I started playing XWING miniatures over Christmas with the family and it is fun. But man be ready to put down some cash to get a few good expansions. I am 200 bucks in - and it is just getting started. Cool game though - and the ships are fantastic!
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:I have been wanting to dive in on either XWing or Armada for some time now. I guess XWing is more like a dogfight, while Armada is more like naval battles. The latter sounds more appealing, until I realized you need 6' x 3' area to play. So going to dive in on Xwing one of these days, but I know I'll be dropping lots of coin, so I've held off. Looks like a lot of fun tho.
Armada looks nice too - though haven't played it. Those ships look really nice too.
The 3 x 3 foot play area is really the perfect size for XWING (and yes, I did get the official star play mat - it's nice for sure). The games only take about 20 to 30 minutes, so you can get a few different games - and ship squadrons - over a few hours to maximize the fun.
Armada does appear to be more epic naval type space battles and games last quite a bit longer than XWING skirmishes.
