Game completed, Paindemic over Maturin, 400-113. MoV 287.

Maturin was great fun to play against. I had early bad rolls with black dice (3 blanks OE into 3 blanks?) but my later Ackbar red dice made up for it. I got a lot more shots against him than he did against me due to him being just inside my range or me just outside of his, except for poor Admonition, which got attacked by his entire fleet one round - even Admo cannot survive that much hate lol.

Great game Paindemic, I was eager to bomb the heck out of your shrimps, but the lack of BCC really put a crimp in that plan!

UPDATED: Log File Here!

@Green Knight what should I do?

JJs Juggernaut (1st Player) vs Comatose

Objective: Fighter Ambush

425-124 (301 MoV)

Win for JJs Juggernaut

Comatose outbid me, but did so to choose second player and have me choose from his suite of objectives. I picked Fighter Ambush, hoping my fighter-bomber wing would be able to win the squad fight over his more bomber heavy force. I closed in on one flank with my TRC90s, which drew a Yavaris activation, resulting in the loss of one of the two TRC90s. This did pull his squadrons farther from the station though, and when I pushed my squads into the fight Jan was isolated due to Luke needing to make the final bombing run on my doomed TRC90. After taking out Jan, I was able to hold down Comatose's squadrons which also managing to bomb his Yavaris and Assault frigate, adding my ships' firepower as well. The rolls started hot for Comatose and cold for me, but switched hard as the game went on. I had two flotillas end with 1 hull remaining each, as well as all of my remaining X-wings. Thanks to my opponent for a great game, and for being able to reschedule when I had a personal conflict come up!!

This was a fun game that I had been hoping to someday get - a shot at a World Champ. JJ is as gracious as he is skilled, a fun person to play Armada against. I'd like to think it was a closer game than the score indicates, and some brutal performances from squadrons' blue dice on turn 3 really hurt my chances of keeping pace. At the very least, his fleet did demonstrate a build concept I've been kicking around in my head as quite strong.

Hey @CaribbeanNinja , sent you a PM but hadn't heard anything, just pinging here to see if maybe the box was full and see if you wanted to schedule a game. I am really looking forward to playing you!

Sorry, been busy.

Only Matt has withdrawn, leaving us with an odd number of players.

So that means you're unfortunately the recipient of a round 3 bye.

Was hoping to avoid that, but alas.

We could always play a casual since you drew a bye

Yeah, what Broba said. I'd be willing to play Giled a game, just so he has a shot at playing. . . maybe it'd count towards his score?

Wow! Sounds like a great game!

It was! It started as a nervous dance where Dorrin and me didn't engage, but maneuvered to be in perfect position. During this phase of the game I had to compensate the Solar Corona drawback. Dorrin tried not to give up on the option to strike wherever my quick fleet happened to be. I split up my fleet: Admo preparing for last/first on the pelta, Forsight trying to prepare for the same, but one or two rounds later and on Yavaris. And in addition: My quantum storm tried to cycle his fleet for a double ram on the Rieekan-Lifeboat. It took to the beginning of round 4 before the bloodshed started. In the end I was way to greedy. I hoped for a tabeling. But Dorrin is not a player easy to table. I should have disengaged in round 5. I didn't. For that, I lost in round 6 by a MoV of 2 points.

Funny statistics: In this battle 6 flotillas participated. 4 died. A total of 15 flotilla hull went for good - 11 of them due to ramming fun!

Here is the log file of my battle against @Dorrin314

P.S.: And here is the link to my round 2 game against @Rocco79

@Plagueis haven't heard from ya bud. Hope everything is going well post-Euros. Please check your inbox.

Weird. I definitely responded. (Can't speak for Plaguies) Maybe we are having a forum issue with PMs?

You can't. They are secret at this stage.

Let me see when I have time, and if you're online then we can set something up. Unfortunately that won't be likely (me having time outside specific dedicated slots) until the end of July.

@BiggsIRL vs @thecactusman17 scheduled to begin in approximately 45 minutes.

I have never seen two MC80s get aced in a single game, but...

@thecactusman17 wins 440-20. (400 MOV due to cap)

Edit: When I say aced, I mean FULL to DEAD before they could activate again.

For those of you having terrible rolls, ask your doctor if rolling 20 dice in one attack step is right for you.

Request: Neither Biggs nor myself got a log of the game. If anyone watching our game got a log, please send me a pm.

How in the name of God? Full hull, or full everything ?

The Endeavor got first/last from Devastator, and ate 3 damage in the first attack (7 damage, braced to 4 / Derlin'd to 3) on a side arc, then ate 9 damage (remaining Brace Accuracied, XI7 Redirect, Derlin) to take 7 to hull. Then hit with 3 + an accuracy from the side arc.

Home One had a single point of hull damage thanks to ramming the Pelta. It took 12 dice (4 Red / 8 Blue). 12 damage and 1 accuracy. XI7s meant I could redirect 1 damage. (4+1 shields, 7 hull).

let's see. The Lib lost shields, and then was smashed to a single hull point left which was finished with a hit from the side. The Home One rammed into the Pelta for a single hull point trying to escape. It also shot me enough to let off the last defense token. It had full shields on all sides.

I then threw 16 dice at it, hit with everything, and rolled an Accuracy as the very last die to lock the brace. Which punched straight through the shields and killed it instantly.

Seriously.
