Made some minor tweaks:

Dropped the plain TIE, added insitgator and exp hangars on the raider (but maybe it belongs on the gozanti?), plus I took jamming field instead of comms net. Maybe my squadrons can be a little more viable now. Finally Entrapment Formation! instead of STM!

Feedback before it becomes official?

[...]

I'd love to give you unofficial feedback!

Is it possible to kill an upgrade (comms net)? I thought the (in this regard stupid) rules prevent this. If it is possible, I might change a bit as well.

Lol.

Nothing terribly secret here - discuss!

Never mind, is that the final fleet GK?

We ready to post the others?

Anyway, here they are, ready for the Reb assaults as soon as GK confirms his fleet posted above.

I assume that this one still has Boosted Comms.

Mon Mothma Round 4
Ackbar Round 4
Sato Round 4
The normal rules (FAQ one) allow to scrap ships at will, but i didn't find anything about upgrades as well, was not sure if you can just scrap them.

About the Diplomats, we will say later today (Friday) where they are celebrating this round.

I'm fine with allowing uograde removal.

Any opposed?

And yes boosted.

There are some rumors, that the Diplomat from Drall is still sitting on Raider's Point. It is even being said, that he build up a family on the planet. If he goes on like this, he might loose his status as diplomat.

In other news there is a new ambassador from Aurea who visit the rebels in their base on Saberhing to motivate the troops, for the upcoming legion(s).

Seems we are gtg. If i see it right, the rebels have 5 points, the imperials 4 points. This would mean that the imperials have the first attack this round?

hmm that right, I thought we were ahead by 1.

Oh well! Sloane assaults Saccoria.

Sato will face the force of Sloane.

In other news, Mon Mothma is going directly into the heart of the sector, and is trying to free Corellia from the reign of the Empire.

I had forgotten there was no rules support for scraping upgrades.

If so I can just use the same fleet as in round 3. Really not that much of a difference.

Nah, it is a stupid rule anyway.

? Gallery

There should be some cost to scrapping upgrades, given how cheap they are compared to ships. You don't want fleets changing radically at the drop of a hat.

Scrapping a ship is a big deal because it eats up so many resource points to replace it. Scrapping an upgrade should have a 100% surcharge. (50% at a minimum.)

Thrawn defends Correllia.

Vader assaults, location tbd.

Also forgot to mention, but we built a base out of my resources on our last assault.

So we will have 2 spynets, and vader and thrawn will each get one.

@Tokra

First off, excited to meet you at worlds! Maybe we get in an in person game?

Also, still waiting to see where to assault, probably won't be a base though, just need to go through all the stuff and find a decent unoccupied spot. In meantime, you and GK can work out a game time.

How did you arrive at this round's score?

Should it be 4 to 4?

Seems so. Messed it up with Aurea. Imo we should go on with this round as it is. at least once you should be the attacker .

I should have noticed before, but I've been enjoying my 10 day Easter vacation ?

Updated map for r4. Let me know if any errors.

Sacorria (regular, no presence): Sloane vs Sato

Corellia (base defense): MM vs Thrawn

Corfai (regular, no presence): Vader vs Ackbar

Diplomats: Raider's Point & Saberhing

Spies: Assigned

Fleets: Can you or can't you discard upgrades? I'm fine either way, I'm just not sure.

Note to Rebs: You haven't lost any bases, so I figured you're maxed out on bases (4) and the rest outposts (4).

I am fine with discarding upgrades. This way you have at least the change to modify the fleet a bit.

I can only say so much. We have at least 3 Bases and 4 Outposts .

@GhostofNobodyInParticular and I are playing on Thursday at 2000 GMT. Toddler permitting obviously

Veggie and I being to square off..... NOW!

Sato deployed an expansive minefield, but not even that was enough to deter the onslaught of Sloane's fleet. Her squadron wing barrelled through the mines to the ships beyond, taking one hammerhead down in flames turn 2, with another following turn 4. Salvation also was beginning to smoke before it made a desperate leap to hyperspace turn 4, with the rest of Sato's fleet.

Sloane ended the day victorious.

New vets: Jendon.
Scarred: 2 HH, Ketsu and Tycho, 1 Gozanti and Black squadron
