Vassal Freshman Spring 2017 Tournament

By Green Knight, in Star Wars: Armada

Missing objectives from @itzSteve and a valid list from @GiledPallaeon , but otherwise good to go!

Of the 21 lists submitted, there are 14 Imperial and only 7 Rebel!

EVERY Imperial Admiral is represented, even Konstantine, Tagge, Tarkin and Vader.

The Rebels have far fewer players, so there are some holes there: no Ackbar, Cracken or Garm.

Imperial 14
Rebel 7
Jerjerrod 2
Konstantine 1
Motti 4
Ozzel 3
Screed 1
Tagge 1
Tarkin 1
Vader 1
14
Ackbar 0
Cracken 0
Dodonna 1
Garm 0
Madine 2
Mothma 1
Rieekan 2
Sato 1
7

@Captain Weather is our only Aussie player AFAIK. He's opted to be part of the US group round 1.

@thecactusman17 is US based, but has requested a spot in the Euro group round 1.

We could REALLY use one more player.

That way there won't be a bye.

So if anyone feels the call... PM me ASAP. I'm even willing to accept a more experienced player if that helps even the number.

I haven't even had a chance to try out Vassal yet, but I suppose I could go for it. I'll at least act as a punching bag so whoever would've had the bye can get an easy win instead :D

I'll need a moment to throw a list together, if that's OK.

Throw a list together and PM it to me (including objectives).

Then go watch my video tutorials (1st post here). The explain what you need to know.

If you still need another player, I can do it.

May as well just jump in.

We're 22 now.

If 1 more steps forward you can both join.

I'm really excited about this much new interest! Great job GK!

I don't know if I feel relieved that there are no ackbars and only 1 sato or if I cry that there are all Imperial admirals

Nah it's not a huge deal.

If someone is dying to get in sure I'll even it out, but I'm not asking for a spot.

Or if someone drops before the start I'll jump in.

Could be someone steps forward. @Ginkapo sent out a call.

@Villakarvarousku is a sporting chap and has entered a Rebel Cracken fleet!

Still room for a couple of brave Rebel commanders I'd say :D

Ackbar anyone? Garm?

I like your equal opportunities approach to commanding a fleet .

@GiledPallaeon found the bug in his fleet - he was charging himself 10 pts extra pr ISD-I :D

This means we're ready to generate matchups. Due to the number of players in each group, it looks like @thecactusman17 will have to stay with the US group.

Sometimes you need to consider the worth of things, not their costs ;)

I'll leave it until tomorrow to generate round 1.

If any stragglers want to join by then they are welcome. But they must join in PAIRS. And preferably as Rebels :D Ok, that's not really a requirement. But the pair thing is.

If you need another US CST time zone, I can play. Use me as an alternate if you need to even out the numbers. I will join just because I hate Byes THAT MUCH!

But in all seriousness, I really do want to help folks learn Vassal to grow the community....

Wow, can't believe I didn't see this at all between the time it went up and today...the day after it closes.

Good luck all. I hope to be in next time!

Ackbar has his eye on those external racks..

There are about eight versions I have floating around of that fleet, and they converge to very similar ISD builds. I'm not at all surprised I got them mixed up. I refuse to apologize for when I awoke, I'm on break ******.

Ha! I didn't read about still joining.

Anyone able to pair with me? I am US Central Standard Time, but am actually more available during the daytime CST. Starting in April I will be available at almost any time.

I can pair with you @ryanabt ...
