http://teamcovenant....-covenant-aces/

I’ve been involved off and on in the Xwing community since late 2012. One of the first places I started playing was online on VASSAL. I’ve met a lot of really cool people and played a lot of great games with them. I’ve been running leagues of different games for years including the Lambda City Xwing league in Kansas City. I’ve wanted to run a VASSAL league for some time to show off the talent that platform has to offer while getting to see the games that I want to see played. Who doesn’t want to see Theorist v Pheaver II? I know I do! So I started poking around and asking people If they wanted to do something like a league. I got a very positive response. I also got in touch with some cool people who might want to broadcast or give out some prize support. I wanted to make it fun.

The Schedule

http://challonge.com/TCA

The Aces

Dom Cairo- Dom

Lyle Hayhurst- Sozin

Michael Juneau – Mu0n

Tyler Tippett – Starslignger72

Scott Williams- MrFroggies

Jeff Jones- Theorist

Aaron Bonar- KineticOperator

Morgan Reid- Morgan

Paul Heaver- Pheaver

Dallas Parker – Texx

Richard White – Kelvan

Anthony Rossi- Sideslip

The Format

This will be a weekly round robin of every player. The Aces will submit a link of a 100pt list each week to me and I will post them online so you know what lists are facing each other. I’ll post game times on the teamcovenant.com page. There will be a top 4 single elmination tournament at the end of the season to determine our winner.

I’ve been talking with Zach Bunn from Team Covenant to get some really cool prize support. Since some of Aces already have about everything FFG has to offer we want the top 4 to have something unique to only the Aces League.

Games will be untimed (I’d love to do timed but it’s just too difficult online). The Outer Rim Smugglers will be doing a video each week on the Aces as well and Monday Night Xwing will do live commentary on games from time to time!

What’s Legal?

If it’s released on VASSAL its legal. This means we will see wave 6 ships. Make sure to keep up to date on the newest releases. I’ll be sure to remind everyone when Mu0n comes out with something.

We Will be Opening The Aces For Invites At The End Of The Season.

The bottom 2 players will play a group of players looking to get into the league. Details for this phase in the season will be announced later.

We Will Start Season 1 on 1/6/14.

Players will be giving me their squads before this date and squad matches will be posted then. I will be posting a weekly write up analyzing each match and predicting who I think will win. You can track the progress of the league on the Challonge site.

Hopefully this helps stir the Metagame and shows off some cool lists in the process.

Good Hunting! I’ll be back for week 1.

WEEK 1:

http://challonge.com/TCA

We kick off week 1 off the Team Covenant Aces Xwing League. Once again this league will go for 11 weeks with 2 rounds of playoffs at the end to determine the winner. I was lucky enough to have met a ton of cool people who play xwing online and that they were all gracious enough to say yes to this cool league makes me very happy. There are a great deal of very interesting matches and I can't wait to watch all of them. Players scheduling their games throughout the week and I'd ask that they post them here so we have the opportunity to watch. I will also be displaying the gamelogs of each game each week so please send them to me! Lets get down to it!

Kelvan

v Pheaver

http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!99:57,-1,46,21,102,-1:-1:3:;56:36,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:;10::-1:-1

I couldn't pin Paul on a squad and I just decided to go Old School with an 8 tie swarm. Paul is continuing his Shuttle + Decimator theme he was trying in the TCO. He brings a lot of very good counters to Tie Fighters in his list. Admiral Chripy crits plus Doomshuttle will make it very difficult for ties to live. I did happen to bring 8 of them so it could be worse but I will need to concentrate fire on Chirpy to even have a chance. Too bad Chirpy brought an engine upgrade to prvent me from doing just that

Prediction: Pheaver

Mu0n

http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:15:M.1;56:36,-1,45,-1:-1:-1:;79:27,36,-1:-1:9

Everytime I see Mu0n play Imperial I'm a little sad. Texx's inititative bid pays off here. His Soontir will get to move after Whisper and the Dopple Soontir. That benefit will have to go a long way as Whisper can run circles around Carnor and Turr. Additionally every Doomshuttle shot will be brutal to Texx. How well Mu0n can use that shuttle and Whisper will go a long way to determining the game.

