Nationals Final Table Troy vs Quynh

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Oh wow, a concede?

Well, if what TTC said is true, MoV doesn't matter, it's straight Win/Loss. And it would be almost impossible for Troy to claim enough points with Demo facing the opposite direction of two CR90s.

Sweet

Thanks for the play by play!!

Fair enough.

I belong to a different school of thought.

Never give up. Never surrender.

I'm normally in that camp. But after two days of high-level competition, their brains are probably fried.

In my mind, Biggs has an old-timey Mid-Atlantic accent.

I have a voice, and a face, for radio.

Or a voice and face for online blogging? :P

Man... I wanted more play by play... Oh well, thanks again Biggs

Because they haven't made a screen large enough to handle that 'stache

Yeah, I mean, I have no idea what happened in this game, or exactly what every ship and squadron did, every round.

YT-2400s are the best squadrons. They are a piranha pack that just guts most other squads with their alpha strike, as they have 32 blue dice that reach out a foot. It's tough to beat them!

Grats Q! Reading this was great - there were some very exciting moments.

Thanks Biggs, and congratulations to Q!

It's cause we are all sitting at work reading about nationals instead of participating in them haha

Like I've said before, where did they post any of the information about Nationals? Or is it restricted access to Store Champ/Regionals finalists? Hell, they don't even have the prize kit posted anywhere I've seen.

That, and it's a tournament on a Wednesday and Thursday. That was just not smart scheduling.

There was no information posted on it. Only that it was going to be held at Origins for Nationals, and GenCon for North American Championships.

At which point, nothing else was said.

It was not restricted, you just had to go to the Origins and/or GenCon pages for any further information, which itself was sparse.

There was no info on the Prize Kit Posted - ANd that applies to ALL of the games. Not even X-Wing knows what their Prize Kit is yet.

And then, Wednesday and Thursday. because it was Origins deciding on it.

The *GOOD NEWS* from it... Is it will be different next year, when everything is out of whack by a few Months due to the change in the FFG OP status, and Star Wars games are on their own Store/Regional/National/Worlds track, rather than everything else.

But yes, at the moment. There should be a TON OF FEEDBACK - of the Negative Kind - Sent to FFG on the relative level of "Organisation" of these events. Because it has been Disappointing.

Attention Major Rhymer and Demolisher, please come to the front desk. Your OP crown is henceforth surrendered to Mothmanition and YT-2400's. That is all.

This build is more of a decent counter to the most played archetypes than an OP fleet. It's also quite hard to get 10-0s with it.

I played something similar at our local regionals a month ago, and lost horribly in my last match against the DeMSU point leader because it's very high stakes, and everything can go down the drain very fast if you make the slightest mistake.

Edit : it is however a lot of fun to play, Mothma rerolls + rogue control of the board is a very, very frustrating combination for your opponent.

Sorry, didn't actually mean to imply it actually was OP: yay internet!

What I do mean to say is IceCube is proving himself again to be a meta-shaking, excellent Armada player that shuts t3h internetz up! History belongs to the contrarians!

I wish. But the YT swarm is just so much more expensive to obtain than Rhymer and friends or Clonisher. The Mothmanition though-now there's something

Thank for the play-by-play! I enjoyed it on part of my road trip this morning

Aye, no stream, Thursday morning... in the kind words of the virgin Mary, WTF

Yeah, $160 for eight squadrons is steep, especially when the rest are useless in large numbers.

Coming from a guy who has six of them. . .

I think it is going to remain competitive through the next two waves though. Although I'm happy with my 3 rogue packs and the help of a generous friend in times of tourney ;)
