Bye Bye B5 Tournament

[Burger]

It didn't mess up my plans at all.

I likes Omegas!

just meant you couldn't tailor everything to a specific level.

you know, this is Marks tourney, how have i ended up doing all this stuff lol.

He he, when work comes it really hits you!

I only ask as it messes up my Vorlon fleet quite significantly (with no Raid PL choice) that I've just finished painting. I'll have to make a decision whether to take 4 FAPs in the Skirmish PL game now or give away loads of VPs in the Battle PL game through Fighter deaths...

Edit - actually I've just worked out that the only way I can sort it is to take a Destroyer in the Skirmish PL game... here goes nothing!

As opposed to my poor Shadows who I have to use 2 Scouts in the first if i want a decent fleet in the next two...............least you can take 5 transports :wink:

Hopefully this will help the chances of BOTH fleets getting a new ship in the forthcoming supplement - and not just the usual bias towards the manipulative Vorlons :wink:

 

[Triggy]

yeah, it messed up my selection too, I have to take a ship i would never go near with anyones pointy stick usually.... damn!

I'm trying to think of the ships this could be (not knowing your fleet). It could be:
EA Orestes Battleship
Psi Corps Fighter Carrier
Drazi Nightfalcon/Stormfalcon
Abbai Bimith
ISA Liandra/Nolo'Tar
Shadow Fighter (unlikely)

Now most of these can be worked around but the Skirmish PL ships are the hard ones to avoid, along with "having" to take a Patrol PL choice to give options at the low end if you want initiative sinks.

I'm putting my money on you having a Psi Corps fleet with the second choice being ISA. At least I'll be doing my usual with the Vorlons - newly assembled fleet so zero preparation games and going into it with only the memory of playtesting them! (it seems to work for most tournaments!!!)

Well the ships I'd angle for are a Vorlon Frigate (similar to what you've already discussed) and a Shadow Transport (as seen in Shadow Dancing carrying Anna) - something pretty defensive but at least they'd have the option. We'll see how things pan out though with Mongoose not producing any miniatures for a while...

Good luck to you and may you face an ISA fleet in your first round

nice thought process but wrong

my psi corps are still boxed and un-built. still awaiting my ninja stands before i consider building and painting them.
and ISA? i feel so insulted right now, damned cheesey goody two shoes...

Well the other option (if it's not on the list there) is EA Crusade and you don't like Hyperions. (not couning a Raiders fleet...)

If it is on the previous list, do I at least get bonus points for thinking of it originally? Of course, now I'm probably just digging myself a big hole

your just lucky I can't use hyperspace - especially for the last battle :shock: :lol:

Hoping for a reasonable amount of terrain now

re transport - yep be nice - I made one up for mine so its possible..............and of course needed

see you there

 

[Burger]

If there's money being thrown around then I put mine on Minbari, cos you asked to borrow some of my Tinashis!

TOROTHA 4TW!!

 

[Triggy]

I guess I'll just have to spam you with Vorlon Fighters then. I hear massed beams against Shadows isn't a good thing.

 

[Da Boss]

Ah well probably depends on how random the beam rolls are :wink:

Chance of inflicting 7 damage (to pin a Scout) with 1AD of precise beam is 1.3% And yes, that includes crits...

 

[H]

sounds like a challenge ;-)

No, I'm assumning previous fighter attacks got rid of them

 

[Da Boss]

sad but true - been there ............

 

[Burger]

Okay, I just rolled 1 million Vorlon Fighter attacks for a laugh. 1520 (0.152%) of them instakilled the Scout! Not surprisingly, 1394 of those kills invloved a 6-6 crit

 

[Triggy]

But this is where having 12 of the little buggers is going to help

 

[Da Boss]

Yeah its a good job Shadow Fighters are better than Vorlon ones or it would seem unfair that they come 3 to a patrol point rather than 2........

oh wait - something not right there.............. :wink:

In P&P Shadow Fighters will definitely either get a boost in abilities or a boost in numbers! Don't think we haven't listened...shame it won't help you tomorrow

 

[Da Boss]

ah excellent news - Chaos shall yet overcome the minions of Order.........

as for tommorow - we shall see, we shall see young Vorlon

We watched you grow and evolve from chaos of the early galaxy and we shall watch you disolve into chaos again ..................everything does.
