Armada.

The gift that just keeps giving, or is that taking as my wallet just took another hit.

The monstrous Starhawk and a “balancing” ISD are on the way (not fully balanced, but I need room for the rare small Imperials). I am not sure if there are businesses getting jittery about stock or if I am just getting occasionally quite lucky, but the Starhawk was (relatively) dirt cheap and the ISD definitely fell within my acceptable range at the RRP of a VSD.

The ISD sits well with my thinking. I can now have two plain wrap ISD’s, as well as the Chimaera. Very “climactic final scene”.

So, I am an Armada 3 ISD fleet owner.

Big timer.

Go me……

The Starhawk? Just love the giant Nebulon-B vibe it has and obsessive me can now account for every possible upgrade card in the new update pack (except the ships I do not want or cannot get-yet).

The Starhawk gives the Rebels three very different dynamics;

• The rag-tag scrapper fleet taking on the big slow Imperial brutes (the original idea).

• The more balanced MC75/AF2 line fleet (Rogue One inspired) for face to face fights.

• The “tide turns” fleet (Starhawk led finishing fleet vs the Onager and multiple ISD’s).

So, the Rebels can now play underdog, go head to head or play roles reversed.

Over? Probably not, but that depends on the reprints AMG have promised (Imp Lt Cruiser, Raider).

Now I just need to use the holidays to paint my fighters.
