Chilligan vs. dorrin 8-2 (202 MoV)

A tale of Rebel vs. Rebel, 3 TCR90s vs 3 TCR90s, Mon Mothma vs. Ackbar! Dorrin had a nasty fleet, one I did not want to approach from any side. I took first player and Dangerous Territory, figuring it would force him out of a traditional conga line and it did! From his formation I singled out where guppy carrying Ackbar was heading, and I tried to intercept him with everything, forcing his Corvettes to be out of range at the same time. I tried my best to use my first activation to get the ships in danger out of the way and avoid Home One's arcs. Once Ackbar and 2 CR90s were out of the picture, I managed to get good cleanup shots and was able to leave him standing in just one CR90.

Tense game, dorrin. Hope to play you again some time!

Its important to note that the tide really turned when Chilligans fleet was renamed from CR1, CR2, CR3 to Hiphopotomous, Rhymnocerous and the Jolly Wodger by an unidentifyed online hooligan.

Dorrin should really note that calling your flagship "Alpha" shows a real lack of empathy and attachment. No wonder it died.

You are the hero that my fleet needed. There will be pony names in my next game.

That unidentified online hooligan was probably MattShadowlord. He has done that to me several times during the games we have played together (such as renaming my tournament fleet into weird names ei Foreskin for Foresight and Hindquaters for Hindsight). He has a funny sense of humour at times but he is a great opponent.

I, too, have fallen victim to Matt's chicanery on several occasions.

He's the hip-hop hiphopopotomus

His shields are bottomless

He's flying with rogues

They're totally autonomous

Best warn your ships that are much too homogonous

Stop using names that are just too anonymous

Get on board, it's not pompousness

Cus the populace love the old hiphopopotomus

(totally wasn't me)

>unidentified online hooligan.

Matt, you totally need to put this in your signature!

No, THIS is what he should put in his signiture....

Oddly, I also went for Shields are Bottomless when riffing last night.

AdmonMonMothma just sounded like a market price Eminem.

TO query - What rules are we playing with regard to gunnery teams and advanced gunnery in this tourney?

I'll be subbing for green knight and playing ianediger at 6pm est on Sunday.

I'm not going out on any sort of limb by saying this is the team to beat. We need to take these guys down!

They waited with the BYE and then misdirected like they weren't going to be able to play and then...WHAM! They are way ahead of everybody.

Don't worry, I'll Strike the fear of God into them with the might of the Imperial Navy.

TO query - What rules are we playing with regard to gunnery teams and advanced gunnery in this tourney?

Weeeeeellll... Tournament started prior to the current ruling (and it was a ruling, as apparently there was an email about the interaction previously) so Advanced Gunnery and Gunnery Teams do work together. Slaved Turrets is still a fairly obvious "no".

Waiting to hear back from MattShadowlord at the moment. We at least know our time zone difference now (13 hours) but need to set the date and time. Sounds like it might be early next week.

Had some Comm Noise between me and Onca, but looks like we're playing Wednesday evening U.S.time. Nailing down the time before we post.

Reath28 vs Viperous - Thursday 17th @ 1800 GMT / Friday 18th @ 0500 Aussie

Reath played very well but in the end it was a close win for me (by my margins) 10-0 534 mov. My Scout Frigate took his main ships apart from range before my Torpedo swept in to finish the ISD off. The VSD maneuvered itself off the board while attempting to shake off the CR90. The bombers turned tail and fled before the wrath of Han, Dash and Tycho. I don't remember actually taking any damage from the bombers.

Well, in an ideal world this would have been the case

Nope, this game hasn't happened yet. It was actually scheduled for the week after (thursday 24th at 1800 0+ GMT).

Well, we never thought we couldn't get the games played, but that was one hell of a scheduling headache, and frustrating because after the bye GK couldn't play. It made me, along with my Bs, Play Angry! I really wish GK could have played, as he put in practice with his fleet, and it's frankly very scary with him playing it.

Now go back to sleeping on us. Though I'll be interested to see Biggs' write up of our team.

As a random aside, look at the fleets in Maturin vs Madagmire, that's really close in terms of ships.

(Also, Thanks for organizing this Biggs, even if I'm upset with a call.)

Yeah bout to say, I could have done earlier in the week but Viperous and the time zone have made scheduling a nightmare. Unfortunately we will have to wait until the Easter weekend for this result.

Miedomeda vs Moodswing is over: result is a 5-5 with a mease 8 points MOV in my favour.

I was first player and we played minefields. Going in my plan was to roadblock both his MC 80 and start a bumpfest, but plans are know to shatter on first contact with the enemy, so... Anyway, he didn't deploy as a typical conga line as I expected, instead opting for a "fork" formation with his raymus tantive in the middle and MC 80s covering both flanks. On my part, my deployment was really poor, as I ended up with my AF and squadrons on the far right side, unable to get a shot in the whole game, and my mc 30 rushing on mines. After some Dodonna shaenigans I still managed to cripple his flagship repair capability and ended blowing it up with Dodonna's pride while it was trying to escape after hitting a mine. In return Moodswing killed both my mc 30, Foresight with a lucky volley for 7 dmg and 2 accuracies, and Admonition - who had survived with some very welcome luck to her almost certain destruction - because of a postioning error on my side. Some more shots were exchanged, but the whole game was really decided with that big brawl in the middle of the "table" that ended with the loss of my 2 mc 30 and his pricey flagship.

Great game overall, tense until the very last shot.
