What? You are bringing in your liberty gr75 spam again? You should be really grateful to @MattShadowlord for bothering us again and again with his assault frigates and getting all the spanking for that, otherwise you would be next in line ;)

Ratio of demolisher to imperial players?

Or or should it be, calculate the odds that you would play against someone using demolisher....

It could be my english but maybe you wanted to say:

average number of imperial players with demolisher?

not

Average number of Demolisher per Imperial player?

The big question is:

How many of the new cards average per player and how many players using them out of 46??

Just depends on the maths.

Due to numerous reasons, Sloane has been flipped.

Wonderful things to read after a day at hospital, y'know.

Sloane may or may not get a official FAQ entry - in about 6 months - that contravenes what poor tourney FAQ says.

For this tournament, however, you can't spend a token that Sloane already spent (during that attack oc).

Ok so one of you is wrong. I built my list under the impression that my opponent cannot spend a token after I use Sloane and now the FAQ is saying the opposite.

Straight up, because he is the Marshal, GK is Right.

I personally flipped on Sloane, but GK is the Emperor to my Vader... And my Luke's only 3, so there's no challenge there yet...

So The Vassal Tournament Doc is updated again... And will only get clarifications from this point forward, because I'm really struggling these last few days.

Thank you. You could pass the link to GK if need be. Or one of the judges.

Get better.

Right, but it's read only. I assume Dras is the only one with editing privileges, so he could pass that to someone else if he is in poor health.

"Admiral Sloane - (Vassal Tournament Ruling Only) - Even if the Enemy spends your defense token through the use of Admiral Sloane, you CANNOT spend it to gain its benefit during the same attack. As a "Spend" effect, this can cause an Exhausted Token to be Discarded."

Looks to me like these are the same.

Dras changed it back after I said asked.

Hey look now you're on there twice:

"Admiral Sloane - (Vassal Tournament Ruling Only) - Even if the Enemy spends your defense token through the use of Admiral Sloane, you CANNOT spend it to gain its benefit during the same attack. As a "Spend" effect, this can cause an Exhausted Token to be Discarded. Except for whenever @Undeadguyuses Sloane. He's screwed."

Game's changed a bit. At GenCon, sure enough I got paired against the guy with 22 points at one point. Last torunamnet, somebody beat me by a point. Then scared him (by list design) into giving me first anyway :P

I think letting you go first turned out pretty well for me...?

"Screwed" is not a defined term in the RRG and thus does not change anything

Sorry for any confusion.

My initial reaction to Sloane was that yes, it's a spend, but it doesn't affect the defender's ability to spend.

I felt that the entire section about defense tokens had to be read as one, meaning it applied only to the 'default' use of the token.

However, RAW does not necessarily support this. Assuming FFG knows what they are doing it specifically states a token can only be spent once. Period.

I was sure that's what was in the tourney FAQ as well. If it wasn't, then it's entirely my own fault for not reading it closely enough.

Despite my Marshal status I'm going with whatever @Drasnighta already put into the FAQ!

So if I just said the opposite - I recant and seek absolution for my sins.

TL;DR

Don't mind me. Mind the FAQ, as it was when submitting fleets.

Anyone else just refreshing this thread waiting for the list to see what madness passes through the minds of others?

No one will enjoy playing against my list.

Hope you Rebels brought Officer Leia and Walex...
