=THE GALACTIC CIVIL WAR= Team Warfare, Vassal

By MattShadowlord, in Star Wars: Armada

I like how matt is his own side. Lord Matt transcends the petty conflicts of mere gal axies.

I feel that I should contest this......

All right. . . I am in. My Internet is working so we can test things out and see how it works.

I thought about the oppressor, but I don't think it is the same fleet if you don't land both MC30 titles....

You can put me as flexible

I would just go with Admonition.

Dodonna is what is really needed though.

I love the idea of this style of play. I might finally get to play against an imperial squad list that isn't "the super friends" (yeah, I'm lookin at you, Ninja....)

This type of game and style of play really appeals to me... I'd love to play a couple of games where Uniques are, well, treated as Unique and rather un-expendable...

But alas.

My Schedule will not allow any amount of... Schedule... at the moment... :(

Am in, prefer Imperial but flexible.

Time zone is NZST. Evenings work for me at the moment.

This is why I can't sign up for this one. After this last tourney and tomorrow's regionals, I think it's time to dial it back a little bit.

I would love to do this but I just downloaded Vassal. I've been jealously watching the other tournaments and not learning how to Vassal for some reason. I got over that now. Is there is room for a new but competent* adult? I usually use Imperial but will fly whatever, whomever. And I don't mind playing with leftovers and generic pieces as it adds to the challenge.

*Competence with Vassal yet to be demonstrated. You have been warned.

You got this. Vassal is actually pretty easy. If you know Armada you'll be fine! Once you learn the basics it recreates the game very well.

Then let's throw down! Just tell me what to do. And how to do it. And where to go. And when to be there. :P

Going back to tabletop after a few vassal games is the hard part --- that awful moment when someone bumps the table and you realise you can't click UNDO UNDO!

Thanks for offering to assist, CaribbeanNinja. Consider yourself battlefield promoted.

And the enthusiasm has been much greater than anticipated. Let's make this a 30 player (6 teams of 5) event. Wow, total galactic civil war :D

Full rules, matchup system, sign up and start dates coming soon.

Me and Vassal have a love hate relationship. I love the idea of Vassal, my mind hates it. Vassal loves me. To play but hates me winning

What you don't realize is that vassal is a secret ISB spy programme, designed to uncover any rebel sympathizers among the Armada crowd. You've been warned.

Hmmm... now that I've thought about it, I have a few questions to ask.

1) Will the teams be drawn out of a hat or selected by the players? A draw might work if the players were organized by experience (1 being the most, 5 the least) and 1 player drawn out of each catagory for each team? (just an idea for fairness's sake).

2) Can there be supporting fleets in a battle (for example, could 2 fleets take on 1?) or will it be just 1 person from 1 team fight another person from another team?

3) I'd like to see a map with all the fleets on and each fleet moving from system to system but doubtless that is all rather too complicated to add right now.

4) The captain organises the usage of uniques like maybe for example; I am an imperial captain and I choose Demolisher and give Clon Isard?

5) Should we be designing lists before hand or waiting to see what side and/or what uniques we are allowed?

6) Can I have Kallus if I'm Imperials?

7) Is the Lord Matt faction using both Rebels and Imperials? Cause I'm in that team if it does.

8) If a unique is destroyed can it be reused next battle? (That a stupid question?)

Just a few things I'm not 100% sure about.

I'm on too! (already sussed with Matt, just FYI to the woooorrrrld, maaaaan!) :D

(and I'll take Imperials as a preference)

One more to round off 30, and then can start signing up Scum and Villainy as the inevitable bounty-hunting subs.

@Viperous all rules will be up soon.

Hey i can play :) whatever you want :) but prefer rebels :)

Ding ding ding!

30!

Great. People may still sign up if they wish.

  1. Any new players will go into a Scum and Villainy group that can play as mercenaries (Substitutes) for registered players who find themselves unavailable.
  2. In the unlikely event that we get 10 more people sign up before midnight Wednesday 13th April GMT I will add 2 more full teams to the event, but assume that further players will be bounty hunting mercenaries.
  3. I need 3 volunteers from both the rebel and imperial side to start recruiting teams of 5. This does not mean you will be captain of the team, the team decides that after they have all joined, but we need recruiters to get the ball rolling. Team Tournament captains or people who've volunteered to be one in this thread are ideal candidates, but it can be anyone.
  4. Full rules go up tonight (I've got to leave for a real life Armada tournament in 5 minutes :) )

And personally I'd like to be a Rebel, but can fill a gap in Imperials if needed.

Imperial Recruiter Reporting in!

I will assemble an Unstoppable legion and END THIS REBELLION!! (not the game, i like the game)

The New Order!
