november 11th tourney scenarios

[katadder]

hey guys you checked the tourney pack out yet, we got assassination as the most likely scenario, with CTA and border dispute as the others should be interesting. and only CTA allows for ships in hyperspace so there goes alot of amubushes.

 

[Burger]

Yeah, does look interesting.

Although the Assassination does give an advantage to small-ship-swarm fleets, since doubling up the VP's of one of them won't be much, whereas doubling up a Battle ship will mean virtually instant victory if it is destroyed.

 

[katadder]

there is that, lose your battle level ship in assassination and better hope you can wipe out the entire enemy fleet. actually thats more than likely gonna push people into the swarms which i a bad thing. guess we wont see many battle level ships at this tourney then.

Intriguing... so many possibilities for a minbari fleet, but picking one that works over all three scenarios is tough. The possibility of putting two Tigaras or 4 torothas into an enemy fleet at close range is nice, but only in 2/6 games :S
The idea of taking a Morshin is good, but you know it's going to have assassins after it...

I haven't got access to my emails at moment.

Not familliar with assasination, presume you have to kill one ship.

or border dispute??

What are the relevant techniques for these games?

My Purple Drazi will be bringing one battle level drazi ship, everything else will be skirmish or patrol. Guess I have to nominate the big ship?

If I hide with it I lose much of my firepower, so think I shall just have to go down in a blaze of glory

What about border dispute, what is that all about??

You nominate one of your opponent's ships, to be worth double VP. I guess you keep it written face down on a piece of paper or whatever, so you opponent doesn't know which, and you can't change your mind later.

border dispute is a scenario in armageddon, you start off just posturing and get "fake" damage for every AD you can direct at a ship, so narn do well at this stage. however at any point the battle can become real by firing properly.

 

[Burger]

Hmm, that opens a whole new can of powergaming
Making it "real" on the last ship of the last turn....... hope to cripple/destroy a small ship, hence win...

 

[katadder]

i can see the long range races: minbari/centauri making it real straight away so as to not have that damn nanr bat squad up close before opening fire.

 

[Captain Kremmen]

Never looked at the border dispute scenario before.

So would it be good for a Drazi to open fire early or hold on.....

My fleet is very manouvrable, I suspect it would be better to hold on and try and get behind the bad guys?

[Burger]

Personally if I get that scenario, I'd make it real ASAP so the enemy doesn't surprise me.

 

[katadder]

damn right, real straight off for me too. pity they put the assassination scenario in, mongoose got something against big ships? i dont expect to see anything bigger than raid at the tourney, battle ships are just an automatic win for your opponent at 40vp give away.
