Hello everyone,

I've got an escalation tournament coming up, and it's a format that I've been interested in but have never played. On that note, I have no idea where to start in order to allow myself room to ramp up.

My favorite 100 pt squad at the moment is:

Shadow Squadron

- Advanced Cloaking Device

- Intel Agent

- Sensor Jammer

Shadow Squadron

- Advanced Cloaking Device

- Intel Agent

- Sensor Jammer

Turr Phennir

- Veteran Instincts

- Autothrusters

Unfortunately, none of these fit nicely into a 60-90-120-150 format and I can't seem to figure out anything good to add when the points limit increases.

With that, I'd really like some help on a place to start. I really enjoy flying squirrely ships like phantoms and interceptors, but I'm up for flying most any ship and have a pretty decent collection.

Any help is very appreciated!

How about first starting with Turr and a single Shadow sans IA and SJ.

For 90 points, clone the Shadow.

Turr fits nicely into later rounds, Seeing what you're starting with I'd recommend a list similar to this:

60:

Shadow Squadron, ACD, IA

Shadow Squadron, IA

90 (88):

+ Turr, VI, AT

120 (116):

+ACD, +SJ

+SJ

+ Dark Curse

150:

+Carnor Jax, PTL, AT, SD

I'm getting a theme here

Is it the one in okc?

Can't go wrong with shadows and sigmas right now.

Wow! Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it!

JonnyD and Dagonet, I think I'll run something very similar to what you're thinking. It fits perfectly into my play style and I can really see how the list evolves over the course of the tournament.

TasteTheRainbow, yup that's the one. Really like the players down here, so I'm looking forward to it and hope that I can make it.

Don't forget to follow up with your list, and a batrep Good luck!

I'd start with Turr + Shadow.

You'll want your own PS9 ace to combat any potential PS9 aces that come up in the 60 pt round, which are pretty common.
