My first tournament starring Boba Fett

By flightmaster101, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Hey everybody, I am mainly a campaign player but my local shop owner said he's gonna put a tournament together and I really like the guy and his shop so I want to come out to support him. I don't know who really plays in my area so I guess you could say we don't have a defined meta. I have all the stuff to date and I really like Boba Fett. Anyways here is my idea for a list:

Boba Fett (13)

Elite Tusken Raiders (7)

Elite Stormtroopers (9)

Heavy Stormtroopers (6)

Imperial Officer (2) x2

Temporary Alliance (1)

With a command deck of:

Capture the weary (1)

Element of Surprise

Explosive Weaponry (1) x2

Expose weakness

Focus (1)

Inspiring Speech (2)

Mandalorian Tactics (3)

Merciless (1)

New Orders (3)

Price on Their Heads (1)

Rank and File (1)

Recovery

Take Initiative

Urgency

Let me know any thoughts, especially on the command deck. Thanks.

Looks like a fun list. I especially like drawing Element of Surprise and using it with Boba. I think you should have a decent balance of speed too. I am interested in how this will work out. Post your results. Good luck!

I was just playing around with an exact same list while reading a few posts on the forums. Also a Fett fan and always hoped he managed to crawl his way out off the "Great Pit of Carkoon"!!!

Looking at Trandoshan Hunter swaped with the E TR too. Can you let know how you go? And if you also considered TH and if you did why you dropped them?

I only have 1 core (on principle) and 1 set of TS (again on principle). So It is a bit tougher to build the good 4x4 list. I have stated many times in many forums that FFG should release all villain sets that come in the box separate as well, but thats a story to itself .

I will definitely update on how well I do. According to some others I have talked to they only have 1 set as well, so there will at least be a few non-professional skirmish players there!

Quoted for truth

Would swap Explosive Weaponry (1) x2 for something else, we used alot in the beginning and have now swapped it out entirely, never get enough out of it.

Well unfortunately I found out I am not so good at skirmish. I had a good game with a guy running 4x wookie Warriors and Garkhan. It was the Kuat map where you put strain on objective tokens for 3 Vps a piece. Well all he had to do was camp out because 11 health is tough to get through. He won 30-14 we went to time.

Then I lost to a Luke Han Chewie list on raiders at the moisture farm.he basically turtled in a corner while I killed all the raiders. After I amassed 26 points he decided he needed to risk coming out, got my heavy SS and 1 officer. Then I misread a card and got me trandosians killed. Oh yea I subbed trandosians for tuskens above. Then I missplayed my last officer and couldn't double activate boba fett and he got killed. At time it was like 38-26.

Since I got the bye in the first round I had one win and with the store's extra prize support (3 free a/v packs). I still got a nifty dice bag.

First I would pull the heavy troops out and put royal guards in. Then I would seriously look at synergy since I had soooo many dead draws on my command cards. I found out too many key words = bad news.

Oh well it was fun and I would do it again, but boba needs serious scum support.

Have you got any of the Reinforcements command card?

With half your models being troopers, I think this would add value. Even more so if you have two!

I have it as in I have it in my collection. After seeing what is valuable in skirmish I am going to take a hard look at command cards and make sure I have useful things on any draw in there.

Thirded. I like Skirmish, but if I were to buy another $100 box, let alone 3, it would be to buy into Armada or to buy every X-Wing ship I want and the storage to carry it. I want more Trandoshans, more Elite Officers, and could do with some more EWebs.