Prediction: Texx but I'm not all that confident

StarSlinger72

v Dom

http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/170708/stresshog

Starslinger brings a classic style Soontir Mini swarm vs an interesting control list from Dom. Oddly enough if Dom had a peek at StarSlinger's list I think he might not take BTL-A4. This game has a pretty simple question. Can Dom get Soontir in arc to kill him? If he gets an early Soontir kill he can beat the tie fighters. If not it's going to be a quick game. Dom has a few tricks to do it, but Soontir ruins dreams.

Prediction: StarSlinger72

KineticOperator

My first initial glance at this was essentially Echo>All. Echo has the ability to be where ever she wants and Soontir can essentially do the same. That being said, Theorist is bringing a lot of stress in a lot of arcs. If he catches Echo or Soontir with Tactician I think he can kill the stressed ship. Its closer than it looks and Theorist has been known to pull rabbits out of hats. I'm just not sure he can pull 2 rabbits.

Prediction: KineticOperator

SideSlip

v Sozin

http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/display_list?tourney_list_id=117

I'd like to start out by saying that I almost ran SideSlip's list. Part of me really wishes I had. Warthogs are awesome. 4 Warthogs is more awesome. He runs into a great match up of easy to hit targets. That's the good news. The bad news is he will never ever shoot first. FCS B Wings bring pain and can make quick work of Y wings. How well SideSlip uses Ion Weaponry will probably determine this.

Prediction: SideSlip but I'm not all that confident

MrFroggies represents the Scum and Villainy Podcast well by flying SableGryffon's Victory is Mined list. (I like to call it explosive diarrhea but I'm a cretin.) The list is surprisingly capable when flown well, especially vs lists that arc dodge well. Set up good mines and deal damage without shooting at all. That being said Oicunn is custom build to essentially pwn this bombers even if he's easy to hit with a mine. This will come down to a good game with the shuttle and how well Soontir avoids the explosive droppings of Froggies' bombers.

Prediction: Morgan

I just predicted and 0-3 for the Scum and Villainy Podcast. Now I'm depressed. Who do you think will win? What do you think of the lists? Post below!

Week 1 was a rousing success! You guys all played great and produced awesome games! Morgan and StarSlinger72 top our rankings on MOV but there is a long time in between now and the finals. I expect plenty of upsets and upheavals. I will have logs posted in my main post to team covenant but I wanted to get these out to you now. Additionally Sozin and I just did a podcast on the matchups. Morgan volunteered for week 3.

Let's get to the matches.

That's it. As always let me know if you're having any issues at all scheduling. I'm here to help however I can. Just keep me in the loop.

Theorist triple downs on Agressorrs I keep thinking that they'll win. I hope I'm wrong again. The proglem is now the Agressors will be able to arc dodge and outmaneuver slower lower PS ships. I NEED the Warthogs to be as good as advertised to have any shot but I can't see it happening. This is the fight that Theorist's list wants to see. I just happened to bring it to him.

Prediction: Theorist

Sozin http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/181540/black-sun-88-b

v Dom http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/177508/tarnation

So Sozin trumps Dom in PS but has 1 less ship. Dom has some blocking options and Sozin has ultra damage IG 88. In the end I think Sozin counters Dom pretty hard here. The IG is easily worth the extra ship and the PS bid means all the Black Sun Soldiers simulfire with Tarn.

Prediction: Sozin

Morgan http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:15:M.1;16::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1

Morgan flies the same list as the week before and Texx makes a slight adjustment to his list from last week. Veteran Instincts will be absolutely crucial here. The ability to arc dodge Soontir will be key. That being said a swarm CAN erase Chirpy in 3 rounds of good shooting. If its soontir and a few ties I think it's possible for a win. I just don't think it will be likely.

