The Man Battlestations Podcast Man Battelstations

After a longer than expected break, Andy is back with another episode of the MBS Podcast! As is traditional, he is taking a look back at 2023 as well as looking foward to 2024.

For Episode 85, Andy is joined by a new co-host, Chris. Chris is Andy’s local “partner in crime” when it comes to the game that is the focus of this episode: Star Wars Armada. After years of collecting but not playing, Andy has been playing a lot of Star Wars Armada over the last year, and a lot of those games have been with Chris! The two of them touch on the changes that have happened to the game and its support over the last few years, and prognosticate on the game’s future.
