   Armada is a *two-player* game.  While it has one player aspects, it was in 
fact meant to simply satisfy those people who were screaming for the ability to 
roast their neighbors.  The strategy modes are more like Chess than anything 
else.  Your carriers are the Kings and must be protected at all costs.
   Find a buddy to play with and you'll enjoy Armada much more.

You really aren't missing anything. Yes, the Armada part is extremely
easy to beat, and a bit simplistic. The only good part of the game is
the ability to play directly against other people over a modem or
network.

Well the game was designed mainly to be two player, which it is
brilliant for.  If you play the computer on ace mode it makes it a bit
of a challenge, but it is still pretty easy once you master the space
combat.  The only thing I haven't done is completed the Gauntlet, but I
don't really play the game much apart from over the modem link.
