Worlds Updates

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Ain't official til it is official, but both players from Table 1 should move on.

All rebels at the top 4.

Feels good, man.

This really is the people's game. We go from Imperials on top at GenCon to 4 Rebel lists at Worlds.

That just means the Rebel players flew better this time!

So looks like it's Steve Forward Firepower, JJs Juggernaut, Brikhause, and Nathan (is he a forumite?) in the top 4 tomorrow! Congrats to the top four, and to everyone else who got to pay, too... Just getting to show up to this event, you're already winning! :)

Many Many squadrons seems to be the flavour of the day

Day 2 6th place. Very happy with the tourney and very great competition. I had to scratch and claw the entire day.

Cheers to the Rebellion. I will be pulling for a rebel to win. :)

Can we now put all the "This is SO OP" talk to rest? :)

GR75- no armament is OP!

(sorry, I'm sad and running a massive block of code on a Friday night...)

The best part of the day for me was meeting all the forum folks in person and getting to know them a bit. JJ, Roquax, Biggs, CNinja. PT106, NathanielSmith, comatose, not the least my roomie Skycake, and many others. A fantastic bunch, each and every one.

Even if they collectively handed my tush to me. :D

Go Rebels!

Edit: Quadro! I forgot Quadro! :P

This is.....very interesting results.

Final standings on day 2?

For the record, it was an independant thought for the uk champ to run a sensor team flagship glad. A glorious thought.

It was a head to head finish.

Nathan had 29 points after round 3. But was playing save i guess.

And for the record:

Destroyed points from final table (nathan vs justin): 20 vs 69 in favor for justin. One transort, two squadrons and two victory token from superior position.

But even if justin would have lost the last match with 5-6 he would be in the cut because of the mov.

Kristjan came out 3rd after a great 10-1 against a team member.

I would have done the same thing as Nathan. When you know you're in with a 5-6, why risk it? You can easily botch things going for a stronger win. I am so stoked to see a pure Rebels final four. Nothing against Imperials. I'm just tired of the "Rhymer and Demolisher are OP" cries.

Not a fan of the all Rebel final four.

Why not? Let the space terrorists squabble amongst themselves - then the Empire will swipe away the sorry remnants when they are done killing each other.

Here's a pic from JJ's semifinal game. Currently turn 2, JJ's fleet is in the upper left side. Admonition has just gone to speed 4.

Rebels have been the superior force on my table for a while now, its nice to be validated as a group.

Also, unpainted fighters at the finals table should be grounds for disqualification.

For consistency here is the board at top of turn 3. I'll try to get a pic at the top of each turn. (Got here late due to an unfortunate scooter accident).

Someone* shut off my morning alarm so I overslept. Heading up to watch now.

Current status - squadron cluster midfield near JJ's fleet. Mid T4. Most Wanted w/ Leia and Yavaris selected.

Current score:

Nathan - GR75 w/ BCC, Hwk, YT-1300

JJs - B-Wing, Dutch

Top of turn 4. The fur ball begins! Justin's Keyan and a B-wing killed JJ's leading flotilla before losing the B-wing. Justin's Dash one-shorted a full health HWK as well.

IMG_2726.jpg

Justin's list is Rebel heroes - dash, Nym, Dutch, wedge,Luke, Jan, and the aforementioned b-wing. Yavaris FC/FCT, Admonition on a torpedo frigate with oe, apt, Lando, and H9's. Two flotillas, one with Rieekan, Leia, and comms net. Other with Adar, boosted comms, and BCC.

JJ's Admonition jumps ahead to ambush Yavaris.

Talon GR75 forced to move into Admonition Fork.
