Our local game store is having a "Pirate Tournament" where you can mix rebels and empire in your list, but you're only allowed one of each ship max. Unique pilots and upgrades aren't allowed. What would be a good way to combine the two factions in these parameters?

I was gonna say howlrunner tala swarm, but I guess that isn't allowed.

1 shadow sq 27

1 dagger 24

1 bounty Hunter 33

1 scimitar sq 16

100 pts, 12 attack die,24 Hps, could out PS some people.

BH will be a very good ship, which is fitting for a pirate tourney. By upgrades did you mean NO upgrades or no unique upgrades?

... what exactly is the point of this. no upgrades either?

if its no unique upgrades, i can understand.

either way, you should probably still take the ps5 phantom. and a b wing.

Backstabber Corran and Echo.

Bombs and Ions, my friend.

I'm still waiting to hear back on that. I assume it's no unique upgrades.

Thanks for the suggestions every one. It's hard to brainstorm when the squad builders won't let you try anything out.

Gold/ion x 2

Shadow/stygium x2

ions set up range 1 shots for the phantoms

No more than one of each ship.

Nothing unique.

Where are you located. I'm running this exact game today. I've checked any possible messages regarding my events and I saw no unanswered questions.

My intent when creating my event was to not have any unique cards on table. And I listed the event as this.

No unique pilots

No unique upgrades

Only one of each ship type

No faction restrictions

I would suggest having two squads ready. 1 squad with no unique pilots and no upgrades. And another squad with no unique pilots with no "unique" upgrades.

Hope this helps. Have fun

I'm near Raleigh, NC. Our tournament is December 13th I think. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be no unique upgrades.

I figure you should to try winning the PS war while getting as many heavy hitters in at the same time. I would suggest:

Sabre Squadron Pilot + PTL 24

Dagger Squadron Pilot + FCS 26

Red Squadron Pilot 23

Tala Squadron Pilot 13

Black Squadron Pilot 14

Solid PS4 list, will shoot before mostly everything that’s not Royal Guard Pilots, all same PS makes manoeuvring much, much easier when dealing with 5 different dials and there's some teeth in the list with 3 ships throwing 3 dice.

Shooting first should allow you to take out an opposing ship before it gets to return fire most of the time so should do well.

Nice list, thank you. That's kind of what i was looking for.

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

B-Wing/E2 (1)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

R3-A2 (2)

Control list with the highest available PS dodgy ship for cleanup.

If upgrades are out entirely, then I'd run something like:

Bounty Hunter - 33

Dagger Squad - 24

Delta Squad - 30

Tala - 13

Chosen almost entirely because they are some of the best non-upgraded ships. BH and B-Wings are probably the most effective naked ships point for point outside of TIEs. I'd love to have a mini-swarm of TIEs to go with them, but you can't have more than one of a ship. Most options feel useless without upgrades - Lambda, HWK, Y-Wing, A-Wing, E-Wing, Phantom, etc.

Looks good but R3-A2 is unique and not allowed.

Bah! Room for an Ion Cannon on the blue then I guess.

From the way it reads, I think it is safe to say that upgrades are fine, just no *unique* upgrades.

I'll be there. Happy hunting!

1. No faction restrictions. Mix Rebel and Imperial ships in the same list.
2. No unique pilots or ship upgrades.
3. Only one of each type of ship is allowed. (Pirates had to take what they could get)

Each player must submit his squad composition, including all associated Upgrade cards and total squad points, to the TO before the start of the tournament. Players must use the same squad for the duration of the tournament, including all Ship and Upgrade cards.

Just an update on my first tournament:

I went with the above list because I liked the idea of having the same pilot skill on everything to avoid pilot errors.

The tournament was 4 rounds with 75 minute timer, 11 people total.

Rd 1) Bye, 150 points

Rd 2) I flew really well for once, destroyed a ship on first turn and from there on out I had great red dice rolls while he had bad green dice rolls. He only destroyed one of my ships, the Saber I think for 24 pts. 176 pts

Rd 3) Faced national champion Rick Sidebotham and was promptly destroyed by his superior flying skills with phantom and something else. Actually learned something though. Wait for attack dice to be modified before rolling defense dice. I think I managed to take out one ship. No idea how many points I got.

Rd 4) Again got out flown by a phantom and beaten pretty bad. This guy went on to second place, after losing to Rick.

I really enjoyed the tournament and learned a lot. Everyone was very nice and patient. My local store, The Gamer's Armory, ran it very well and gave away lots of extra cards from past tournament kits.

nice! i hope to play this format someday =D
