I was really hoping you'd remake this video. The first one was great, but your production value has come so far since then.
notjux I watched his unboxing the other day. I laughed when he talked about how he wasn’t even looking forward to the game, and probably wouldn’t really play it. I was kind of the same way. I liked the models, but I wasn’t really looking for the game.
I really like the game.
@@thewok funny because Armada is now his favorite game to play. Even if he also plays legion the new awesome hotness and xwing 2.0 which its xwing its classic but updated.
Armada looks so inmersive. Imagine how cool it would be to play Armada along with a Star Wars FX soundboard for maxium inmersion!
The year is 2024 and I am still using this video to learn how to play Armada. Better than all the other sources I tried to use including the official rulebook.
Same!
Was super helpful! Would love to see a new updated how to play, using CIS and Republic starter sets.
Ditto, but now with Asmodee updates, haha
CIS vs Republic should be a 1 player game in which you’re Palpatine and control both sides 😂
This is the best walk-through even years later... thank you
During the flak explanation, "He rolled an accuracy, so he missed" Kinda ironic
Literally my complaint when learning
Just found your channel not too long ago and so glad I did. My core set arrives tomorrow and I can’t wait
Welcome to the Armada community
Theodoremodelmaking hahah thanks!
New video really helped. I’m trying to learn bc my birthday is next week and I am trying to get Armada.
It's worth getting. I got it for my birthday, and my collection has exploded since then.
I'm a bit late, aren't I?
@@Voidling_System Getting it for my bday I am! My 903rd bday!
Great vid! This has convinced me to get a core set along with my fav ship, the mc80 Liberty!
Thank you for this. I play X-wing a lot, but have not yet tried Armada. Your video has certainly made me consider buying a core set.
Definately going to watch more of these ARmada vids
Great timing man, just bought the core set to try it out with my dad. My only knowledge of the game is from your videos and I appreciate your insight. Very appreciative of all you do for fans (or newbies) of the game.
I keep coming back to this whenever it's been a while since I've played, just to refresh my memory. Loving Armada so far!
I keep coming back to this video as a refresher, and sending the link to friends before their first game. Thank you
Thinking of getting into the game and I have been watching alot of your videos. Thank you for the content is been very informative.
please make an updated video! An updated video with new rules and everything would be great
Just discovered this game. Great video helping me understand it. Sounds like I’m late to the party given support from the maker of the game but excited to start none the less
Have never played Armada, but just signed up for a tournament at LVO’21! This was a great intro video. I’ve watched most of Crabbok’s Legion and X-Wing videos; time to get caught up here.
Great video! I would love to see a similar video list of best expansions to get multiple copies of and why.
Just these days decided to give Armada a try, and this intro was very helpful, thanx :)
Just got the starter and both squadron packs II in abundle and now I'm trying it out with my family, thank you for the video
I just got that set and was so confused. Just found your channel and helped me a ton. Thanks
There are new sets with some rules changes coming out next week - I'll be doing a new how to play soon so keep your eyes peeled!
@@Crabbok I subbed and clicked the notification bell. I'll be ready
As a new comer to this game this was very informative!!!!!!
Just got into Armada, thanks for the videos!
I’m new to this game my friend just started playing and we play a few games together so I’m trying to play now. He told me about you lol but after you explained it to me very excited to play ❤
you should do an updated version of this but with the clone wars ships ?
I found one important thing: obstruction beats engagement, which means if you have a squadron on (for example) an asteroidfield, and the enemy moves his squadron onto the same asteroidfield, the attacks are obstructed and NONE of the squadron is engaged -> everyone can move away when ever hey want (on their activation-turn ofcourse)...
Did I understand that correct?
Thanks for the video! Just getting into Armada
Great video! It's crazy to see how your production quality has changed...cant wait to get into this game
Just started playing with my son and your videos have been very helpfull thanks
Thanks for the video. Has really helped me with Star Wars Armada gameplay!👍👍👍
Crabbok, absolutely love your channel..keep up the great star wars work.
Have you considered doing a State of the Game overview once a year where you talk about all that has happened and change, maybe have some guests on and discuss the current meta.
Mandalorian Gaming I like this idea.
It's something I'll look into
Good idea.
Great video! I am just getting in to Armada and several of your videos have really helped me out. Thanks!
