There were 13. I was in the final match with Ron, the score was 39-40 and was back and forth the entire match.

Atlanta regional winner arrow-10x10.png Travis C. 10 players, top 4.

1st Luke, Gideon, Mak, Jyn, Rebel Sabs, Elite Reb Sabs x2

2nd 4 officer 4 guard

Top4 Vader, guard, stormtrooper, 4x officer

Top4 At-St, Guard, Elite Probe, 4x officer, elite officer

Some other lists:

Buddy of ours played first tournament arrow-10x10.png (only played a couple games before) with 9 act imperial (2x guard, 4x officer, 2x elite probe, stormtrooper)

There was a similar rebel list to mine, but with only 1 elite sab. He had elite troopers and both skirmish upgrade arrow-10x10.png cards instead. Said he was supposed to meet a guy to borrow more sabs or something the day of, but it fell through. A couple other similar rebel builds as well, but they didn't do too well.

There was a Weiss list that was probably somewhat similar to the generic at-st one.

Saw a 2xguard, 2x elite probe, 3x officer, elite e-web. I'm still not too impressed with the e-web craze of late. Overrated. Way too easy to avoid most of the time.

I'll update but any news about the New York regional.

Yeah, I was the guy with the make shift Rebel list. I was going to run:

Luke Skywalker

Mak Eshka’rey

Jyn Odan

Gideon Argus

Elite Rebel Saboteur

Elite Rebel Saboteur

Rebel Saboteur

I just need to pick up my own Saboteurs.

Hindsight being 20-20, I should have done something different. Maybe next time.

If this is what gencon looks like at the top tables I would be ok with this. Yeah imperials are showing up a lot but man they have a lot of builds to pick from and it sounds like Rgc didn't even show up.

I brought the E-Web list and ended 2-2...with both losses being extremely close to the two guys who ended up 1 and 2. Including the Regional, I still haven't played a total of 10 games of Skirmish. I really enjoy the game, it's just finding time between X-Wing, Armada, Conquest, and this.

I won a regionals in Toronto Ontario on the weekend there were only 4 of us, so I don't know if you really want to track it. We played round robin with a finals match.

The final lists were:

Chris: 1st: Chewy, Elite Sabs x2, Jyn, Mak, Gideon

Carlo: 2nd: 4x officer, 2x Elite E-Web, 2x royal guard

It was a really tight game, In all honesty the only reason I won was because we played Leave No Evidence in the finals. We played a speed map the first time we played during the round robin and he wiped the floor with me.

Win rates between factions seem to be balancing out which is nice to see.

Very nice, despite the apparent denial.

Something else to consider is the small size of the events and what they were all playing.

They have at least 6 wins in tournaments with 10+ participants. Obviously it'd be nice to have more data from larger tournaments but the only tournament I've heard of with more than 14 players has been the UK Nationals which had 30 (I will concede that the top 4 there were all Imperial, all of which had at least 3 officers and 2 sets of royal guards).

Part of it I think it people look on the internet and see people talk about how over-powered certain combos are and play those.

Another part of it, is in smaller events, someone might not be even playing it.

FYI, at the SW Washington/Oregon Regional Championship today (6/27/15), a 4 RG / 4 Officer list won. 10 players. I made top 4 with RGC, 2 RG, 4 Officers. Final was two 4x4 lists, and I left, so I'm not sure who the individual winner was.

Other top 4 player had RGC, 1 RG, elite stormies, and 4 officers. Only 1 rebel army out of 10 players. I don't think there were any other RG/officer lists in the tourney.

I'll write a report later this weekend to share my experience.

I just won the Vancouver WA regionals today. Ran: 4x Royal Guard, 4x Imperial Officer.

10 players, 4 rounds of swiss, cut to top 4. Second place was the same list.

Thanks for compiling the lists!

I think the Atlanta Regional winning list in the first post has one too many units of regular Sabs. As listed it come to 45 points.

Halifax, NS, CA

Board Room Game Cafe

Attendance: 13

1st: Vader, Royal Guard, Stormtrooper (elite), Officer x2

2nd (me): E-Web (elite) x2, Royal Guard x2, Officer x4

will update with the other 2 top 4 soon.

Really close final, had gone undefeated including beating the other player earlier in the prelims by focusing Vader down early. For some reason decided I could ignore him this game and win off picking off his weaker guys and getting objectives but Vader started mowing through me before I had a chance to get the second holocron I needed to seal it. Ah well, was a fun day and nationals are a 8 hour flight away anyway so not too worried about coming 2nd.

Matt Phillips took Covenant's Tulsa regional with the dreaded 4x4 build.

Why so low of a turn out figured you guys would of got more?

Since there were only 6 was there a top 4 cut guessing no but thought I would ask?
