@prastle I was wondering, is there any date set for the start of the tournament?

I definitely don't want to miss the beginning.

[prastle]

@Greg-Anderson we need hopefully 32 players or more first. Also we would like to try and use the next 2.0 release if possible.

Who is discussing the rule set for the ToC15 tournament?

1. Can I participate in the rule discussion?
2. My recommendation is the following. Change the Victory Conditions from 9 to 8 in the early stages of this tournament.
   a) Games will finish faster (supporting @Deltium concern that ToC14 took too long)
   b) Less games will need to be adjudicated

[prastle]

@Barca It has been a hectic weekend with many discussions. I will be adding some rule changes next week. Need a break for a day sorry Your input is always welcome

@prastle With the release of 2.0 coming we will not be adding an engine change for the tocs. Simply stated which I am sure @panther can elaborate here. Allied fighters will be considered cargo on another allies Carrier. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO ATTACK! When for example a placement has allowed a magical fleet to suddenly appear. They can remain as cargo. Of course the allied fleet in question will have to do something on their turn. Sadly the engine does not allow this and forces them to attack. Thus a player can move them in combat anywhere and return them in non combat to land on the same ac. EVEN though this is against the rulebook about having to have combat etc. Yes they can be edited off and returned but it would be better if people just use common sense and avoid having to use the editor and the questions that might arise.... Further news coming.

the engine does handle this properly under certain circumstances, but yeah put simply cargo is cargo.
