Hey Everybody!
My local game store is sponsoring a tournament this August. It'll be our first one not meant to exclusively community build. Community will be built, sure, but many ships will be destroyed. Very excited. Lots of prizes just for participating. Here's the description from their Facebook event:
Please join us on Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 10:30 am for a Star Wars Armada Tournament.
The Entry Fee will be $5.00 per person.
In Star Wars: Armada, you assume the role of fleet admiral, serving with either the Imperial Navy or Rebel Alliance. It’s your job to issue the tactical commands that will decide the course of battle and, perhaps, the fate of the galaxy.
Tournament Structure: The Tournament will follow the Official Armada Tournament Rules, published by Fantasy Flight Games. We will play a maximum of 3 rounds, each round will be 120 minutes.
Each player must build one fleet for use in a Star Wars: Armada tournament. The maximum squad fleet for each player is 300 points. A fleet cannot exceed
300 points, though it may contain fewer than 300 points. Each player may choose to field either a Rebel or Imperial fleet. Each player must submit his fleet composition, including all associated Upgrade cards and total fleet points, to the TO before the start of the tournament. Players must use the same fleet for the duration of the tournament, including all Ship and Upgrade cards. Each player must bring an Armada core set and any additional components he needs for his fleet. The TO is not expected to supply any game components to players.
Prizes:
We will be using the Summer 2015 Tournament Kit for prizes.
Champion: Exclusive TIE Fighter Pilot medal
Top Two: Alternate art Assault Frigate Mark II A card
Top Four: Set of acrylic Navigate tokens and Imperial themed dice bag
Top 16: Alternate art Tie Fighter Squadron card
