Hi all, this week we are starting a league for X-wing and Armada that will allow you to earn points for either game every time you play a game at Texas Toy Soldier!
Official league nights will be Thursdays for X-wing and Fridays* for Armada, but so long as you get a scoresheet from one of the league organisers and keep it updated, you will be credited for every game you play at TTS.
Hope to see you all there!
*Tentatively
The official store blurb about the league, with more details:
Texas Toy Soldier
Star Wars X-Wing/Armada League
Thursday and Friday Evenings at 6 pm
Starting October 1st
Please join us for the Fall 2015 Texas Toy Soldier Star Wars X-Wing/Armada League.
This is a FREE league, there will be no cost to play!
Players may earn league points by playing either game, Thursday will be the official "X-Wing" night and Friday the official "Armada" night, however, folks can play either game at any time at TTS and earn league points.
The league will run from October 1st thru December 18th. Players participating in the league will be able to play at times and dates other than the formal meeting time, so long as all games are played at TTS, and logged by one of the league organizers.
This will be a formal league following standard rules of play for X-Wing [and Armada, respectively]. Players will be allowed to change their squadrons throughout the duration of the league, and from game to game. Once per month, an additional game of Epic X-wing play will be scheduled to allow players to earn more points in a different format. Points earned in the league will be redeemable for TTS X-Wing/Armada products at the conclusion of league play.
X-Wing players should bring a legal 100-point squad, dice, range rulers, obstacles, and manoeuvre templates.
Texas Toy Soldier will also be hosting a Massing at Sullust event this Sunday, 4 October from 11:15AM-7PM:
This event is limited to 16 players, cost is $15 per player, paid in advance. Pay in person at Texas Toy Soldier or send Paypal payment to [email protected] You may reply to this email to reserve a spot in this event (pending receipt of payment).
The Massing at Sullust is your chance to get your hands on preview copies of the game's second wave of expansions and its first large-base ships, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer and MC80 Mon Calamari Star Cruiser!
What Is The Massing at Sullust?
FFG's The Massing at Sullust is a special preview event, showcasing the second wave of Armada starships and squadrons at exclusive preview tournaments.
Players will bring standard 300-point fleets and compete through three Swiss-style rounds, following all the standard rules described in the official Armada Tournament Rules document
Then after the Swiss rounds, the top two players will confront each other in a final match of epic proportions!
Both players will set aside the fleets that they played throughout the Swiss rounds and will build new, 400-point fleets that utilize the Wave II starships and squadrons. One player will construct an Imperial fleet that includes the Imperial-class Star Destroyer and Raider-class corvette, as well as at least one of the Imperial squadrons from the Rogues and Villains Squadron Pack. The other player will construct a Rebel fleet that includes the MC80 star cruiser and MC30c frigate, as well as one or more of the Rebel squadrons from the Rogues and Villains Squadron Pack. Both players will then be able to complete their 400-point fleets by adding starships, squadrons, upgrades, and objectives drawn from their existing collections, plus those from the Wave II expansions under their command.
Using these newly upgraded fleets, the players will battle for the fate of the galaxy... and the right to take home the Armada Wave II expansion of their choice!
