Armada World Cup - Vassal Tournament:

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

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

This is one of the few times I've been completely outflown. He used his upgrades (which even though I'd looked at his list, I just saw APT on one, and thought ooh, apt on all. Holy OW. Then after noticing that once, I did it again against another raider.

Didn't help that after a great first round, my fighter attacks turned to crap. Could have been close to a tie, if my B-wings could hit the broad side of a barn with black dice.

Just to confirm how we are doing this. We play a game against the other 3 players in the pod and then post results. I just want to confirm prior to tapping up the other three guys for games.

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

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.

It was a very good game, and very well played by Clontroper5

I highly recommend anyone interested in Raiders watches the replay.

(I recorded the first few turns but then went to Nandos :D )

Three pod games, posting results as you finish each game.

Then on to elimination rounds.

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!

You can go ahead and play with the other 3 replacement players as a "super secret special pod" once you post your list - tournament has started already though, sorry, so you wouldn't be eligible for replacement even if you posted your list.

That is correct. Play 3 games, one against each other player in the pod. Probably best to average 1 game per week but there's nothing stopping you from clearing them all out in a single week of craziness (see Clontroper5).

Ackbar with accuracies do a number to Raiders. Another example of why home one with fish lord is very relevant in the meta. Lol again that other thread that disagrees.

I haven't played raiders in an inperial mirror match, but I have seen raiders fight ackbar.

Actually "fight" is a strong word. I'm not alledging they were asking for what they got, you know, because a spaceship should be able to wear what it wants, but it stongly implied that it wanted to be "sleeping with the fishies" if you get my meaning.