Prediction: Texx

MrFroggies http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!37:98,110,-1,61,-1:-1:-1:;18:-1:-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1

Paul says if it aint broke don't fix it and brings his crazy Kavil list. I love Kavil and this is a Yreckingball if it gets to range 1. Froggies likes what he saw from the week before and decides to essentially fly his own version. I think this game will come down to some Kavil play. Kath Scarlett will be good with her set up and the Ties play very well vs Z-95s but Kavil can wreck this whole plan. The only problem is he's AGI 1 and may die in 1 round of lucky fire.

Prediction: MrFroggies but I'm not very confident

Sideslip http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:1:M.15;96:-1,-1,45,-1,-1:-1:-1:;20:-1:23:-1:U.107

Mu0n tortures me by playing imperial again. I can't blame him though, they currently have all the good toys. His list has a brutish feel to it. It punches in the face and throws you around. I especially like the amount of tokens it throws on the sigmas. This list does not like to see Soontir or Darth Vader crew however. I imagine the Patrol leader will be an early target. With so little hitpoints and a Vader crew and soontir counter. I've been wrong a lot recently though

Kinetic Operator http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!68:22,-1:-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:;18:-1:-1:-1:;10::-1:-1:

A tie defender mini swarm vs Starslinger's classic list. I love the Ion defender. I think it has a chance vs Vessory and to a lesser extent Soontir Early. I just think all of the ties do not like the Vader card. Soontir could possible win this alone and you could say the same about Vessery. Will KO shock me again?

Prediction: Starslinger72

Good Hunting!

We are finally to week 5 and we still have 2 undefeateds. That may be because of scheduling issues, Morgan is actually playing from the future and Texx does not have a time travel machine but still two undefeateds. Paul Heaver is making a climb and Dom and KineticOperator are in the wings and are ready to pounce. The Scum and Villainy Podcast isn't doing so hot but I feel a run coming in one of us (please?).

Soontir. This has to be a joke on me. Has to. 100% .Sozin knows. He knows. Well. I love A wings like my second child to the Lambda Shuttle. I may as well ride them to the sunset. The tempests actually don't play great vs A's even with corrector. If I get a few rockets in and some good blocks I feel alright. I don't think I have enough to power it all the way vs Soontir though. I will need rockets and a block to win.

This is a strange paper rock scissor in a game. Autothruster vs predator vs 0 agi vs vader vs whisper etc.

Whisper avoiding gunner vader while successfully killing Oicunn while evil Alphas engage Evil Oicunn... There is a lot going on. I like the Alpha play in this game though. The don't give a **** about Rebel Captin and can get a lot of pain on the opposite Oicunn

Prediction: Theorist but i'm not all the confident

Dom http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/184860/decivader

Dom has a lot of tools to bring to the table in this one. He's got his favorite shuttles, a capable Oicunn, and Soontir. Froggs just has a lot of dirt and muck to throw into the engine of Dom's list. Frogs needs to get Soontir down and win. I think he has the tools. Froggies is a very skilled rebel player and I think he has this.

Prediction: MrFroggies

Texx http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!22:-1,-1:23:-1:U.124;28:18:-1:15:;79:27,-1,-1:-1:9

REMATCH REMATCH REMATCH REMATCH!!!! This is a great stress test for Scum. I can't wait to watch it. Texx brings 3 of the best Imperial ships to bear vs an anti PS multiple arc Scum list. Kath is a huge gun and presents a good target in case Texx ignores Torkil. In the end I think Texx wins this but if there are some handy Torkil/Hotshot kills I'll be very impressed

Prediction: Texx

Pheaver http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v3!s!117:18,-1,-1,122,-1,-1:-1:3:;114:-1,-1:-1:-1:;114:-1,-1:-1:-1:;114:-1,-1:-1:-1:;114:-1,-1:-1:-1

I just want Paul and Aaron to build us lists that are fun forever. Paul has been exploring Scum and Aaron has just decided that crazy also can mean crazy like a fox. Kath is obviously the Death Star of this build. The longer she lives and has shots the better. Paul has built her to be chased and have focus, target lock, and evade every turn. Aaron has built a synergistic Xwing build built around some double stress shenanigans and keeping biggs alive just long enough for Jek and Luke to make it to an end game. If Jek and Luke can make it to Kath or Kath is already dead I think they can win.

