First round I drew double pancake. Soontir goes down in a range 3 ball of fire in the first round of shooting. I battle back gamely losing 125-75
Round 2 I drew the double defender build that had 200-0 redline's squad.
The opening pass see's brath go down to focused fire and soontir going down to one hull. Mauler buys it against a Vessary HLC shot.
Backstabber, proceeds to be in Vessary's way for about 4 turns letting Vader and Soontir chip away from long range behind him. Even with Tie MK II engines the defenders dial isn't all that good against Vader and Soontir. I win it 183-17.
Round three I draw my old list and good friend with the rebel swarm.
This game went long, taking over an hour as the cowardly imperials under my command hit and ran rarely coming closer than range 2. Mauler dies in the opening pass, but by the time its over both Bs are either dead or down far enough they have no hope.
Soontir is down to 1 hull, Backstabber is tangling with a Z, and Vader is fresh against two mostly fresh Ys and a 1 shield Z.
I run away and force him to break formation and attack from three directions. He collapses on Vader. He loses both Ys after a few turns but gets Vader down to 1 hull. The Z is now against a pair of legends on one hull and Backstabber who continues to flit around the board.
The Z goes down with SOontir and Vader in Range 1 of him.
The key for me, was forcing my opponent to fight three different threats. Mauler Backstabber, didn't work so well losing Mauler early for little.
Vader and Soontir just worked the formation apart, hammering the targets who had actions or were threatening.
My list on the other hand needed tweaking hard core. I'd drop Mauler to an Academy tie. Because I think I got his 5 point ability to proc once all game. As opposed to Backstabber who was a king all tournament long.
I'd have spent that five points on TIE MK 2 engines for Vader or Soontir and Engine for Vader.
Probably SOontir because opening up more of the dial to green makes him even harder to block.
Vader was golden, ATC usually procing for solid damage after Soontir opened up the targets shields.
I think quad TLT Ywings would have eaten my lunch unless my Soontir and Vader dice held up.
