Tournament carrying options..

By Altahara, in Star Wars: Armada

and a few dozen fighters possible including all the dials needed.

I'll get something worked up, maybe even a 'Lyraes' test piece built soon.

Also... Edit btw... Working on something like the tuck. And wooden tokens. Stained one color on one side, other color on the other.

*begins furiously designing in head... Stops to do math on few dozen fighters...* how many points are you playing? Lol

Well many in my area love 600+ point games. . .

Minimum cost of a 2 dozen squadrons in points is 192 and that is all base TIE Fighters.

. . . I hope I get a discount for my order that will come. . . Armada Tactics News will HAVE to review your work. . .

Also check out erro404's work (I bet you have already)

Here is a link to a few pictures of them in action. That ship token tray. . .

Another thing I would LOVE to see is something like the Tuck Box Command tray.

Would need a way to easily show the damage cards though. . .

Lol

My first 3D Printed Prototypes were a Tuckbox equivelant.

But in the end, I went for something that sat flat on the table.

Wondering if I should go ahead and make the trays with the large slots available now.. Even though I only have the numbers in the faq to go off of so far. Or just have the medium/small ones for now. Until I can test with sullust large ships.

We have to assume the large ship dimension numbers in the latest FAQ are accurate. You probably should wait until the Sullust event though. It's only 2 weeks away and jst bring your metric ruler with you! :)

Hehe, oh I've ready for some made was going to bring/use it for sullust. But that is what I was thinking as well. I believe the medium ones should go up for sale on etsy Sunday night. Monday at the latest.

I used the rulebook as a tray for my stuff. I may use a small toolbox for tournament use.

Guess that'd require tournaments to play. Haha!

Wait... What rule book do you have? Mines very flimsy... Lol

Nobody uses the learn to play!!!!

Except when I was carrying my ships... Honestly, I used both books. It held my 2 CR90 and 2 Neb Fleet fine... I was young and naïve. ;) :lol:



But it's still paperback. Lol

I'm just imagining me, using rules reference. With a vsd and two gsd. It would end badly. Lol

I just carry what I carry every day at tournaments. Ohhh, ways to carry ships between tables, never mind. So far I've just used my small Dewalt case, but it only works for 6 small ships or 2 mediums and 2 smalls.

I use my Dewalt TSTAK's to get my models from point a to b. From table to table I don't have a method. . . Thus it takes forever

Yet. Don't have a method yet..:-)

Also, have one going to the site shortly. Stained pecan. Will have pics within an hour.

So, have one ready. More are drying for stain. Awaiting more sanding.

Took maybe more than an hour ^_~

I like it. Will have to wait for the large ships to come out for that

Took maybe more than an hour ^_~

Lol got distracted with taking pictures of the other one.

This one is medium/small. No large ships. Until I borrow(steal) a large base to test.

Almost enough small slots for a 400 point game ^_~

Holy crap that looks fantastic! Too bad I don't have a tournament scene to use it at :(

Thank you. Hopefully you have a local gaming scene at least. Game store to play at?

We have a game store, but not much of a local scene. I've been trying to get my friends into it, but they only are interested in playing it when I provide units, as I have one of everything there is a little variability, but it is lacking compared to having an actual opponent who is familiar with the game already.

I just don't know what to do to grow the local scene for it :(

I know our local shop where I get everything from has a few of the tournament kits for armada and IA, but he is only willing to support it if someone else runs the tournaments and such. :/

I'll revisit this since I just had an experience last night...

I played in an X Wing tournament last night for giggles (haven't played in over a year, and I didn't get out of Wave 2). I ended up using my Plano case as my carrying tray from table to table. Worked, and I didn't have to keep a bunch of tokens out because they were all right there. I'm not saying the Plano would work for Armada... not unless your fleet was nothing more than flat ships, but something like that should be enough for Armada. I watched other guys just piecemeal carry stuff around from table to table.

I'll be the first to admit. These trays are not necessary. But they are so cool. (Yup, very very biased. Lol)
