This pack is essential for any player and especially the new ones. The only way to have everything without spending a fortune on ships that you will not use. The video is very interesting.

This has probably been the expansion I was most excited to open. Seeing all these upgrade cards and the beautiful art. Amazing.

There's some tokens in the box, between the sleeve and the cardboard. For the proximity mines and something else iirc

I'm still dissapointed they changed card sizes, the upgrades in mini size are so convenient.

I HATE those small cards. This is way better as far as I’m concerned.

This has really revitalised Armada for me, can’t wait to see these on Ryan Kingston and build some fleets!

Man I have to say I appreciate your videos so much. Your the reason why I just bought the Clone Wars Armada set. Thanks man 👌🤙

Neat! I kind of like that it's a universal size now, just like X-Wing 2.0 Thank you for the video!

Thanks Crabbok! Been waiting a loooong time for this!!

I really like the fun of selecting upgrade cards when building my X-Wing squadrons, I do not want to see them go away. I think it would be interesting if, rather than including upgrades with the ship expansions, each wave had an upgrade card pack with multiple copies of each non-ship-specific upgrade introduced. Then you could just buy the ships you want to fly, plus one card pack and have everything you need, rather than waiting for your faction to gain access to a specific card or buying outside of your faction.

Looks like I'm getting one of those! Thank you for the unboxing.

solid impression of gollum lol. im sold on this box now thanks for that(not for the impression lol for the contents)

THIS is the video I have been seriously waiting for! As a result of this video, I'm buying two packs asap......

Hoping for an AI upgrade pack for campaigns or something. Would be cool to have an option to coop vs AI I think. Maybe app driven...

Haha, your Admiral Ackbar sounds like Rip Torn and I love it.

Do these replace the cards that come in the core set and the expansions?

Oh sweet I’ll go out and get that! Thanks crabbok

I like the change to Ozzel. I think Ill try a new build around him.

Always good to see your enthusiasm for this awesome game!

As if this game didn't already take up enough table space...let's make the upgrade cards bigger!

I am glad you are not in charge of Armada LOL! Upgrade cards are CRITICAL to the game. they allow for so much variability, fleet building, etc. yes you could go the route of quick builds, unique minis, etc... but I think the options during fleet building is one of my favorite parts of the game... imaging not being able to choose the weapon loadouts, titles, going skimpy or fully loading. Would it still be fun? yeah. but it wouldn't be armada.

So for cards that activate with a command like gunnery team, do we still get the bonus that comes with concentrate fire or does the card replace that ability?

Was thinking about this driving home, while I like upgrades, wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a quick play feature for some quick speedy pickup games? Special versions of ships as you suggested to put any two or three together on a short board for a quick death match?

I think this is good point for repackaging old ships and maybe even get price drops based on smaller package. They could reprint old ships and box only content is ship, ship card and ship stand. (No upgrades, no command dials and no upgrades) So much possibilities for pro consumer strategy.

Can't wait to get my copies!

Do i need just one or 2 boxes of these. I only have wave 9 and 10 ships

Really great set of cards

Anyway to get player aid cards with updated 1.5 rules? Also how does one get pause turn tokens?

Going to get me one! Nice review.

Mine is finally coming tomorrow, so excited to finally play some clone wars armada.

Just ordered this the other night!!!!

So, I am thinking is is an auto include for new players, but will a core set be needed also? I know you do what to buy videos, but I think it’s a year or two old, and don’t know if they still apply or if there’s something different to get/do. Thanks for the videos.

So is their value here if your looking to start with the separitist starter set?, Like is it only for rebels and empire or are there really good cards there for sep and republic usage too?

Currently debating to get this or just write the errata on the cards. Can’t bear the thought of having to resleeve all theses lol

Can I still use my old promo art commanders? Vader should be ok but Tarkin has altered points now. Do I just reflect it by having the correct points on my written list.

Great addition to the game. Really surprised that they decided to print the points on the card, would have liked them to follow the X-Wing model of online points system. Perhaps they don't anticipate making points changes quite as often?

Does anyone have any idea when they will have this in stock again?

So excited to run a new sato and mothma

What are the dimensions of the cards? I am looking for sleeves

So how many boxes would you think someone should own to get Enough upgrade cards to field a fleet. I was Looking at getting 2 But I'm wondering if that's not enough. It's too bad they just don't have one that just has the upgrade cards for everyone I'm not the special unique ones since technically you only need 1 of those. So we get stuck by the whole thing multiple multiple times.

