Pregame interview with Task Force Orange -
LTD interviews Matt the Shadowlord, and we end up talking about ourselves more than the game!
Which is nice!

As Matt says at the end there, if he were playing "it would be a foregone conclusion..."
The full, and much more modest, response was, 'If I was playing it would be a foregone conclusion. Lyreaus would win for sure.'
Because he'd have the choice of initiative...
(grumble, mumble, A-Wings, grumble)
Game's on. Looks like it's being streamed here: https://www.twitch.tv/lkhero
This will be a toughie. Turn 1 starting now. I took forever on my last 2 deployments.
Watching now. This is making me dislike vassal even more.
To each his own. I want to use my gorgeous minis. Plus see the despair on the face of my opponent, mbwahahaha!!!
Err, sorry, got carried away. Yeah, don't like vassal. Lol.

We all prefer real life. We all want to us our gorgeous minis. We all want to see the despair on the faces of opponents, and say mbwahahahahah!!
But for playing people outside of your local area, knocking out games in new metas, experimenting with new ships and tactics and making armada friends from across the world, this primitive system is a tool many of us are grateful for and enjoy using.
That I can understand.
Wife has Shanghaied computer, so no more updates for now... Turn 2 almost done, I predict Ackbar dies in turn 3, definitely turn 4.
2 people playing...19 watching
So, I just logged on, and saw one of the MC30s nuke a CR90, and then scoot into the baffles of the Assault Frigate. What turn are we on?
Turn four I think. Only the guppy left, but a 90 and a 30 gone on Lyraeus side, including his admiral.
It sounds like something weird just happened.
90 30 and transport gone on lyraeus, but lyr got the 75 for intel sweep and should end up winning.....
BUT THEN THE VASSAL GODS RAINED DOWN AND TABLED ALL OF LYRAEUS'S SHIPS!
Yeah, no one is sure what just happened. More reasons to dislike vassal....lol. I think this is the vassal equivalent of the table getting knocked over or something....
Maybe Lyraeus just engaged stealth generators....
No ship that small has a cloaking device!
Vassal is a great free open source program, never as good as a real game tho. I like that it's there, but don't play much
Let me guess, the turd got front bumped?
No, Lyr boxed it in between his two shrimps and flanked it with the 90s. Untenable position, and the 80 flew right into it.
Ah, they have solved the difficulties. I guess they got R2 to come in...lol
Ly wins with 48 MoV, so I think a 7-3?
Grats to my opponent. You can find the game here:

Sorry for the sloppy Vassal play 
See where you can find the massive F'ups in this game to help us become better players. gg
