=THE GALACTIC CIVIL WAR= Massive Armada Tournament

By MattShadowlord, in Star Wars: Armada

Also a good test of DeMSU v Rieekan

For those of you not aware, Ninja and I are about to be the ultimate test case for exactly how far you can go with an initiative bid. He's at 373 and using a variant of the dreaded "clonisher." I'm at exactly 400 and using Rieekan. That's a 27 point gap between our lists.

Onca vs Clon too.

That cannot possibly be a match-up Caribbean Ninja picked or wanted.

He was offered up as tribute at the altar of the zombie lord

Ohhhhh will Biggs be commentator on this one?

We will see. Might be a good one to showcase.

That is called "Taking one for the team..."

I get to face a Rhymer Interceptor ball will be a bit dangerous. . . Hmmmm

Is there a time set?

That is called "Taking one for the team..."

And what possibly could have caused the need for that? :P

That is called "Taking one for the team..."

Aka 'not giving JJ first player'

That is called "Taking one for the team..."

Aka 'not giving JJ first player'

Yup. We put them in the position of either eating Rieekan against a high bid list or giving JJ first turn.

Is there a time set?

1030 EDT Sunday morning.

Let's call that a tentative.

Matchups - Ruthless Tacticians offered first.

WhatsArmadaWithYou paired with DabDarklighter

BiggsIRL offered as 2nd Matchup Tribute.

JJs Juggernaut vs Miferr Tuesday April 26th 7:00 PM CDT (GMT -5).

Admiral Screed: CaribbeanNinja vs Truthiness

That is definitely a game to watch - please try to make a log file. Both are very talented players, and the 27 point gap between fleet costs is the largest I have ever seen in a tournament.

I accidentally double booked myself, so Ninja and I will be at 1230 EDT on Sunday instead of 1030. Thanks to Ninja for being so flexible!

I will try and watch for shear fandom of CNinja's Fleet :P

Will do! We've pushed the time back to 1630 GMT Sunday for now.

I cant believe ninja got first player after such a conservative bid!

Looks like Lyraeus and I are on for Wednesday roughly 1900 central/1700 pacific time.

Come see what happens: Do the rebel scum succumb to trench run syndrome this time, or do they pull of an Imperial style victory with their ships?

(Looking at all the Intel officers, I SO wish I'd brought Devastator! ;) )

Lyraeus doesn't play much on Vassal so I've only had one game against him. You're both good players, so don't expect any free points :D

Man, I thought the team tourney was exciting. Fleet-wise and player-wise, there are some REALLY good match ups so far.
