The games on VASSAL are great fun! There is such a pleasant crowd of people there where you can nearly always find a guy for a nice casual or competitve game. I enjoyed playing standard games there for months.

But now I am hungry for more! Since I have played Armada I have dreamed of something else. I want to play a game of 1500 pts per fleet. Are you interested?

When: Friday 15, at 5 PM UTC

Where: VASSAL

Are you interested? Simply raise your hand here and you are in. Firs come. First serve.

I propose the following rules:

• 1500 pt fleets
• One player has to play imps, the other one rebels (I don't care which side; you choose)
• After fleets are composed, being first player is decided randomly.
• We use all the rules for the 6 player CC all out attack with the following exceptions (because each side has merely one fleet and one fleet commander):
• 1. The „allied feets“ rules are ignored
• 2. Hyperspace Reserves: Each player has for reinforcements to set a side 6 small ships (each medium or large base ship set aside substitutes for 2 small ships). Each player can set aside up to 12 squadrons.
• 3. Hyperspace Reinforcements: If you deploy less then your total hyperspace reserves, you may move 1 of your tokens for each 2 medium ships still in your reserve (each medium or large base ship still in your reserve substitutes for 2 small ships).

In addition I propose the following thematic rules:

Imperials:

• Fleet Commander has to be Vader, Tarkin, or Thrawn
• There has to be at least 1 ISD to be in the fleet; this ship has to be the flagship
• You have to include the following squadrons: Vader (if not Fleet Commander), Boba Fett
• You are forbidden to field the following generic squadrons: Firesprays, Jumpmaster 5000, YV-666
• You are forbidden to field more than 4 Aggressors (IG88 counts toward this number)

Rebels:

• Fleet Commander has to be Dodonna, Mon Mothma, Raddus, or Ackbar
• There as to be at least one MC80L, MC80H1, or the Phoenix Home; this ship has to be the flagship
• You have to include the following squadrons: Luke, Biggs, Wedge, Han Solo, Hera Syndulla
• You are forbidden to field the following generic squadrons: Scurrg, HWK, Lancers, VCX, YT1300, YT2400
• Hera and Han get the keyword „strategic“ and „relay 1“ (to compensate the loss of this key word by banning VCX)

So, if you are interested tell me! If you like to tweak the rules a bit further, tell me! SOMETHING BIG IS COMMING!

So my normal squadron accompliment....

Interesting but i dont use vassal, please let the rest of us know how it goes, will certainly be awesome.

I haven't done Vassal either, but I may be coming to the point where I'd like to try it. However, this will probably be a bit too much for me on a first go-round.

I will also be too busy watching The Last Jedi (!) that day.

So, why am I responding to this thread? Because it's 1am(PDT) and I have nothing else to comment on. (Sorry.)

YES YES YES COUNT ME IN I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO THRAWN IN A 1500 GAME!

Great! I love to hear that!

You play Imps I deduce from your comment?

Any further rule twists you would love to see? The time is fine for you?

Time is fine, and rules look great, I can't htink of anything to tweak on!

Then let us build fleets!

Actually just thought!

Thrawn must be on Chimaera, Vader on Relentless, Ackbar on Home One? I'd propose Tarkin on Sovereignity as well but that hasn't been spoiled :/

Good points. But Vader is the Devastator, or isn't he?

Yep, got my head mixed up

I don't know much about Vassal but can you play it on iMac or is it PC only?

It can be played on the mac too. Takes a bit of tweaking, but it is doable. I shall try to dig up the posts about it in the Vassal 3.0.0 thread.

Edit: @Admiral Sylva - I think the post is this one.

No YV666s No Ginkapo
