CAUTION: If something is FAQ'd for the official tournament, and FFG releases a DIFFERENT FAQ ruling after the tournament has started, the tournament FAQ will take precedence.

Unfortunately with lists already being locked, and assuming they were built with understanding of specific rules in mind, I can't change mid-tournament.

Hopefully everything is released and an FAQ is dropped first and this is all moot.

Great will submit my list in a couple of hours

Unfortunately I’m going to have to withdraw from the tourney. Medical issues in the family will take up a fair amount of my time in Jan/Feb so I think it’d be unfair to my opponents...so sorry! Was looking forward to this. Next year!

Sorry to hear that, hope things work out okay!

****, even though I have a spot reserved from coming in the top 4 from the previous tournie, I'm going to be too busy fixing an apparently crumbling house and coaching skiing to submit a list. Good luck to the participants!

Thanks much, nothing super serious, just time intensive.

I could perhaps join a POD if there are not enough players.

Let me know and I'll send in a fun little list I've made.

Huge Ships and Surprise Attack:

Surprise Attack does not overwrite all the huge ship deployment rules, however it does overwrite the sentence related to being able to deploy overlapping obstacles, as it must overlap the station. As a corollary to this, it may overlap additional obstacles.

Just wanted to clarify the "may overlap" part here - can the SSD player overlap other obstacles at will, or do they have to first try their best to fit the SSD in without overlapping?

At will

Be advised - official FFG Raddus and Onager Evade rules.

Its wrong that my immediate thought was "I don't know. If they were playing Raddus they were already dead to me..." ;)

A friendly reminder that 10 days (or so) remain to get in your list. There's a LOT of players who haven't submitted anything.

Don't be left behind!

@BiggsIRL Module version 3.11.1 is available!

Hopefully no more serious bugs will be found, so this can be official 2020 VWC version.

I'll play, USA East Coast, submitting list now.

I have lists which need stress testing. If you are short on ideas, message me.

Good day

We have 15 unique players with a list submitted. Gonna start @ing people in a bit here.

No worries, I will upload something soon!

But after the death of my Raddus-Starhawk-idea and the change of Raddus in general (I was (or am...?) a raddus player), I need to re-think about my fleet and play one, two games with it...

Playing in a local tourney this Saturday and may tune things up, so should upload mine soon after that.

I submitted mine.

Edit: I maybe have submitted twice after forgetting earlier today.
