Hello everyone! With the Vassal mini tournament winding down, I'm stepping up to host the next tournament on Vassal! This will be another casual level tournament, and it's going to have a twist. With ideas taken from the draft tournament which was several years ago, I've been working to revise the format for another go! The majority of the rules are now posted:

• 400 points fleets
  • You will draft a number of expansions to use to build your fleet. You may only use cards from those expansions when building your fleet
  • Your fleet may consist of both Imperial and Rebel ships and squadrons.
  • There are no unique upgrades or squadrons besides your Commander, Fleet Commands, and Experimental Retrofits
  • Flotillas are still limited to 2 per fleet
  • Each squadron pack drafted allows you to take two squadrons of each type in the expansion
  • All Objectives are legal (except for the Green CC Objectives)
  • You may have a 75 point sideboard of upgrades, ships, and squadrons. Before each game, you may make any adjustments to your fleet you desire using that sideboard so long as you follow all fleetbuilding rules for this tournament
  • NOTE: To avoid any issues with hotswaping fleets on Vassal, I ask all players make these changes to their fleet before their games in their fleet savefile. Fleets are not to be changed after loading them into the game, unless you are given permission by your opponent.
• The draft
  • The players will be split into a number of draft pods containing 4 players each
  • There will be a random pool of draftable expansions for each pod, enough for 5 picks per player.
  • The Expansions were grouped by size and a number of each are available to draft
    • 4 Large (include Core Set)
    • 4 Medium
    • 8 Small
    • 4 Squadron Packs
  • Using a group PM the players will each take turns selecting an expansion from the pool until all expansions are chosen.
  • This will be in a snake format. So players 1,2,3,4 then 4,3,2,1 and so on.
  • I will be apart of these PMs to monitor and assist with any questions.
  • NOTE: Hammerheads and Flotillas do provide two ships per pack. You may only use ISD variants found in your chosen expansion.
  • NOTE: The Core set and Chimeara Expansions both provide 2 of their respective squadrons. (2 TIE, 2 Xwings for Core, 2 Gauntlets for Chimeara)

If you are interested, sign up below! We will be running 3 rounds for this one (Round Robin with geographical pods).

You're killing my commitment to take a break from Vassal tourneys...

Color me interested, and sign me up!

I’m in

Oh, I want a big ol piece of this!

I’m in!

I'm in.

Wow, was my original draft tournament really a couple years ago? Time flies I guess. I'd love to play, but I just don't have the time right now. Maybe next time.

With ideas taken from the draft tournament which was several years ago, I've been working to revise the format for another go! The exact details are still in the works, but here is a brief summary:

• 400 points fleets
  • You will draft a number of expansions to use to build your fleet. You may only use cards from those expansions when building your fleet.
  • Your fleet may consist of both Imperial and Rebel ships and squadrons.
  • There are no unique upgrades or squadrons besides your Commander and Fleet Commands
  • Flotillas are still limited to 2 per fleet
• The draft
  • The players will be split into a number of draft pods depending on the number of participants (probably 4-6 players per pod).
  • There will be a set pool of draftable expansions for each group which may not be the same for each pod, the exact details TBD.
  • Using a group PM the players will each take turns selecting an expansion from the pool until all expansions are chosen. I will be apart of these PMs to monitor and assist with any questions.

If you are interested, sign up below! We will be running 3 Swiss rounds for this one. I'm still deciding if we should re-draft fleets each round, or just allow changes using the drafted expansions. I'm also considering set fleets, but with a sideboard for each fleet that can be used to change fleets pre-game, the specifics are TBD.

Ooh, very keen on being in

I'm in.

Definitely watching this for the final rules.

Neither officer nor titles... nor even experimental retrofit?

Was it REALLY years ago? **** it seems like just the other day.

Get off my lawn.

Also, I'm in.

Also a note - I think set fleets with a certain moderately sized side board is the easiest and most forgiving way of approaching the build.

I'd like to sign up.

Love the draft idea, in! Thanks for organizing JJ.

PS: Could we get a pinned thread in Organized Play with just Vassal event dates? They are easy to miss for those of us that don't live on the boards. (Tho I'm now leasing a nice summer home here)

I'm not at all sure EXACTLY where this is going, but I like it.

Name: You Shall Not Pass
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Admiral Konstantine

Interdictor Combat Refit (93)
• Admiral Konstantine (23)
• Interdictor (3)
• G-8 Experimental Projector (8)
= 124 Points

Interdictor Combat Refit (93)
• G-8 Experimental Projector (8)
= 101 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 61 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 61 Points

Total Points: 350

What is the thinking behind allowing cross faction play?

Slap a couple of Phyloms about and Where it’s going is “nowhere unless you say so...”

Ease of draft useage. In case you draw unevenly on faction expansions.

No uniques means no uniques rather allowing multiple in the same fleet...
