More Armada!

I felt that three CR-90’s would be fun and mixes up the 2/2/2 evenness of my small ship Rebel fleet, and because I like to keep a balance to things, a third Gladiator also.

“Wolf packs” comes to mind in both case, one a hit and run, the other a close quarters mauler.

Is it just me or does everyone get a little spend-happy in Spring?

I resisted the two MC-80’s, because I still struggle with their scaling and look. The Starhawk, Nebulon, MC-75 and Assault Frigate all share the hanging Jowls or cocktail sausage look the MC-80’s lack and are all in acceptable looking scale to each other. I also have the upgrade cards (Admirals etc), so nothing really missed.

The upgrade card pack is still the single best purchase for Armada. No matter your ships, you get the entire updated upgrade range in one go. Print out the ship cards from Cannotgetyourshipout or similar and proxy the ships and any fleet is possible.

I have also bought some more fighters, because I feel I need some “spares” for paint trialling. I am struggling. I want them to be much the same quality as the bigger ships, but that is vexing. I have felt a little stressed painting the ones I have, so some extras to practice some ideas on will help (and some more would be nice anyway).
