Begun, the clones wars have.
Will you be able to buy single ships?
Two years ago this would have really excited me but sadly, none of my friends now play Armada any more and have all moved on to other games. We all have huge fleets but the lack of new fleets coming out just seemed to kill our club. Oh well, hope you guys enjoy all the new stuff nonetheless.
Would you guys consider selling your fleets? I’m trying to get stuff together for me and my friends
Thank you so much for this video. As a newb to Armada, this clarified a lot and I will be getting into this with these new factions. I appreciate the time you took to make the video. Cheers
That's a good informative video, thanks. The only other thing I would've wanted to see is a new-player-friendly comparison of the two Clone Wars factions, to be a really complete buying guide. A breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses would be great for players not familiar enough with Armada already to get that from cards and unboxings alone.
Really enjoy your continued coverage Crabbok. Great work as always, thank you for the detail and overexplanations.
Thanks for the info. Can’t wait to get into clone wars
Just a helpful price of info for new comers trying to get to a point to play a 400 point game.
With a starter and one squad pack it is possible to put together a fleet for a 400 point game. You will be running max squads and probably have a 10-15 pint bid to choose first or second player but it's possible. An upgrade card pack will increase your options. So for $150 retail you can play a 400 point game with limited variation in your fleet composition.
One handy element of purchasing multiple starters is I will easily be able to field complete guest sets of movement tools, tokens, dice, and etc.
Just got my seps pack today!! Super excited for waves 2 and 3 and am now hoping to get my hands on one of those upgrade card packs!
I just found the clone starter on sale. There are three of us that are starting to play. I was yhinking of combining the Clones and seperatists into a "pirate" faction giving them the Quasar, Gauntle fighters and bounty hunter fighters form the Empire and the Hammerhead Corvettes, Scurrg and Lancer from the Rebels. Thank you for your videos, your enthusiasm is a great boost to any day.
I asked for the core set for Christmas, very excited to get into this game!
Nice way to wrap it all together. Excited for the next wave to add to these!
I love the new clone wars stuff. Me and my brother have been playing recently. Thanks for showing us this game.
You can easily build 300 point fleets with either Clone Wars starter + squadron pack + upgrade card pack.
Came here to say this. I've found (and I have upgrades from previous waves) that a core set and squadron pack were enough to get me to 400 points. There's not a lot of variety to this though, and so I don't think it's entirely wrong to recommend two starter packs. Just a lot of monies.
@@almightypip Yeah there's not many ways to build to hit 400, 300 would probably be more fun. I enjoyed 300 points back in the early days of armada. It would be a shame to buy two core sets considering most people will not be playing in organized tournaments until the pandemic is over. If you are just playing at home w/ friends and family it's better to do 300 points and wait for the second wave.
Great video as always. Have to wait until after the holidays to get the clones
Awesome review dude! Thanks for the info!
A nice holiday buyers guide is always welcome!
I really like the design ethos of separating core components from expansion packs, I hope this trend continues in X-Wing too. It would be nice to have a token pack and stop putting tokens in every single expansion.
Just dropped a question on your CIS unboxing about how many starter should I buy and then this video dropped this morning. Thank you so much, as a new player this video was super helpful!
I have to hold off on Clone Wars because of financial reasons, but I'm excited for your unboxing and batreps of it!
Good advices all round. Will look forward to your next video.
Very helpful video! Can’t wait to get these
As always, great video. Super helpful and informative.
I just hope my friends are watching too, and wanting to play this as much as I am.
Great review can't wait to hear more about clone wars Armada
My buddy and I each bought one of each starter, two squadron packs for each faction, and a card upgrade pack. We're just going to combine our stuff when we play to fill out 400 points. I feel that the dial packs are useless if you buy two starters as you're going to have more than enough movement and speed dials.
For now, I'm sticking with one each of the starter packs and squadrons...I expect that when the next waves come out, I'll get probably two of each other ship, and will be able to then fill out a full list. I'm not likely to be playing Armada anytime soon easily...they're steep in prince, these starters, so that's how I'm going to play it for now.
