Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars™: Armada

Well I am finally back from my 3-week vacation and I am so excited; why might you ask.  Fantasy Flight Games is releasing a two-player miniatures game of the iconic and epic Star Wars genre called Star Wars Armada!

The Star Wars: Armada Core Set contains everything you need to get started, including the rules, an articulated maneuver tool, a range ruler, six command dials, nine attack dice, ten unpainted squadrons, and three pre-painted ship miniatures (Victory-class Star Destroyer, Nebulon-B frigate, CR90 Corellian corvette), plus more than 130 cards and tokens.


I never got into the FFG X-Wing game, however this on the other hand has my interest.  The only downside side is that this starter is slated to go on sale for $99.  A price point that will see most gamer bow out on the initial release.  I have been trying to find out at what scale these miniatures will be release as to see how well it will align with other miniatures I already own.  This however has been meet with extreme difficulty. I assume that they will use a sliding scale to ensure that a SSD does not come out to be 1 meter or more long on the gaming table.  I am perplexed by the introduction of the Victory Star Destroyer in the starter because it was not an iconic movie ship.
