For Reference Only: Wing Commander Armada (December 8, 2013)

[ChrisReid]

Here's the reference card that originally came with Wing Commander Armada. GOG included the Voices of War manual for background story and went above and beyond to digitize the game's Playtesters' Guide as a bonus feature, but people who never played the game before were missing a few bits of information. This sheet includes the games' basic commands, orients pilots to the cockpit and explains how the strategic sector display works. If you weren't aware, Armada also featured split screen controls for two players to dogfight from the same computer on the same keyboard! Instructions on how to manage this are also on the card. Good luck out there!

Split screen was always an interesting way to play; IIRC back in the day my box usually couldn't handle the input from both players at the same time, which was always annoying (for my opponents, naturally). I wound up playing many a match with the keypad controls (a handicap for the people I played with - they may not have been familiar with all the controls but I wasn't familiar with the keypad either so it all worked out).
