That's right folks, we can't be there but we can watch and critique! It's time for a game day thread.
Game should be starting up soon, so let's all hop in and watch, and wish we were there, and explain what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong.
Edit: 5 minutes till scheduled start time. Here's the stream: http://www.twitch.tv/ffglive
Edited by BiggsIRLPlayers are assembling. Looks like it's game on!
Or at least setup-on!
Edited by BiggsIRLI can see what at least one player has, looks like a Gen-Con special for not-NOVA.
NOVA has 6 ships, maybe a corvette swarm?
Here we go!
Rocks being set up. Objective selected, but no one knows what they chose. NOVA placed first, so CR90s are player 2.
No Demolisher, but ACM on the VSD.
Superior Positions is the Objective, CR90 guy had the initiative bid, and chose to go 2nd. This should be interesting.
Lots of rocks in the middle. Imperial player set up first, going 3 GSDs and the VSD on the Right flank.
CR90s have 5 notched to the Right (from the Imperial POV), and 1 lone off to the left.
CR90s are all As, except for the flag ship, VSD and GSDs are I-Class variants.
Mothma vs Screed, as you might expect.
Edited by BiggsIRLRound 1 went quick. All Imperials turned into the Swarm, with 1 GSD hanging back.
Round 2 has a VSD overlap a debris field.
Round 3 and we have shooting!. CR90s blasting away on the GSD in the lead.
MIRACLE CORVETTE
I can't watch it so in case you're wondering at least one other person is into your play-by-play, moustache man.
Turn 4, blockade is being run.
CR90 in the lead is sitting in a stupid position, but it also got stupid lucky and is somehow still alive.
CR90 in the rear of the enemy formation ready to start stealing Victory Tokens.
No blood in the water yet, but it has been properly chummed.
That Vette made a good move by diving in. It's a pawn and forces some navigational choices to the Glads.
CR90 sneaks away somehow.
Edit, but suffers 2 Victory Tokens for the Imperials.
Edited by BiggsIRLB-Wing chat by the announcers.
CR90 scores its first Victory Token. 15-30.
Amazingly, no casualties yet.
Another bold CR90 maneuver puts it at an obstructed short range shot of a trailing GSD.
Still nothing dead. CR90s flying around trying to stay out of dangerous arc.
Mothma got into trouble, and chose to run instead of heading into trouble.
