I think these Vassal events are great for the community.

Thinking out loud, but it'd be cool if the winner of the Vassal World Cup could get the opportunity to buy a Worlds ticket.

I think its unlikely as it'll require official acknowledgement of Vassal/Armada from FFG, and this may open up a legal can of worms.

Agree it would be cool, but also understand why it probably won't happen. But it would be nice if FFG acknowledged the online community somehow, similar to how they did with the fleet build contest they did with wave 3/4.

And Clon is nowhere near America right now anyway.....

Anyone available this Saturday afternoon or evening for a game? I'm in US Central time. I could probably do Sunday afternoon also.

I should be able to do it.

Would Saturday around 7pm Central work? Otherwise I'll have to do Sunday afternoon.

Oh well guess it'll have to go to the runner up...

Alright guys! Here is your opportunity to get a good average score this weekend. I am looking to play a couple of games hopefully. Let me know...

I would play, except I'm at the cabin, with poor internet and only a tiny single screen on my Mac Air. Might have some time tomorrow.

Aresius vs Nebulonb 8-0 (140-0)

Playing advance gunnery. Aresius was the first player.

Aresius vs Nebulonb 8-0 (140-0)

Playing advance gunnery. Aresius was the first player.

8 - 0? Did NebB concede?

CaribbeanNinja vs comatose

9-2 (258 MOV) to me.

comatose took first and chose Superior Positions. He placed his squad force toward the top right and Admonition and Jaina's Light around the middle but angled right. I placed far left to flank with a tight formation. I was able to snag Rieekan's CR90 (Jaina's) through a total bombardment of my ten squads and Demos Red dice by about turn 2. We spent the middle rounds with squadron battles which mine ended up winning in the end. After his squads were gone I was able to kill Bright Hope (**** you bright hope!) the other GR75 and Yavaris. But not before comatose took my Gozantis and Mauler.

Fantastic game that was a lot of fun. comatose is a great player and I look forward to more Worlds practice with him!

(edited because comatose was correct below.) :)

8 - 0? Did NebB concede?

yes, Admonition succumbed to 12 A wings and a fast Liberty with 4 flotillas as carriers. Setting up against that was like playing superior positions. And Aresius manouvered well, I was at a loss from the start, really.

FWIW, been traveling for work so will get active now!

Playing Ardaedhel today. Here is my list:

Ard vs ItzSteve done, 119 MoV for a 7-4 win for ItzSteve!

Turns out Cracken and Bright Hope is SUPER frustrating... Combine that with some super fancy flying on Steve's part, keeping just outside of Defiance 's medium-range Danger Zone against all odds, and Toryn fishing up accuracies every single shot out the TRC90, and it was a nasty game for me. I also played Defiance very poorly--I have her built as a tank to jump into the fray, and I did... other things, that were not that. I skirted the fight with her way too much.

I'm liking the "screw escorts, just take more B-wings" approach pretty well, though. A fighter screen that can also burn down an AF2 in one round is pretty nice--probably worth the points.

I flew this:

Also, do we need to state when we take our Mulligan, or is a 10-1 shellacking pretty obvious? If not, I'd like to erase that mess CNinja handed me........

CaribbeanNinja vs comatose

comatose took first and I chose his Superior Positions.

Yes, I took first, but I chose your Superior Positions obviously. ;) Good game, I like the soft bid for first with this list because it will take first against a lot of fleets, and against hard bids it has other advantages.

I'm looking for more games this week, but it looks like my evenings are limited. Monday at 9pm CST and Tuesday at 6pm CST are currently possibilities.

I'm liking the "screw escorts, just take more B-wings" approach pretty well, though. A fighter screen that can also burn down an AF2 in one round is pretty nice--probably worth the points.

Exactly, though you still appear to be short some Bwings....
