Seems accurate. ;)

I've extended the time for R2 so that the next games get in. We'll start the final round as soon as they're complete.

Ok! Thanks much to @Thrindal and thanks also to everyone for being patient. We got it in tonight.

I ended up being first player. Final score was 170-107, with the victory going to me. (Thrindal lost two of his Arq's, I lost my Raider II, and we both picked up the Victory Token)

So there you go @CaribbeanNinja , we're ready for the next round!

Will the Thunder From Down Under Spank the Tank, or Will the Grand Admiral Moose Shrug off the Doubling Bees to Smack Down Yavaris?

Find Out This SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! (aka SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY!)

@JJs Juggernaut - Your inbox is full. Saturday night, Sunday night (pending finalizing of family plans), or Monday night are my earliest options.

@comatose They must really have downgraded storage, 86% full and I don't have room, lol!! Monday night works fine for me. Anytime after 3PM Central

Time US.

I'm trying to work out if I can even play @Thrindal before next week. I'm helping out my dad all day tomorrow and likely also Monday.

Let me know, I should be free evenings this week if you get free time. If not and @CaribbeanNinja wants to wrap this up I think all we are fighting for is the bottom feeder award ?

After careful consideration and multiple checks of my calendar, I've come to the conclusion that I can't find a reliable opening in my schedule to complete a game.

This is disappointing personally and I apologize to @Thrindal for failing to secure a playable game .

Thanks to @PodRacer we managed to get in our game today. Demolisher lived a charmed life, managing to stay on the board by a couple of pixels.

Final score was 142 - 100 in my favor.

@CaribbeanNinja

3 out of 3 payloads secured, what do I win??

Very close game with Jeebus. Lost two corvettes when they got too close, and would have lost the third if not for terrible black dice luck on his part. The MC75 ran over the hammerhead and blew it up, and the last surviving corvette dealt a killing blow from its aft battery as the two fleets drifted out of range. Final score 250-123 in my favor, 9-2.

Thanks for a great game Jeebus, and thanks for organizing this tournament CaribbeanNinja! I had only played two games of Armada before the tournament and this was a fantastic way to learn the ropes and get my feet wet. Hope we do another one soon!

Dupy Vs Vip starting very soon

@Vipcard3 v Dupy, 200 -11 win for Dupy. 10-1

The match was Vipcard's mc75 slugger with enhanced armaments, bid, and activations vs landmonition and his gnats. The fight was going to be Vipcard getting into position to last first Landmo with a double arc to table me quick.

The mc75 started in the middle flanked by flotilla. It turned and accelerated toward Landmo as he descended and turned hard toward the right side of the table. An attempt to just stay out of black range failed by one click of the tool on round 2.

The squadron fight was short. Round 2 on the left side brought my squads in to attack a flotilla. Vipcard's x wings engaged my a wing gnats and took in counters, what they gave. In the squad phase, Hera, Gold,and a gnat finished off one x wing, and left the other at one health. That one was finished off the start of the next turn, as was an a wing by Vipcard aa fire. My squads then started to swarm one flotilla, as the other ran away smoking.

Round 3 started with a double arc from the bruiser. Landmo was lucky in that the side arc was not in black range. Despite 5 black, 3 blue, and 3 red shot, Landmo discarded his namesake and both evade tokens to lose but 4 shields. The mc75, however, left its self at speed 2 aimed square at the table edge. Landmo counter-punched with both fists, then slid into the right side arc of the bruiser with all shields full but the front arc away from the mc75. Safe and on his way to the payload.

Round 4, was quick, the MC75 unloaded on landmo out the side, stripping shields on one side. Then the fateful decision to try and turn the mc75, instead of going dead in the water, sent it careening off the edge of the map. It was a quiet end to a match that started with a whole lot of dice dropping.

@Vipcard3 had built an awesome fleet for this format. He flew it well, but, Landmonition proved too slippery to nail down. Thank you mate!

Thank you @CaribbeanNinja for setting up the tournament.

Good job @Dupy - you have justified my decision not to play for a 6/5!

You are going to have to bring it hard to win it ?

@Caldias vs Quadro28

8-3 win for Quadro28 with 100 MOV

Quick and dirty. I had a skillful(lucky) maneuver that left my MC75 out of the sides of his MC30 while staying in close of both hammerheads. Good dice meant both hammerheads were knocked out and Ketsu was taken out by the Rebel aces. The MC75 was able to disengage after its shots and we called it there.

Thanks for the game, @Caldias !

Oh, I brought it. But apparently not enough of it.

I already lost, 7/4.

You are King of this Particular Mountain, Dupy.

Yeay! What do I win?
