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.

@itzSteve has submitted his objectives. Waiting for @GiledPallaeon to correct his list. @Villakarvarousku has joined as player no. 22.

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...
