Episode 8 Spectre of the Past




Galactic Conflict Podcast show

Summary: Show Notes Episode 8 – Spectre of the Past Welcome back to another episode of Galactic Conflict!  On today’s episode I have 2015 Gencon North American Champion and 2 time US National Champion Quynh Nguyen also known as “Q”.   We are discussing the possibility of his return to the Armada fold due to the corrections in the new FAQ and what he expects to see at worlds.   As well we talk about objectives.  It’s a rambling episode but this close to Worlds I am just trying to get them out the door!  Hope you enjoy!!!!  On a side note I did not have many questions that wasn’t already covered by the Armchair Admirals for Ian Cross the FFG Judge for worlds…but I will include the text below of the question that was asked and answered and mentioned in the podcast.  Mat the Radar Technician SNL skit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaOSCASqLsE Rules discussion about Radus:Me:  One question I did have. Was. Can you measure the radus drop with a base. Before declaring you’re dropping. Either as the dropper or the victim?  I said no. Ian: Like, an extra base?  Yeah, I would definitely call that a "no". Me:  That’s what I thought. Are you committed to dropping somewhere then if you say you are no matter if it means even from a different ship? Ian:  Yeah. I would say that the "commit" is actually saying "I'm doing this" and bringing your ship within the boundary of the play area in order to prep your placement. Before you do that, you are of course free to eyeball it with the range ruler. After (or rather, "as") you are preparing your placement, I would consider it perfectly valid to wiggle your ship around and then go "You know what, we're actually going to use this other ship as a drop point, instead." I would consider it the same as squadron placement. Once you take your hand off the model, you're done. Until that point, so long as you are maintaining a valid placement, you can try to figure out what is best. As long as you stay legal.   Music provided by Free Music Archive Boxcat_Games – Battle_Special Please like and rate us on Itunes Rated PG https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-c5bxu-8a4bfa#.Wo8fsLYs2Po.facebook Any feedback can be directed to galacticconflictpodcast@gmail.com iTUNES and Google Play:  Search for Galactic Conflict Podbean:  https://galacticconflictpodcast.podbean.com/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/Galacticconflictpodcast/ And the FB group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/158458721624588/?source_id=207726109966612
