Final Victory - Official CTA Tournament - May 5th

I read it as A, but re-reading it, the "also add" does suggest B. Which does make it a raather unbalanced fight, if one player has an Armageddon ship and another's highest is Battle. 7 point Raid vs 13 point...

Answer needed :)
 
i believe the intention was B when matt originally forwarded it to us.
yes you can take an armageddon ship, which will probably do ok for that fight, but then next fight the other person will have 3 other battle level vessels untouched.
 
I've PM'd this question to Matt, and he has replied that B is in fact the correct version:

The highest PL ship in your main fleet roster is included, in ADDITION, to your 5 point Raid selection.

Certainly changes my fleet selection a little ;)
 
can we have a list of whose got places at the tourney ?
I sent my £5 but didn't get confirmation yesterday
thanks
 
Yeah, I could do with confirmation also - have sent my money in but nothing back.

And yes, I was reading it as B, and have chosen my fleet accordingly. The latter 2 battles will definately be interesting ;)
 
Me too. The last couple of tourneys only had ten players (VaS and BF:E). If that's the case this time, there will be a lot of disappointed folk.
 
I just phone up and pay by credit card, saves the hassle ;)
Why don't you guys just phone and ask if you're in?
 
I paid by Credit Card - looking forward to fighting all these Victory's and Vorlon Heavy Cruisers in battle 3 - or not :D

Yes, I may be looking at losing a few points for sportsmanship by withdrawing my precious transports early in the first 2 games :)

Hash's sportsmanship points system was the best I've seen. Both players give a score, and then they both get points equal to the average of the two. So bad players will not give good players a 0 to gain an advantage, and good players will not be afraid of giving 0 to a bad player.

I agree in theory but I think it has to be secret as everyone just gives each other the same score when yopu are standing next to each other.....which is what happened and why Hash said on the day it was not working............
 
yeah but they will have smaller fleets for final battle.
also vorlons will have fun trying to compete in the skirmish games.
plsu you're a centauri player arnt you? take an adira.
 
TBH I can't find any really good Vorlon or Shadow fleets that can compete in all the games well. Centauri on the other hand, have a massive advantage. Adira for battle 3, Prefects and Corvans for 1 & 2...
 
Tell me about it - I think Centauri will probably own all 4 games; they have amazing skirmish ships, and fantastic ships for the upper selection. Contrarywise, Vorlons and Shadows have very limited selections of well... mediocre ships.
Disadvantage is that as soon as you hear 'you're facing vorlon/shadows' you know exactly what fleet you will be facing in the 5pt skirmish games - destroyer/fighters or transports/fighters or... scouts/fighters. There is no variation.
The option to take a VHC or Shadow Ship is nice, but as has been said you only have any real chance of winning 2/4 battles, so you're not going to get a good tourney result.
 
Hey remember - last place person me!!! :D

Have not got an Adira - so Octurion is the best I can do (my fault I know)
Don't use Prefects on principle :)

I have shiny GOLD dice instead!!!! (so cool thanks to all who beet me at last tourni!) :shock: :D

I also think Vorlons / Shadows have limted choices - I having wittered on about it on various threads!

Anyway was not a complaint - looking forward to killing the big uns with my Maximus!

have fun!
 
OHHH Nasty - thats not very nice!!!! :shock:

I think it was out of about 12 - got absolutely slaughtered by Vorlons - killed all my ships without loss ....... :cry:

then defeated EA Missiile stylee fleet and some strange green League fleet :D (I know Brakari) :D

got hammered by the Shadows and Vorlons at the next tournment and the Brakari - and oh yeah hammered by the Minbari as well!
 
i've not got an Adira but Matt has ok'd use of the Octurian as a stop gap, i asked counter but i guess mini is also ok.
