As promised, here are some more details about the offerings this year. Please note: We will need volunteers to help run and gather squads for some of these events. Please let me know if you are able to help.

Thursday, September 5

7 p.m./6 p.m. Central: Dark Side/Light Side Team Tournament: Civil War
Description: Players will form two-person teams. Each team must include one "light-side" (OR, Republic, Rebel, NR, all-Fringe) and one "dark-side" (Sith, Separatist, Imperial, Yuuzhan Vong, Mandalorian) squad. There can be no duplicate uniques between the two squads. Please note: Unlike in previous iterations of this event, each light-side player will be paired against the opposing light-side player, and each dark-side player with the opposing dark-side player.

Sounds awesome! Now I just need to find a way to download Vassal (Will it run on a Chromebook?)

It should work. Once you've downloaded Vassal, you can find the latest version of the SWM Vassal mod here: http://www.bloomilk.com/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=28753

In addition to Vassal, it's best if you are using the SWM discord server. If you aren't on the server, let me know when you register and I can get you an invite.

I could use a partner for the team tournament if anyone else is also looking for one.

Also, for ease of access, another permanent invite to the SWM Discord server: https://discord.gg/nDt9t9Mvht

I'm thinking I will try and participate in this event. Can someone please explain how this one works?

So you need to have at least 1 mini from each faction, but then as many from any faction as long as you don't exceed 10 acts? Can you explain the "double-dipping" analogy...............thanks ThumpUp

No. Each faction (all 10) must be represented by exactly one activation. Affinity essentially does not exist in this format...the faction represented by the piece is the faction on the card. Hence, you cannot have Doombot representing the Republic and Mas representing Imperials.Mas only counts as Republic.

We ran this event at Gen Con and it was a bunch of fun.

What about Reserves/Reinforcements? Could I take [Chief of State Mon Mothma] and bring six extra troopers?

Jason can correct me, but I'm going to say 10 acts is a hard limit. No wiggle room.

Is it regular squad building rules or can the 4 activations be from different factions?

Regular faction rules apply.

There was an Ice Cream shop in 1930s Massachusetts called, "The Double Dip."
A create-your-own sundae shop where people could dip their ice cream into multiple syrups.
By the 1950s "double-dipping" became a legal term for illegally benefiting from two sources simultaneously or by two separate accounting methods. The term became widely popularized by the 1990s Seinfeld show when George got caught putting a chip from his mouth back into the dip.
