Vassal Autumn 2017 Tournament (official thread)

By Green Knight, in Star Wars: Armada Organized Play

Congratulations @Roquax!

I would like to thank all the participants of the Vassal Autumn 2017 tournament!

It's been a great one. A lot of exiting lists and great matches. Almost no cancellations and dropouts, which is a great achievement in itself.

I will certainly use this template for later tourneys (but not for a while, let's focus on the WC!)

A big cheer for the winner @Roquax and his dastardly 6-activation Yavaris list!

I would suggest you all take an extra look at the winning list, and the SEMI-final game vs @Tokra.

It shows some great synergies between activations, Yavaris, Gallant Haven, Relay, and exiting use of Corran Horn, and what can only be called an unorthodox squadron mix (but when you look at t more close it's quite a thing of beauty).

The game with @Tokra was a semi-final. The final game was against @GiledPallaeon and the logfile is here:

Basically our game was something like the final game :P. I Knew that whoever comes out as winner of this will have the best chance of winning the final as well (you even more than me).

You are correct - it helps that I did play both of the other semi-final players. Regardless, your list was one that gave me a little pause - and it our game was a great chess match.

And it is still the game where i am thinking: what could have done different, and how could the outcome be.

For example: in the last turn, what would have happend when i did not go for Luke and Corran with my squadrons, but for the Bomber side (Ten Numb, Gold and Dagger Squadron). i might have taken down all 3. And the ISD would have been save for one more turn.

It was one of these games where you can think about for long time :P.