Very nice video can’t wait for the next

So...as a brand new player, do i need to buy 2 of these?

seems helpful brother, although I’m with you on wishing the games were more about the miniatures

Thanks for going through all of these! Did you miss the tokens that were also in the box?

Anybody else kinda bummed that the cards are going to take up a lot more space on the table when playing? I really enjoyed the unique look of having smaller upgrade cards. But who knows, once I get some of the larger ones, maybe I'll like them more.

New player jumping in with CIS. How much of this box can be used with CIS?

Crabbok can you do more Armada build videos. I'm experimenting with two small ship fleets. On the Empire: "Blockade Group" 394 pts Admiral Screed (Open for other suggestions) 2 x Arquitens Command Cruisers 4 x Arquitens Light Cruisers 2 x Tie Squadrons 2 x Tie Bombers Alliance: "Runner Group" 399 pts General Cracken Toryn Farr 2 x CR90a's w/ Linked Turbolaser 4 x Hammerhead Torpedo Crvs w/ Expanded Launchers 1 x GR75 MTrans w/ Repair Crews 2 x X-Wings 2 x Y-Wings Thanks

Scenario: The Empire has a 'light' blockade of a planet (or hyperspace lane, etc) and the Rebels have to push through (for whatever reason). But the Rebels have packed out their fleet with heavy torpedo ordinance with the Hammerheads. The CR90's serve as a screen for Fighters and Bombers and X and Y wings as support and GR75 as the supply ships and repair teams (also is primary target).

Loved the voices

How many cards were changed? 36?

It would be kind of cool if they released a card pack for each wave as they came out. It would be an easy way to keep players on a budget making small purchases and continue to participate in “new stuff”

What's the card size?

Sorry noob question and i know this old video. But is this worth getting for clone wars armies? or is there no point or cant be used?

Was on the fence about the card pack. Now I just have to hunt down one that is not reserved.

Looking forward to the 14 hour card comparison live stream! ;)

Did this ever release? Is it out of stock? Is a reprint coming? I can’t find them anywhere and I can’t find ANY info about it.

@Crabbok How essential is this if we have all of the regular upgrade cards? (i have at least 1 of every rebel and imperial release)

@Crabbok

Somewhat less essential, but still of extreme value. The errata and adjustments to points are helpful to have in print, and the bonus copies of everything would cost you hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to get otherwise.

What a brick of cards!

I think this is a great product! I kinda wish they separated the Empire from the Rebels in separate card packs. Now I have a bunch of Rebel cards I will rarely use. Regardless it is a welcomed product!

I wish they added some of the generic cards from the clone wars starter sets. I don't plan on spending another $200+ to get up to date on new factions.

Yo! How are those cards so huge?! 👀 the ones I got with my ISSD are tiny miniature cards. They’re not normal sized like those ones at all?! 😮 was that a feature before the upgrade pack released? Or am I missing something?

Asmodee really needs to ship my cards, I want my preorder.

I know jerri and ozzle have slightly different effect but they seem way too close in my option. I wish they had made them more unique Jerri is During a friendly ship's Determine Course step, it may suffer 1 damage to change the first yaw value of its current speed to "II" until the end of its activation." Whole Ozzle is During each friendly ship's Determine Course step, it may change its speed by 1. They both affect navigation in slight different ways but they could easily combine the 2 cards into 1 in my option for slightly higher cost and made a "new" commander ability

Of course I just got this before the announcement. Is it worth keeping?

Absolutely. About 1/3 of the pack is Rebel/Empire, but the rest are generic and represent cards that would otherwise require buying almost one of everything that has come out before now from both factions. Yeah the extra cards suck, but there's no guarantee that GAR/CIS will get expansions with these cards.

Weird choice to only have one of some non-unique cards.

The size of the cards bothered me when it was announced, and it hasn't grown on me per se, but I am getting used to it.

I'm glad they made this, but I'm not fond of the larger size. I don't understand that change. In my circumstance space is limited and this will hurt that it's awesome to be able to get commanders without buying a ship you don't want.

This is supposed to be for new Clone Wars players to get in the game. Half the cards are unique Rebel or Empire that have no use to new players. There are not enough of the cards they need. They are going to have to buy two of these.

I'm just thankful to get the SSD commanders w/o having to pick up the ship itself. Everything else is errata and spares for me

This looks like a double purchase.

Man, the more changes we see, the less interested I've become. Most changes make ships more predictable and overall less effective. That's a shame. Demolisher was very effective but expensive. Now it's fairly effective but still expensive. I just don't understand many of these changes.

The voice is a little much. Good expansion though.
