Looks like the second nationals event after GenCon.

It's this weekend in Sydney.

Who's going and what are you planning on running?

I'm thinking of going a space whale and 3 Nebs

I am, still tossing up between a 1Vic 2 GSD or a Rebel bomber force with 1AF, 1 Neb and 1 CR90,

Will be practicing tomorrow night at Good Games Newcastle if anyones keen

Whale + 3 Neb is a lot of fun, especially with X17's

Yup ill be there. Not sure yet what i'll play. Leaning towards 3 nebs and being list

Three of us are going. I've been using the nebulon list also. Seems popular, so must mean it's good!

I can't go..... the dark side clouds everything....

sadly i cant make it, but i'll try and make it to next years one

Unfortunately I can't make it to Sydney for this one. I hope you all have a great time though!

Good fleet, I expect you'll do well.

Im in Sydney and trying to get practice games in at different LGS but seems no one feels like practice lol.

I'll be there, I'm pre-registered, and have my special Star Wars underwear ready to rock!

Unable to commit to a list, though. More testing tonight, and I think I have gone full circle on what I am planning on taking. Good luck to everyone going, and I'm sure I'll see you there.

There's a reason some of us downloaded Vassal.

Never an issue in Newcastle

Any news?

Can't comment on the other lists, but I nabbed 2nd with:

Rebel Alliance (Standard) (293pts)

Assault Frigate Mark IIB (127pts) [Advanced Projectors (6pts)

Enhanced Armament (10pts)

Gunnery Team (7pts)

Intel Officer (7pts)

Garm Bel Iblis (25pts)]

Assault Frigate Mark IIB (102pts) [Advanced Projectors (6pts), Enhanced Armament (10pts), Gunnery Team (7pts)

Intel Officer (7pts)]

Nebulon-B Support Frigate (64pts) [X17 Turbolasers (6pts)

Salvation (7pts)]

Advanced Gunnery

Intel Sweep

Hyperspace Assault

With the points bid I chose to go second in all of my games.

Game 1: vs 4 ship Rebel build (Hyperspace assault).

8-2 win.

Game 2: vs Rhymer bomber build (Hyperspace assault)

5-5 Draw

Game 3: vs 5 ship rebel build (Intel Sweep)

10-0 win.

Happy to answer any questions.

Lots of rebel builds. Interesting that you got a daw and still got second place. Hmmmm at 32+ people it would have been 5 rounds. . . That would have been harder.

That list is similar to mine but I use a CR90 instead of the Neb. Hmmm

2nd-4th were all sitting on 23 points. Intel Sweep in the last game helped immensely in getting a larger MOV than the other two.

Good for you! Why did your last opponent pick Intel Sweep? I figure he had 4 Corvettes and a Neb right?

No reason whatever unfortunately. Had a migraine by the last game and was pretty impaired.

Had 3 CR90A and 2 Nebs.

Curiosity question : did the majority of lists run the no fighter meta?

There were definitely some bomber lists around. Everything from a full on Rhymer bomb to an elite rebel squadron carrier list. Still waiting on the full lists to be published.

From the looks of it, the vast majority of lists and no or very few fighters.
