@Order66 Beta vs. Darth Veggie starts on Monday 8 PM UTC. Then we will see what Avenger can do against Admonition! ?

The experiment what Avenger can do against Admonition has been successfully conducted. The answer is: It is difficult! Avenger can criple Admonition down to 1 hull, but has to fly off the table for doing so... ?

But I am rushing things...

@Order66 Beta vs. Darth Veggie has ended with 208 to 400 (MoV 192; 3-8) in my favour. Order 66 was first player and chose my targeting beacons.

Mistakes were made on both sides. In round 2 the heavy gunning already started (with the death of my HIECR90b stupidly dropped by Profundity). Round 3 saw the end of Motti's ISD, Profundity and Quantum Storm. In round 5 the Raider 2 evaporated by an already on hull 1 Admonition onslaught. In round 6 the Gozanti was killed by my Raddusvette. Avenger could not stand all this bloodshed and finally flew off the map.

Logfiles are here (there are two files due to a connection loss in between; and because we Germans couldn't behave, we always switched between languages in a most confusing way ?)

For FARTing purposes: I have lost my HIECR90b, Quantum Storm and Profundity. My opponent was tabled.

Admonition? Not Admonition! This **** glib Lando! With an blink of his shiny teeth, he let vanish a lot of my Toroedos, Lasers ans all that Stuff.

But the Imperial Fleet never forget. WE WILL GET YOU! YOU REBELLING DELINQUENT GAMBLER!!!

Next Time ?

AND certainly the Avenger "flew". She was without a Scratch and fresh polished. And this... this rowdiness Rebells were in town...

Not a glorious moment of the Imperial Fleet. ?

Not a glorious moment of Order66 Beta. ?

@Darth Veggiebig THX for the "spannende" game.

Again i learned a lot. You all are a nice fandom.

Ps.: If somebody flew... you all now who it was. "Shiny teeth". Episode V and VI. ...

Brobafett VS GK finishes with Brobafett winning 7-4, 102 MOV. I lost black squadron and the quasar, GK lost the ISD, slicer flotilla, and his squads (mauler and ciena). GK took 3 CO tokens to my 1.

As always GK brings a hard game, even playing Konstantine. I whiffed my roll (0 damage) on the slicer flotilla keeping my squads out of the action long enough for the interdictor to run away and prevent the tabling, which I needed to move forward.

Thanks for another awesome match GK.

See you in round 4 Broba! Another big squad smash up for me :o

Great fun. And barring a couple of brainfarts that shall never be mentioned, it was a good game.

Konstantine did nada, and Motti would have been immeasurably better ?

Dictor is ok, but still lacks enough punch for the points.

Slicers rock.

JJs Juggernaut vs Viktor Tanek (1st Player)

Objective: Superior Positions

357-58 (MoV 299)

9-2 for JJs Juggernaut

Good game to Viktor. I was able to deploy in a way that kept both ISDs from getting in close quickly, and Bail was able to throw a wrench in the crucial turn of the game. I was also able to remove slicer tools the turn before the main engagement, swinging the activations in my favor and also kept my MC-75 with a squadron command to finish off Jerjerrod's ISD which had been taking damage from my squadrons already. After that Devastator disengaged and I killed the comms net flotilla.

@geek19 for the FART. I lost a GR-75 (Adar+BCC) and Coran Horn. I killed the Jerjerrod ISD (Avenger), both Gozantis, and earned 8 VP tokens.

@Roquax vs @svelok (1st player)

Objective: Precision Strike

406-108 (298 MOV)

@geek19 for the FART: Roquax lost two HH Torp, Svelok lost all but the CR90A

Edited by Roquax

@svelok vs @Roquax ends 406 - 108, for a 9/2 to Roq.

@geek19 I lost everything but the CR90, took down 2 of the Hammerheads.

Roquax, I strongly need you to take the whole thing now so at least I lost to the winner... ?

heavy squad lists currently top 2 in both NE and Europe! let's see what happens in NW....

Concolation game finished.

Thrindal Defeats JJsCloud9 108-76

Thrindal killed one of JJsCloud9 VSD's and his Gozanti

JJs Cloud9 killed my non-Hondo Arquitens and Rhymer.

It was a fairly conservative, defensive match. I overkilled the one VSD I took out and just couldn't quite kill the other VSD. I was also a little careless with the one Arquitens that did die. Good game though, JJsCloud9 was a good opponent.

medaloffairness and i just finished with the score being 462-201 to me.

Super close game where most my ships died and a lucky shot that decided who got tabled against his ISD where Dodonna let me pick the crit double damage to save the day.

I killed 2 goz, 1 ISD, 1 glad, all squadrons but jonus

Medal Killed 1 pelta, 1 neb-b, 1 gr-75, 1 yt1300

Cael vs Karneck is finished.

I choose to go 1st, and picked Caels Planetary Ion Cannon.

After deployment Cael rushed in his MC75 and double ET Lib's. After a combo of bombers and a Pryced ISD on round 2, the rebel cruisers could not withstand firepower of that magnitude and were all destroyed, with the Squall sacrificing itself in a blocking action.

400 points to Karneck, 72 to Cael for a total of 328 MOV (10-1) to Karneck.

@rasproteus versus mhd:

mhd is wins with a 10-1 victory (300mov). We played my hyperspace assault. This was a bad match up for rasproteus and my squads worked over his ISD from the start, which I think only managed to flack from 2 arcs in the entire game before it imploded. The raiders then crumpled fairly fast.

For the FART fiends, I lost my Raider and Gozanti versus everything on his end. I think this might set me up for a potential rematch with Svelok in the next round.

In Swiss you can't play same opponent twice.

Clontroper5 vs @Captain Weather will be going down in about 8 hours from now

Tune in too see the Epic struggle between the desperate Band of noble pilots as they fight for their lives against the Empires most Feared Star Destroyer, Avenger.

And the Fight is Done! The game ends 490-287 To the Star destroyer!

Clontroper5(490) Vs Captain Weather(287) for a 8-3 to me with an mov of 203

I was 1st player and we played the Fine Captain of Precipitation's Precision Strike. We both knew the key to the game lied in if I could hold His Squadrons off long enough to Crush his ships, and unfortunately for him, I was. I came in hot and Avenger poured in some devastating Fire into the poor MC80, crippling to the point it died after an Asteroid impact. Meanwhile the Bounty hunter Bossk distracted the Rebel pilots keeping the deadly bombs at bay just long enough for Avenger to Soften up Yavaris a little as well. Soon the Bombers made their attack run and just barely managed to bring the Star destroyer down, but it was too late, Demolisher followed in after for the kill mopping up the remainder of the rebel ships. Great game to @Captain Weather he proved to be a very enjoyable opponent and we were able to have a nice discussion while the carnage was happening.

Loses: I lost my Avenger, Colonel Jenden, Meerak, and Bossk

Captain Weather Was Tabled

I want to give multiple reactions to the above report ... so “like” will have to do.

@Xanderf vs @thecactusman17 is tentatively scheduled for next Sunday, November 4th at somewhere in the late afternoon or early evening Pacific Standard time. Further details as they develop

Dupy and @Dr alex have fought through turn 3 and are taking a pause for refreshments until Sunday 2030 GMT. It has been a fun and interesting game, totally not coming out how I thought it would.

@CommanderDave vs GP kicking off now

@CommanderDave vs GP ends 512-90 in CommanderDave's favor. We played his Most Wanted; his objective Gozanti got away, and I was tabled.

Losses for FART are my real combatants and his Demolisher.

I can post the log file for the curious, but since I started it after we put our ships down (actually partway into Round 1), it's unreadable.