Prediction: KineticOperator but I'm not that confident (WANT TO WATCH!!!)

The player I think is one of the best Rebel players in the world finally plays Rebel again. He chose a great time as well. If Muon can burn Oicunn fast enough for Dash to live with decent HP Dash can and will win. Especially if he can pull off a Rocket. Tyler has slowly become a swarm player and learned how to punish those who ignore his swarm and can make Mu0n pay for ignoring Howlrunner. This will be an excellent match and I'm excited to see Dash again.

Prediction: Mu0n but I'm not that confident.

Well that's it for week 5 of the Aces League. What do you think so far of the Wave 6 Meta? Can Scum compete with the Turret/Phantom Meta? What ship or squad are you surprised hasn't been run? Who do you think is in for a jump in the standings?andings?

Standings - http://challonge.com/TCA/standings

Week 6! The halfway point! I for one am very happy with how the league has gone so far. I'm having a lot of fun and I'm losing so that must tell you something. I love the lists I'm seeing and I think it's great to see so many people I like watching play xwing against each other. I have no idea who is going to be our champion at the halfway point. I'll do my best to make a run at the top 4!

v Sozin http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/188849/spanish-nationals

Sozin is mentally bonded with Spanish Nationals. This is a toolbox list, designed to be able to handle a lot of different match ups. Here it has a PS bid vs Froggie's list. The Ion cannon also plays very well vs Arc Dodgers and Cracken's out of turn barrel roll for the B wings all help to get things in arc. It's worst match up is probably swarm. I think a list like Frogg's is probably his second worst. Frogg's list packs enough punch that it can kill the heart of this list, Roark, fast enough to be able to survive. If Froggs can have 2 ships vs Cracken and the blues he's got a very good chance. Vader is likely going to die first, he misses a lot not taking engine. He is the tankiest though. If he has hot greens this is also likely over.

Prediction: Froggies (yes I'm disrespecting Spanish Nationals again!)

Well Theorist knows Agressors well. That will be useful. This is a great opportunity for Autothrusters as well. The Fringer will be doing very little damage whilst out of primary arc. To be honest I don't have much of a clue on this one. Theorist has an overall firepower advantage and a maneuverability advantage but Sideslip is just tanky as all get out and Mango cannons can potentially put some real hurt down late. I dunno, flip a coin?

Prediction: Heads (Theorist) but I'm not confident

KineticOperator http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/186518/do-not-fail-me-admiral

v Dom http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/177505/double-shuttle-swarm

Oh Dom, you are unquestionably an honorary member of Lambda City. I cannot like this list more. It has my favorite things, Ties and Ghostly Void Manatees. Dom is Johnny on the Spot with his shuttle play and will be getting all kinds of crazy perma arcs with his shuttles. Kinetic's list is just straight powerful damage. I don't expect Howlrunner to be long for this world. I am not sure if Aaron and Dom have played yet. But they're both very well known for outside the box style play. I'm very excited to see this game. In the end I think Aaron is looking to keep Vader alive as long as possible and let him win the game for him. I think Dom is trying to force the opposite. I truly believe the shuttles can 2v1 RAC to death, so keeping a Vader finish off a Lambda endgame will be very important challenge for KineticOperator.

