Also updated to the third post on the first page.

Played a practice draft game last night on vassal.

Laughed at how silly Ackbar combat dicters are.

Was terrified by Sloane Scurrgs.

God i wish imps had a blue/black bomber.

Just to clarify, can we put more than 75 points into the sideboard for a game and have a bigger bid or is that a hard limit?

Clarification on the sideboard rules:

  • You may have other ship variants in your sideboard, but they cost their full point cost (IE Larges don't fit)
  • You can have a whole ship in your sideboard, it's just costly
  • Once the tournament has started your sideboard loses its point restriction. (IE, you could drop a large ship into your sideboard and put in your 75 from your sideboard, but you will then have a large bid)

Cheers @Ginkapo I was sure I’d read that but couldn’t find it anywhere

Submitted!

Submitted.

and resubmitted, use the second one!

Currently Pods 1-4 have all finished their drafts. I'm proud everything went so quickly, it shows that this format can be viable without dragging things out. As soon as those pods get there fleets in I will post them and allow matches to begin.

Pod 5 is just beginning drafting due to a no show. @Villakarvarousku is stepping in to fill the spot, which is awesome since I accidently missed his original sign up!

I am alive. Very sorry. I had trouble logging in for a few days and forgot about this. I am glad you went on without me and apologize to JJ for the confusion i caused. I will do better next time.

No problem, I'm sure we'll be running more event in the future!

Question:

If I have a 399 point list, and a 75 point sideboard, can I take an upgrade out of my list and put it in the sideboard in order to have an initiative bid? Or do I need to build my initiative bid into either my list or my sideboard?

I assume the second - but it never hurts to ask.

You can drop stuff into your sideboard and take it over 75 points- you just have to do it before seeing your opponents list

Ok cool.

Interesting if true.

Is true.

@JJs Juggernaut You can put commanders in the sideboard, right?

edit: I'm going to assume so and submit my fleet. If not, there isn't really anything else I could / would want to put in its place anyway.

Yes you can!

It is a random collection of ships with zero synergy. But, it is submitted.

Stop stealin' my fleet archetypes Dupy! :)

Resubmitted, still random, with objectives.

wait, we are supposed to pick objectives?

<throws fleet research papers into air>

I submitted sans objectives too

I figured they were part of the "final fleet" that we used, unless the fleet we submitted had to be the unaltered fleet we used in the first round. Cause I definitely just jostled and finagled to fit the full allotment of points I could in under the requirement so I could load my sideboard and actually design fleets once things got started :D

You just have the same 3 objectives throughout the tournament is all. It's not a huge deal to have them submitted, since that won't be included in the released fleets. It's just honor system then.

Deadline to get fleets in is this Friday the 20th!
