HI. This is the first time I've posted one of these things, so bear with me. We played a 150 point tourney today (we normally, if not exclusively, play 200, so building is tough for us). We had 8 players, which is about our norm. We told everyone to bring competitive squads (not our normal "fun" squads). Expecting lancers/yobuck, I (1st place) ran: Vader, scourge Nina Calixte Storm Commando Jarael Kel Dor X2 Wicket Ug D Lady Hothie (2nd place) ran: KKJBM Wedge MJJ Dodonna Twilek BG UgX3 Troy, a fairly new player to our group, got 3rd place with a squad very similar to LH's KKJBM Wedge MJJ Dodonna GA Scout Ug X2 Matt (4th place, I think) ran: GGDAC Chameleon Droid X2 BDO Gha Nachkt IG-86 BD's Chuck (5th place) ran: Vader IC Veers Hologram Felucian Storm Off Storm Off Scout troopers Melissa (6th place) ran: Mandalore the Ultimate Mando Gunslinger Mando Soldier Mando Captain Mando Scout Dennis (7th place) hadn't been there in a month, so he didn't know we were running 150 competitive, so he ran: Stormie Han Chewie RH Leia HC Lando HoT Bothan Noble Rebel Vanguards Ken, a very new player, ran: GGDAC Destroyer Droid Crab Droid X2 BD's I faced Ken first round. He ran his GGDAC up to the front to fight (after the game I let him know that wasn't such a good strategy). I based him with my 2 Kel Dors. He was toast soon thereafter. I based the DD with Jarael and did some damage to it. My SS really hurt him. Then I faced Melissa with her Mandos. She didn't use the Charging Fire as well as I thought she might. My higher activations and SS were her downfalls. Then I faced Lady Hothie, in a good match on the Train map. We essentially fought in one of the trains the whole time, to use my SS to its full advantage. Vader finally faced a melee attacker (had been building against them), and took Kyle down real quick. No more disruptive, so my SS went to town. MJJ took Vader out, but the rest of my squad was too powerful for her, so I won that one. My last match was against Troy with a very similar army to LH's. That was my closest game. Vader again killed KKJBM quickly, and Mara ended up killing him. It came down to me winning init, Storm Commando attacking MJJ, Nina combining fire, needing a 6, I roll a 9. That was close. If I hadn't combined fire, MJJ assaults and kills them both. Anyway, that's what we did today. Hope you all like it. ![]() |

Cool! Sounds like you guys have a good group, and people who like playing varying factions. If you're not used to building 'tier 1' squads, and you're not used to 150 points either....yeah, it can be really tough to shift gears and come up with things that will work well. Sounds like you nailed it pretty good though. How did your SS shooters deal with the NR Evade? Did you take out Wedge early on? |

No, couldn't get to Wedge. Just took out Kyle with Vader, mostly to take away the Disrupt. Then just plucked away at them. Kel Dors based them, obviously, and I sat back and shot with SC and Nina hoping for failing Evade rolls, which LH usually makes damn near all of them against me. (Seriously, it's like over 85% of the time she makes the 50/50 chance.) I was able to use Wicket quite effectively. Nina helps out with that a ton. |