Prediction: Dom but I'm not confident

StarSlinger72 http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:15:M.1;99:27,-1,102,21,46,-1:-1:3

Texx admitted that he was expecting a Soontir Miniswarm. I'll bet StarSlinger is wishing he chose that instead. That being said I think Soontir may be the Trump card in the whole thing. I wouldn't be shocked if he took a decimator all by himself. Autothruster + Stealth + soontir is very very tanky. I also like the Kit on StarSlinger's Chiraneau better even considering that Gunner will likely be never used (Of course now it will be used 2+ times on range 3 through an asteroid shots). I feel like he has an excellent chance to win providing he can avoid the raging bull of Oicunn with Soontir.

Prediction: Starslinger and Texx's first loss.

v Pheaver http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/188848/back-to-basics

Mu0n chooses to throw a left field list at Paul who has been one of the unexpected left field players this season. I'd like to take a second and admire the Jake Farrell he is running. That thing looks like it would be like riding a unicorn, way too much fun. Mu0n brings a crazy sauce Dutch Vander. I'm excited to see how R7-T1 plays out. I'd especially like to see if he can make that Proton Bomb work. Mu0n has a tool set to kill Jake with Proton Bomb, Ion Cannon, and a lot of firing arcs. But I can't predict it as Paul has a decent and probably better tool set for killing Y wings.

Prediction: Pheaver

Morgan http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v3!s!44:-1,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:;44:-1,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:;44:-1,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:;44:-1,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:;64:-1:-1:-1:

So initially Morgan was going to play tank Han with 2 greens. It's the never die list and I've run it before. Due to unfortunate circumstances I saw his list before I submitted and we re slected. I'm not sure if he's happy with the resulting match or not. I think Vader or Soontir can win the game for me. I just need to avoid firing arcs and block well. I don't think ATC is going to have as much of an affect as usual as most crits will be applying to shields but predator will be having a field day. Morgan will be looking to catch an anchor ship out of position and just rip it up forcing a 5v3 scenario. I will need a no mistake game.

Prediction: Kelvan

Week 7 brings us unjoyful news as Mr.Froggies had to drop from the league due to time constraints. We added BlairBunke to replace him. I have full faith that Blair will do a great job! (hopefully starting next week)

v BlairBunke http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/192019

Well Blair comes in and brings a giant middle finger to my list with that Ion cannon. That ship has got to go. I like his list over all, it's beefy, it's got decent maneuverability, and decent firepower. a range 3 turret Ion cannon can wreak havoc to the field as well. I haven't gotten my game w/ Morgan in yet so I wanted to keep my list. I think if my green dice keep that Ion cannon cold I can win this. But he can probably melt me if I get out of position.

Prediction: Kelvan

Morgan http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v3!s!95:18,23,-1,32:14:3:;75:18,36,-1,3:-1:-1

Well this is awkward. Mirror Match! There isn't a ton to be said for this match other than I think initiative and higher PS will likely carry the day.

Prediction: SideSlip

Sozin http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:15:M.1;55:36,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:;79:27,-1,-1:-1:9
v KineticOperator http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/192237/super-robot-awesome-squad

So I think we're learning more and more about the Agressor. It does very well against lower PS but struggles vs Higher mobility high PS. (That sounds like a broken record for this game in general). Sozin is bringing 2 mobile High PS ships. I will believe the Agressor can beat the matchup only when I see it. (Aaron pointed out to me though he always wins when I pick him to lose, sorry Sozin.)

Prediction: Sozin

Theorist http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/192239/teen-girl-squad
v Starslinger72 http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/192048/triple-threat

This is an interesting take on the falcon + escort vs Phantom. R3A2 and the 360 degree cannon have the potential to catch whisper and lock her down. I'm not sure Theorist has the right amount of red dice to beat the sigmas and I don't think the Wild Space Fringer will live long enough to carry against the Sigmas.

For Those of you who don't get the reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=539zCn8ySbc

Prediction: Starslinger 72

Dom http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/177505/double-shuttle-swarm

This is the match I'm most looking forward to. We have a beefy low PS swarm brought by dom but for the most part will fly mildly predictable with Howlrunner. Mu0n brings a mobile list with nice agi and lots of firepower. To me this game will come down to how well Mu0n can manage his hp and keep both Aggressors alive. If he can preven good shots for the swarm he'll win.