Great video, thanks for the info. Im in the UK and just wondered if people still play as I was thinking of getting a republic fleet
Super excited for Clone Wars, thanks for the vid
Great video! Thanks for making this!
Still waiting on my starting sets for CW. I'm excited!
Thank you for this im really interesting in armada and this will be something I can use of I decide to get it. Is there a good beginners video available for me to help decide if I want to step into the game
I've just purchased a Separatist starter. Looking forward to yeeting them towards some Republic
Loving these mini games is not a cheap love lol
Love my separatist, been waiting on them since the game came out 😅
My preorders came in a few days ago! Can't wait to get a game it. Wish they had General Grievous as a commander tho.
Probably coming with the Providence class or even the Malevolence.
Great info, thanks. I wondered if the command dials had changed. I have SO many of them now, I wont need this.
I wish I’d gotten a chance to get any of this, it all sold out in my area before I got the chance, and it all seems to be sold out online.
Man these ships just look so awesome.
Are there links to the other videos he is talking about? I dont see the links he was mentioning. Great video by the way!
I thought you were doing a buyers guide for just the clones and I was like how did you make the video so long.
My preorders still haven't shipped yet😢 but I can't wait. My LGS was limited to 3 copies of everything and they distributed them the order they got the preorders. I was #3 but guy ahead of me order 2 of everything
I was wondering if it would be possible to mix eras kinda a empire slowly changing from the republic or rebels using old ships ??
Hello and thank you for your interesting video. I am new to this type of game and am wondering what you say about playing this solo?
So do i need the upgrade card collection for clone wars? Bc i am worrying that this make no sence in clone wars aera.
Thank you, now I know what to buy.
I do hope they get separate stuff, because I do want multoples of the aclamator and the munificent. Which is posible it happen, they did it with the starter set.
These miniatures look fantastic!
I would love to know when my pre-order of upgrade card pack and Republic squadrons pack was some how sold out?!? Is this FFG underestimating demand again or due to the changes By Asmode
Hi in this video you mentioned getting 3 or 4 squadron pack for the hyena bomber. Can you give an example for a good 6-8 hyena squadron build for the separatists. I would like to know how i will make one work for me. I have al the expansions twice exept the starter pack. And now i am thinking about buying extra squadron packs for a hyena build but cant find a good example on internet.
This is much appreciated brother
Thank you for the advise on what to get! Really good video! Also 5th
Hey guys, I'm looking to start playing Armada for the first time. Would the Republic starter and say, a Republic squadron box, suffice as a starting point?
If they aren’t including certain items (dials) with ships would that reduce ship price
What are the chances if there’s a Venator expansion it will be a dual faction (Republic/Empire) expansion?
Looks awesome !!!
Now that AMG has officially killed my love of X-Wing I find myself exploring other options now. I've always been interested in Armada but I never pulled the trigger. How well balanced is the game? I know that no game exists that is perfectly balanced but what is the state of Armada? Is the game in a solid place that you'd recommend someone to get into it at this time? Thanks for the video, this really got me wanting to buy the Galactic Republic box. Anyways, Happy Gaming!!
Can’t wait to see the Venator
There are a few things that are not clear for me. You said a lot of reasons about why buying the starters. But, wich one is the best (playing it, and only with what it comes with the starter) ? Is it better to start the game buying one one starter for two people or buying the core set ?
I like this content and I'm looking for starting Armada because I really enjoy playing X-Wing.
If you want to be able to field two player games for $100 get the original rebel/ imperial core set. If you can swing the $200 get a republic starter and a sepratist starter. As far as which faction to buy? Both are balanced. Get what you like more if you are only getting one of the new starters.
Hello Crabbok :) do you have a plan to update or modify, armada AI system acording to clones ? Thank you
Thankyou for the review. Which Clone Wars Starter do you recommend for somebody who never played Star Wars Armada?
Whichever faction you prefer. Doesn't make a huge difference at this point.
@@Crabbok Thank you =)
Our recommendation? Buy one of each starter and two of each star fighter pack, and the card upgrade box.
Still waiting for my order... Your videos make the wait a little less bad
If they make a Lucrehulk I will be having a crabbok moment he mentioned about his SSD in his empire WTB vid. I will be buried with that thing.
