Expanding Your Horizons – Armada – Mantic Monday

29th Aug 2022

Welcome to Mantic Monday!


Some of you may be lucky enough to have received your Armada Taster Set early (the winds are in the warehouses favour it seems) and the rest of you will have them very soon!

So soon you will be a sea hardened expert Captain and like all impassioned and ambitious sailors you’ll want to know what else Armada holds.


Seas Aflame

This additional book allows you to add fliers and new ship upgrades. Seas Aflame has 13 new upgrades that you can add to your fleets. Ever fancied adding some ogre mercenaries to your crew? Well now you can for just three points. How about a Crow’s Nest to help you target different ships within range. All yours for just 1 point. There are also some brand-new magical upgrades, like the Scrying Gem and Vial of Sacred Water.

Armada Seas Aflame

As if all this wasn’t already exciting enough, you’ll also find rules for playing a campaign. Here you create a ‘Grand Fleet’ that will develop and change through the course of inter-linked games. You can then choose ships from your Grand Fleet depending upon the scenario being played. Depending upon how your ships perform during the scenario, you’ll then earn gold to spend on new upgrades and your crew will gain more experience too. Of course, there’s always the chance that ships will be damaged, so they may become less effective in future battles. Campaigns are a great way to get a group of players together and we can’t wait to see clubs or stores creating their own naval adventures on the seas of Pannithor.


Come fly with me

Seas Aflame also contains the rules for fliers. So, if you want to add a slasher carrying a cage full of angry orcs or a flying dragon made only of bones to your fleet, you’re going to need this book. Seas Aflame gives you the lowdown on how fliers move, how they attack, etc. Fliers are a great way to add a different element to your fleet and could help you turn the tide (pun intended) when it comes to certain scenarios.


Magic Moments

The Magic Deck brings powerful spells and arcane artefacts to your games of Armada. Now ships can sail into battle with wizards duking it out with fireballs and whirlwinds, as your cannon wreak havoc across the enemy’s bow.
