I want to say thank you to everyone who reads this blog and finds us helpful. Eric and I started this as we just wanted somewhere we could write down all of our thoughts about the game and have an easier place to just refer people back to when we wanted to expand on a topic. It's really easy for me to yell "Git Gud!" with squadrons as I play a game, but that helps no one and doesn't get the community to grow. What DOES help is giving people the ability to read some ways we've found of running things, in a format that you can both read and remember at your own pace, so it's not a datadump of information for you during the middle of a game.
When people comment on our posts or on the forums saying "Thank you!" or "Great article!" or "So helpful!" it really makes us feel great, and I'm glad to know that our advice is helpful AND that people are reading us. Knowing that we're helping people get better at the game we both enjoy is just a great feeling for us, and I'm glad that people find us intelligible enough to read and follow our advice. If we didn't have you guys reading us, this whole site would be just Eric and me yelling into the void.

Love u guys :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Without this blog, I wouldn't have been able to get two new friends into Armada and dramatically decrease their learning curves.
ReplyDeleteI found you thanks to Matt Kelsey and since then I check your site everyday. Your articles are great and funny. I remark your sense of humour and love the references you add to everything.
ReplyDeleteFinally, I wish I could find somebody to share my passion about Armada like you both do.
Keep the good work!
You guys do the BEST Armada articles, hands down. Much appreciated and has really helped me grow as a pretty noob player. Thanks so much. May the 4th be with you!
ReplyDeleteI found your site through Eric's posts on the Armada subreddit. I spent half my vacation just sitting in an armchair, binge-reading your articles and tweaking my lists.
ReplyDeleteNow I find myself checking your blog every day and recommending your site to my gaming buddies. They suspected I was getting outside help, ever since I've begun my winning streak.
Keep up the awesome work, your blog is my number one recommendation for new players.
Thanks guys - great site. Always a terrific read.
ReplyDeleteI've been an Armada player from early on. I do not get in as many games as I would like, but your blog adds fuel to the fire to get out there and pew pew pew!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are great :) keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are awesome. My buddy and me are starting up a new Corellian Conflict campaign and we're the only veteran players having to train four new guys. Your blog and style certainly make things easier...and I've learned a lot too!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to the next article.
ReplyDeleteAll hail John and Eric! Champions of the Armada blog! Thank you both for your hard work, insight, hilarious asides, and occasional dad-jokes. It's a winning combination.

Thanks! And don't help John with more dad jokes! He's already infected me with the bad pun jokes; it's basically a social disease! Hahaha.
DeleteThanks a bunch for all of your work put into the updates and posts. As someone new to the game, given its comparably low playerbase, it ain't easy to find info and hints that are as detailed, helpful and yet punny and thus entertaining as yours. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are amazing! The time and effort you put into these is impressive and much appreciated. My roommate sent me the VSD article you wrote when I was feeling down about mine, and I have to say it turned me right around.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the wisdom, and keep em coming!
You're welcome and thanks, yourself! It's definitely easy to get down on the VSD, but it has its place and FFG seems to be deliberately including upgrades to make it competitive in a wider variety of fleets (the new boarding teams, for example, are both easy to include on a cheap VSD-I and Minister Tua and Moff Jerjerrod from wave 5 both helped the VSDs a lot).
DeleteWith the Disposable Capacitors card that was just spoiled today for the Quasar (hot take writeup incoming soon), the VSD-II will get some considerable extra oomph as well!
