2015 "Holiday" Vassal Tournament - Signup and Commentary Station

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

I'm afraid I'll be sitting this one out as well. I finally got the new computer up, running, and VASSALized, but then realized I probably should be studying for my recertification exam in January. ;)

Next time!

List added to mine, and you lot missed me with your lists of people with no lists. <_<

Oh, and do lists need to include objectives?

Sorry, went off a list Biggs compiled, which I had assumed was up to date. Clearly it was not. :)

And no, you do not need to post your objectives. Honor system that you will not change them.

**Biggs' Steel Squadron**

Flagship: CR90B - Rancor (69)

- Mon Mothma

Ship 1: CR90A - Wampa (51)

- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits

Ship 2: Nebulon B Support - Corellia (65)

- Salvation

- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits

Ship 3: MC30c Scout Frigate - Ithor (78)

- Ordinance Experts

- Assault Proton Torpedoes

Ship 4: MC30c Torpedo Frigate - Mon Cala (80)

- Foresight

- Ordinance Experts

- Assault Proton Torpedoes

Total Ships: 343

Squadrons: (54)

YT2400s - x2 - High Roller / Idiot's Array

A-Wings - x2 - Thunder Leader / Thunder Grp

Total Steel Squadron: 397

Firespray-31 (18pts)

Not sure where the 80pts of squadrons came from: you only have 72 here. Your bottom line total came out correct though... Maybe a bug in Battlescribe?

Wouldn't it make more sense to submit lists to the tournament TO? Public lists are a bad idea :P

Unless FFG posts a new tournament rules by the end of Round 1, this will be our point scale (scaled up from 300 to 400 pts)

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+

How do you feel about making the cutoff for FFG posting the new rules before the tournament kicks off? The decision of risking that extra fighter vs running away to save a few points could come down to those scoring break points... Probably not a huge deal either way, just throwing it out there.

Also, if we end up with any Rieekan lists (haven't noticed one yet, but...), it might be wise to lay out interim rulings on some of those questions on him for which we're still awaiting clarification. End of game timing, end of round for Fire Lanes/Contested Outpost scoring, does he protect himself, going off the table, repairing to resurrect zombies, etc.

Are you saying you dont walk around the room before the tournament starts to see what everyone is running?

Besides i physically cannot be sitting in on every single game to ensure the lists are correct. This way everyone's opponents can ensure everything is on the up&up.

Ugh freakin' Rieekan.

Repairing doesnt resurrect. Rieekan works on his own ship. Off the play field is destroyed immediately as it is outisde play are and rieekan specifies play area.

End of round timing: End of Round is identical to End of Status Phase for scoring purposes.

I am in!!
