Ok, so @ryanabt and @moodswing5537 join as a US pair.

Then we have @Undeadguy and @Dorrin314 as another (US) pair.

Sounds good!

@thecactusman17 has expressed a desire to be part of the Euro group.

If any of the Euro players want to play in the US group, let me know. We could do a swap.

If you wish, I can change to a Garm fleet. just say the word......

I've been banned from vassal by the other half at the moment.

They can do that?

Please don't tell my wife...

Slipped my mind over the weekend to send the PM and sign up for this. If you have another odd number, I'd like to sneak in if someone else is also late. If not, no biggie. I'd be a US Rebel player, playing either Madine or Ackbar.

You're in as long as another player steps forward by tomorrow.

If I didn't have new little one arriving in a few days I'd rock a Garm fleet in this.

This sounds like just the thing to get me up to speed on Vassal.... and play against other people...

There will be other opportunities.

I can send you a PM of the list and anything else you need from me. Also are the cards that were shown in the Wave 6 announcement in Vassal already?

You are missing that Tim is Barney and probably also in his partners bad books at the moment for too much armada.

Not only in the bad books but dealing with a two year old covered in chicken pox! Maybe next time.

You do that.

Wave 6 isn't in the module yet. But it's also not tournament legal :)

Galactic Holo-Net News:

This just in!

Due to the large number of players entering the Freshman Spring 2017 I'll be splitting the event into two.

Basically I was hoping for 8+ players, but now fast approaching 30...

So to make things easier for everyone, we'll have one NA (and Australia) and one Euro tournament. 3 rounds Swiss, entirely separate from one another.

That should take away much of the scheduling pressure. This is about learning and building community, so I think it's a wise move.

If you would object/provide feedback on this, do it ASAP, or it will become reality come morning.

---

Then, after we're done, I'll run a new 3 rounds Swiss Tourney.

The top 4 from each group will be qualified (but are oc free to decline if they can't or won't participate).

In addition there will be 4 Wild Card entries:

  • Admiral Congeniality (chosen by popular vote)
  • Admiral Creativitality (player with the most creative list - TO choice)
  • Admiral Crushability (player with highest VP score - not MoV - in any game)
  • Admiral Chanceability (player chosen at random)

More later.

This is a great idea. Thanks again for organising this, GK.

@moodswing5537 has taken up the challenge and is dropping Ackbar in favor of Garm. EVERY admiral is now represented. Woot!!!

I'll get my list to you tonight so long as the TWC outage is resolved by then. No internet is no fun.

Yea I hope it clears up for Mass Effect by tomorrow. And so I can stay in communication for this tournament and actually get Vassal.

Might be able to judge awards as I suspect me snd you may see a lot of the European games (Its Ginks Brits* vs GKs Continentals), and CNinj, JJ, PT and Truth may see a fair few of the NA games.
