamzing paintjobs! Any guides how to get them painted?
Workin' on that. I need to get a better quality camera first. Thanks for watching!
Forgot to heal the Onager from the Station .... :)
No matter how long it takes for you lads to put out content,, its always worth the wait ! Good to see ya !
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
It's great to finally have new video from you. Multiple perspective and high-def/painted ships/squads make amazing video to watch. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! We’re working on more videos but making them takes forever lol
Great video guys, easy to watch, great production value. Few things - you keep forgetting to add your confire dial. ALso, Walex happens when the ship activates, not in "start of the round". Also one funny thing: drawing blinded gunners and on salvo few seconds after that: "I am going to accuracy...." :D ...and that blinded gunner crit somehow magically disappered next round. Also - reroll does nothing against blue dice on sw7 ship. Even if you reroll it to accuracy, it is still a hit (you cant spend it, but all unspent blue accuracies counts as hits)
Thanks for watching! I think you found every error that I noticed while editing this match lol. Forgetting to add the dice for confire is something we just write off as a 'missed trigger' it sucks but remembering to utilize your commands and upgrade card abilities is a part of the game. Walex is a great card, I think his timing for when the ship activates makes him even better. Also, I think the blinded gunner crit was repaired by the gozanti in the very next activation using the repair crews upgrade. But yeah dude, great eye for catching all these slip ups!
Beautifully painted models, very well edited video, music at perfect level, funny name, and great tactics. You guys are great!
Great game but this rapid launch bay build without flight commander hurts my soul.
great game, great content I sub.
Glad you enjoyed the video! More to come!
You guys make up your own rules? Rules for buildings are found in Total Warfare. There is no such thing as light or heavy cover per say. Light woods +1 modifier, Heavy woods +2 modifier. Buildings block line of sight dependning on height. Level 1 height building provides Partial Cover to adjacent mech. Level 2 building blocks line of site completely. Rocks are rough terrain I believe they cost 1 extra movement point to walk through.
Yeah at this point we were only using the rules that came with the beginners box set. We made a quick ruling on the buildings to use the terrain we made. Hope you enjoyed watching, we’re excited to keep diving in to Battletech!
@@BraceForImpact Its a great game! Did you 3d print those buildings? I have some of the same STL files that I have printed.
Yeah they’re 3d printed, nice and quick way of getting some cool terrain on the board
Yeah they’re 3d printed, nice and quick way of getting some cool terrain on the board
I’ve always been interested in battletech/merch warrior and have the steam game you mentioned but yet to power it up. This seems pretty interesting, thanks for showcasing it!
Very nice battlereport, thanks!!!
Thanks for watching! :)
promosm 🌟
Yes
The "Target Movement Modifiers" on the "Attack Modifier Table" should have included "Target Jumped Modifier +1" The rule is in the Quick Start Rules, but they forgot to put it in the tables.
Vindicators gunnery skill was transferable from video game training simulation to the tabletop.
Should the Summa be affected by the gravity rift (slowing it to speed 1)?
Thanks for watching!! I don’t think the Summa is affected by the rift because it is an obstacle not a ship
@@BraceForImpact yeah, I agree. I see the rules say the Summa isn’t affected by obstacle effects.
Do you happen to know the full SSD list from ur local game a little back? Noticed it had an Arq w/ PE + HOJ. Pics didnt show SSD upgrades
Ah I remember that match but not the exact upgrades for the SSD. I know the commander was Jerjerrod but I can't remember any other upgrades.
Ah OK. No worries. I'm also curious how it went for you flying against it. It's similar to a list I use and always open to ideas for tweaks.
@@michaellyssy The SSD can be super versatile, and you can vary its upgrades to suit your local meta. We do list reviews on the podcast, if you want, you can send the list and we can give is a look
I love your fighters. Are those painted and/or have decals?
Thanks! The fighters are hand painted
Great batrep! I don’t think you flip the summa token when moving it. It is weird because one player is notching the edge closest to them, but this is also why they fixed the speed at 2 with a click at 1 - no overlap issues when notching from the close edge (ie the ‘back’).
I’m pretty sure we did it correctly, I checked the rules forum for this and it says that the summa verminoth movement token is flipped when performing a backwards maneuver. forums.atomicmassgames.com/topic/8136-summa-verminoth-movement-backwards/
@@BraceForImpactI hadn’t seen the FAQ - thanks! I didn’t expect there would already be an FAQ issue 🤣 Interesting - it moves further when control doesn’t switch
Yo. This nerd also plays BT
Lol awesome! How long have you been playing and what are some of your favorite things about the game?
