Regionals Eindhoven, Niederlande

OK the TO bit:

I´m allowing German cards (quite a few cards i also only own in German), but it would be nice if you have the English rules/text with you. Same thing with the squad lists. I don´t mind the german cards, but i would like to see the English names on the lists. And like i said, we do have a native German in the crew, so language shouldn´t ever be a problem.



The rest is the personal bit.

At the moment there is no date set for the dutch nationals. Last years we had dutch nationals, so i don´t think that will change this year. Only thing i can say about it, that it has to be held after the last regionals, and that is the Eindhoven one.

About the amount of regionals. I kinda suspect the distributor of asking the stores who wanted to have one, and then ask ffg that amount. When we heard in Eindhoven that there would be six we were also suprised, because we also thought it was to many (talk about first world problems). We even have 2 regionals in the same city!!! I think 4 would have been a fine number, 2 in the west (amsterdam, the hague, utrecht rotterdam region) , 1 in the north east and 1 for the south east). Regionals should be a special thing, that is why we made it a 2 day event, so we can have a decent time for everything and not rush it. But i guess, it is what it is.

About the Dutch scene. I would really like to be able to tell you more about it, but i live in the south of the netherland, in kinda black hole when it comes to x-wing. And driving 50km north of south each week or 2 is a bit much for me. What i can give you is the report of the regional of The Hague.

The person who wrote it, does really give his personal opinions about the lists, so take it for what it is. Never having of the Panic attack style lists, doesn´t help for me. But then again, i´m a big fanboy of control builds.

As for the token tourists: why get another german piece of plastic / cardboard, if you can get it in a different language?  

What about Dutch Commanders?
We have cookies........äh ....Tokens, too!

Do you have a dutch fan forum where we can submit invitations?

Okay, decision made.
I´m in.
Let´s see how well I do in the Netherlands.

IMPORTANT

Regionals Eindhoven will be a ONE DAY event on Saturday 25th. Due to the current number of entries (10+ players) It is not viable to maintain this as a two day event. For that day the following schedule will be used:

Saturday
Doors open: 10:00
Registration: 10:05
Pairings: 10:25
Round 1: 10:30 – 11:45
Round 2: 11:55 – 13:10
Lunchbreak : 20 Minutes
Round 3: 13:30 – 14:45
Round 4: 14:55 – 16:10
top 4: 16:20 – 17:35
(round 5 will be there for the remaining players for the places 5 and lower)
Final Table: 17:40 – 18:55 (unlimited time, but time given as indication)
Awards, prizes and stuff: +/ – 19:00 -19:15

Quick Faq, because the following questions will probably pop up anyway.

– Why this change so late? ( less then a week before the tournament)
* In short: we had to wait untill the pre-sales ended, because usually people tend to wait to the last moment with those things. After that, we (as organisation) had to agree on the best course of action given the situation. (think logistics, what day of the 2 to have the event and so on)

– But i've made arrangements to be in Eindhoven for the whole weekend, now what?
* If you are unable to alter or cancel the made arrangements, please contact me by pm here or by email (s dot frencken at live dot nl). Perhaps we can work something out to make the Sunday a fun day, even though the gameforce will be closed then. Possible options are things like imperial assault or even a star wars rpg session.

We really don't like doing this change, but from the start we set out to give you a good experience. At this moment we feel this is the best way, to give you that.


If you want to sign up, but haven´t already you can post that here in this tread.

Oh, wow! Totally missed this on the first round.

Eindhoven is not too far away. So, I am absolutely interested in attending!

Ah, okay.
Thank you for the informations.
As I live only an hour drive away from Eindhoven there were no plans to stay overnight.
So everything is cool!

See you Saturday...

Als Jemand der selber auf 2 holländischen Regionals mitgespielt hat kann ich nur sagen: Leute fahrt hin! Ist ne super entspannte Community drüben! Und es gibt gewiss leckere Frikandeln!

Darth Bane schrieb:To be honest, it's not about the country ... it's more about the distributor. When the dutch distributor ordered 6 regional kits then they can do their 6 regionals. In the USA nearly every single states has 2+ (some of them even 8 or so). The Regionals are very important as a middle part of the organized play pyramide.

This is definitly wrong!

We are struggling every year for the 5 german regionals and the two additionals for switzerland and austria. So 6 dutch regionals are a big surprise for us.

Ich hab die folgende Diskussion um die Anzahl der Regionals mal abgekoppelt.
Bleiben wir hier konkret bei dem holländischen Turnier.

Danke Udo - super Sache!

Hi Skasnik,

you have a Message

Ok, i will come to Eindhoven too

At least four players will be there from germany!

- DerSeb86
- backfire84
- Overburn
- Rebels

Wir sind zurück!

Es hatten sich dann doch noch knapp über 20 Spieler eingefunden, darunter eine PKW-Ladung aus Deutschland.

Rebels und ich sind mit 3:2 auf den Plätzen 7. und 8. gelandet. Overburn mit 2:3 in den TOP 16. Für Backfire hat es leider glaube ich nur zu einem Sieg gereicht.

Allgemein überwiegt auch in Holland die Deci-Soontir-Kombination, wobei hier die Tarnvorrichtung deutlich beliebter zu sein scheint. Sehr häufig standen auch Kombinationen aus Deci und Slave 1 auf den Matten.

Meine Niederlagen kassierte ich gegen die bekannten 3 Elite-Interceptoren und einen gemischten 5er Rebellenschwarm (BBYAZ). Gewinnen konnte ich in einem sehr knappen Match gegen Overburn (Chiraneau und Kopfgeldjäger), Chiraneau (Gunner und Vader) und Fel, sowie Han in Begleitung von Jake Farrell im A-Wing.

Ansonsten war es wieder ein schöner Turniertag in entspannter Umgebung mit netten Gegner und ein schöner Abschluss meiner Regionalsaison!

2 Siege waren es dann doch soviel Zeit muss sein.

Tschuldigung! Dann Glückwunsch zu 2 Siegen!

Super Männer!

Gewonnen hat dann vermutlich auch 'ne Chirpy/Fel Liste?

Nice to hear you enjoyed yourself. As for the results.

Top4

4 bwings
1 z95


Kath scarlet with mangler, veteran instincts and tactician
Oicunn with ruthlessness, darth vader, gunner and anti-purauit laser

Boba fet wih inertial dampeners
Ig-88 D with veteran instincts and advanced senors
Sybicate thug with autoblaster turret


Winner
Han solo wih predator, c-3po, r2d2, falcon title and engine
3x tala

Wir sind nach den Swiss-Spielen gefahren, von daher kann ich das leider nicht sagen. Ich weiss ehrlich gesagt grad nichtmal was alles für Listen im Cut waren. Bin mir relativ sicher, dass es einmal eine klassische Han-Weltmeister-Liste war und einmal eine Deci-Boba Kombination. Glaube auf dem 5. Platz ist ein IG mit Z-95 Minischwarm gelandet.

Edit: Thanks for the results Skasnik! It was a great X-Wing day!
