What I Have been Flying Recently

I had my first in-person games of Armada since last winter this past weekend and it inspired me to write a bit about what I have been flying and enjoying lately. I have been trying to play on vassal at least once a week for the last couple of months,

Armada

Objectives: Blue (Wave 1)

Objectives are one of the main game mechanics for Armada and choosing the right one can sometimes be a huge brain melter. The objectives that are used are the ones that the second player brings. The first player gets to choose from all three of the second player's
