Unlike the original Empire/Rebellion Era Armada game, Armada Clone Wars features one starter set for the Republic and one starter set for the Separatists. Now, Fantasy Flight has turned their Armada system to the 3 year Clone War which led to the fall of the Galactic Republic at the hands of the Sith Lord Palpatine and while the expansion is very exciting and includes beautiful miniatures and compelling game play, the game is tainted by the Dark Side of faulty components and high prices.

Not that I’m exclusively a Star Wars fan, my science fiction passions aren’t limited as I also enjoy Babylon 5, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Space 1999, UFO, Space Cruiser Yamato and countless other science fiction movies, tv shows and books.įive years ago, I reviewed Fantasy Flight’s original Star Wars Armada release which focused on the war between the Empire and the Rebellion. Over the years, I’ve thrilled to the prequels and sequels as well as the spin off movies and television shows such as The Clone Wars, Rebels and the Mandalorian. I remember seeing Star Wars in 1977 (at the perfect age of 11) at the Dayton Mall’s glorious Cinema 1 70mm screen which, sadly, is no longer in existence.
I am a huge Star Wars fan having cut my teeth on the original film released in 1977. “This will be the perfect test for our new fighters.” Passive scans seem to indicate that they are launching fighters and heading directly towards our position.” “Good,” said Dooku giving the man an icy look. Two Republic Consular cruisers just jumped in to the system. The human commander nervously turned from speaking with the comm officer and looked at the Count. “Captain, when will we be in position to launch the prototype Tri Fighters?” he asked exasperated. The two Hardcell transports took up positions in the asteroid field as Count Dooku paced the bridge on one of the armed transports.

But, with no other alternative landing site, Kenobi's gunship was soon shot down by the fighters.Īs the battle wore on, Clone Commander Jet contacted Admiral Yularen with the Republic's fleet for air support. Once Commander Cody and his forces arrived at the landing point, they were immediately bombarded with fire from the starfighters, and Cody warned Kenobi to stay away from the site. As both the ground and starfighter fire became too intense, Ki-Adi-Mundi ordered all remaining AT-TE tanks on the ground. When the Republic gunships launched from the cruisers, multiple Nantex starfighters were deployed to shoot down the invading craft, many of which were, including the Gunship carrying Obi-Wan Kenobi. Several months into the war, Archduke Poggle the Lesser attempted to rebuild several Battle Droid foundries on Geonosis, which initiated a full-scale Republic invasion on the planet. Its cockpit was designed mainly for Geonosians therefore, any other species could not pilot the craft well.Īt the beginning of the war, the Nantex starfighters played a key role during the First Battle of Geonosis, swiftly raining down fire on Republic forces and protecting Count Dooku from a Republic Gunship carrying Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Nantex was a single seat fighter, allowing only one pilot. Its medium sized laser cannon was capable of damaging firepower on any invading craft, including the Republic's LAAT Gunships during the Second Battle of Geonosis. A single laser cannon aided the starfighter in combat.
