Dakota Hill

Hey everyone, my name is Dakota. I have been an avid player of many war games over the last several years, and Armada has become one of my favorites! I consider myself to be more of a serious casual player, which means I tend to play the game for fun but still want to actively compete in the game. I do however work to understand the game as much as serious competitors and look forward to sharing my thoughts and analyses with you all. Thank you for checking out our blog; Gold Leader signing off!

Chris LaBanca

My name is Chris, and I occasionally post on the forums as IratePooka. I've played board games for some time, but Armada was my first minis game. I enjoy all aspects of the game, and am particularly fond of competitive Armada. Beyond Armada, some of my favorite games include Spirit Island, fantasy football, Five Tribes, Boss Monster, and Power Grid.

Lewis Marty

I am our group's resident Brit and have had the pleasure of calling St. Louis home since 2014. Since making my transatlantic trip, I've taken a deep dive into a wide variety of tabletop games (Bolt Action, X Wing, Armada, Legion, various FFG LCGs, etc.). When it comes to Armada, I only play as the 'good guys' and will often set myself up with a sub-optimal strategy/list all in the name of a good time, so look out for those! I lose a lot of games, but like I tell the guys, we aren't playing for money!

Nathan 'The Warmaster'

Hi, I'm Warmaster! I like fast ships and black dice. I'm of the opinion that the best way to win is to obliterate the enemy before they know what hit them. I'll mostly be talking fleet building and tactics, so stay tuned!

Chris Nelson

Chris is an outdoor enthusiast and also plays X Wing and dabbles in Legion. While not always bringing the strongest list, he is a great player and can turn the situation on you quickly! We look forward to his contributions here on the blog on how to do maneuvers on the table, as well as thoughts on outthinking your opponents with your actions.
