Match-up of the Week - You Come at the King, You'd Better Not Miss

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Truthiness decides to claim the bounty on the despicable rogue that has usurped the World Championship Title - JJs Juggernaut.

Sunday! (Sunday!) ((Sunday!)) 1pm Eastern.

You'll pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!

(Watch it in Vassal, folks. I am working until 3pm and cannot stream it.)

Click on poster for pre-match hype.

Extremely interested, I will try to be there and watch.

For us europeans, EST time should be GMT -5 and thus game should start at 1800 GMT.

Hahaha awesome poster. The cocked head and the overall "niceness" make for some second level intimidation.

"Oh you wanna piece of this?"

Extremelly disappointed in the lack of h9s on Truthinesses fleet.

I am also working till 6pm Sunday, so will be driving home whilst they are playing!

H9s are for cowards. Yup, I said it.

In seriousness, this just the latest evolution of my long running B-Wing madness. I was curious how it would stack up against JJ's list. I asked him for this game after his Day 1, but before he had won it all. Now that I've seen how smart H9s are to include, I've started to re-look some of my other stuff. However, for this game I would consider that unsportsmanlike list tailoring. Like everyone JJ faced at Worlds, I have what I have.

Wait,

This isnt about comprehensively destroying the world champion with an unfair match up?

No, it still is. :)

And here I thought this would be a low-key friendly matchup... :P

Me too. That's what I get for blabbing to Biggs. I hope everyone is ready for plenty of small children interruptions =)

Why would anyone tell me about a matchup between a World Champion and The Only Player To Beat Me At A Regional, tell me the time, and not expect me to make it a matchup of the week. And make a new thread for it instead of hiding it away in the Steel Squadron Quarentine Thread.

And consider swapping a shift so that I can stream it on twitch.

It is like you don't even know me.

I wouldn't complain, if one of the participants hadn't been party to haranguing me and CNinja for taking our time in a certain Twitched game a few months back... *waggles eyebrows*

Aren't you still playing that game? I don't remember it ending. Ever.

It's watching threads like this that changed my attitude towards Armada. From playing a game twice each wave against whoever I could drag into my casa de chaos (read: gaming table in the midst of several small children), to driving across my state (with previously mentioned younglings in tow) to do a regional tourney just to see if the hype is real. The friendly, competitive jabs scattered within thoughtful strategy talk is what I miss much about being an athlete.

Thanks for the taste fellas.

We switched to Play by Email. Some say it will never end.

It was the game that wouldn't end,

Yes it goes on and on my friends,

Ardhaedel started gaming it by bringing zombie vettes,

With Ninja he'll be playing forever now I guess

Because

It was the game that wouldnt end

It drove the commenters round the bend...

I'm set by the way. Tarkin takes squadron tokens. Your move.

OK, I have installed Vassal and Armada mod. Could some please tell me how can I watch the game? Do I need hyperlink or sth to connect to the right server?

I have finally watched finals game. Nice flaying from both players, congratulations and thank you. I have learned few things and I hope to learn sth today as well.

Couldn't make the game but I hope someone made a log file!!

What happened?

Game just ended. I didn't make a log (per usual), but maybe a spectator did. I was second player, we played contested outpost. I won 420-183. I lost my assault frigate and exactly half my squads (4 Ys, 1 HWK, 1 YT-1300). I tabled Truthi on turn 5 after running down and ramming his commander boat to death. At that point he had 8 hull of squads left on the table. We each got one contested outpost token.
