FFG Escalation tournament

Round 2 90pts (30 pts the same as R1) 60min

Round 3 120pts (50 pts the same as R2) 75min

Round 4 points 150pts (75 pts the same as R3) 90min

I should be able to make it. What time are we starting? Also a nub question as this will be my first tournament, what does (30pts same as Round 1) mean?

I'll be at Eternal on Monday. See you guys there.

What time on Monday? I'll be there.

If I can make Eternal Monday it won't be until around 8. Unless something changes I'm out for the tourney 4/13 as a player but I may drop in to check out the store, the format and to say hello.

Unless something changes between now and Thursday, i'll be able to make it.

Seeing the tourney will be this Sunday, are you guys going to change your squads to practice with, or just play normal 100 pt games? If changing, how many points? 90? 120? 150?

I'm good for whatever. I pulled together what I'm going to run awhile back when I thought Shenanigans was running an escalation tourney. So if you want to play 60/90/120/150, I'm good to go.

Awesome. I guess i just need to figure out what i want to run. Could this be the week i go Rebel...show up and see!

I'm going to go after work so I'll be there around 6:30-7.

So how were the games last night? And the place?

So how were the games last night? And the place?

We had a couple great games. DesignerNinja and I had a great match, he won with Soontir Fel taking out Wedge and a Gold Squadron pilot. R2 just couldn't keep the shields up long enough for me to take him down.

Basementcuts and I had two follow up games and bad flying did him in both games.

Eternal Games has an awesome gaming space, very clean, and lots of tables. There was a MTG tournament going on and we still had plenty of room to play. We could have had 10 games going without a problem. They are willing to build some tables, or table add-ons that would be more conducive to X-wing, HeroClix, and the like. We had to put two tables together to fit a 3x3 mat but it worked out well nonetheless. I enjoyed the space and the staff is really cool, they'd like to put together some tournaments in the future. So I look forward to that.

Yea, really good space for games. Lots of space and breathing room, it would be a perfect spot for a tournament.

I'm considering going to the escalation tournament at RIW on Sunday. However, after theory crafting potential squads at each point level, the 150pt game soooooo much potential epicness. I don't even know how to prepare for that one.

I'm pretty excited!

I'm having the same problem. I find i either have TOO many ships, or too few ships with too many upgrades.

Heh... No such thing as too many ships! I want to see phil show up with HR + 11 APs

LOL. Exactly 150. With 11 APs, you know Howl will be nicely protected...

I find myself wanting to bring Firesprays, bombers, and Ints. 150 pts is dangerous. SOO many options!

What ever happened to your "is this the weekend I play rebels?"

One of these days, I may want to play a 300pt+ game and borrow everyone's X wings so I can fly a full squadron (12 Red = 276... But I mean, I think I have to include the members of Red Squadron at least (292) (And then Porkins = 295)... And then they all have PT obviously... (343) ... And the all have some astromech... R2D2 on Luke, R5D8 on Porkins, R5-K6 on Garven... And then generic R2/R5 on the others (361)... But it just doesn't seem fair to not give EPTs to the 3 that can take them... Marksmanship on Luke since he made that 1 in a million shot... Expert Handling on Wedge since no one can fly an X wing as well as he can, Determination on Porkins since he's determined he can hold it! (357)... But it would seem that Luke has an engine upgrade of sorts since R2 can boost the power to the engines (371). So yeah, let's play a 375 point match at some point... and can I borrow 7 X wings from someone

Off topic, I'm rather intrigued by the evolution of the squads as you progress through the escalation.

I have my escalation Rebel list already made up. It's just a matter of if i can come up with an Imp list that makes me go...oh yeah...i wanna play THAT instead!

Sounds like you're having an issue NOT saying "I wanna play that!"

Yeah, maybe that's it. Lack of sleep has turned my brain to mush.

Anyone coming to the event at Flat Land Games on Saturday?

Looks like I won't make it to the Sunday event, so Saturday it is!

I spent a lot of time on my escalation list too! I think I'll post it after the event.

Not me. I'm committed for Sunday, so there's no making it Saturday.

Good luck!

I'll probably come Saturday. Katie is getting her scuba certification, so unless I get a list of honey-do first, I should be fine to duck out for both days. Plus, I need to fight against you again Phil! Although I suppose that means I need to come up with a 100pt list =P. Can I proxy in Predator on Wedge? And Chaardan Refit + Test Pilot title on my GSP?

How long do you think the tourney Saturday might run? I might be able to make it.

Last time they did 3 rounds @ 60min iirc. So that means 1-4... plus setup time... I would think that it would be done between 5-5:30. But if they do 75min rounds, then it'll be an additional 45min. I don't see any reason for more than 3 rounds.

That reminds me...any guesses on Sunday's timeframe? I assume the escalation means 4 rounds at least. From there, you pick the winner, or have top whatever duke it out?

Yeah, 4 rounds. 45min R1, 60min R2, 75min R3, 90min R4, per FFG's standard escalation rules.

So then with a 1pm start, 4.5hrs of playing, plus 15min setup / assigning players between matches... figure 5.5hrs total, putting the end around 6:30... just in time to go grab a round of drinks!

Looks like I'm in for Saturday at Flatland. I'm assuming Aces are legal?

Hey Johdo, Can you change Flat Land games on the initial posting to Tuesdays 6:00-close when you get a chance?

Also it looks like I won't be making it to RIW tomorrow, but I'm going to try.
