CC VASSAL Coordination

By Darth Veggie, in Star Wars: Armada Organized Play

GK proposes in his houserules a way to discourage turtling.

i have expressed many times that in my opinion the raid mission is fine and the problem is "show of force", as i believe even special assaults should be 50/50 and shouldnt be easier for the attacker . they were deisgned as desperation comeback mechanics, so they should be a high risk high reward play, not a "safe play, good for opening gambit". but since the consensus is different and we already have a proposed solution, i could totaly go with that "buffing hyperlane" solution.

I want to play, not discuss rules.

Other than my comments on RAW I've nothing further to add.

Hyperlane rule doesnt matter. Any imp who makes no attempt to drive in the right direction will be court martialled.

Decide what you like with Rieekan. We will just blow up your ships.

Gk I dont know about campaign points, I let you deal with all that last game. Just make a call and as long as we know before each battle what we are fighting for its all gravy.

Current situation:

  • Hyperlane Raid: 1 pro change, 1 contra
  • Riekaan: 2 pro change of RAW
  • Placement: 2 for interpretation 1base+1outpost during rebel placement
  • Map/booklet: 2 for map over booklet
  • Skilled spacers for immediate retreat: 2 for change of RAW
  • All the other GK stuff apart from secrecy stuff and disbanding/retiring rules: 1 for
  • CP - no one expressed preferences up to now

If everyone is fine with that we decide everything on majority and no one has to add anything we can go on and "play" - at least as soon as somebody makes a decison on CP. I don't care.

please don't count me as a "contra" for hyperlane raid changes. what i proposed was part of a whole different mindset regarding the two missions. "ceteris paribus", i do not object to the change.

proposal for the CP situation: let the two admirals agree on something so we can play.

I'm pro RAW. Gink is pro RAW, no?

I am pro burying rebels into the ground so these semantics remain as just semantics.

Current (final?) situation:

  • Hyperlane Raid: 1 pro change, 1 contra = no change (change of RAW seems to me to have the higher burden)
  • Riekaan: 2 pro change of RAW, 1 contra = change
  • Placement: 2 for interpretation 1base+1outpost during rebel placement = that is it
  • Map/booklet: 2 for map over booklet = that is it
  • Skilled spacers for immediate retreat: 2 for change of RAW, 1 contra = change
  • All the other GK stuff apart from secrecy stuff and disbanding/retiring rules: 1 pro, 1 contra = no change
  • CP - 1 for that Grand Admirals decide = so they will

Does the Imperial team already have a Grand Admiral?

@BrobaFett and @Green Knight : Do we want to switch out team coordination to a different communication platform? If yes, I suggest Whatsapp, but I am happy with any other solution.

GRAND ADMIRAL GINKAPO

Ruler of Corellia, Crusher of Rebellions, Destroyer of Worlds.

We already have fleets.

Do the Rebels have anything? Incompetence on show already.

No. We Rule by Committee. These things take time (once I get the Freshman thing rolling we should be good).

Plus we head a rumor that the Imp GA has a bad internet connection.

I have also heard this. Imps are simply not good considering technology. No wonder your Death Stars blow up so easily!

They spent everything on the Death Start. No credits for HoloNet access.

After I watched RotJ the first time since long, long ago, I am pretty sure that all the remaining money they need for the emperor's personal plastic surgery programme.

One of your ships has two upgrades Matt.. ;)

Could we hear that incompetence comment again, please? ;)

Are you implying that a member of the imperials is incompetent? Matt has been strangled. Jj Juggernauts will be replacing him.

Automatic loss on the 1st battle, then forcibly retirement of fleet. Sad really.

Also note how Matt desperately tries to sate his (unquenchable) thirst for red-die broadsides and rogues :D

They are coming tomorrow morning now to fix it!

The skilled first officer was supposed to be in the last ship, but I think it's more thematic just to eject him from the airlock and play at 399 :)

No, no. You are Vader. You are supposed to let him choke on his aspirations!

So, eh, Grand Admiral Ginkapo is Ruler of Corellia, yada yada yada?

Poor sob. Because he has to face:

GRAND ADMIRAL GREEN KNIGHT!

Liberator of Corellia, Grand Architect of the Rebellion, Spearhead of those two proton torpedoes that are right at the moment going down your ventilation shaft!

And pick up this thrown gauntlet:

We have hot princesses and queens! You have wrinkled old men with aging problems!

My lords! My ladies --

And everybody else here NOT sitting on a cushion:

Today, today, you find yourselves equals.

For you are all equally blessed.

For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure

Of introducing to you a Lord, sired by Lords,

A Lord who can trace his lineage back beyond Alderaan.

I first met him a top a mountain near Jabba's palace,

Praying to the Force,

Asking His forgiveness,

For the Jedi blood spilt by his blade.

Next, he amazed me still further in Endor,

When he saved a fatherless beauty

From the would-be ravishings

Of her dreadful Ravager uncle.

In Naboo, he spent a year in silence

Just to better understand the sound of a whisper.

And so, without further gilding the lily,

And with no more ado,

I give to you the Seeker of Serenity,

The Protector of Endorean Virginity,

The Enforcer of our the Force.

The One --

The Only --

Sir Ginkapo Von Dagobah!!!
