In more civilized parts of the world it was 8 am on a Sunday morning...just sayin' :lol:

This game is rescheduled for 4 hours from now.

Win GK.

Short version: Ard cold dice (plus forgot that only Admo has H9), Demo hot dice.

Ended with me taking out an MC30, while he took down my raider. But the real game winner for me (other than Demo) was the fact that my MW flotilla simply would not die!

What time exactly is the deadline on friday?

I forgot how much prep went into making a matchup of the week.

Just get your game in.

I may be late starting the streme tonight due to health reaesons.

Nevermind, we are live NOW!

Should be a great game! Logging on now to spectate and heckle :D

JRockNZ vs Roquax (Station Assault)

Win: JRockNZ 260 vs 247

Super close game with Roquax. Would like to thank Roquax for his patience due to several interruptions while playing. It wasn't easy playing 6 activations vs 3. Roquax finished off my ISD and both stations his ISD finished without a scratch. However I was able to take out all of Roquax's ships except his ISD. My Decimators and a kamakazi Gozanti were enough to take out Roquax's Arquiten and Gozanti's.

Highlight for me: Having my ISD actually soak 3 hits from Demolisher and still live long enough to return fire and knock out Demolisher.

JJs vs Miedomeda will take place this Friday the 10th at 4:30 PM CST (GMT -6). We are playing early due to Miedomeda being unavailable all of the next week.

Paul (PT106) and I have finished our game. Rebel victory.

PT killed Ackbar's Frigate, 2 TY2400s and a Z95 Headhunter, scoring 167

I managed to take out an Imperial Star Destroyer and all his squadrons, scoring 211

Thanks Paul for another hard-fought game that could have gone either way.

Zanos vs Gink isnt going to happen sadly. :( The only time it can be done is if I dont sleep at all tonight and thats a step too far. Sorry

Does it require a coin flip? Would an extension in time to play fix the issue?

All night?

How many minutes do you need to ram everything to death? 30?

By the sounds if it, not especially as Zanos is working a lot of overtime. Six day weeks if I am reading right. I've been there its tough.

Ouch. Okay.

You two remember, you made me do this.

Zanos has initiative, so he needs to give me a call - "Hits or Miss"

You should stream the die roll...

I was actually thinking of doing so, for authenticity.

3 dice. Blue anti-squadron. Called if there are more hits than misses, or visa versa.

Does this make sense? If the problem is that one of the two players has a schedule that is quite full the problem is likely to reemerge as soon as he goes to the next elimination round. If it is mostly due to one player, would it not be more sensible for him to concede?

@Matt and pt106: Your match was the one I was more looking for than any other game. Is there a log file? Give it to us! The people demand it!

Demanding log file from Matt and pt106

Zanos did offer to concede at one point. Seemed harsh to me.

It will be worse if he moves on, is still unable to play, and then this discussion gets repeated.

We played Targeting beacons. For better or for worse I decided to split my ISDs to deny Gunnery team advantage and to guarantee to catch those navigating guppies. And so it went. There were some cold rolls in initial squadron exchange (4 YT2400 brought Boba Fett to 1 HP but didn't kill him, Vader never rolled more than 2 hits) so by the end of round 2 everyone but Jendon was dead and I only claimed 2 YT2400s. My first ISD then proceeded to catch Ackbar and got boxed to death by all 3 frigates, however before dying he wounded Ackbar with a front and a side shot and almost killed another AF with a front shot (it survived with 1 HP after the ram). The second ISD then did some navigational wonders to get a double arc of Ackbar round 6 and killed him while surviving with 1 HP left.

An amazing game as usual against a very good opponent whom i'll be delighted to play again.

Yeah, I would hate for this to happen next round too. My work might be this heavy for at least the next month
