There is a cheaper way to do it if you don't want the figures for Armada.  They have it so you can buy the dice, the maneuver tool, and the range tool separately. and all together those are not more than $20.  After that you can get the stats for all the ships on line.  I put them up on a spreedsheet I can print out.   Then cut out the base sizes from thick paper or cardboard:  Small ships: 41x71mm, Medium Ships: 61x102mm, and Large Ships: 76x129mm.  Squadrons are 1.5" in diameter.<br/><br/>We have a 3D printer so we can print off our own versions of the ship models and put them to our homemade bases.  It's unauthorized and you won't be allowed to use it at your local game shop or any official Fantasy Flight Game tournament, but for at home playing against the wife, its fine.<br/><br/>My mistake was not cranking my corvette up to speed 4 and sending him against the Star Destroyer's rear, and not bringing the bow guns of my frigate to bare ever.  The wife despite it being her first time did a fine job of moving her Star Destroyer and got lucky with a focus fire command coming up, so she got to roll 3 red and 3 black dice against my frigate and got 6 hits, 4 of them critical hits, then turned around and scored 3 hits against my Corvette.  The critical cards had both of my ships loose their shields.  After that she broadsided me and used her TIE fighters to kill me.   It was ugly...
