Going to a 60 minute tournament soon and have one question:

In a 60 minute tournament, I have noticed that there are usually 4-5 turns. I plan to use either a Han Shoots First style build or a Firespray + Mini-Swarm build. Possible teams I might encounter include Phantom builds and XXBB.

My question is: In what order should I target and destroy my opponent's ships in?

Should I target the weaker guys (TIE Fighters, Z-95s) hoping to score some quick points before time is called? The downside of this is that my ships could be susceptible to continued attack by bigger targets (Firesprays, Falcons, Phantoms, Defenders, etc.)

Or, should I target the stronger guys (Falcon, Firespray)? This could result in more points if I manage to destroy the ship during the 60 minute round. The downside is that something like this could happen: My opponent could kill one of my X-Wings in the HSF build, I kill nothing (his Firespray remains standing with 1-2 hull left) and I lose.

Thoughts on this? Thanks.

Where I'm at that's all that is played is 60 min rounds and believe me it goes quick! Personally if you run into a falcon or any high hp ship it think i would take the smaller ships out first not so much to score points quickly but because that easy dice you can eliminate from being thrown at you. You could potentially take out an escort per round so by the 3rd round you only have one big ship throwing 3-4 dice at you and guess what? It's the only ship that is left so it's ONLY getting 1 attack per round where as you attacking just that ship with 3-4 other ships. That's what I've found works pretty well when larger ships are mixed in. The phantoms are a diff story tho as I've yet to face one.

Go for the escorts first. Lost my a only game of the tournament by a 3 point margin going against han and 3 z's. The plan was kill han and pick off the z's. Problem was his c3p0 dice were hot. Ended up getting into a good position and 1 shotted 2 of the z95s. Next round I see his z95 completely veer off away from everyone else and his falcon go the opposite direction but closer to me. So I went back to plan A not realizing there was only 5 minutes left. I quickly realize we are almost at time and I gotta kill this z who is on the other **** side of the mat now lol. Took 2 turns to get in range and I only had about 2 turns left (we were playing insanely fast lol. Nothing on my range 3 shots against the z95 and then the last round goes and kyle and garven both shoot at him and garven completely choked and let it get away with only 1 hit left...

Kill the escorts in the 60 minute games. You're tourney isn't in Cincinnati is it?
