[GM Event][Complete] Turn 1, 2025 Solaris VII

[Dave Baughman]

22 December 3089 - 2 January 3090
Solaris VII Winter International Open Tournament

In celebration of the holiday season and the coming new decade, the Solaris Games Commission have arranged for a series of team events to be fought between the various national teams. Proceeds will all go to international relief efforts across the Sphere, so the real prize is prestige to the victorious factions.

OOC - Rules

Any faction can participate in the tournament. Battles are between bottom-level units of the same type (skill level and tech level, if applicable, should be determined by mutual agreement of the players). To determine the composition of the units in play, roll on the Isolated Units chart.

Normal map selection rules apply, but players are encouraged to use Solaris Arena maps. Planetary Condition rolls are optional, but encouraged for fights in the Davion Arena (which can simulate these conditions).

To determine victory points from each match, use the "Battle" scoring rules.

Since this is Solaris, warriors will generally concede rather than fight to the death. Forced withdrawal rules (per Total Warfare) are in effect; any unit that qualifies for forced withdrawal will surrender - eject or abandon the unit to remove them from play (the unit is scored as destroyed).

Each faction should keep track of its accumulated victory points, as they are pertinent to determining the winner of the event.

Simple Resolution should not be used for this event, as the purpose is to play out these matches in MegaMek.

No unit improvements apply for these matches.

Rewards
While there is no in-game cash payout (proceeds are being donated to charity), factions can earn build points by reaching certain achievement milestones:

Participate in the Tournament: 1 build point
Win at least one Tournament battle: +1 build point (2 total)
Score in the top three factions: +3 build points* (5 total)
Win the tournament: +5 build points* (10 total)

*If less than 3/5 factions total participate, reduce the award by the difference, to a minimum of +2 each. Example: If only three factions particpate, the prize for scoring in the top 3 is still worth +3 build, but the grand prize is reduced from +5 to +3.


Reporting

All matches should be reported in this thread for the factions involved to receive credit.

[Deft Hunter]

I'm highly interested in participating in this for the Regulan League though I still need to communicate with Generalstoner for unit info! Anyone that is also interested, let me know so we can get the details hammered out!

[GreyJaeger]

The Lyrans are in...Duh!!

Me and WilliamDavion are thinking in fighting some matchs, when ICChan gives him the OK. And them, i will KO him. ;P

[Mekorig]

I hope you do it better than last time, Mekorig... My Sowrd will cut your bullhead like a hot knife cuts trought butter.

Bla  bla Bla, all talk and no accion Fedrat, we will see who is the best in the Arena!

[WilliamDavion]

Pity that we didn't took pictures of our last 3025 tech battle...well. better for you: 4 kills against 0 is not a good result.

[Mekorig]

You got the tipical Fedrat`s luck, nothing more. 

[DisGruntled]

Lots of talk and not enough action.

Eric Malan will celebrate his return to S7 and Galahad stables by challenging any all comers (evenings EST or anytime this Sunday).  Any and all matches will be championing the honor of the one true Free Worlds League: the Marik-Tamarind Commonwealth.

(PM / IM ahead of time to make sure I'm not painting T-26s for a FoW tournament )

[DisGruntled]

And the first match of this grand event is scheduled to begin this fine evening.  The Lyran contingent has agreed to welcome home the old Solaris favorite.  Both sides have agreed to limit tonight's fight to a medium weight class lance.  Tonight's match will include an added twist, the Arena will be randomly chosen just hours before the match starts.  Reserve your tickets now to this inaugural fight or you'll miss out on the hottest action since the Blake Occupation.

OOC: A quick vet medium lance match to knock off the rust.
