Lets Have a 400 Point Tournament as a Send-Off to Wave One!

By Corellian Corvette, in Star Wars: Armada

I think we should have another tournament before the wave 2 stuff gets here, BUT at 400 points with the wave 1 Ships.

Lets just see what happens when you take the 300 point meta and add another hundred points to it!

Just wave 1 ships and squadrons, but we can either decided to keep with the current pool of upgrade cards, or decided to use the upgrade cards that have been shown in the preview articles to spice things up a bit.

Who would be interested in a 400 point vassal tourney send-off to wave one?

I'm in:)

I would, but no new cards, it would shake it up a little to much and possibly imbalance it without the new ships (Ackbar and 4 assault frigates anyone?)

I see, right. So, three options then: No new cards, New Upgrade Cards with no admirals, or all the new cards that we have spoiled at the time.

Theres one being run at my LGS this weekend. Will be imteresting.

No new cards.

Better question: Current MOV?

No new cards.

I dunno. This is a discussion thread where we hammer these things out. What would you want to see?

I'd certainly be in. I agree we shouldn't use spoiled cards though.

(Ackbar and 4 assault frigates anyone?)

I'll run the numbers tonight and see what a proportional equivalent would be.

(Ackbar and 4 assault frigates anyone?)

Please?

I'm thinking of 3 assault frigates and 2 CR90s

But I also want at least 3 squadrons :(

I already have my list worked out. Nuts to your all-ship builds! Squadrons forever!

I've tried Numerous times. I just can't Vassal... So have fun everybody :)

I'm interested. No new cards is my vote too.

I'm in, with no new cards as well.

Based on the current MOVs, my best guess for 400pts is:

5 and 5 = 0-25

6 and 4 = 26-65

7 and 3 = 66-120

8 and 2 = 121-200

9 and 1 = 201-295

10 and 0 = 296+

So, we need to decided if we want to set up the tournament, and how we do it

Like, if we want it to be a match-up like how NCAA does it, or like march madness, or like soccer.

  • You fight the person who is closest in points, or
  • You fight in a bracket, or
  • You fight in pods of other people with your timezone before moving onto a final match

Also, lets do some advertising! Pester your friends to try it out with you! Lets get a lot of people! :D

So who wants to T.O.?

I would be willing to if no one else wants to but have never Been the T.O. (well I co-rule judged at a couple tournaments) and would need a little instruction...

And I have been thinking about how to set it up and think that the "Pods" idea ifrom a few post back is probably best.

We could have say 5 pods of 6 players each (give or take) and have 3 rounds to determine the best in each pod, and then have a 4th round to determine overall winner.

I think that would be fairly easy to run and organize while keeping it fair

Everyone plays against each other in the pod system, then the total number of MoV is added up and the top people face off against other pods?

That would mean that a pod of 6 would have 5 games right? Also that would mean your list would have the opportunity to play against its flaws and its strengths.

I would be in for this.

Definitely say no new cards

But on thinking about it pods of 4 might be better, I do however think that the whole tournament shouldn't be more then 4 maybe 5 rounds

Im in. I also vote no new cards.
