Star Wars: Armada - Escalation League
Thursdays
5/4 - 6/29/23
Star Wars Day 2023 sees the launch of a new Armada League at Atomic Empire!
In Star Wars: Armada, you assume the role of fleet admiral, serving with either the Empire, Rebels, Old Republic, or Separatists. It’s up to you to issue the tactical commands that will decide the course of battle and plan the strategy that will lead you to victory.
Structure:
This league will run 8 weeks, from May 4 through June 29.
During that time period, you will play 4 games of Armada, one game every two weeks.
Fleet Building:
Standings and pairings will be posted to the Longshanks page for this event, as well as to the Discord server. When you finish a game, please report the final score on Longshanks (by clicking Edit Game) or sending a message to Daniel (Imperial Conscript#8054) on Discord. When possible, please try to get a photo or two of your game in progress, and send those to Daniel as well!
Prizes:
Future leagues have the possibility of different formats, either standard play, a narrative campaign, or something else. I am open to suggestions! If you have input or questions, please email me at events@atomicempire.com

Fleet Building:
- Fleet point totals will have different caps each game, escalating until the final game.
- All Fleet Building Rules still apply.
- You must play the same Faction for the entirety of the league, but you may alter your fleet's composition from game to game.
- 4 games played over 8 weeks.
- Game 1: May 4 - May 17, 250 points
- Game 2: May 18 - May 31, 300 points
- Game 3: June 1 - June 14, 350 points
- Game 4: June 15 - June 29, 400 points
- Players will be assigned matches each week. Randomly for the first week, then subsequently based on their performance (essentially Swiss Rounds).
- While Thursday is the "official" league night, games may be played at any time within their assigned 2-week window, and while we would love to see you, games are also not required to be played at Atomic Empire.
- It is up to each pair of players to find a time that works for them. This can be coordinated via the Atomic Empire Discord Server in the #star-wars-armada channel, or whatever method is most convenient. If two players are unable to arrange a game, one may concede to the other (if they feel at fault for the scheduling problems). Otherwise, it will be considered a draw.

Prizes:
- Store credit, with amount depending on number of participants. If more than one player is undefeated, they will have the same prize, while other prizes will be determined by standings.
- Custom acrylics from the inimitable Admiral Tater!
