Did you get to watch it? I won a crazy game vs evergeen squadron podcaster Travis!

That triple Wookiee list is mean (thanks @Incard for inspiring me to run it). Even with tractor beams and stress it manhandled Asajj and the TLTs. Travis didn’t like his opening — said he should have played Asajj faster - and there was one key roll where his y wing blanked out a range three defense roll (with a focus) — and died to blank blank hit :/

And there was the turn when your 1 hp wookiee survived a TL/Glitterstim shot, then the bizarre round when Asajj almost cleared her 3 left turn, but didn't, so only 1 of 4 ships on the map moved. Near the end, it looked like Travis might find a way to start popping those Auzitucks. He really had a chance and it was closer than the 100-0 score made it seem. Sozin had only 6 hp left spread out among his 3 ships; that means Travis did 21 points of damage vs the 26 Sozin did. A great game!

I watched the first 4-5 rounds (turned in around 1 am). I wish I had watched the entire thing. The shadowcasters won it 100-57, so I assume that only Assaj was left standing.

I think you're looking at a different game. Sozin with 3 wookiee liberators beat Travis with Asajj and 2 tlt thugs by a final score of 100-0.

Yup. Different game.

Any news?

I'm 2-1 in my group. Only 300 MOV though which is kinda bad and has me at 2nd place even though the 1st place person has 1 less game in than me.

Faction standings for my group:

Rebels 1-0

Scum 4-4

Imperials 2-3

I'm 1-0 against scum and 1-1 against imperials running scum all 3 games.

Had a mad game this evening that came down to 5 hp of Stressbot versus 4 hp of Ketsu when my opponent went too far into the corner and off the board 3 rounds before the game would have gone to time. Very close one! I'm 3-1 now, with relatively good MoV, might make the jump to inner rim this season if I keep it up so I can get totaly destroyed there!

I'm also 3-1 now after a super crazy game tonight, with an even crazier ending.

Round 18 had my Kath at 2 hull vs IGC at 2 hull and IGB at 1 hull. My 4 straight just cleared IGC for a 5 dice rear shot. He had focus and evade though. I got 3 hits/crits after rerolls and then he rolled 2 blanks for me to get a crit through. Crit was direct hit to kill IGB.

Round 19 was a guessing game for both of us. If I have no shot or my shot is dodged he wins by 4 point difference. Luckily I guess correctly what he'll do and I get a range 1 front shot to kill him for the win.

I just have to share this with you guys!

So I finished a conference, and showed up at the airport early, but my flight was delayed. So what do I do? Play X-wing, of course! How cool is it that I can play X-wing while I'm waiting in an airport?! One of my opponents wanted a game, so that's my 3rd league game. So far undefeated with 4x TIE strikers + Cygnus (usually a Lambda, but this time I brought a Gunboat). Lots of games to get in during the next 3 weeks.

Anyway, just wanted to share my joy and gratitude for Vassal. Mu0n, and your brilliant team: thank you, thank you! You're awesome! And thanks for the Vassal League administrators and sponsors!

From the matches I've played (plus other pickup games on Vassal) it seem that the Scurrg (particularly the PS3 generic) has replaced the Jumpmaster as the Scum faction's go to generic. I've been seeing a lot of 2-3 Scurrgs with Deadeye + Harpoons + trimmings.

on the 29.10. it was 117 Scurrgs vs 112 Jumpmasters. I wait a bit until the new games post-FAQ are in until I have another look

I need to give a shout out to my Unknown Reaches Elom 5 bracket. Some of the best matches and friendly play I’ve experienced on Vassal or anywhere really.

Crazy enough, in my 7 games played I haven't faced any pilot - both uniques and generics - more than once.

Sadly I'm on the verge of a major vassal league fail. I was 3-1 in my first 4 games. I'm 0-3 with one to go in my second 4 games. If I lose that one I'm an utter failure.

I've gone 2-0 so far, with an MoV of 376, which is pretty fantastic. You'd think that taking a Ghost with Gunner and Dash would provide consistent dice, but I've been all over the place.Some turns I'll totally blank out, only to make up for it by 1-shotting a ship with no mods the next turn. It's been wild, and I'm excited to really get into my next 6 games and hopefully move up the rankings.

So far I've avoided any meta-lists (even though no-one's sure what the new meta really is), and have flown against roughly equally janky lists. I'm tempted to try something off the wall for my next game like 4 Lambdas or a Feedback array Z-95 swarm, but we'll see if I chicken out.

My season is now over. Had my last game tonight. Got the win to end my 3 games losing streak and finish 4-4.

Considering I'm in Inner Rim for the first time I think that's respectable. Had a lot of close games so could have done better, but also could have done worse.

The Slack interface is simply awesome.
I'm 5-2 so far, one more game to play. I play whatever I feel like but have been playing Asajj a lot - my last opponent decided to change his Expertise Rey to VI instead, guessing I'd play Asajj again (of course) and didnt want to have his 4 pt EPT shutdown the whole game. Was a good game though, won it hard at 100-85 - the little Z95 that could, launched his Cruise missile at Miranda and finished off Rey with a silly lucky Hit+Crit at range 3 both going through and major explosion triggering for the final hull on the YT1300... Crazy stuff~

Really enjoying the Vassal league, though many gave up on it - not playing games, not giving sign of life, etc. too bad for 'em!

There are some super sweet looking target lock tokens going out to league contributors; I'm looking forward to that!

My second loss (4-2 now, no chance of winning and low chance of advancement, high chance of staying in my tier!) is a prime example on how to outplay alpha strike lists, well played by Kelrien!

I'm 3-0 with a MoV of 552, which is pretty absurd. Running a Ghost and Dash has been awesome fun, and my opponents never fail to surprise me with intriguing lists.

It's just sad that I'm in Australia, since the vast majority of players have an 8+ hour time lag on me, so getting games in has been a chore.

I finished 4-4. I had a lot of great games with cool opponents.

The Vassal season was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing in my division - the games were fun and the competition top notch. I only wish there was a cut or playoff round but that doesn't really matter.

Interdivision match between AsGThor and myself. Only 1 of us can go 8-0 as we battle for lead of the Outer Rim. It will be streamed live at 9:00pm PST. https://www.twitch.tv/scifighter1
