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.

@ 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

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.

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

--squad sent--
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.

*PtV 5 Tulak Hord, Lord of Hate
Errata: Remove Darth
Errata CE: Non-Unique Sith allies without a Force rating get +4 Attack, +10 Damage, and gain Identical Forces. Gloom Walker, Lost Tribe, and Sith Eternal allies ignore this effect.
*PotDS 3 Dark Force Nexus
Errata: Cost 20
Glossary Entry: Darth: Counts as a character whose name contains Darth. Characters whose names contain Darth also count as Darth for purposes of effects.
Errata: Dark Nexus (Set up on your half of the battle map at least 5 squares from the center. Cannot gain Force points. Whenever this character activates, remove 1 Force point from it. You may then add 1 Force point to 1 ally whose name contains Darth within 6 squares. Darth allies within 6 squares can spend their own Force points once per turn and spend Force points from this character once per turn. When this character has no Force points or no Darth allies, it is immediately defeated. No more than 1 character with Dark Nexus per squad.)
Errata: Easy Path (Force 1, replaces attacks: Move 1 ally with a Force rating and Melee Attack within 6 squares up to 6 squares. That character then loses 1 Force point and takes 10 damage; save 11.)
*Identical Forces
Glossary Entry: Identical Forces: At the end of its turn, this character can switch positions with an ally within 6 squares who is the same size and has Identical Forces. A character can only have their position changed once per round by this ability.
*ITT 2 General Vaklu, Defender of Onderon
Errata CE: At the start of the skirmish, choose 1 Unique Medium ally with a lightsaber. That ally gains Stifling Attack for the rest of the skirmish.
*ATTA 28 The Mandalorian (Din Djarin) and the Child
Errata: Remove Survival Expert +2 and change to Tribe Intervention [The first time this character's hit points are reduced to half or less, up to 3 Mandalorian allies may move up to their Speed without provoking attacks of opportunity, then an ally within 6 squares may make an immediate attack]
*DotF 1 Bastila Shan, Jedi Master
Errata: Starting Force changed to Force 2.
*CotG 27 Admiral Daala
Unbanned: Admiral Daala is now unbanned for organized tournament play.
**********************************************************************************
There will be no characters banned for this tournament. We are going to continue the use of Divisions to encourage more people to join and for the tournament to go a little quicker. Open to suggestions as always for ways to improve this format! Hope you all can join! Rules: Each participant makes a initial 125pt team following normal squad building rules. For returning players from our previous GE tournament (Spring 2026), you must build a 125pt squad from a different faction than in that tournament. If returning from another earlier tournament (prior to Spring 2026), you must also build a 125pt squad from a different faction than the one you used in that tournament. Rounds 1-4 will consist of matchups between all participants in round robin in your division and a random matchup with a player (or players) from the other division. The 125pt team used will be built upon in subsequent rounds. Important note: If you use a Reinforcements piece, you must submit your up to 10 separate lists of preferred reinforcements prior to the start of a rounds matchups. @ Mando. With 10 players, are we playing 5 rounds total, with rounds 1-3 consisting of 125pts, 175pts, and 225pts, and rounds 4-5, both being at 375pts? ( 4 matches against the players in your division and 1 match against a player from the other division?)
