Just so my opinion is very clearly known, 15 points for Gambit is WAY TOO HIGH. My main piece was untouched by the end of the game, yet he still won. Credit to SYM for doing so well and winning, but Gambit being worth that much is just ridiculous.

It speeds up the game way too much. I had 63 points worth of characters left, he had 18. I lost. By all rights I should have won.

Well unfortunately I think it should be kept as-is for this League. Changing mid-season would be bad. My solution would've been to ban Override, but whatever. I just think for future leagues, you should be aware that 15 points of gambit per round is ludicrous.

I disagree that things move slower in these older games. If it weren't for the Vassal medium, I'd get all my games done in under an hour. I just think the 15-point gambit increase was a clumsy work-around the fact that there were pieces with Override and no Satchel Charge in early games. My solution: ban override.

I've not faced Override so I can't speak to its problems in this format. I have a big problem with 15 point gambit. You figure 5 points per round in a standard 200 point match nets you 2.5% of the total Victory Points per round. 15 points per round and you're making 10% of the Victory Points EACH round. I just don't think that handing over that many points is conducive to a good game. Like in my scenario with SuperYodaMan, all he had left were two pot-shotters, and I had a full HP main beat. It just doesn't make sense that I would lose in that scenario.

how do you guys do this?

I have to agree here. While this 15 point Gambit scoring does make games faster and forces you to engage pieces, I think it makes the game go a little too fast and normal gambit forces you to engage anyway. The only thing such a high-scoring gambit does is make you ignore most figures under 15 points to take out your opponent's figures that can score gambit, even if it's not necessarily the most tactically advisable. I also agree with Demos on that such high gambit scoring does sometimes prove to make unfair situations like he described earlier. Truth be told, the turn immediately after I killed one of his figures which gave me enough points to win, he killed the my figure that had been sitting on gambit the whole game, and it was the last figure I had that was capable of scoring gambit. In a normal format, if our game had been played exactly the same that it was, dice rolls and all, there's no way I would have won. The only reason I did is because I had a figure with a huge amount of HP sitting on gambit, with me betting on his attacks missing just long enough for me to collect the gambit points I needed. On the same token, I don't necessarily believe that 5 points for gambit is enough for this format. With squads only 75% the size of normal DCI tournament squads, I think gambit should be worth slightly more than normal, like 10 points in this format. That way, gambit is easier for both sides to get, and it doesn't factor into the game nearly as heavily. I don't think this should be changed halfway through the league, though.

I also disagree with nerfing Override. In this format, there are only 3 figures with override: R2 from RS, Lobot from RS, and R2 from RotS. All three of these figures are R/VR, and really their only purpose is for Override. If you nerfed Override, you'd be essentially taking away a player's rare figure from their pulls for the week if they got one of these three figures. Besides, if you nerfed Override, you'd have to do the same for Door Gimmick. Nerfing abilities in a booster league is unfair in my opinion. If anything, I'd say no Mas Amedda, Mouse Droids, GOWK, Boba BH, or Cad Bane.

do u guys do this over the web?

Confirmed. Vassal Dice were actually good to me, making me realize a cure: lose a large amount of money at the casino beforehand to absorb any bad luck.

are you guys doing this online if so how?
