Grabbed a copy of the Armada Core Set and have posted a review:

great game, actually prefer it to X-wing!

Ouch, he flew the Corvette right at the VSD?

That's been the death of the Corvette in every one of the learning games. It takes so much damage if you move it into firing range before the VSD goes. Always move corvettes first to get them out of harms way, or move them last if they're safe but have an angle on a weak spot.

Although, thankfully, in Armada as opposed to X-Wing, it's much, much harder to one or even two shot a ship.
