Hi all, I've just seen that Armada Wave 3 has just been announced. Shame its only 2 ships and no new capital ones, but looks like theres some new elements to play which should broaden the way the game plays nicely. Further info can be found at FFG Website

Yep, these little guys will really shake things up. I've got no idea how I'm going to fit them in though, 400pts is way too tight as it stands.
There are two missing SKUs in their line up so I suspect we'll get another announcement, probably at Gencon (edit: I probably mean Adepticon which is in a few weeks)

It does seem quite a small wave, which I agree makes me think there will be another announcement or two at some point.

I'm not too bothered, these should shake the meta up completely with buffs and activations cheaply. With all the other FFG games competing for my wallet, a slim wave would be welcome.
The biggest challenge will be to fit them into an incredibly tight fleet point limit at 400pts.
The other thought is that they have two ships from the new Rogue 1 film to announce closer to release similar to the TIE F/O and T70 for TFA

18 points for the cheap one (which will be the most popular) for squadron 2 and the extra activation. I also like the look of General Cracken for my TRC90 and MC30 fleet who will all be going at speed 3 anyway! All Ship attacks obstructed - but not squadrons so Rhymerball is still a counter. Bright Hope title is a nice anti squadron card as well so you can save Scatter for big ship attacks.
