Star Wars: Armada

First published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2015, Star Wars: Armada is the much larger scale game of Space Battles set in the Star Wars universe. Where X-Wing sees players piloting small groups of fighters, bombers, and other small attack craft, Armada sees players piloting massive Star Destroyers, Rebel corvettes, and frigates alongside squadrons of X-Wings and TIE fighters. In Armada you take on the role of fleet admiral, commanding ships and crews to undertake daring maneuvers, manage damage, and divert power to critical systems.

Where to Start

Star Wars: Armada is for most purposes, a “finished” game. It’s not out of production – you can still buy kits from Asmodee’s online store – but it’s not really seeing updates. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however – while new releases don’t seem to be happening, new players can jump in without having to worry about updates, errata, or other changes that might render their model choices obsolete.
