Multiplayer Fleet Battle Play by Post

By LTD, in Star Wars: Armada Off-Topic

Well, 6am would be nice.

Were up to terrain and deployment.

The Imps have a google doc with a screen grab that shows how they envisage deployment - so something like that for both sides. Or even a vassal log file that has ships in place and at speed. Let’s says Imps bottom of screen, Rebels top.

deployment will be simultaneous.

I will plonk the terrain pretty randomly unless there are strong objections.

I would prefer the station in the middle if we could but otherwise I don't care

Fair enough. As the Imperials are "second" player, you can put the station where you want.

Do we get to know where the HA tokens are before we deploy?

Um, sure.

The Rebels need to decide where their tokens are going to go.

I guess I need to set up terrain first.

The joys of playtesting.

By the way, I highly recommend we just use a Google Doc (or Discord, if everyone has the app) for each faction next game. I don't know German, so I couldn't understand all of edupad's features. And the font color kept changing so that it was hard to understand who is who.

You know, with all this waiting, its like an actual battle.

Sitting around, waiting for our orders to actually get through, twiddling our thumbs...

I'm here, it just feels awkward to do stuff without running it by my fellow space terrorists.

Jabba, I appoint you chief Rebel.

Let’s get this part started.

Let's put the tokens in at distance 1 from the "top" of the station, 1/2 distance 1 to the right of the leftmost debris field, and distance 1 to the right of the middle asteroid field.

Ok, so both sides can deploy based that.

Lee me know when your deployments are set - I’ll need names and speeds for ships

Don't forget Opening Salvo objective tokens; every ship on the board after deployment will get one (The ship in Hyperspace will not).

So the tokens are all closer to the Rebels deployment zone, correct? (Rebels on top, Imps on bottom)

Que?

Ay caramba!

@LTD I’m sorry, I seem to have misunderstood the map. Could I trouble you to flip the tokens about the x-axis?

I can’t believe you’re expecting a Rebel to read directions, that seems pretty biased... 😜

I was speculating with my teammates why you were playing so conservative with the tokens...

Something like this?

(I might remove the starfield - it is pretty distracting)

Yep. Busy though. I am confident that my comrades are far more adept at determining where to station my ships and the obstacles than I, so I am leaving the major decision-making to them.

Exactly, thank you very much.

Imperial ships and squadrons are set.

Any word?
