Hey everyone, I've put together all the info that I think you'll need to decide whether or not you'd like to play in the N/U Wars Vassal League.
Please see that thread for details, but here's the quick summary:
--We start in the first week of January (2021).
--1 game per week. Schedule it with your opponent at a mutually-beneficial time.
--Non-Uniques only, and no character costing more than 20pts.
--150 pt squads, with 8pt Gambit.
--Round-Robin format. Top Cut afterward based on the number of participants.
--Talz Chieftain is banned. More to come if something rises up as a major NPE or broken piece in this format.
Please sign up in this thread if you're interested!

Sounds really fun! i'd love to join!
I love the idea of this format! it opens up tons of squad possibilities and we can use pieces we hardly every get to play. lots of theory crafting will be done in anticipation lol

I think the talz chieftain would need to be banned

I'm thinking that the BX Spotter/BX Sniper combo could end up being a real problem.
Do you guys think that perhaps limiting squads to just 1 character whose name contains "BX" would solve it?

Sounds good to me. i'm not sure the Talz chieftan is that much of a problem to warrant being banned....he's strong for sure but it's not like he is making every non-unique get +4/+10 since its only fringe non-uniques that he helps out. I was a little worried about the Skyborn Ranger on Uvak but i see that there are some counters to him if you build your squad right in certain factions, so i think it'll be fine to allow them. There is a couple of fringe counters, so every faction has access to a way to deal with a battering charge attack.

I had thought about the Ithorian Commander, but he only works for melee figures, and those figures won't be getting Charging Fire so I'm wondering if they'll be too easy to avoid. At this point I wasn't expecting that piece to be too much of a problem. And Mando, you make some good points about the Talz Chieftain too. We have some time before the league starts, so let's continue to gather intel. We'll finalize the ban list after Christmas at some point.

I'll play.
Can we make a different squad each round or is it the same squad for the whole league?

You can change your squad every week if you'd like. The only restriction is simply that you can't use the same faction for two weeks in a row (though I guess you could conceivably alternate between the same two squads for the entire league if you wanted to).

I've updated the "Banned Characters" section on the first post of the main thread to address the BX Spotter/Sniper nonsense. At this point no other characters are banned (though we'll keep an eye on the Talz Chieftain).
