@CommanderDave , @JJs Juggernaut , and @PartyPotato and I can have pity PODdy....

Maybe winner gets one of those shiny participation certificates.

Q: I see that better players have me 3 to 1....

A) "I like those odds."
B) "Never tell me the odds."
C) "I have a bad feeling about this."
D) "E Chu Ta"
D) All of the above.

Have a great tourney all, and thanks Biggs for putting in the grind.

If you want to do a "whoops, missed it" POD then by all means do so! I'll even track the points.

Count me in on the Pod of rejects.

I just saw that the tournament may have been short a couple entrants and I’ll be damned if I let that happen... so of course I dusted off my list from the last Vassal Worlds. I’m sure nothings really changed since last year :). Ready for face down these SSDs, STDs, Chickenhawks, super weapons... whatevs... JerJer and his two trusty VSDs are ready...

To make it fair @JJs Juggernaut can run the SSD MSU in the reserve pod.

North America AND Australia represented!

The Jabbawookie - heads up the POD with ONE BIG ACTIVATION.

LTD - comes from down under with an Ackbar CR90A / YT swarm

Admiral Theia - forgot that Raddus can't drop Starhawks and has chosen to move Raddus to the Starhawk instead of having a useless commander.

Cael - brings another Motti to the party with a Cymoon, VSD 1, DCap Dictor. That's a lot of hull!

If JJs doesn't want to play in it, I'll join the Left Out POD with my Raddus Jank Fleet from Podcast Episode 5.

General Romodi and Dust Fields:

Romodi: "if the attack is obstructed by a ship or obstacle, the attacker does not remove a die"

Dust Fields: "A ship that traces line of sight across a dust field while attacking a ship or squadron cannot perform that attack"

Therefor: Romodi cannot shoot through Dust Fields. He does not cancel all things that an obstacle can do, just obstruction. Dust Field's line of sight ability is not obstruction.

@Ginkapo I was going to run an SSD fleet anyway for the VWC anyhow.

@BiggsIRL go ahead and play in the left out pod.

Can you make a ruling on using a ship/squad to 'bridge' a dust cloud?

Edit: ruling was already made in Discord server, but should be posted here also.

Would love to see the objectives for the pod fleet lists posted to SteelStrategy. Thanks for putting in all the effort to organize this!

i wil try to make logs.

I am not sure how Moralo will work against Onager and Starhawk (had no time to test). But i am afraid that the Onagers will totally rip me.

While I am sure that you will find something to prevent this, I would encourage all players to make logs!

I am more than interested in the play-tests of Onagers and Starhawks. Okay, Pod C might be a bit boring because in any case a Starhawk will win but I really look foward to the experience in Pod A.

And in POD C, all Starhawks should not fight each other but assemble and attack the other PODs!

Onager nukes Moralo from orbit

Moralo has no Problem with the Onager. It is the ships that i am worried about 😁

I meant Moralo lists as a whole. Quasars can get one shot pretty easy and a Vic with no ET/ECM has no defense against it

It's super easy to move ships in vassal. No bridges.

@Trogdor04 - you have 24 hrs from this post to check in, otherwise you will be a 'no show' and replaced.

Sorry. It might be best to replace me. Thank you so much for the opportunity but I just started the new semester and stuff has gone sideways.
