This might surprise you but if I had a choice the first miniature vehicle I would get if I had budget left over would be the TANTIVE IV ... it's the first ship I saw in the Star Wars universe .... followed by that triangular destroyer ... the second ship I ever saw in the SW universe. ^_^ XDFourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987721317661044121.post-34641651309761513432016-01-09T19:14:44.333+01:002016-01-09T19:14:44.333+01:00Haha, thanks!

Both games are quite different; it's like comparing WH40K and Epic; they are the same stuff, but different.<br />X-Wing is more dynamic, a constant sucession of decisions to be made on the go. Armada is more reflexive, you have to stick to your plan and let it happen. Different styles of gaming, both have their appeal...Suberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005091019027411799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987721317661044121.post-69721350930987192992016-01-08T10:03:30.924+01:002016-01-08T10:03:30.924+01:00That's right, BFG has quite more depth (damage...That's right, BFG has quite more depth (damaged ships, vessels adrift, torpedoes, all that stuff), but this one is excellent for the novice, and totally eye-candy!Suberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005091019027411799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987721317661044121.post-27610435039908101702016-01-07T21:16:09.838+01:002016-01-07T21:16:09.838+01:00Armada is always a great looking game!Armada is always a great looking game!riot villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352546766599695684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987721317661044121.post-43148519566726294552016-01-07T13:57:05.360+01:002016-01-07T13:57:05.360+01:00Interesting.
