Sentient Rabbits Tourney - approx May08

TGT

Banded Mongoose
Hi as we saw so many Dilgar players on saturday I wonderd if people would like a tourney based around the Dilgar War? We haven't decided on the format as yet (1pt Armg maybe too much for some players fleets as you'll see why in a second...

The Tourney would be split hopefully 8-10 places for either League (not Gaim), mixed league or EA early Era (Forces of liberation) and the same for Dilgar Imperium players (those are the bad guys..booo!).

The Dilgar list would be as is in 2nd ed
The EA early era would be as is in 2nd ed restricted to a 2 sagg max
we would do a restricted LONAW listing for all memeber races.
No Gaim
We will also be working out a Hyach and Ballosian fleet based upon AOG's Dilgar war reference book.
you will also be able to take a mixed LONAW and early EA fleet with whichever starfuries (I think Nova's) they had.

Also based upon AOG's Dilgar war reference book, and to add a bit of interest, we would also look to have 2 admirals. Admirals would
assign assets to a campaign map, adminisered by me TGT the tourney organiser.
Both admirals would also play fleets and if needed i would make up the numbers on either sides.
so we would have best admiral, 1st-3rd place, best painted, and the wooden spoooooo..n

A tourney pack will be available in a month and a half at most.

The location would be the same in Aldershot but we would try to open up a sunday rather than saturday, to ease concerns over space and also table numbers. We are provisionally looking at May.

If people are (provisionally) interested please reply with;
1. a vote on touney pts favoured
i.e 5 raid 1 pt armg etc
2. favoured race i.e LONAW, LONAW mixed, EA early era or Dilgar
please also indicate if you could play either side
3. also if you'd like to be an Admiral

Kind thanks and thanks to Tank for Saturdays tourney
 
Well myself and most of the yeovil lot would probably be interested but if its a sunday I cant promise it as our club runs then and most of the ACTA players comprise our comitee (and closing the entire club so we can go play ACTA seems a tad unfair on the rest :P).

If it was a saturday I'd say yes definitely, as it stands I'll have to make it a 'maybe' :P

Oh and thanks to Tank and Co for saturday, it was great fun :)
 
Count me in with Drazi!
FAPs would depend on the format of the battles. One idea would be to make it mini-campaign: select a 5pt Battle fleet, first game is 5 Skirmish, second 5 Raid, third whatever's left. That way everyone will have at least somethign left, even if they get wiped out in the first 2 games. Just don't over-complicate the refit/repair rules.
 
OI! I'm doing a dilgar war campaign weekend, you steal my thunder! I'll get you next time you pesky kids!!
 
May? umm, I have a couple of dates i'm waiting for but should all be sorted with my car and suchlike. Is it a saturday or sunday? sundays are way easier for me.

I of course expect reciprocal turnout at the campaign weekend ;-)

oh but if it goes ahead, i can play um, Brakiri, or Brakiri... if you use ISD's though, I'm boned.
 
Definite provisional interest here.

Points depends on format 1Arm as a pool should be ok, not so good fielding all at once.
Mixed LoNAW I expect.
Non-admiral.
 
I may add them to my forthcoming supplement with your blessing. of course adding new ships for a tourney? bad plan in my opinion purely because half the players won't know a thing about them!

what? where did that post go?!
 
TGT said:
yep thought that after i posted it
so removed it

d'oh! anyhow, As I am doing a supplement, if you want your hyach in I can do that, just mail or PM them to me.

ta. they look familiar... and gross!! :-)
 
I'm definitely interested... not really bothered about fleet sizes etc (as long as its not too high) i'd prefer to bring Dilgar, but could probably swing a League or EA fleet by then... 8)
 
I am very interested, athough I don't have an EA fleet available, so it would have to be Dilgar.

My preference would be 1 Point Armageddon.

Unless I could play Narn - I believe in the series the Narn were said to have sold weapons (ships) to the LONAW during the Dilgar War?

No Admirals Please - Also, I think the ships should be date restricted to those only available before the Dilgar disappeared.

I agree in principle, however in practice, it leaves the Brakiri for example with 2 ships the brikorta and the Corumai. a fleet which would not be legal in an armageddon point, unless you took 2 Corumai, or a wad of Brikortas'.
 
Seems a bit silly to have ships that weren't even invented until after the Dilgar had gone!

In which case - Don't take all Brakiri ships - Mix and Match.

I would like to see inception dates observed, if possible.
 
Looking through the 2nd ed pre 2232 fleet lists for all the LONAW and EA early era stuff
Theres not much to choose for for the LONAW above skirmish and raid level.
so as this is a factor in peoples fleet design I think the tourney format will be 5pt Raid but with no ship limit.
Can prospective players please have a look if they're interested and flag up any discrepencies before I carte blanche say only ships before and inc 2232 ID dates can be fielded.

I've seen one mistake which is the Avenger which will be inc.

If people are strongly against admirals thats fine it will be based upon the system Tank used Saturday
Although I will incl a post Tourney narative based upon results on the day for well known systems and events.
please see link for map of B5 space
Dilgar systems were in the top left
look for the black hole where Omelos used to be

As said, in principle this is the correct route to get the "feel" right, however, You can be sure that the league fleets DID have other ships that are not produced here. The Game was designed to balance the Dilgar with contemporary fleets, therefore, nerfing those fleets to an extent gives the dilgar players a huge advantage , I think a certain level of discretion needs to be applied for the league fleets.
I'm also interested as to how this works as a tounrney to some extent, will it be fixed to ensure the league players always face the dilgar, till the best of each essentially face off?
 
Okay - How about restricting the ships to pre-2232, but allowing the Narn and Centauri to join in - Both had contact with the Dilgar?

This would 'overcome' the assumed Dilgar advantage! :roll:
