Armada is the first miniature tabletop game I played. It feels like everything has gone down hill after FFG kicked it to AMG and all the focus has been on Shatterpoint. I just really want to see some new official expansions. Taking inspiration from custom 3D prints, I'd love to see something like a Dreadnaught Cruiser that could be used by all factions.

I'd tweak the narrative a little: Asmodee, the corporate parent of AMG and FFG, combined their miniature table-top games under the brand which was doing the best with that product type at that time (AMG). Only some of the employees were allowed to transition to AMG. Roleplaying games from FFG has also been moved over to a separate company, Edge. AMG received the Star Wars games in 2020 with a small studio, and they went from supporting Marvel Crisis Protocol and developing Shatterpoint to having 3 more games on their plate and not enough hands to keep them at full development. It's a classic corporate profit squeeze from Asmodee
@williammurteyjr.50738 ай бұрын
@@08thMSPilot and to continue the narrative. If you want to point fingers, it’s not AMG to blame it’s FFG. Remember, development time is 2-3years or so for any product to get to retail. FFG gave AMG a product line that was pretty much ending in their eyes.

what ships are you missing from what we see in the clone wars?
@nobleghost11778 ай бұрын
@PulsefiredGaming the CIS had a lot of ships so filling them out would be easy, but here's a list of Republic ships I made a while ago as a wishlist of sorts. Large Ships: Maelstrom-class battle cruiser (from an FFG ttrpg source book, and it fought in at least two battles in the clone wars) Medium Ships: Dreadnought heavy cruiser (while known from the Thrawn trilogy in Legends, it also served in the Republic in nucanon) Small Ships: Carrack light cruiser (similar to the Dreadnought, with Tarkin even commanding some between the two eras) MedStar medical frigate (I couldn't find a size for this, but the Nebulon is small. This ship could be a flotilla if it's small enough) IPV-2C Stealth Corvette (a cloaking torpedo corvette, as seen in the Clone Wars TV show)

I think the easiest thing for AMG to do was to do the single expansions for the core ship sets from the clone wars, and a squad pack 2. And they haven't done that yet. And woth rapid reinforcements, they should just sell physical copies. I am hopeful that this year will be different, but I am not holding my breath.

Hell, I'll take a group squadron like rouge squadron (this breaks from their philosophy 5) physical product, including cardboard and cards from rr1 and rr2. Easy money 6) hope that it will be supported by a studio who has an interest in the game

RR3 I think CIS - Jango Fett squadron, Bossk squadron, Newt Gunray commander. Republic - Z95 squadrons, Arquitens, Jedi commander. Empire - Nebulon B, Krenck commander, another bounty hunter squadron. Rebel - Lando commander (for squads), Quazar with a title, R2D2 / C3PO crew. There is many of the commanders in game that don’t have a crew equivalent.

I'd prefer them focusing on reprinting their standard ISD and arquitens to address those supply shortages over pushing out new ships currently anyway. The only thing I think Clone Wars is obviously missing is the Luchrehulk.

Won’t lie though, $60 + for a somewhat large ship… and 3D printing getting better.

We have a huge gaming store with minis and card games here in SoCal, it's sad to see AMG push their baby product Shatterpoint so much while neglected what brought FFG to the top with games such as X-Wing, Armada, and Legion. We even hosted the Regional Championship at one point, and we had a dozen play testers for the games mentioned above. Now NONE OF us play Shatterpoint other than one guy who hosts store tourny... Even he's surprised that Shatterpoint has such low player audience compared to prior games. This is what happens when a company just straight up ignoring what made them money in the first place. You can say the game got stale, too competitive, or whatever but a great gaming company should be able to tackle those issues without alienating followers/gamers that's been around for almost 12+ years at this point.
