Looking forward to it!

Any hints as to what the forces will be?

I am there, watching with no sound, and commenting mostly to myself in the Chatroom :D

MC80 - Ackbar, Boosted Comms, ECM, Support Officer
MC80 - Boosted Comms, ECM, Support Officer, Defiance

2x X-Wings
4x Y-Wings

YT-1300

YT-2400

Jan Ors

vs

ISD II - Vader, Monferrat, Phylom Q7, Relentless

ISD II - Captain Needa, Phylom Q7

Raider II - Impetuous

Boba Fett

Bossk

In a Superior Positions Matchup

Imperials as First Player.

That ISD has to be going off the board.

Need that ECM on those ISD IIs. Fighters will help mitigate ECM with multiple single dice attacks. Wave II has made a big impact on fighterless fleets.

Daughter didnt let me watch, looking forward to thd youtube link

For some reason, I'm not sure the whole video is appearing on Twitch... it cuts off at 57 minutes, so only about halfway through the game. Not sure what's up!

Okay nm, looks like there's a processing lead time.

Fun to watch! I thought Sean did a nice job with his early maneuvering, but missed out on an opportunity. IMO, instead of activating the ISD with Needa first, he should have led with the Raider, allowing him to not only get the Raiders shots off at the cloud of squadrons (some of whom were double arc'd) and use impetious (6 black squadron dice at one lucky double arc'd fighter) but I believe he would also have been able to sneak into the lead MC-80's front arc, blocking the conga line. It would have required him to surrender his back arc, I believe, to the MC-80, but c'est la vie. He then probably should have not tractor beamed the Defiance, and let them bounce off each other. Although each of these points is only valid if I'm eyeballing the distances correctly from the camera. I know Sean isn't as hardcore into the game as those of us on these forums, and I'm not saying this to criticize, but because I believe might have had you outmaneuvered if he had changed up his activation order.

Also, that roll you picked up looked considerably worse then the one you wound up with. :P

It didn't want to show me the second half of the game. I assume you won? You seemed to have a pretty good position on him.

Missed it Live. Hope to see it on Youtube!

Here's the Youtube link:

Enjoying these video's can't wait for your dice cam to come in :)

I was surprised he didn't activate Impetuous also. That could've been a lot of damage on my squadrons!

Scout's honor I didn't have time to see the roll!

The second half is there now if you follow the youtube link :)

I honestly thought that in the turn after the Raider dying that he would activate the flagship and force your lead ship to activate and move into the front and side arc of Needa a turn earlier.

Hindsight is always 20/20 :)

Not enough fighter support, I see way to many Imperial players taking to many capital ships and getting smoked with lack of their own fighter support.

Really enjoyed watching thanks. Your daughter brings the important "cuteness" factor in which other battle reports sorely lack.

haha thanks, she's the best. Today she dressed up like Darth Vader to go see some 501st Legion Stormtroopers doing a toy drive. But her instincts kicked in when she saw them, and became highly suspicious because... they're bad guys.

There is good in her yet!