This was honestly awesome!
Great batrep! Please do more. Where is that terrain from?
How can the Recusant use Redirect at 1:34:50? The front hull zone has no shields left, so Capacitor Failure should prohibit the use of redirect and the ship should explode.
Nice catch! It was just a mistake that I made while playing, the recusant should not been able to use the redirect and been destroyed as you said. Thanks for watching!
Haha, I don‘t think it would have made a difference though. I really enjoyed the recent two battle reports, keep up the good work!
When you ACM’d the flag ship, he should have spent his redirects first if he was going to. It could have mattered here because if he redirected his shields away, ACM would be doing direct hull damage.
Critical effects are resolved after defense tokens are spent and before damage is applied. While I should have waited for Luke to spend his defense tokens first, the ACM damage would have been applied first and then the damage from the attack would be applied.
great match! Loved watching the VSD and 7th fleet do work!
Also, might be worth noting that you can only trigger 7th Fleet if the front hull zone is being targeted. Pretty sure there was some extra damage that was pulled off for that.
Yeah, I noticed that during editing don't think enough damage was negated to affect the match at all. Thanks for watching!
Yikes, I didn’t even realize I did that. Good catch!
Glad to see the videos again! Fun matchup, didn't go how I expected!
It definitely went a different direction than I expected too.
Where did you buy your credits
They were 3D printed and painted for this live stream, they look great right?!
The scenario locked fleets sounds super interesting. It’s like a new puzzle to solve between ships, upgrades, commanders, and objectives. It also really brings a lot of theme to the game when it’s starting to feel more like a competitive mechanics game.
That Separatist fleet is the best looking repainted fleet I have ever seen.
Second comment, I know, but it doesn't relate to the first. I think an easy thing AMG and Asmodee can do to earn a little more money is have some of the production of the miniatures used for Rapid Reinforcement I be repainted in the new scheme, add the new ship cards with the squadron ace, maybe a new title or two, and a new commander and ship those out. Charge about the same as a regular ship. I'm sure people (like me) would buy it. Also, I wouldn't mind if they ship a Republic or Separatist starter fleet (along with releasing a Rebel and Empire starter kit, there desperately need one) have a quick fleet build system so new players learn about building a fleet. One of my major complaints with Armada is it appears intimidating to newer players when developing a fleet. Maybe having something that isn't competitive but is a nice intro to the game for new players to learn how upgrades interact with one another can really help.
You make a lot of great points, hopefully AMG can get some traction going as they release new Legion and X-wing product and eventually transition into developing Armada. There are a lot of "easy" routes they can take in developing Armada but I recognize that even seemingly "easy" developments can take a significant amount of time to complete. Hopefully there's more to come in the future.
This is my personal opinion on AMG. I respect them as hobbyists. They really do have a passion for building, painting, showcasing, and playing miniature games. However, I have little to no respect for them as a business or a company. Like you have mentioned, releases seem to come from nowhere with little to no hype. Communication seems abysmal, only using Twitch and Twitter instead of press releases to announce things. I get that they may want to play things close to the chest, but one thing that drives people is the hype, the communication. The lack of an official PR person (or the appearance of one) really hurts them. Hell, about a year ago one of the developers basically told X-Wing fans if you don't like the changes we are making, too bad, we don't care. A PR person would be able to handle that easily.
About time!! Welcome back my lads!!!!
Welcome back! Glad to see the batrep. Love the damage animations on the bottom
I'm glad you liked them! They were kind of a bitch to do lol
Great to see you back at it lads!!
Fantastic game. Welcome back guys! I really think Dangerous Territory should've 100% been the pick. Opponent gets 75pts from it tops, and you can more safely keep at a distance. Advanced gunnery is brutal but at least you can reliably focus down the objective ship for a ton of points. Kinda think you picked the worst objective for you... But you played it well, this was a nail-biter of a game
I disagree with the objective pick, there were too many deployment options for dangerous territory, but maybe splitting up the ISDs would have been helpful. I went into my thoughts during our podcast review of this match. Thanks for watching!
great to have you guys back. Those 3 ISDs in formation like that is something else!
It was pretty brutal! He made some adjustments to the fleet and did pretty well in our local tournament right after this.
3 cymoons way to go for funnnn
Nice battle report gents, good to see you back ;-) you and SWAE back and uploading content within an hour of each other ;-)
