i replaced 2 of the maps from the restricted list with Command Deck and Simulation Deck, both of which i think could be interesting to see on a restricted list in the coming years. See the original post for the updated map choices. Warriors Enclave and Cloud City are both not going to be used in this tournament.

my squad and map is submitted to another person, so everyone can send me their squads and maps for round 1 when you are ready to before the deadline.

@ Mando.


In regards to the activation cap in "GE", is it 16 acts ( counting Reinforcements and Reserves ) in rounds 125, 175, and 225, then 19 acts max at 375? If I am wrong, please clarify and explain.


Thanks ThumpUp

That's what it was for all the previous iterations, and Mando hasn't announced a change. Though Reserves wouldn't be included in the character limit, it's only the number before the first initiative.

@DarthMaim gandalf is correct. the rules haven't changed with regards to the max number of activation you can have. 19 is the maximum you can have in round 4. You can include a character with reinforcements and reserves in the 3 activations you add in round 4. The reinforcements you are able to bring in tho need to be with the 19 activation cap in mind because that is the character limit before the first init. Reserves however are the only way to exceed the 19 activation cap.

One week left for signups! If any players want to join but the format looks terrifying, just 'borrow' a squad from last year's Spring or Fall Escalation ;)

If people are wondering how divisions are made, I have the 2 divisions set with 4 players each for the tournament based off how people performed in the last GE. If we get a couple more players to join i'll add one of the players to each division. If there is an odd number total, we can work with that by adding a bye for the division with the odd number. Still 5 days until the tournament starts, so if anyone else wants to sign up feel free to post on here! Excited to see so many people joining the Fall GE tournament again and it will be very interesting to see how the new V-set 30 pieces impact things!

Just a reminder to everyone that;

According to Tint, "Gambit is always 5% of the point total (5pts for 100, 10pts for 200, etc)".

So gambit rules for each round are the following;

125 = 6 pt mini
175 = 9 pt mini
225 = 11 pt mini
375 = 19 pt mini"



As far as the scoring for match points;

125 pts =
Full 125 pts ( or full opponent squad pt total ) = 3 pts
Win at any pts = 2 pts
Loss at 63 pts or higher = 1 pt
Loss at 62 pts or lower= 0 pts

175 pts =
Full 175 pts ( or full opponent squad pt total ) = 3 pts
Win at any pts = 2 pts
Loss at 88 pts or higher = 1 pt
Loss at 87 pts or lower = 0 pts

225 pts =
Full 225 pts ( or full opponent squad pt total ) = 3 pts
Win at any pts = 2 pts
Loss at 113 pts or higher = 1 pt
Loss at 112 pts or lower = 0 pts

375 pts =
Full 375 pts ( or full opponent squad pt total ) = 3 pts
Win at any pts = 2 pts
Loss at 188 pts or higher = 1 pt
Loss at 187 pts or lower = 0 pts"

Randy said he would join too, making things an even number.
If he doesn't join, I can drop to keep things even.

quick note about Simulation Deck map:

The map has some graphical issues and it is kinda hard to tell what the features are on the map. the double doors are just treated like a single door and there are some pits on the map that i think should be treated like that. There are some glowing door features on the map that also should be treated like a huge door that needs to be opened like normal.

Actually, if you zoom in and look closely at the map, those glowing door features are actually doors...they've got the little blue squares that indicate a door.
