Hello, and welcome to Concentrate Fire! my new blog about all things related to the Star Wars: Armada miniature game by Fantasy Flight Games.

Here you will find posts about tactics, reviews, battle reports and news about Armada.  I've been playing the game since it launched and really enjoy it.  I had the opportunity to play at the Nationals tournament at GenCon 2015 and managed to take 2nd place.

I'm planning to get started with a series of posts called "In for Refits" looking at the various upgrades available in the game.
