World Cup Qualifier - Rule and Signup Thread

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Weather has cancelled my plans for my Saturday morning. Drop me a PM if you'd like to get a game in between now and 12pm CST (UTC-5).

PT106 vs Comatose just ended with 457-73 (MoV 383, 10-1) in my favor.

I was flying the same double ISD, Raider, double Gozanti build vs Comatose Rieekan Aces (Yavaris, Salvation, Bright Hope, Transport + Luke, Wedge, Dutch, Jan, Nym, BWings), so it was a challenging match.
Comatose won the initiative bid and was a first player with us playing Most Wanted.
It was a very challenging game with a lot of high-stake decisions and complex maneuvering. I lost my Slicers flotilla pretty early to bomber strike as well as a supporting Raider (it was pretty damaged, but managed to fly away at 2 HP only to be finished by a rear shot from Salvation (those Spinals ARE good).

However with multiple front shots from ISDs I managed to kill both Yavaris and both transports turn 3 (still after being double-tapped by Nym with friends and losing the brace), and finished off Salvation next turn with my ISD barely surviving at 2 HP (with a lot of luck on my side as Bright Hope lost a squadron command to Comm Noise crit as well as Salvation being out of front arc shots the whole game by the tiniest of margins. Otherwise it would've gone the other way pretty fast I think).

Overall a very challenging game (and a good test) vs a good opponent whom I'll be delighted to play again.

If anyone needs more games, I'm willing and able.

Just take into account my timezone is +2.

need a game tomorrow night at or around 2030mst if possible

Only 2 more left, and worlds is right around the corner. If you are on the bubble, get your games in!

On the off chance that I screw up and can't update this quickly enough, if multiple players qualify before I post the update closing this event, all players that met the qualifications will get it, even if that means more than 12 get it.

Only seems fair.

Unfortunately I've been unable to participate in this up til now, but I'm glad to see so many tiny ships going ka'splooey! :D

I am available for a game this Thursday 10 AM - 5 PM PDT (UTC-7) if someone needs to get a game in.

Need games this week around 2030 mst, pm me

Great game vs SkyCake. It all came down to the objective, which really created some tense play. I was able to nab the third objective token right before SkyCake, though I sacrificed my TRC90 objective ship to do it. The game was one intense squadron fight with my insane number of hull to Sky's Yavaris powered B-wings are Rieekan aces. I actually shot squadrons with my TRC90 before it died instead of ships, thanks to Toryn providing rerolls. In the end I was able to take out all of Skycakes squadrons, though it cost me my X-wings, my HWK, and two Y-wings. Very little bombing happened, 3 B-wing attacks, and 5 Y-wing attacks, almost all of which produced hit/crits for both of us. Our squadron rolls were hot and cold, with one X-wing and HWK taking 8+ dice to take off the last HP. I was able to get Yavaris to two hull, and Sky's Bright Hope to one. On my side of the table, I had to burn Bright Hope's scatter to survive several attacks, but otherwise the battle was between the squadrons.

Special thanks to SkyCake for being a great opponent!!

On a side note Biggs, I noticed Matt Antilles and my game (6-5 win for him reported on previous pages) wasn't recorded on the latest summary. I also believe this win would "qualify" me unless I have my math wrong (entirely possible at 2:30 AM). I know I have a spot reserved, but I'd like to feel as if I earned it as well as have my name in red if possible! :P

I have no recollection of playing vs. Matt. I think this may be an erroneous entry. Maybe he played vs. someone else?

Wasn't aware that ICT hadn't signed up, but I was already qualified at that point so it doesn't matter.

Oh, and good work on the CAPITALS (next time, make 'em BOLD too!)

That's it! The Matt vs GK game should read Matt vs JJ. Problem solved.

Would like some more games, any night this week please starting after 2030mst

skycake vs pt106 9-2 for the cake! mov 269

Should have been, I've got a post about it in the thread. (Not that life hasn't shut me out of playing. :P )

I'm suddenly available this afternoon if somebody wants to come fight me for that last spot. :)

How can Comatose both be qualified and not?

You're editing skills are not impressive...

Got no takers this afternoon, so I decided to spend the time writing at length about my silly ideas instead .

If I'm not mistaken, a point is in order, Biggs. Particularly since I've linked you in my sidebar. :)

And that, boys and girls, is 12 players qualified. That's it for this qualification event!

Skycake resoundingly scores his win to clinch slot #11, and Ardaedhel gets his +1 the hard way, writing a great article on deployment advantage - specifically how it is not always such an advantage as we might think.

The final bonus has been unlocked as well - the Commander Congeniality award is provided to SoonerTed, who played the most games out of all players who weren't able to qualify. Check your messages for the final Secret Prize!
