Photos now embedded below, no need for a link to an external photo page.

I use postimage.  You can mass upload and direct link using insert other media.

Would love to see all those photos!

[elbmc1969 182]

Anybody know how to contact Ryan Anderson? I have a bunch of photos of squadrons he painted and I'd like get his OK for posting the photos below and/or send them to him.

Also, I'm looking for the 4th round pairings, preferably by table. If no one has that, IDs for as many players as possible would be appreciated.

Edited February 28, 2018 by elbmc1969
IDed Ryan Anderson as painter of the squadrons.

[BrobaFett 4,209]

Once we get the list data plugged in (Is that still a thing @Cactusman? Hadn't heard if you still needed help with that) it would be easier to ID people.

Round 2

PM me if you're OK with me adding your username to the captions!

First player and objective played information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1arXdWR5cjIBRatACxJGqP__PBKbneE2_utVIR9n4xzc/edit?usp=sharing

First player* is marked with an asterisk. Objective played is in parenthesis after the second player's name.

I'm not sure who was on which side of the table for most of the games.

Elijah Kagan @kaganator22 (Sensor Net) vs Michael Vassallo*--Table 1

Elijah eventually moved in a fridge and a couch, since he spent the rest of the tournament camped at table 1.

Elijah had the MC75.

 

David Shanebeck @mr_mithrandir (Contested Outpost) vs Mark Goddard* @themightyhedgehog--Table 2

El Hadad* vs Nicholas Brown (Superior Positions)--Table 3

Nicholas on the left, El on the right with the amazing ISD.

 

If you look really closely, you can see the LEDs in the front view of the ISD.

Ryan Anderson* vs Sam Hall (Solar Corona)--Table 4

Sam on the left, Ryan on the right.

Kevin Guevara* vs Eric Clousen @Tiberius the Killer (Planetary Ion Cannon)--Table 5

 

Peter ***** vs Colin Looney (Salvage Run)--Table 6

 

Matthew Sipek* vs Connor Palacio (Solar Corona)--Table 7

I'm afraid I just missed this table! I was running around, trying to photograph each table as they finished setup, so my photos weren't in order by table. Let me know if any of the action photos in the next post are of table 7.

Brian Pua* vs Matt Moncrief @BrobaFett (Navigational Hazards)--Table 8

Anthony Cohen (Solar Corona) vs Graham Hamner*--Table 9

 

Lucas Buendia (Advanced Gunnery) vs Patrick Wilson*--Table 10

Sam Simon @MandalorianMoose (Sensor Net) vs Brad Stevens*--Table 11

Brogan Wassell* vs Thomas Vollum (Opening Salvo)--Table 12

Kristen Coleman (Advanced Gunnery) vs Joshua Posey* @thecactusman17--Table 13

Yeah, the Rebels only deployed one ship ... I think that this is after the first Rebel activation.

Andrew Grantham (Contested Outpost) vs Alex Lee*--Table 14

Mackenzie Dalla Lana* vs Christian Gastelum (Opening Salvo)--Table 15

I'd just seen Mackenzie's match against Norm Weir at the Toronto Regionals on YouTube! What the heck? "Do you roam North America in an RV, playing in tournaments?"

Griffin Bertalot (Planetary Ion Cannon) vs Robert Ramirez*--Table 16

Round 2 Action Shots

I haven't sorted these by table or captioned all of them. Please PM me with any notes.

 

Table 5 Kevin Guevara* vs Eric Clousen @Tiberius the Killer

"His Liberty Raddus-dropped right in front of my Assault Frigate (which just barely fit between my A-wing, his flotilla, and the Frigate).  His flotilla was placed perfectly so that my frigate could not escape.  This led him to a 6, 5 victory.  It was a good game."
--Eric

Ryan Anderson's Squadrons

Ryan said to me, "I've just started painting, so these aren't very good."

If anyone knows how to contact Ryan, I'd like to confirm that's it's OK to post these.

Table 4

Not sure who is on which side of the table. Should be Ryan Anderson and Sam Hall, but Ryan is at the far left.

 

So that's me, also on the left, I was judging a very close measurement for them.  Sam is the one in the hat on the right.

The lists are all entered here, although you'd have to cross-reference with the standings to connect fleet to place to name.

Thanks Balt, I had offered to help with the data input and never heard back so I just wanted to make sure it got where it needed to go. Thanks!

[elbmc1969 182]

Added a few photos to existing posts and added a lot more captions and information. Please help with IDing people!

If you're in a picture, or a game you played is, PM me with permission to add your username along with your real name.

I'm addition to adding photos for rounds 3 and 4. I'm going to post fleet lists somewhere and insert links to the fleet lists all over. I think I need to set up a routine (automation through VBA?) to import the information from @Baltanok Google sheet into Excel, save as tab-deliniated text, and then open the text files in Word to find the tabs and replace them with line or paragraph breaks. Thoughts or assistance on how to bang the list into a readable format, and then to post them, are appreciated (especially actual help).

It's ok to post these! Thanks for the encouragement!

Also, thank you for taking these great pictures while we played. I appreciate it.