Prediction: Mu0n but i'm not that confident

Texx http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:-1:15:;22:-1,-1:23:-1:U.124;79:27,-1,-1:-1:9

So these guys have played before... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQvcrdDZ2Oo. Texx brings his Nein, Nein, Nein list vs Pauls US champions list redux. Who has the advantage? Texx has initiative, does he give it for the superior boost/barrel roll/decloak or does he take it so his Whisper will be cloaked when he fires. How big of an advantage is the Gunner on Paul's Whisper? How many shots will that Doomshuttle have? In the end I see Texx give up initiative for the better positioning. From there it's a matter of how well Paul can use that Doomshuttle vs Texx's positioning.

Prediction: Texx finally gets his win but I'm not that confident

Good Hunting!

Week 8 Matches:

Due to the full release of Scum by Mu0n we now have every Scum ship available and Scyks make their first appearance in the league. I’m excited to see how they do. It seems the aces so far prefer cannon Scyks.

Sideslip http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v3!s!116:18,-1,-1,38,-1,-1:-1:3:;123:0,-1,-1,121:-1:-1:;123:0,-1,-1,121:-1:-1
v Kelvan http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/63915/slap-fight

SLAP FIGHT! I go back to an old reliable and SideSlip brings an excellent and powerful 3 ship list. The A wings love to see AGI 1 and I expect them to do well vs the Y wings. On the flip side those Warthogs can put a severe hurt on my ORS. Additionally Boba Fett has a prime position to do work and will have plenty of enemies to get into range 1 of. He likely is the straw that stirs the drink of this match although Slap Fight has enough defense to go a long way if the green dice favor me.

Prediction: SideSlip

KineticOperator http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/196001/scummy-turrets
v BlairBunke http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/196354/darths-junior-pilot-camp

Kinetic brings a fun list with three of the Scum faction’s MVPs against a new and improved Darth Vader miniswarm. Kinetic surely wants to eliminate vader as quickly as possible and will have the opportunity firing 2 4 dice shots at whoever he feels like. Vader is built very strongly though and can throw a lot of damage around with Prockets and ATC. Additionally despite not having the offense of 4 attack dice Blair has twice as many ships as Kinetic and he will be dealing with only 1 engine ship. I don’t think the odds favor Kinetic.

Prediction: BlairBunke

StarSlinger72 http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!28:18:5:15:M.1;71:98,-1,-1:-1:6:;56:36,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1

StarSlinger brings a list that is very similar to his regular archetype of Squint, Defender, Hippo vs a Vader/Decimator combo. I find it interesting that Morgan chose Prockets over Predator or lone Wolf. I’m not sure I agree with that decision. Considering your primary attack is getting a boost via ATC secondary weapons are a little less necessary. Initiative will go a long way to determining our winner here. If Tyler wins and defers initiative his Soontir will only truly fear Chiraneau. If Morgan wins and defers He can use both Vader and Chiraneau to threaten Soontir. Make no mistake this is Soontir’s game to win or lose. The combination of Soontir’s ability, Stealth device, and autothrusters make Soontir incredibly difficult to kill. He can win the fight on his own if he can avoid Vader.

Prediction: Whoever wins initiative (Morgan)

Mu0n http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v3!s!95:18,23,-1,74:14:3:;48:27,37,38:3:3
v Sozin http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/196088/tansarii-feedback

Mu0n calls his list the Rebel Death Star and I don’t disagree. 5 attack dice is brutal. He has a mobile and vicious attack that synergizes well. Additionally we all are aware that Dash can win a game all by himself. I think Sozin has an interesting counter option with feedback array, certainly at least for Jan. I like his list a great deal, especially vs phantoms and soontirs. However I don’t think this is a good counter for Mu0n’s list. He has to get enough ships at range 1 to kill either of Mu0n’s ships and I think the Tansarii can be arc dodged.

