When is the first round supposed to end and when does the second round start? I will be unavailable from 5-24 to 6-2 because I'll be in Cancun and travelling.

The 17th is the last day.

We are finishing tonight.

@SilentSteve vs @Matt Antilles ends 10-1 to me (450-37)

Steve won the toss and chose to go first, he chose my Capture the VIP. He set up his AF and Yav to charge at my flotillas that were going to grab the VIP and run, and his CR90 coming on the right flank. I set up Admo in front of Yav and the AF, my CR90 on the same flank as his, and my Lib set up to charge up the left flank. Early Round 2 he hit my Awings hard and killed Shara and wounded Tycho. Since he didn't have Intel, he had to kill Shara to get at the Mc30 he was trying to bomb. Due to Shara's counter, Tycho coming in to shoot it, and some flak, I was able to kill Dagger squadron Round 2 I believe. This helped to reduce the bomber damage a lot since there was now only 1 Bwing on the board. I pushed my Liberty hard up the flank at the end of Round 2, ready to smash some stuff at the beginning of Round 3. Round 3 he activated Yav first since I had a medium range shot on its side from the Lib, and he did some damage with the bombers, killing my flotilla. The Lib then put the hurting on Yav, but left it at only 1 hull and then rolled 2 Accuracies and 5 hits into the tail of the AF, which had 2 damage from the earlier round. This allowed me to H9 a hit and block all his defense tokens; which was just enough damage to allow me to double ram it to death. I think this turned the tide heavily in my favor, because his main carrier and flagship was now dead. Tycho got the clutch kill on Yav at the end of the round. Admo took a beating from bombers and ship fire. Next round I killed his flotilla with Admo, and our CR90s traded fire. I was also able to put some rounds into it from the side of my Liberty. His CR90 had 1 hull left and was right next to Tycho (who hadn't moved since being sent in to shoot Dagger) and he tried for a second clutch kill in a row, but failed. First activation of the next round and Steve flew his CR90 out of range of everything. My Jaina had a squad command set up, and Tycho flew in and got the kill on his last ship. I realized it afterwards, but he had forgot to use his Reinforced Blast Doors on his Corvette. If he had, his CR90 would have gotten away, and the final score difference wouldn't have been so high.

Final tally: I killed all his ships, he killed one of my flotillas and Shara. I escaped with the VIP.

A very fun and intense game with a great opponent!

Yes. Missed that one. Got it cleared up. Move along, this is not the missed scheduling we're looking for.

BrobaFett and comatose has finished! BrobaFett took the win 244 to 100 for an MoV of 144. We played my Station Assault. On deployment, he left me a corner for one station, so I put them both near there with my squadrons and ships set up to defend them. It was a tense fight, but in the end he took down Yavaris, both flotillas, and both stations. He lost Suppressor with a Raider surviving only due to 5 blanks on reds across two turns. All of his Defenders died as well. BrobaFett was a great opponent, I look forward to playing him again sometime.

Log files (second one only has end state)

[Edit: No Raiders died, just one Gozanti. Points were right thanks to @CaribbeanNinja ]

Thanks for the awesome game Comatose! I had a blast, and look forward to the next time we run into each other accross the table.

Also, Comatose is such a gentlemen he doesn't capture how close this was. If his Assault Frigate had a squad command instead of concentrate fire on the last turn so he could move bombers into range then my ISD would have been sunk as it finished a smoking wreck. That AF by the way, was the last ship standing and escaped with 1 hull because a Raider whiffed it's black dice roll to trigger APT.

Literally the game was on the knifes edge the entire time and was just as likely to be a huge win for either of us. That's the best kind of Armada game, win or lose!

Thanks to the peanut gallery that watched to and made every move even more tense

@CaribbeanNinja vs @thecactusman17 has finished. CaribbeanNinja wins 7-4 with 94 points MOV (CN 350 - TCM17 256). We played my Most Wanted.

This was an intense back and forth game of daring, risky plays that resulted in ships flying off the board on both sides, including my own Demolisher (which was Sliced out of navigate options at the last minute). However, to preserve his fleet Ninja had to sacrifice his own Most Wanted Demolisher to kill the Devastator ISD.

However, with the Caribbean Demolisher out of the picture the game rapidly swung back in my direction until Ninja beat feet in with a Slicer Tooled Gozanti, which combined with Admiral Montferrat on General Tagge's raider to prevent me from getting a last second desperate hit with my own Most Wanted Gozanti.

This was one of my most exciting games yet playing my current list, and I'll be looking forward to my next game vs @CaribbeanNinja .

Round 1

Rankings

I have no intention of withdrawing. I just couldn't find a time that worked for my opponent last round and felt since it was my schedule that was so busy that I'd take the forfeit. Not that I have a shot at this point but I am looking forward to my next match.

Players will now be paired randomly with another player with the same number tourney points.

If there is an odd number of players, like in the top where 5 players have 10 pts, one of those players get paired with a random player with the next most tournament points (in this case a guy with 9 pts).

And remember, you can't play the same opponent twice (relevant from round 3 on).

Excellent.

You also have just 1 point less (and the same MoV) as those that got 10-1ed.

So anything is possible. Well, maybe not everything, but you can definitely only climb up from here

Biggs won 7-4 with 77 MOV.

Safe to say, no one else will even get close to beating him. JJ has already crapped his pants out of fear because he also scored 7 pts.

Well...****...
