Fantasy Flight Games Announces Star Wars: Armada Miniatures Game
Woah! I never expected this to happen, but now that I’ve seen the Star Wars: Armada announcement I am not at all surprised that Fantasy Flight Games is launching a second Star Wars miniatures game. Look at all of the components in the box, and take a look at that maneuvering tool. Great work; hopefully I’ll get at least a few moments to stop by the Fantasy Flight Games booth at Gen Con and get a peek at the new game.
In Star Wars: Armada, you assume the role of fleet admiral, serving with either the Imperial Navy or Rebel Alliance. You assemble your fleet and engage the enemy. Using the game’s unique maneuver tool, you steer your capital ships across the battlefield, even while squadrons of starfighters buzz around them. Then, as these ships exchange fire, it’s your job to issue the tactical commands that will decide the course of battle and, perhaps, the fate of the galaxy.

@Jay – That maneuver tool is what jumps out at me as really clever.