Prediction: Mu0n

Pheaver http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v3!s!107::17:-1:U.110;107::17:-1:U.110;107::17:-1:U.110;101:18,-1:16:15:U.43,U.108
v Theorist http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/196351/upside-down-9s

Paul brings just a ton of firepower to the table with his Mango cannons and those ties do not want to see those crits hit their precious hull. He also outnumbers his opponent and has a ton of tricks with Guri and damners can help a great deal in keeping good arcs on the table. Theorist however has the PS advantage with ships that are particularly well suited at arc dodging a jousting style squad. How well Paul gets shots and how good those crits are will determine the game. I’m not sure the entire list could be Theorist’s Echo though.

Prediction: Theorist

Texx http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!76:-1,-1:-1:8:;76:-1,-1:-1:8:;76:-1,40:-1:8:;18:-1:-1:-1
v Dom http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/196221/torkil-feedback

Dom gives us our first indication of what a scum swarm will look like with a 6 ships Torkil swarm. Torkil will make the main target PS 0 and the swarm kills it before it fires. This is more likely with feedback array as well. Feedback array is also nice because in quantity it can create a no fly zone of damage. He faces a damage powerhouse of 3 Sigmas and Howlrunner that our PS’s and out damages the swarm. Torkil may die before he gets range 2. I think this game comes down to feeback array. Dom has the ability to just win on hitpoints if he can nail his arrays. That’s easier said than done vs decloak though.

Prediction: Texx

That’s it! Good Hunting!

Standings: http://challonge.com/TCA/standings

It is week 10 and there are only 2 weeks of the regular season left. Texx, Morgan, KineticOperator, and SideSlip are very very close to fully locking up the playoff spots with only Kinetic and SideSlip needing one more win. The bottom is more interesting. To avoid being relegated it looks like you will need around 4 wins or more. Can I go 2-0!?!

v KineticOperator http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/205808/mccook-run

Kinetic goes through a lot of trouble to make Leechos work and Mu0n decided he wanted an old school feel to his list. I think it's very interesting the Serrissu/Leechos synergy that KO is rocking. I'm not sure how that will all play out with Wes Jansen removing tokens with his shots. I'm not entirely sure on my target priority vs Mu0n, Wes or Wedge. Wes is more annoying but Wedge is Wedge. In the end this looks like a Joust and last Time I checked 11>9.

I love seeing Emon played. He seems likes a barrel full of monkeys. Being able to long distance prox mine someone is just too cool. Oddly enough he might be the most dangerous part of his list vs my high PS arc dodger destroyer. If he can get 2 prox mines on Echo this game might be over. For me, If I can avoid mines I think I can win with Echo alone. (So of course now I won't)

Prediction: Kelvan

Paul finally wades into the double aggressor game. He chose a unbalanced list with autothrusters on B, making the good assumption that B is the primary target in most games. He faces a Sideslip list with Corran and two warthog support Y wings. This is Corran's game to lose but those Aggressors will be hitting very very hard. As usual however quickly SideSlip gets to killing 1 Aggressor will determine the win. Is Corran still alive? Then I think SideSlip wins. If Corran is dead, Paul gets it.

Prediction: Pheaver

v BlairBunke http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/201635/ace-filler-part-2

Texx is on a tear through this league, but this will be one of his hardest matches to date. He faces just as much bulk with some higher PS. He has some interesting Counters in the stress ships he brings. Every ship on Texx's squad has something to bring out stress. It will be interesting to see how it plays. Soontir does not like stress and it will be interesting to see how carefully he flies.

