Where as in X-Wing activation depends on Pilot Skill with the lowest skill moving first. You then take alternating turns activating ships in the Ship Phase. Each players fleet can be built up to 400 points and the person with the least amount of points is awarded the option to choose to go first or second. In Armada you have a permanent first and second player. The biggest difference in Armada vs X-Wing is in how you activate, move and shoot. Command Phase, Ship Phase, Squadron Phase, and Status Phase. The game is played on a 6 foot x 3 foot playing area and takes place over 6 rounds. The Two factions available are as you can probably guess the Rebellion and the Galactic Empire. In it each side creates a list of Ships, Squadrons and their upgrades. So, if I happen to be watching an episode he will happily call out Baat Bing Baat Bing! It can only grow from here :)Īrmada is a game of epic space fleet combat for 2 players by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). In his baby Cantonese a Storm Trooper is called Baat Bing (White Colour Soldier) and Darth Vader is Hak Bing (Black Colour Soldier). We kind of watch Rebels already today, although I am sure he doesn't quite understand what is going on. 9 as he should be 5.Īt that point we'll revisit the Clone Wars and then Ep. 4-8 and hopefully hit the theatre together for Ep.

I'll be trying to introduce Star Wars right to my son when it's time, we'll revisit Star Wars Rebels, roll into Rogue One and then immediately into Ep. I'll let you guess the one takeaway I had when I saw that movie at age 5. Weird what your brain does after a stroke! I didn't really recall that memory at all for my whole life, but in the past year it has become a very vivid one. But I do remember standing outside with my Parents waiting to go into the theatre I was holding a Kenner Star Wars Figure of Luke Skywalker in his Hoth getup. In a sad bit of nostalgia the theatre at Southcentre Mall is gone. So yes, Return of the Jedi was one of the first movies I saw in theatre. Although, I fondly remember a Dukes of Hazzard Wrist watch car toy growing up Asian in Alberta! YEEE HAW! Being that I was born in 1978 I wasn't around for the original Star Wars and I was obviously a little too young to watch the Empire Strikes Backs at Age 2. Let's pause for a bit while I take you into the weeds about my personal experience with Star Wars. Keeping with the theme of Star Wars I thought today's subject would be about something that is a bit of an obsession for me. I'll be getting ready to make my annual pilgrimage to the movie theatre it's hard to get out when your child's age is counted in months. With the premiere of Star Wars the Last Jedi this past week, Star Wars hype/hate is through the roof.
