This is not the post I was planning to publish next, it should have been Bloodbowl related (also posted back in June, but we won’t dwell on that). A chance conversation with a Bloodbowl player (Tim) in the league I am participating in turned into a mad dash to get a playable fleet to have a game of Armada with…and hence the opportunity for an out of the blue article. I wasn’t expecting to post about Armada again*, I did a review when I first received Armada back in November 2020. I had an initial bout of excitement and attempted to play a little intro/test game with my son (a bit young at the time really). I started assembling and converting some models but motivation dwindled and progress stalled.

Armada – An Unboxing
Today was an exciting day as a number of packages arrived at the house today. One of them was from Goblin Gaming and contained my pre-order of Armada by Mantic Games.
I can’t actually remember how I stumbled upon the game, but its a naval game, and I like fantasy naval games*, I’m a boaty kind of person – hence I pre-ordered it back in September/October. That and my son liked the look of the ships – hopefully a winner if Josh likes the look of something.
Working form home, this box (and another that arrived on the same day) has been tempting me to sack work off and break it open all afternoon. However, its only tonight that I’ve managed to get a good look at what’s in the box.
Keep your weather eye open, and lets dive in…
