This was a good combination. I figured I'd be getting 2nd player a lot with 399 points worth of bid, so I stacked the deck with Opening Salvo (For hunting big game), Contested Outpost (Thank you for 60 points), and Intel Sweep (Thank you for the 75 points [and/or easy kill]).

First game was kind of a 'meh' fight against a kitted out ISDII with Motti, kitted out Warlord VSDII and a VSDI and no fighters. Still managed to fight it to a stalemate with the other player's opening salvo, 8 pt MOV for them (5-5) after my VSD, GSD, and Raider went to flank their VSDII and knocked it out of the fight - only to find the ISD had turned away from my decoy VSDI and was bearing down on the group. Ended up with the enemy Warlord dead, my Raider and GSD dead, and damage cards on everything else for 50% point value of the ship.

Second game went more my way - again I was second player (but not by choice) and picked Minefields, confident that my VSDs could crash through and not take any significant damage. I was up against an ISDI w/ Screed (and lots of upgrades), a VSDI with ACMs, and a Demolisher, as well as all 3 non-Dengar named Villain fighters. Game ended with me anihilating his Demolisher with Dominator, then trading the VSDII for his ISD. 8-2 win with 199 MOV.

Final fight can be seen here. No audio at the start though. I was up with 13 points against the tournament leader with 15 points. This was against a B-Wing swarm Garm lead MC80 / AFII. We went Gunnery Teams of all things as I was interested in seeing how it would work with Dominator. Answer - pretty well. Squadrons held up well, but more importantly for this thread, both VSDs were able to do considerable damage to the AFII and then to the MC80 that was trying its best to hide in the back. Not sure it was the best fight to observe for maneuvering - it was basically a carrier list that was trying to fight with guns. Wound up winning that one and taking the tournament.

Final thoughts for the Tournament:

I really, really missed SW7s on Dominator. I want to get those back on somehow. Either way though, it makes for a 106 point death machine - I am pretty sure everything that I have pointed one at has died in one way or another. Tractor Beams were not used very often in the tournament, but when they were they were well worth their points. 12 points I did not mind investing in. VSDI continued to feel a bit naked when it did get into the thick of battle, but it was usually a flaming wreck (while coaxing important shots away from Dominator), so I don't feel too bad there.

Non-VSD thoughts were that squadrons were very good for what they are there to do (thanks Doobleg for the composition that I shamelessly stole from your World Cup list). Tarkin is hilariously fun as a weird turbo Garm - the right free tokens at the right time saved my bacon in a few places. I didn't use Insideous once - wasted points there.
