Squad Building

For this event you will need to build 2 standard 100 point squads. Squads will be limited to Wave 1 - 3 and Imperial Aces. The new X-Wing pilots in the Transport are not legal nor are any of the extra's ships and cards from wave 4. You may play either faction or 1 of each. For example you could run an Elite swarm and Biggs walks the Dogs. You could build to counter the Meta, or try something crazy to surprise people. If one of your lists just isn't working for you, you now have something to fall back on. A second list opens up some options for you, and can keep your opponents guessing on what you might pick.

Interesting concept. Have you thought about how to make the squad reveal "fair", so one player doesn't know the other's squad first, and choose the counter-squad appropriately?

Either way, could make for some interesting squad combinations. For example you could have one squad of elite interceptors, and then something like Biggs walks the Dogs, or a swarm in case your opponent has a turret list.

JFunk came up with a great way to do the reveal. Each player will choose a maneuver on the dial. 1 straight = Squad 1, 2 straight = squad 2. Both players reveal. If a player try's to change while the dial is on the board an *** Illegal Move *** show's up. Simple and straight forward.

I'd love to sign up, but I'm finding the Team Covenant site impossibly difficult to register to.

When were you planning on having games? This seems fun but it sounds like it'll be going during my finals week and when I'm starting a new internship so I don't know if I'd have time.

I'll probably register for this. I've downloaded vassal and the x wing module. Just need to figure out how the hell to work it now.

Does anyone know of any vassal tutorials that don't sounds like a drive through speaker?

An alternate video is De Bad Wolf's tutorial he recorded a little while back. It helped me get it installed. Note the files are out of date on his video, so reference what mrfroggies has in the OP instead.

just sent the email

The division play will start on April 28th. You will play everyone in your division (Round Robin), I'm going to be flexible with the scheduling of the matches. Much of this will depend on the number of players. Here's a best guess on my part, you would have 5 weeks to play 5 games. You could do all you games in 1 day, or 1 a week, what ever works for you in your division.

New to vassal. Check this site out. http://teamcovenant.com/mu0n/2014/04/13/new-as-a-player-to-vassals-x-wing-module-check-in-here/

Here's some info from the guy who's been updating the module ( http://s93768914.onlinehome.us/xwing/ )

We have both past and present World Champions signed up, along with several National champs from around the world. Some great squad diversity as well.

Glad we will have 5 weeks because I am going to be in Romania for till the 6th of May!

Quick Question: If our opponent is within playing distance are we allowed to play on an actual board instead of vassal?

I will allow that. If you do, then remember to take some pics and do a Battle Report. Not required, but fun.

Likewise, I've tried several times with different emails to register, but not getting any joy.

Have you checked your spam folder? I am embarrassed to report that this confused me for a couple of days.

Still can't decide if I should do this or not.

Because it'll be fun!

Thanks Sideslip, I've checked my spam and nothing. Very strange.

If anyone needs help with Registration please let me know and I'll do what I can to lend a hand.

Maybe I missed this, but how do you know who is going to run which of their 2 squads? Is this determined before you know what the other guy is playing?

Each player will do a dial reveal for squad selection prior to game. 1 Maneuver = squad 1, 2 maneuver = squad 2. If they try to change they will get the *** Illegal Action! *** message. It's very clean and simple.

Ohhhhhhh..... I see. I get you.

Yeah, this looks like a lot of fun. I'll be sure to enter. I assume that I have to have my squads set by the time I enter, correct? Once I send you the email, there's no changing, right?

You may change your squads up to the last minute. A few players who have signed up have already changed their lists a few times now. Midnight 4/27 the squads are set.

What is the best way to find a game on vassal. As in: I think I want to play more, but I don't necessarily have people I know who can play when I like to (evenings). Is there a particular way people get pick-up games?
