Summer Task Force Tournament!

By Cael, in Star Wars: Armada

What better way to celebrate sweltering summer heat than Armada? It feels about 200 degrees here, so let’s do a 200 point Task Force tournament!

Fleets must follow the Task Force rules (200 points, commander is optional, at least one non-flotilla ship, and no squadron limit, restricted objectives). Normal tournament rules apply for scoring, byes, etc. We’ll play 3 rounds of Swiss, with the goal of finishing one round a week. Games can be played on Vassal or TTS, dealer’s choice.

We’ll use the normal tournament scoring system, but players get double points for destroying ships and squadrons (upgrades included). This keeps the MoV table and objective points the same as they would be for 400 point games.

Fleet submissions can be made to me via PM. We’ll start Friday the 28th!

Round 1 starts: 8/28

Round 2 starts: 9/4

Final round starts: 9/11

Victory declared: 9/18

@Demi_good beat me playing my hyperspace assault, 152-128, for a 6-5. Excellent corvette flying!

Those speed demons are going to be hard to put dice on

I won vs @LTD . 400-24

Hope those black dice treat you better. Excellent driving. Dice were just rolling in my favor

Moralo for the finish

GG @TigerKommandant

Miscalculated

Onager nuked VSD, Raider flew off and combine firepower of everything took it down. Mutual table with @aztechunter victorious. 420-440 MOV of 20.

Ah! Victories without ECMs! Wonderful!

@Cael 's list is actually my favorite; I like its simplicity.

It’s as simple as it is lousy 😀

The score in my game against red is incorrect - one of my MCs was double base points from adv gunnery. Effectively red gets 400 mov.

Fixed

LTD beat me 212-186 for a 6-5, playing my Dangerous Territory. I got very very lucky with one of my VSDs and managed to get an MC30, but mostly the MC30s danced around me and used their H9s to lock out my braces for big hits. Fun game!

@TheRedScourge chose 2nd. I played his AG and won 485-0.

GGs

Tiger vs @Demi_good 118-282 MOV of 164 Lost only the Gozanti and killed one CR90. Leaving Lando on 1 HP. VSD unfortunately flew off the board by the end of round 5 because of unplanned CF dials. Played my HSA.

Something about a Vic can’t live though an onager extreme shot followed up by a triple tap from demo.

Watching the final round with great interest.
