Very cute music vid.

[Darth Veggie 995]

Bump. Direly needed. 'Was already on page 3! 

[JJs Juggernaut 1,843]

Haha! Yeah, all the information is going to the round one thread in the organized play subforum.

[BiggsIRL 6,717]

Needs more trash talk.  You're going down in Round 2 JJ, in the ~25% chance we are paired against one another!

[doobleg 658]

Just need the first page links to be availble on the thread for each new round and we're sorted.

You're BOTH going down, in the 50% chance I'm paired against either one of you.

Ok, I get what you're trying to say, but why the sub thing? I'm so confused.

Its generally referred to in other games system involving swiss, where you take an early Loss to hit the middle of the Day in the middle of the Pack, where you can Club some Baby Seals and rise to the Top that way...

Hence the, "Not riding on the surface in front the whole time, but submarining under the surface until the very end."

Round 1 complete.

Round 2 starts now - ending on Sunday, May 28th:

I'm not a trash-talking kind of player to people I haven't met, so I'll just leave it at that.  ;-) This post did remind me though that I forgot to Counter with Jan many, many times.

How is one supposed to remember that she has counter? She is there to be not attacked herself!

Yeah, I heard about the theory that she has counter. Probably my most often forgotten trait in Armada as well. Darn. 

Green Knight, could you please write it on the squad mini on Vassal? 

[Undeadguy 5,749]

Had an issue where I couldn't pull up the set up area. Happened after @GiledPallaeon loaded his fleet and mine got deleted. Any ideas?

Double-arcing most things with a star destroyer tends to have an effect.

Map packs. Playing with a map pack extension can do this. Pick a map high in the list if your opponent does not have the map pack extension. 

Did Giled load continuation or load saved game.

^ This.

If the play area is an uniform, dull grey, and you can't seem to scroll the map, then you're missing whatever background your opponent loaded on startup.

Which means he's using the map pack and you're not.

No, I started the game and picked the blue-green one.

The second time we tried, I got that screen. I have the map pack installed too.

Did you join too quickly, before he had started a new game?

No, the game was going. I made sure of that. My fleet was also deployed. The second game was the blue-green rift as well.

[JJs Juggernaut 1,843]

I have seen this happen rarely before. Not sure what causes it, but it's almost like after some player loads a fleet they hit the spend forward button one to many times and everything except the map disappears on the table. I know that's probably not what is actually happening, but usually the undo button has gotten everything back for me.

Round 3 ready for action:

The CORRECT deadline should be Sunday 18th June (due to Euros it gets a bit longish).
