NOVA Open GC Day 1

By dsnowak, in Star Wars: Armada

Good morning! I'll be posting updates here, as well as on the NOVA Fleet Facebook page.

So, the photos from my phone are too big for this forum, but I am posting them on the NOVA Fleet Facebook page. We have 5 SSD's out of 18 plying today. Round 1 is almost done, and three SSD's died, one survived but lost on points (over 11 damage).

Could you give a breakdown of admirals?

Link for the Facebook group? And is it a closed group?

Yes, it's closed, but an admin is here--I'll make sure he approves your request ASAP

14 Imperials and 4 Rebels? Dang.

You could say that the Rebels actually feel like they are rebelling.

Or the Rebels have to work during the week 😁

Posted at the top.

When was the last time there was a top tier tournament without Rieekan?

It is only day one, but I'm still stunned.

What is Matt Ansley running? I’m surprised that he was able to get a 10-1 against Jeremy’s Dictor (I assume) list. Really interesting game, I’m sure.

Why stunned? Can't run ISDs if you're using Rieekan...

Pretty much.

What shocks me most, though, is that anyone is running admirals other than Sloane or Jerry. That they only make up 64% (9/14) Imperial Admirals is kind of surprising.

Where did the 5 SSD end?

I don't think they played looking at final scores, Jeremy must have played Michael.

Eh, maybe I’m confused. Looks like lots of Decimators, which is cool. That’s the direction I’ve been leaning with the potential of Anni/Kallus/QLTs.

Oh no, I'm getting confused. I was reading it as 4 rounds but it was actually 5?! I didn't think standard format was to do 5 rounds with only 18 players. We were due to have 5 rounds in UK Nationals but it was cut down to 4 as we had less than 50 players.
