ANZAC Day Open

By LTD, in Star Wars: Armada

We are now thinking of running this more loosely across the weekend - one game each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Even in Lockdown apparently it is hard for Kiwi dads to get a whole Saturday to themselves (and Aussies are in much the same situation).

Non-ANZACs are welcome to play (Turks are particularly welcome!), but you will need to deal with our "First in the world" timezones to participate.

More information will be released.... shortly.

This should be quite good.

And that’s the classic antipodean understatement we quite appreciate.

Would this be through TTS or Vassal? Despite having not played armada in about a year and a half, I have visited Australia and I've got nothing but time because of the quarantine...

Do you mind if I share this in the various NZ Armada groups. Also at 240pts are admirals still compulsory? And is the first round on Anzac Day?

Please share widely. I just applied to join the Singapore Facebook group as they are also in our timezone(s).

Admirals are compulsary. First round on Anzac Day.

Cool I’m in a few of the NZ war gaming groups on FB and discord I’ll spread the word.

And we've hit the beaches...

With 12 players - round one will be completed over the next 24 hours.

Round one complete - half the players won, and half lost.

For myself, I got excited and flew a torpedo Frigate off the side of the board. Next game I’m going to draw a bright red mark over that dotted line (Never would have happened if we were playing vassal as God intended).

I did that in my first game as I also did something similar in a practice game. 😁

Round two is now complete - and again - half the players win.

Round three starts today...

Round 3 complete - and this time half the players lost.

Some video of round 1

Round 4 is mostly done - a 24 hour extension granted four players.

As it stands the top three players are the tournament organisers - a Royal Commission will be empaneled ASAP...

I dunno.

Homefield advantage has to count for something, right?

This smells of under arm bowling all over again lol.

Have thoroughly enjoyed the event thanks to you guys over the ditch for hosting and bringing us kiwis into your Armada group.

Were you even born when that disgraceful moment occurred, @XR8rGREAT ? Why is that two of our three great national disgraces involve Cricket? Probably because three out of three of our great national successes also involve Cricket...

Some more battles from Round 2...
