Cael BYE

GK vs @Aresius paused start of r5 bc Ares had to go to work.

Thus far only lots of maneuvering. VCX in trouble.

Dictor in trouble very very soon.

Prediction: I lose Dictor, he loses VCX, maybe something in addition. Win Ares.

We found time to finish.

GK defeats Ares 107 to nil, 7-4, MoV 107.

He was 1st and we played my Most Wanted.

First 4 rounds saw a lot of maneuvering, then some light action near the end.

He lost VCX, 1 Scout HH and 1 torp HH.

I lost nothing.

I was pretty sure he'd kill my Dictor, but a favorable intentional ram on my ISD kept it out of range from MK on r5, so it weathered the storm.

King K was semi-useful actually. Same with tractors. Forgot most of the rest bc laying on a mini laptop screen...Titus, Ion Batteries etc.

So guys, this means I've gone 8-3, 8-3, 4-7, and 7-4 with KONSTANTINE against some decent opposition and tough lists.

I've gotten SOME use out of him, but he's not really been what defined my list I guess, so I'm not sure I would call him GOOD, but he's not all BAD either.

Despite not playing I still managed to get all my ships destroyed somehow, while doing minor damage in return. Victory goes to BYE, 400-57 ?

Round 4 LTD vs @Banthahas come to an end with 7/4 in my favour.

Bantha chose my Sensor Net, and I then deployed foolishly, losing my Rieekan Corvette with the Raddus / Profundity drop. My ETRC90s were able to dodge some arcs, and Bantha made a bad move with the MC75 that did not result in a ram, meaning the MC75 would fly off the board.

For iFart purposes, I lost 3 Corvettes including Rieekan, and no squads.

Bantha lost MC75, Hammerhead, and 1 GR. Quantum storm escaped with no scatter and 1 hull remaining. I lost a corvette in the last round - it should have run away with 1 hull and no shields, but I got greedy.

I nearly knocked out the Raddus CRB in the last round, but botched it. I had 11 tokens to Bantha's 2.

I scored 366, Bantha got 229, so MOV of 137.

Finished, game Ends 460-246 for an 8-3 too me with an MOV of 214.

I was 1st player and we played his Contested outpost. I advanced quickly and aggressively and after an exchange of blows and some powerful bombing runs, I destroyed his Demo at the top of turn 3 while Avenger unleashed a Salvo into PT's Cymoon. Both ISD's Continued to fight for another turn until my went down, His quickly followed after a successful Maarak Bombing run onto a Hull-zone with capacitor failure preventing redirects. My Demo decided he was hungry for some GOZ Steak and ate both of PT's Flottila's and eventually chased down the remaining gladiator for the table. It was a Fun Game Thanks to PT for playing! i think his 3 points has secured him 1st place in our area, Good luck to him in the Finals!

Hopefully my 30 points can hold off the remaining Contenders.

I watched part of this game - some really good manoeuvres and rams to stay in arc, etc.

A joy to watch.

JJ and I are scheduled for Thursday evening.

Karneck vs @Madhatter501 ends in 296 to 283. With 13 MOV to Karneck for a 6-5.

I had the bid and choose to go 1st, choosing Contested Outpost from Mad.
I scored 2 tokens and he scored 3.
Both sides threw lots of blank fire or ineffective fire but Mad did manage one good round of bombing on my ISD but I managed to blast away his squadrons and claw down some ships and on the very last turn I flew my ISD off the table like a scrub.

For FART.
I lost my ISD, Darth Vader Squad and Mauler.
Madhatter lost his non commander AFM2, both GR75s, 4 Awings, 3 Scurrgs, Gold, and a Hwk

I'm, regrettably, handing in a forfeit with my game against @xanderf. Apologies to Xanderf but the timezone difference makes playing of a weekday pretty impossible for both of us and then my weekends during the game period are intolerably busy (it was my anniversary this weekend, Armada Nationals next weekend, and X-Wing Nationals the weekend after).

Apologies again to Xanderf!

Game vs @jjscloud9 was brutal. 400-30 and end in round 4. I was first and played PIC. My Kuat last/first Thrawn for over 20 damage with Acc which quickly brought down Thrawn. Then my ER CF raider rolled max damage on a double arc on a Vic, dropping it to 4 hull and 3 naked hulls. Demo with ACM also rolled well heavily damaging another Vic. JJscloud had to dip out, but it was clear the direction the game was going.

@Rhysen and I just finished our match. The matchup was a horrible one for him, no squad ISD and double VSD against Rebel bombers. His first VSD died turn 2 and his ISD on turn 3. With his remaining VSD about to eat the next wave of bomb runs, he conceded. 400 MoV, 10-1.

There's a logfile if you want to see the nastiness that @geek19 described in the Garm update.

I've fought that list. (shudders)....

Normally I'd be bummed about that, but taking a look at our two lists...pretty sure I was going to get shellacked, so...

...hey, I'll take 'em where I can get 'em! ?

Hi

Sadly I had to drop from tournament. My laptop goes dead afther crashlanding from table.

No worries mate, life happens.

rasproteus defeats @CyborgNinja 10-1, MoV 400. We played his capture the VIP.

I really like his Mothma fleet, but I was able to parlay a couple of lucky rolls/structurals into a cascading failure. Mothma on Foresight went down at the start of turn 3 - cleared off the fore and aft shields with a front arc from a Raider end of turn two, and then the double arc managed to sneak two hull damage in the next turn. A structural and a ram finished her off.

I could not have asked for a more gracious opponent, and I look forward to playing him again in the future.

Me and izStevens just finished up. I won 293 to 33. Props to him for Sato though.

That's a pity, sorry about the laptop!

Would have been interesting to see who came out on top, Dopple's squads or your anti-squad monster

I am fairly certain I would have been stomped.

My performance these months has been rather awful.

@svelok vs @SpartanFury80 ends ```````````````````````358 - 121, for a 9-2 loss for me. For FART (if that's still a thing... ?) I lost both flotillas and an MC30, and killed one flotilla and the AF.

Fish farm is not the list 3x MC30 wants to face, but hey, at least it wasn't another max squads list, like my first three games. #PairingsAreRigged

My humble squids end the tournament with 21 points. Not bad for a fleet that's 100% from waves 3 and earlier (aside from Hondo, who I included by mistake and never used), and doesn't include any squads... but I had major room for improvement in every match, so if there's a Vassal Spring Tourney, the squids might just return to hunt the biggest game...

@CaribbeanNinja has run a great tournament, my inaugural vassal matches were all a blast. Best of luck to whomever makes the cut from NA East, especially if it's somebody who beat me to get there!

The match @Order66 Beta vs Tokra is over.
We were playing his Targeting Beacon.

I lost 32 points (poor Adar Tallon in his Transport). And i could take down one ISD, the Raider and all squadrons for a total of 215 points.
So a MOV of 183 for me, and a good 8-3

@Viktor Tanek vs @Roquax

Roquax 6, Viktor 5

Nothing died, both fleets didn't engage at all (except for some minor pot shots from Dutch)

Objective: Precision Strike

Initiative: Viktor
