Armada World Cup - Vassal Tournament:

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Pod 4... all rebel madness.

I'll deal with you rebel scum soon enough.

I'm waiting for Ardaedhel to come knowledge bomb us with stats again.

Also, I love how people are talking about practice. I'm flying my list cold, son!

I'll be compiling all the lists into one convenient website, so we can do analysis off of that. Just give me a bit of time to put it together, possibly tomorrow.

POD2 - Western USA Region
Shadoer
Truthiness

Captain ICT

Holy bomber madness, 3/4 lists are mostly all bombers for fighters and have a lot of fighter points. The other one has 2 fighters. (The others are: 4 Bombers/2 Support/AS, 7 Bombers/3 Support/AS, and the last is 8 Bombers/1 Support (That last one might be bit deceptive, because 7 of those bombers are B-Wings, and the other one is Dutch)) So total of 19 bombers to 8 Support/AS (3 of those being Intel ships) 2 Firesprays, 7 Generic TIE Bombers, 7 B-Wings, 1 TIE Advanced, 1 Jumpmaster, 2 Rhymers, 1 Dengar, 1 Darth Vader, 1 Fel, 1 Jumpmaster 5000, 1 Dutch and 1 Jan, The guy with only 2 fighters at least brought 4 raiders to make it interesting.

Only look to be about 10 Admiral Ackbars, and none of them in the bomber pod.

I'm free starting tonight for pod four fun!

Pod 4... all rebel madness.

Meanwhile I'm the only Rebel in pod 3, which is great, I prefer non mirror matches in general!

Just looking at the lists and calling it now, I think Green Knight has this one! :D

Don't let me down buddy.

Not if anything to say about it I have!

Clontroper5 (1st)vs Truthiness: 10-0 mov 362

We had our game and knowing I had >>>>>>firepower but <<<<<<<<<surviability I just charged and after placing instigator well enabling me to tie up his fighters I demonstrated the full firepower of my fleet able to destroy every ship with 2 vollys and ending the game turn 4

I am sure it was a very shocking experience for the Truthiness

Wow, that was fast.

I'm waiting for Ardaedhel to come knowledge bomb us with stats again.

Finally hit a chance to finish up the "after" stats from the Holiday one today (I'll post when I get home)... Then I can do the "before" for this one. :)

Very well played by clon. I mangled my plan badly, wandering my Bombers straight into instigator while being obstructed by obstacles. I badly underestimated clon's firepower.

I love how doobleg is in the "oh god where do i fit these guys in" pod rather than the Australian pod......western Australia's isolation kicks in again lol.

Did you have multiple Raiders get near your squadrons? Multiple Raiders have absolutely insane ackack.

Personally, I think Biggs was just looking for a rematch. ;)

Not going to lie, I was happy when I self-selected for the "whelp, someone has to bite the bullet" weird schedule block, and fond you were alone at +8. That was a fun tournament when we matched up in POD play.

Awww man missed it... please sign me up as a replacement.

Just managed to get Vassal working today and am eager to play!

(CDT / US) I'll get a list posted in the morning. I guess no hurry since I'm sitting on the bench ... lemme in coach lemme in!

ooof, ouch! And here so many people (not me, I like them) said that raiders were junk....Then again people also say VSDs are junk....At least we know there is superior junk!! ;) :P jkjk

After the tournament I would love to see a full batrep of that match Clon. Raiders ftw? WTF?

on a roll today

Captain ICT was on watching mine and Truthiness game so i roped him into playing ours

Results

Clontroper5(1st) vs Captain ICT: 9-1 229 mov

all the BEESS anyway full on charge and let my glass cannons blow up everything which they did. instigator fed itself to the b-wings and then Demolisher killed independence off a double activation (move last shoot first) followed by yavaris getting knocked out by a double arc it was forced to move into (my raiders hurt like heck)

I then chased salvation down killing it with a double arc the next turn but not before his b-wings claimed a 2nd ship and a bunch of tokens anyway good game to my opponent and Good luck on your future matches. :D

MY RAIDERS WILL CRUSH ALL

I never actually shot at his squadrons i just blew up his ships... really really quickly...
