GenCon Updates Thread

By shmitty, in Star Wars: Armada

**** me, i need that VSD card in my life. I never gave up running it...is it Top place GenCon kit or another prize kit?

It's pretty nice, plastic card similar to credit card material. It was the prize for players that made it to day 2 and a few more. In my flight the top 19 players all got one.

And here is info about the Corellian Conflict!

Nice write up, I'm thinking stick the stickers to Velcro backings for that ability to reuse.

I've done a lot of kit-bashing for pretty much every game type and I'm leaning on magnetic sheeting for the bottom of the "stickers" (probably by sticking them to token-like cardstock of some sort) and adhering the map to something ferrous, or putting metal under the map sections where magnet need to adhere to. No specifics plans until I get the pieces in hand though. I love me some magnets!

Magnets will let us hang the board on the wall of a gameroom or shop, hopefully.

Are the streaming any of the games?

I don't think so

Are the streaming any of the games?

I think its possible we may get the final streamed at a later date

I'd love some list information about now.

I had no idea that Steve Harvey was into Armada.

But seriously, congrats to everyone who made the cut. Looks like a lot of forumites and one of the Fleet Commander finalists is in there, too!

I'd love some list information about now.

Sorry, just not much to go on. Looks like many players who barely made the cut dropped going into day 2. My last opponent, for example, was primarily here for playing the Imperial Assault tournament today. I'll definitely get fleets for the final table.

Gold plated pole dancer?

Some people have greater ambitions than us mere plebeians.

Norm is flying Rhymer ball with a decked out ISD and a Demolisher with Montferrat, Admiral Ozzel as his commander.

Sounds like a list I saw at Tacoma Regionals

Round 2 Finals standings. Looks like Norm is a strong contender for hitting the top table.

Before I forget, after 13th place all players dropped.

Yea the guy who was 3rd dropped forcing Shmitty and Naboobo2000 to play. . . they are both from Vancouver WA and play . . . poor guys, they will have to do amazing in the next round

I got to play Jeff Berling at Nationals. Good guy.

He's pretty good at X-Wing I believe... anybody know his callsign on the forums?

LOL - I keep hitting refresh hoping for a play-by-play but thanks for posting the sheets! This is exciting!

How many rounds to play?

I'm confined to a cell phone. I will make an effort to give an impartial play by play for the final table, but may have to save it for posting after the match.

How many rounds to play?

Players are currently midway through the finAL round before the top 2 cut.

Wsnt there talk of the finals being streamed and the finaos starting at 4pm est?

Well, I said that I couldn't imagine them not streaming after they streamed many other games at lesser events than GenCon.

No streaming for logistics reasons.

I lost both games today to end up 12th. One close, one not.

The top two are playing similar fleets. Motti, ISD, Demo, Rhymer
