Armada Vassal 'Deal or No Deal' (TM pending)

By ianediger, in Star Wars: Armada

I'm in. I like the concept and the short time requirement.

I'll take Imperial...... 3! I usually claim 3 is my lucky number, hopefully it doesn't fail me here!

In Imperial 3...

Two ISDs

One GSD

One Raider

One Gozanti

One Nebulon-B

Good luck!

Oooh, one of the double ISD boxes. No squadrons unfortunately. Neb B is one of my favorites, so there's that... Might have to break out the underutilized Glad II here due to the lack of squadrons. :)

Bumping to say that if you want to play, you have one week to ask for a box and make a fleet from it.

I WANT Bossk.

Well this is weird, never thought I would say that

Choosing boxes is now done! Edit: I am allowing Lord Prayer in to balance at 16 players and because he asked nicely. End edit. Pairings have been made and will be announced on Friday evening. Look for a new thread for round one. Good luck, and have fun!

Imperial boxes 5,6,9,10 are still available, as is Rebel box 9.

Thanks guys! May I have Imperial 10 please?

I'll allow you to come in. In Imperial 10...

One Gladiator

One Victory

Two Raiders

One Gozanti

Two Imperial Squadrons

One Nebulon-B

Good luck.

Thats the perfect box right there

Yup, that is going to be a tough one to beat for sure!

GOSH DARNIT AND TARNATION!

That's the expectations game out the window! ;)

I'll allow you to come in. In Imperial 10...

One Gladiator

One Victory

Two Raiders

One Gozanti

Two Imperial Squadrons

One Nebulon-B

Good luck.

Number 10. My favourite home. My favourite bus. My favourite box.

Now, dare I have the mental strength to choose NOT Demolisher...

Sorry gents but I must bow out.

I would sit here and list build all day with the restrictions put up......

But I can't, really... I can't play, and there's no point biasing people's decisions - even unintentionally...

Sorry to see you go, WGNF911.

In other news, I will take some time to go over the scoring table.

As this tourney is played at 200 pts., all mov margins will be halved. Here is the table we will be using.

10-1 200-150

9-2 149-110

8-3 109-70

7-4 69-30

6-5 29-0

The bye will be 8-3 mov 70.

The bye after the first round will be awarded to the player who has the highest mov.

Pairings and the bye will be announced later today.

Dras...

I need all the help I can get...

Lot of preconceptions have to be let go... 3x3 makes things crazy all over the place again. Remembering back to when Victories were just tanks you had to run from or die.

Fabs wasnt giving me Motti as an option.... you make a good case

Well, he's in the Victory Expansion, so I don't know why it wasn't....

Quick question. Are we locked into our list for the tournament or can we change it up with other options in our boxes?

You are locked in for the remainder. (One more round.)

In Rebel 5 is my favorite...

3x Nebulon-Bs

One MC80 Liberty

3x Rebel Squadrons

One R&V

One Interdictor

Good luck!

I'll go ahead and put it out there: If you cannot win with this box you should put your real life stuff on eBay.

:)

Well, I guess I'll start packing my ships. It was fun while it lasted......

I definitely don't think your box was auto-win. Neither the Liberty nor the Neb have a good answer for Demo or Admonition, and there's not much room for squads in a 200-point list to make up for it.

Maybe you should have played Interdictor+Neb though. :huh:

Ok in my defense this was before JJ pulled the MC30s Box of Boom. However, I'd use the Armada trade thread instead. :P

Yes, 3x3. For now, it will be standard objectives, but most likely for the ones that award points, point values will be halved. So contested outpost becomes 10 points instead of 20.
