Star Wars: Armada, Jakku Tourney 27th Dec 2015 Results!


We ran and concluded SOG's first Star Wars: Armada, the Jakku Tourney on 27th Dec 2015 at our usual SOG venue at Teck Ghee CC. It was a fantastic start to our 2016 Armada organised play events that saw ten players turn up to vie for the Jakku Tourney champion! We were all excited as this would be the first time Wave 2 ships features in a tournament!


The tourney was ran using FFG's latest tournament guidelines and rules FAQ released in December. There were three swiss rounds, each round players gained tournament points, with the cumulative total tournament points determining tourney winner. As per the tournament rules, the margin of victory is recorded (this proved important for this tourney).


The first swiss round kicked off at 1210hrs, followed by the second at 1430hrs and the last at 1700hrs. Each round is 135mins with time called approximately two hours in allowing every game to finish their current round regardless of how long that took.



The ten players were as follows, in no particular order:

Tet Hong Chia (Imperial Navy)
Fauzi (Imperial Navy)
Joshua Leong (Rebel Alliance)
Soh Ming Jian (Rebel Alliance)
Asmadi Bin Ahmad(Imperial Navy)
Asmizal Ahmad (Rebel Alliance)
Darren Tan (Imperial Navy)
Dickson Vooi (Rebel Alliance)
Mark Cordiner (Imperial Navy)
Alexander Yeo (Rebel Alliance)

For the first round, we matched Rebels against Empire fleet admirals as best we could, thereafter pairing was done via FFG tournament rules.

Joshua and Alexander tied for tournament points, so we consulted the Margin of Victory for both players. Alexander had a higher total MoV, making him the winner of the Jakku Tourney!

Winner: Alexander Yeo
Runner-up: Joshua Leong

We also have a Sportsmanship Award which went to Tet Hong Chia! Tet Hong patiently assisted on rules clarifications for other games throughout the tourney and displayed good temperament and enthusiasm in helping others. In fact just about all players displayed examples of good sportsmanship, thank you everyone for making this a pleasant experience for all!

Sportsmanship Award: Tet Hong Chia

 A shoutout goes out to Dickson Vooi for coming down all the way from Kuala Lumpur to take part in our tourney. A great player and hope this is the first of many trips!

Last but not least, a special mention to Darren Tan for generously contributing to the prize pool with official FFG ship cards. Darren is a talented illustrator who has worked with many popular games/universe IPs, including Star Wars and illustrated a number of the X-wing and Armada artwork for FFG. You can see find out more about his work here.

This was the first time SOG conducted a SW: Armada tourney. As organiser I take full responsibility for any inadequacies and mistakes made, and hope to improve next time! Thank you once again to everyone for participating, your patience and your kindness. We will be posting more photos and videos on our website and our Facebook page soon. Look out for our Armada League starting 1st Jan 2016!

Making a Dice Tray version 2.0

Image
So the previous dice tray worked well, but an unfortunate incident involving mould consigned it to the trash bin. Setting out to make a second one I decided I wanted a deeper tray as well as something more square in shape. The depth especially since while the previous one was adequate for small 12mm d6s, bigger dice have a tendency to careen out of the tray, especially in times of excitement (which is often in my games). This time I used a deep photo frame, a 25cm square Ribba . It is about 4cm deep and only 9.90SGD at the local Ikea. Again I used a cork sheet bought from Artfriend sandwiched where the photo would be and viola. Yet another photo dice tray, this time a deep one. Admittedly somewhat large but nice and deep. Great if you need to roll lots of dice. Total investment this amounts to less than $12. Pretty neat, I like it!

Building the Ultimate Gaming Table

Image
As gamers at some point we all fantasise about having a dedicated gaming room where all our prized games and miniatures can be displayed and brought out to play at a moment's notice, with no kids, parents or spouses to disturb a Very Important Activity.  Our dedicated gaming room will of course have a custom made gaming table with tricks and little creature comforts that not only make it fantastic to game on, but also a place where non-gaming items like drinks and stuff can be kept out of the way safely yet within reach. We can all dream and while a dedicated gaming room might not be feasible for most of us, a custom gaming table is a lot more achievable. Check out what a fellow tabletop gamer has done.  What I especially like is how he integrated his TV /monitor into the gaming surface so that it sits flush. The stained wood surfaces are a nice classy touch although personally I would preferred painting it all black or a dark mahogany. The TV and the inner surface can be c

SOG Game Highlight: Iliad

Image
One of the great card games we have at SOG is Iliad, a card game from Asmodee. First published in 2006, Iliad has become a classic and a favoured multi-player card game. In Iliad, which is based on the ancient Greek epic poem of the same name, each player is besieging Troy with the aim of winning sieges to take over Troy (or Helen, we will come to that later) Each player is deal a hand of ten army cards at the start. These army cards consists of hoplite, archers, chariots and various war-machines. Players take turns playing cards and the player with the highest army value at the end of the siege, wins the siege. Starting from the winner and highest army value of each army on the table, the spoils of wars are distributed, with the winner having first pick, followed by he second place, etc. The spoils consist of victory points cards with one negatve victory points card going to the lowest ranked player that siege. Furthermore victory points cards are divided into city and ship ca
