Topic: Distant Armada at Origins!!!

We held two sessions at Origins 2011, both Lyran vs. Hydran:

A four player game on Thursday and a two player game on Saturday.  Each took about a half hour to explain the rules, pick out ships and set up.  The four player game had eight ships and ran for four turns and two hours before ending decisively in favor of the Lyrans.  The two player game went for two turns one hour before ending decisively for the Hydrans.

I like the new rules for sensors, evasive maneuvers, and Stinger fighters a lot.  The SFU game is starting to shape up nicely now.

(I have pictures I'd post on Boardgame Geek, but there's no page up for Distant Armada, yet.)

Awww Crud.  Why didn't I see this and play a game.  I had an improptu Klingon Armada game on Saturday night, but I'd would have love to get a game in...

Re: Distant Armada at Origins!!!

These sessions were almost a secret-- I organized them informally with the ADB crowd just days before the convention.

If Origins isn't canceled next year due to GAMA's choice of day, then I hope to have SFU-Starmada on the main schedule somehow.
