The last day has come: After it is over, we are there! New toys! New goodies! New everything! And here is today's minigame:

Prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark!

Hence, it is time to hold your breath.

• Give a shoutout to others on the forum you want to hold their breath with you - maybe you add a special reason to it.
• Victory Conditions: The one who gets the most likes before the hyperspace report is unto us AND survives holding his breath for such a long time...
• Prize: The likes you get.
• As always: Darth Veggie is not allowed to participate, but will give likes for spirit of competition reasons to every participant yelling a shoutout.

Darth Veggie's shoutout as an example:

• @drumtier: You are at the moment holding your breath anyway. Best wishes to you and your wive!
• @MattShadowlord: Man, when I joined the boards you were omnipresent. Now you are not. That is a bummer. Change it! Maybe tomorrow something will be there that will make the Ackbar conga line great again!
• @clontroper5: You will return at the beginning of July, right? Maybe Wave 8 will follow closely!
• @LTD: Simple shoutout for a nice dude who gave me many nice armada hours during my first VASSAL days!
• @Green Knight: A bummer that you won't be at worlds. But for compensation reasons you will soon get your first All-out-Offensive (unfortunatelly, you will lose it )
• @Undeadguy: For soon posting a rant on the Legion forum!
• @Tokra: A shoutout to you for bringing this year the world's trophy to Germany. We will count on you!

Tomorrow's minigame will be...well, there won't be one. There will be the Hyperspace Report!

@Darth Veggie I made you the Armada player you are today...

@Maturin Is a player I greatly respect and have enjoyed playing with - and he has the best ship names in Vassal... except for the horrible old Leopard!

@melminiatures: Because if the predictions are correct your SSD model may become defunct.

Lusankya, Lusankya, Lusankya CHANT WITH ME EVERYONE! Lusankya Lusankya Lusankya

@melminiatures Sorry..... But.... LusankyaLusankyaLusankya

Barely enough time to watch Rogue One and the old trilogy before the Hyperspace Report begins...

Will FFG give us our salvation in the beautiful shape of the SSD today? Only time will tell......

Nah...

It's the FFG Show with our Very Special Guest Star, STAR WARS LEGION!

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the New Games on the FFG Show tonight.

It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the FFG Show tonight.

Why do we always come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Invitational
This is what we call the FFG Show!

(Sour trumpet plays)

Krennic and Piett ought to be in this wave.

I have a strange feeling Piett won't be in an SSD as expected.

@Darth Sanguis for leading the charge for the local Armada group!

@melminiatures & @FoaS for providing a nearly unlimitedly ability to create unofficial waves of my own!

@Drasnighta for always being ready to answer a rules question, no matter how obvious, in a friendly manner.

Now bring on that glorious Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer!..

And some other stuff too.

People need to stop expecting an SSD.

Hype is a path to the dark side lol

Just be careful and don't catch an SSD, that's a fever you won't shake. It'll get you and next thing ya know you're debating how many inches the model should be in a 200 plus page thread that will continue long after we're all dead.

....soon

Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword.

am I the only one not excited about the SSD? I'd rather have something that brings new breath to the current tournament format. Be it nerfs, buffs, Armada 2.0. An SSD? It'll be fun for a game or 2, then it'll stay in the closet.

Yes, you are! As long as it stays within the normal game, instead of some useless epic variant, I'm hoping for the SSD. They just need to make the model ~50% larger than the ISD and either just use the large base or create a huge base that's ... ~25% bigger than large and it'll be fine in play as long as it's point value is under about 200

What the heck is wrong with this forum rendering the tilde character!?

Less than an hour now........

don't get me wrong, I think it'll be sweet. But, if we don't get much more than that this year, the game will become very stale and tournament play is where this game really shines IMO.

Is it streaming anywhere?
