Legal is an interesting idea....

"I will make it legal", etc.

I'm actually thinking for the first run-though that there be no upgrades of any kind, just to see how this thing might work.

So is the SSD legal?

No - let’s keep it simple. This is a test run.

re: ramming etc, I’ll move each ships in a random order. Overlaps will be undone.

i think that’s the easiest way.

Is this an answer to Bertie's question of the SSD? or only for the ramming dilemma?

No to SSDs for this game.

No unique squadrons.

I have also reflected on objectives - since there is no first player advantage, the side with the bid will pick one of the others objectives (say Red) - then the other side will pick from the first sides other colours (say, blue or yellow).

Two objectives for the game. Madness. I wonder if it will work...

Madness indeed.

And if only the SSD was allowed... Oh well. The rebels wouldn't stand a chance anyways... 😜

Booo

That moment when you fly in to pick up the VIP token, not realizing it's a minefield.

Can't it be Both?

Galactic Hot Potato.

Quick question: would friendly Ships be able to Command Any allied squadren or just the squads that are controlled by the same player as the ship?

Any ship can command any squadron

We are all ready, and waiting to start. For reference, @clontroper5 is our Grand Admiral, so he will be the one calling the final shots for us.

Ok, fleets are in.

Just waiting on some things from the Rebels. Disorganised rebels...

Man, really disorganized...

Ok, I’ll ask a player from each side to post your fleets, no objectives. Then the side with the higher bid can choose to choose first or second from the opponents’ objectives. Then choices can be made.

Then I’ll get some general guidance on setting terrain and deployment from each side, then we’ll get under way!