It would make more sense for critical hits to be downgraded to be classed as a hit against a fighter rather than ignored.
Looks like a neat game to try. My friend has it, I'll ask him next time I see him to play a game together.
Thank you for the video very helpful for beginner.
"Quad turbolasers and heavy missile armament - what more could you want in a ship?" -random victory star destroyer gunner
Great video if I want to start playing Armada in addition to X-wing.
That said, I have only gone as far as getting the Core Set. I'll have to rewatch your "What To Buy: Armada" videos, since I'm seven Waves behind, if you will.
Again, great video, Crabbok.
I played this at my buddy’s house and was instantly addicted
Good video. I am still learning Armada and found this as a great rules refresher.
Very nice game. The choice, influence and trategic thinking makes it amazing. I am waiting for the clone wars. Very excited for it.
I like that you are expanding to cover some new content. I always value the information that you have to provide to help us along. I was wondering if you could talk about tactics with specific builds whether is is armada or x wing. So present a list and say this is how I would try to fly it or this how I would attempt to fly against this. Thank you for your time and info
Very informative. Great video as always!
I don't have it. Doesn't mean I don't want to watch this awesome video and crave to buy it
Great video! Excellent Tutorial! Would you mind making more in-depth tutorial video's for X-WING 2.0? I'm a beginner player and tend to get confused about some of the add-on cards and other abilities. They're not that "clear" at times and hard to understand exactly what they do. A video or two describing some of the talents, sensor, tech, where to use them and what they do. Some are definitely not self-explanatory, at least not to a noob like myself! Thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this helpful tutorial, really good to see this refresher for the game, makes me excited to play again!
By far the best tutorial! Thanks man!
Others didnt make sense nor replied to me after I pointed out questions.
Can i ask a few questions?
Yup!
@@Crabbok
When attacking enemy ship and you get to attack them twice from your single ship due to double arcing, and you get to roll an accuracy result on the first roll and disable and enemy's defence, does it still have an effect on the second roll even if I didn't roll an accuracy?
How about when attacking from two different ships? Same results are rolled, does it still have an effect to the second ship?
@@asnpogi No the accuracy is only for that individual arc's attack. The next attack, even from the same ship, is an entirely new attack.
@@Crabbok thank you,
How about rolling crits and the enemy using the contain defence? How do i know which roll to cancel out?
Lance Selda I’m sure you’ve answered this already but from his explanation in the video contain is used to cancel out the standard critical effect, not critical damage. There will only ever be one standard critical effect allowed in an attack even if multiple critical dice are rolled but each one will still count as damage. If you use a critical effect from an upgrade card then contain won’t work.
X wings are awesome to have in your fleet
You've made me want to play this game, now to wait for a sale on the core set.
Great how to video. These videos got to buy my core set 🙂
This looks so cool im going to try to get into this, any recommendations?
Watching again 🙂
44:35 line if sight
If Fighter squadrons attack a squadron that has defense tokens, and the accuracy sides come up, can I choose a defense token that cannot be used? Same when a ship shoots a squadron with defense tokens?
Excellent video, many thanks.
My only complaint to make it look cooler was having the stands shorter that way you dont see it. Specifically for the star destroyer. Way to high up
So ships are activated back and forth in a turn and not all at once? I activate 1 ship then my opponent activates 1 ship etc? If thats the case then who activates the squadrons that weren't activated via the dial first after all the ships have gone?
Well, I'm a new sub and definitely getting into armada or x-wing in the near future :D
My first game is tomorrow. Thank you for the video. I missed that ships could fire twice. How useful is having multiple shortened manuver tools?
Great video as always
Just a question regarding targeting multiple squadrons with one ship attack. I’m pretty sure the anti squadron dice result does not apply to every squadron within range of the same firing arc. Instead each squadron in this position will have a separate roll. In the rules explanation booklet it says that multiple squadrons can be targeted from the same firing arc but it also says to repeat steps 2-6 for each additional squadron, which includes rolling and resolving anti squadron dice.
Very helpful video! Thank you for sharing. Would love if you could help in person!
I came here for legion stuff but I might end up getting into armada cause of this now
Cheers pal! Great intro video!
General question. Dose anyone know where I can get a replacement card board cut out or a properly scaled print out for the Victory class stand? Bought a used starter set and it's missing the base for the victory. I'm having the base 3d printed but I need the card board. T.y.
