I want to play, not sure what I need to do to get started

I'll add you to the list! Have you played Armada on Vassal before? If so, you'll get more details for your games as we move forward. If you are unfamiliar with playing Armada on VASSAL, just lookup tutorials on YouTube, and you can usually find people online to play with and get accustomed to the platform.

Can we add experimental retros to the allowed uniques list? Tough to draft the Interdictor with half of its upgrades banned

I want to play as well, please :)

I've updated the player list to this point. Expect the full rules to be posted on the first page sometime this Sunday evening.

Do you have an expected start date JJ?

How delightfully weird. Count me in!

I'm having a hard time figuring out how a draft would work for this. Does everybody in the pod make a first, second, third list of expansions and then whoever picks those gets them?

The date I'm currently planning on starting the draft is the 8th of July. I'm out of town before then, so it would be hard for me to be able to moderate the start of things until then.

So I will start a group message with each pod, I will list the available expansions and then in turn each player will select from the list until none remain. It will probably take a few days to run the draft, possibly a week.

Alright, it looks like there's significant opportunities to fly some janky lists, I'm in if there's room.

I'm in

Anyone got a link to the first draft tournament thread?

Poll, would you guys rather play a round robin in your draft pods, or just use the pods for drafting and do regular swiss matchups?

Are pods geographically based? That will make a difference

Not for this one, though I'll add the option to the poll in case it is a big enough difference.

must be the World cup fever, I went for round robin.

Psst...Vote again on the new poll :P

Also, the majority of the rules have been updated on the first post in the thread. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Voted!

Voted.

Does the core set equip the squadrons too?

It will give two TIE Fighters and two X-wings. Just like the Chimeara gives two Gauntlets.

Hoping these @'s trigger from the quote. I'm still traveling, so communication is hard. The vote was for geographical pods so it you could all respond here with your preference (EU, NA, Asia/australia) that would be great! I'll try and check back over the weekend and I hope everyone responds then. If so I will have the draft pods running sometime early next week. If you'd still like to join now is the time! Let's hype it up!!!
