VWC Pod Game 1 (Geek19)

 Geek19's Plo list vs CadetVW's Bail Bricks The Vassal World Cup is upon us and I had the privilege of playing the illustrious Geek19 s my first match in POD Leia.  You may know him from such Armada blogs as cannotgetyourshipout and Blissfully Ignorant Gaming .  So you might say he knows a thing or two about Armada.  This would both be our first match so a major win here could set the tone for the rest of our POD games.   Geek19's Fleet That's a lot of bombers that can lock down redirects Nevoota Bee and Plo powered ARC-170s can dish out some mean damage and his Jedi in the squad ball will surely help melt my meager squad ball quickly enough to let those ARCs begin their bombing runs.  The ships themselves are alright at either staying out of the fight (consular), being a little tankier than their points suggest (Peltas), OR just being a major part of the list but somehow still 79 points (Nevoota Bee).  This is very much a combined arms fleet with every ship and squads

Brought to you by the great folks over at Blissfully Ignoirant Gaming .

Think World Cup (Soccer/Football) with a POD phase similar to the group phase. You get to play everyone in your POD and the 2 players with the highest scores move on and compete in a Swiss Round tournament, just like a normal Armada tournament. From there it goes to a sudden death/elimination bracket for the top 4i