Frel like the Liberty should be a medium. I dont see thr liberty the same size as a star destroyer...
Great video i was playing well i was watching it was so good and i’m 9.🙂
love this video, very helpful.
Nice Black Series display, I know about the “Space Walls” but where did that Death Star II window in the throne room come from?
This looks interesting (I’m early into the video). Are there games that are similar? Doesn’t have to be Star Wars (I like Star Wars but still)
Very nice video
When a ship is about to shoot can it target BOTH ships & squadrons in the same attack?
Question. Why do a lot of people leave out the "speed 0" cardboard piece in the maneuver tool?
Harrison Cantrell I don’t know. I heard Crabbok say in the video that his fell out, though
Mine simply fell out. That happens when you play as much as I do.
I have also found in certain weather conditions these fall out more. We had a tournament and it was a very cold and very dry day and everyone's number markers were falling out of their tools. Since that day, same tool, same tokens, maybe one has fallen out once.
Hey Crabbok, would you give odds to the Liberty-type Mon Calamari Cruiser or the Imperial-class Star Destroyer?
Is there a better faction or is this game balanced? Looking to get into this game.
This seems like a deep strategy game. I have and enjoy x wing
I like to say X-Wing is to checkers what Armada is to Chess. My personal biased preference is Armada is the superior game but YMMV. Armada is currently my favorite game, I don't play X-Wing, but I do have pre-orders in for Legion as it seems a little more Armada like.
the games hella expensive but it looks so fun!
Is there a plan to redo this video???
When I use the " moving road" for a ship,but I don't have special move power,can I put the "moving road" for the ship,then? ( right or left)
Question, I know this is an video I'm assuming you get notifications on posts. I'm confused on "play area" so ships are deployed within the 3x6 and can move anywhere within the 3x6, or is movement and deployment limited to the 3x4?
If you move and shoot with a squadron command when you’re moving your capital ships does that mean that particualr squadron that you moved/shot doesn’t get to do anything in the squadron step of that round? Or could they shoot again in that phase?
Getting my core set on the first of November 2020 and I know nothing of this game lol but this video helped :p
Edit: question to anyone to ask: I'm a fan of droid ships are there droid gunships and bombers n' such in armada if so I'm making a squad of droids

What are ID tokens
Crabbok is this how you are coping with the Rebels Episode last night?
excellent video
Is there a way to play this online?
I am curious, if you had proceeded to the next turn and moved the corellian corvette at speed 4, and if he could pass the star destroyer without overlapping on the other side, would the move be allowed to completed without a ram happening?
Trying to put the TIE fighters on their stands is very hard. Any tips or tricks to help put them on? Tried looking it up, to no avail.
Be gentle but firm, and twist a bit to help them slide in without breaking
@@Crabbok Ok, will try that. Thanks!
Forgive my ignorance. Is this still a relevant game? Is this more entry level friendly compared to Legion?
I just received the core set, and I'm too burned out to read the manual after working for 24 hrs. Cheers. Any idea on when the squadrons 1 (for both factions) will be available? I'd like to run a bunch of A's and Y's just so I can say "I'm alright!" right before they blow up. XD
So you can only use one brace but can you use more than one redirect
You can only use one token of any given type, during a single attack. So only one brace, and one redirect when you are being attacked from Ship A's front arc. Then when Ship A takes a Side-arc shit on you, you can do it again.
Crabbok thanks :) very helpful
I have one question, but this video is kinda old, how exactly does the escort work I didn’t quite understand that
Sqs with escort mean that enemy squadrons who attack them must attack the escorts first
@@Hailthecloudslayer oh ok, thanks for the clear dude, big help😁
Why isn't tarkin seeing much play?
Where can I get some squadron pegs?
thank you for you video, um i am hearing alot of feedback from your mic also things are really loud
You also cannot have more than 2 flotillas in a fleet.
What does a crit hit do in terms of damage?
It adds 1 damage to the total and counts as the attack being critical, which allows you to resolve the standard critical effect : (The first damage card dealt is faceup). Some upgrade cards have a substitution effect for that crit, replacing it with another. Multiple crits do nothing. 1 crit is the same as 10 crits in terms of the effect.
Hey can I get fully into this game for like $150 for a 400 point game?? For both factions or just one
And now the armada comes to a game
Star wars squadrons
