Armada World Cup - Vassal Tournament:

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Posted at

We are at 32 right now - making this the biggest tournament we've ever had! I actually didn't even consider that we'd get this many people, but that leads to it's own set of problems. The biggest problem is that now we'll be at 5 elimination rounds and screw up the even number of playoff contestants that 32 gives us, or we will have to start adding more people to the pods leaving lopsided numbers of games to be played.

To alleviate the sheer number of folks involved in this, and the "odd number" issues... Anyone signing up after this point is on a waiting list - if someone is unable to play or doesn't have their list in on time, the top person on the waiting list will be brought in to replace them, and keep our numbers at 32 for the tournament. If you are on the waiting list, be sure to post your list for the tournament before the cutoff - if you're called up to play, you'll need it on time.

Again, I'm Eastern Standard Time. I have a 7 month old who demands I play only at night, so after 8pm my time. From the 13th to the 19th of January I will be away, and unable to play. If that causes an issue, I'd be ok with stepping down in favor of a replacement with a less annoying to deal with schedule.

I'm new to the scene and would love to be one of the first on the waitlist for the tournament. If anyone would like to practice at all just PM me, I'd love to learn Vassal better and just get familiar with which side I'm more comfortable playing.

My local time is GMT -5 (Eastern Time US)

My availability is very flexible but I would prefer late afternoons and evenings Sun-Thu.

I'll be sure to post a list by Sunday (edited to add below).

Interesting list - probably the most activations in the tournament. :)

Why Ozzel for your commander, given that VSDs can only go speed 2 tops?

Probably the only way it fits. You'd have to sacrifice Liasons on everyone to get Motti...

Motti's only 4 points more expensive, so you're losing two, tops. Still, I'm keen to know if that is the reason, or if DeadEye has a cunning plan. :)

At a glance I'd say activation economy. He can cover the full spectrum of his movement options in one nav command (full stop to full mosey on a vic) and he can spam nav/eng commands on all his ships and by the time comc fire comes up, he'll have tokens prepped for his liasons. Plus, its not like hes hurting for hull.

And here's our backups. Matt, what is your time zone?

GMT +8 but I can easily play on US time (eg -8) due to schedule.

I have added a list in case I do manage to sneak in.

If not, GOOD LUCK Admirals, fly well and go down with your ships!

Less than an hour to go.

I will have the matchups ready once I get back from the Dentist's.