Prediction: BlairBunke but I'm not that confident

This will be fun! Its like Sharks and Jets. Darth and the Temptests do not like to see superior Arc Dodging. But the Rear Admiral wants nothing to do with them crits and rockets.

v Sozin http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/207930/coran-and-leebo

Scum and Villainy Podcast pride fight! Winner gets smack talked on air! Theorist brings a high AGI Biggs who will often be rolling 4+ Green dice vs two very capable ships in Corran and Leebo. I think the gunners on the Fringers will get a good workout. In the end Theorist is at a 25-15 hp advantage and his firepower is in the end just a little bit better. This will need to be one of those Corran goes HAM games for Sozin to win.

Prediction: Theorist

Sorry for the delay. I have been working to figure out the Relegation rules and who we could drum up to participate in that. I have finalized that.

This is a strange sort of Mirror Match. 2 Pancake and Ace lists. I very much enjoy Dash and his HLC will hit very hard. Additionally Corran can just chew up Decimators. Vader and Chiraneau have the PS/Arc dodge bid. I Think Rebel Captive will be an important card in limiting SideSlip. That and PS probably carries the day.

Prediction: Texx

Morgan http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!97:57,-1,21,102,46,-1:15:3:;22:57,-1:23:3:U.124

v KineticOperator http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/148366/ig-2000

Morgan and Kinetic were the polar opposite list submitters. Morgan sent in like 7 lists and kept changing and Kinetic just decided that Robots were the way to go.

I don't think the game vs IG-88 has changed much. So long as there are 2 of them they stand a good chance of winning. But vs an Arc dodging list they aren't as great 1v1. Morgan thought long and hard about bringing Chiraneau and think for this match that would have been the better decision. That being said Oicunn can always run over the robots for some extra damage. All he needs is Soontir vs a ship and he has a decent chance of winning. If Oicunn gets critted to death too quickly though, I think Soontir will just not have the defenses.

Prediction: Morgan but I'm not that confident

v Sable Gryphon http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/231558/sable-squad

ALL THE BOMBS!!! Hothie brings so far my favorite IG list. I love that it's asymmetrical as well. Is B the target as usual or is it D? I'm not sure. The downside is he's running into a list that happens to position later and fire earlier in Sable's list. Sable's been flying this well and I'm starting to see why. I will say it feels weird to see Andrasta on Boba Fett, but I'm sure he stole a few ships in his day. In the end this has to come down to the engine upgrade Boba out shooting and out dodging IG-88.

This is interesting 26 hp vs 23 With all the defense. Han Solo is going to be a tough nut to crack. I expect Gary will throw everything he has at it. That being said Mangler Cannon isn't an awful card if he can punch crits through on Han. This is a match I that comes down to how long Dash and Han live and I just so happen to think Han lives longer.

Prediction: Matt Shadowlord

Good Hunting!

ok I Just posted week 1. It's a doozy. A TON of Soontir! Plus me getting stomped by Paul. Fun!

I just realized Paul doesn't have a doom shuttle. That makes me about 5% happier.

I had mentioned in the original thread I planned on running a fantasy league for this league, and with Kelvan's blessing it's happening!

week one's lists: http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/browse_list?tourney=Team+Covenant+Aces+Round+1

(well, 10/12 of them - juggler doesn't support scum yet)

Ugh team covenant aces league. How can I change the title of a thread?

I don't think you can change the title of the thread. If you want the TC Aces then you may just have to bite the bullet and copy paste the info over and keep the new thread near the top.

Link shows Paul running FCS on the shuttle? I am getting a glitchy page from that link. With all the Soontir around it seems like this is time for Vader crew to really shine.

I made a mistake... he's running FCS shuttle over Vader. I'm ok with that. I already have the hard Chirpy counter.

Running eight ships is a pretty good counter to the Admiral!

My plan is to not run the same pilots in the 11 lists, so this should scratch off RAC, Academy Pilot, and Omicron Group Pilot. I might have to change the plan to just not running the same uniques, though, once I get down to the last couple of weeks. It's a listbuilding challenge I assigned myself.

Overall internally we decided we didn't want to run the same lists each week to show off some good options.

Ok, Should I redo this thread since I'm an idiot and named it wrong?
