Sullust Final Round Mirror Match?

By dbb143, in Star Wars: Armada

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered, but how will the final match up for the Sullust event work (with regards to building a new fleet with ships from the OP kit) if the the top 2 players are both utilizing the same faction? My store will only be getting a single kit, so I'm just wondering how this is supposed to be handled if it comes up?

My understanding is the that the final match will be Rebel versus Empire. One player will have to play each faction, so no mirror match is possible for the final game. Since I am organizing our local tournament I have plenty of ships to loan either side as needed. I am itching to see the tournament kit to see how you determine who has to play which faction. It may be that the points leader gets to pick his faction of choice, but then again it may be a random selection, or have the option for mutual agreement.

Yup. The top player chooses his faction and player 2 gets the opposite faction.

From there legal fleets will need to be built. I would recommend making sure people stay around to lend models if both players are Imperial/rebel only players

Thanks for the responses guys (as this makes sense). I have a good number of ships from both factions to loan either/or (as I will not be participating in this event).