Stupid question: Is this a 3rd faction for a 3rd player or is it mixed with the 2 existing ones for more options
Hello thank you for the videos I love Armada, or atleast looking at the box's, I oggle at the SSD all the time lol
Trying to get into Star Wars armdada. Would I be fine with the republic and separatist starters or do I need the core set? Thank you!
if you buy two starters you wont need the rebel vs empire core set because the clone wars starters come with everything for 2 factions to play agaisnt each other
the original starter means a lot of sharing
All of the ships that came with the original Armada set are for sale individually. I don t see them. not being available eventually but hey its going to be a question of stock. Hopefully AMG fixes this past issue.
Thank u for the info
I think 2 core is fine because it lets you play 800-point games. Now 3 seems like a lot to me since soon we already know that more ships are leaving and you have to leave money for those purchases too.
I really like Armada but sadly I can't afford it, because it's too expensive. 100 bucks is a lot, espacially considering you'll likely need squadron packs and upgrade cards as well.
Checkout miniature market, gamenerdz, and cool stuff inc. You can get stuff at a discount. One starter and a single squad pack can make a 400 pt casual list easy.
@@J.B.90 Unfortunately I live in Germany. And over time that's still a lot of money I don’t have for a hobby. And I don’t have many people to play with neither.
@@projectpitchfork860 thats too bad. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Edit: Another option is table top simulator. They have a good digital version.
@@J.B.90 Yeah, but that's just not the same. And playing with otgers is even more difficult.
Already regretting not getting a second Republic core set...
Realy like this wave 👏🏻
Cool video and Life Day giveaway is awesome are you going to do another squadron video once bwings and tie defender launch
They launched last Friday.
Getting my first game in tonight
Thanks, Asmodee
One day I'll be a winner =P. Thanks for all the great videos!
Hold up, what 3 cards are not included in the upgrade card pack??
Pryce, Bail, Strategic Advisor
Kinda wish the small ships didn't have the flimsy pegs still, but looks great otherwise
Good info
i would like to buy but my money is tied in preorders that don't arrive
Why are they taking the dials out?
So when is the Venator class star ship being released?
It's out!
@@Crabbok nope, in the UK its not available. Amazon and a few others are showing a release date for November 12 2021. I almost bought the starters but if I can't get a couple of Venators then it's not worth it. It's out of stock at FFG too. Wtf
just here for the give away... but the info given is fantastic!
Is the core box still needed with the Separatist Alliance Fleet?
Nope
@@Crabbok Thnx for the answer! The availability of the core set is bad here in the Netherlands. Now I can still start playing the game.
I have been waiting for the clone wars sets, really hope Santa brings me the republic starter.
Cool. Im hoping for separatists starter for Christmas, that munificent model looks so good
Wish there an official republic arquitens light cruiser, victory sd, and LAAT squadrons
Still can't wait until the Venator is released!!!
I would suggest buying one of everything and then wait for the single ship packs
I hate trying to order this stuff off amazon, I wish my local store would carry it. they are mostly war hammer and heroclix.
They won't do special orders?
@@williamoder5614 more to the tune of they can't do special orders.
thank you very much
Never played, never heard of it. Is this a purr card game? And what are all the factions available?
If every thing goes as planned i am ordering my first starer in about a week or two
K veteran words here I have played Armada since 2016 and Honestly all the clone wars content is very nice but for the first time I didn't have the same excitement and joy I usually have when I open an Armada order one of the main reasons being that half of the components are useless to me and I don't like the new cards format and will use resized reprint so I only need the ships, squad and stand) . I think FFG missed a great opportunity to make an essential kit and individual release. Even for new players getting ships to make a 400pts fleet or have enough dice will cost them at least 2 starters.
“Hello there, I’m giving away a Republic Starter Set, the winner is Joshua Schroeder”. :P
I just acquired my first X-Wing series 2.0 starter kit, Would love to get an Armada Starter.
Buyers guide for clone wars: buy it all. Ok, done, thanks for spending all my money!
Hate the resize kills space for small store tournaments
