Vassal Tourney Results

[katadder]

well we finally have a result. Dave had some serious bad luck and we saw the return of Romus crit machine (had taken out 2 ships effectively after 1 and half ships firing).

Overall Winner: Romu
Sportsmanship Award: Triggy

congrats guys and thanks for everyone who took part.

Congratz man !

 

[Triggy]

Congratulations Romu and commiserations Dave on the result. Shame I couldn't watch it as I was busy this evening (after initially thinking it was 1pm BST and being able to watch).

Thanks Steve for all of your work behind the scenes compiling results, fleet rosters, etc.

Also, thanks to Mongoose and Ian Barstow for providing the prizes and help putting together the tournament pack design.

It's been great fun and I hope we can do another in the not too distant future!

Congrats to Romu

And thanks to all my opponents.

I'll do better next time!

I through 75 AD of weapons of which 55 were double damage or better and scored 36 damage and 47 crew total with zero crits. Romu had 10 total hits of which 7 were crits. They were a 3/6, 4/3, 2x 4/1, a 6/1, and a 6/4.

Not too pleased right now.

[Romu]

The game was certainly disappointing for a final, too bad it started like this.

Anyway thanks again to everyone involved in the tournament, it gave me the opportunity to meet (in a manner of speaking) many great people.

Now i shall give a little in return, I am planning an acta vassal 2nd edition campaign for those that didn't know yet.
Give me a few weeks to get the new rules and read them, then I'll post a new thread about it.
If anyone is interested, just send me a pm, this is just preliminary but i would like to have an idea of how many people would be interested

thats harsh man. I played a game the other night and got two crits from 78 hits... on a ship I had killed with the previous dice :-(
I somethimes think Vassal dice roller is about as random as a not very random loaded dice :-(

you made plenty of 6+ saves though for pak redundancy. so it swings in roundabouts.
does seem vassal takes a likeing to differant people in differant games.

6+ saves mean nothing when one person gets all of the criticals, and none of them are bad, and the other player gets none. The RNG is pants.

As has been established many times, the RNG for Vassal is solid (and that's from both a statistical analysis and from several people analysing the source code itself).

Part of the problem may actually lie in that it's more random than real dice where all sorts of things have an effect that can't affect RNGs such as the orientation of the dice in a person's hand and that the dice only "roll" a very limited distance/number of revolutions.
