Attended the local Regionals event this Saturday just gone and taking the liberty of posting their report here for anyone who's interested.

It was a well attended event and I "think" the biggest Imperial Assault Regionals so far?

Congratulations to Alistair Scott for taking the top spot in yesterdays Imperial Assault Regionals in Exeter. Well done also to Matthew Watson for making the final and to Rob Walker, Craig Read, Dave Perks, Richard Parkes, Robert Griffin and Timothy Grievez for making the top 8 cut.

Well done also to James Ryan for taking the best painted, and all those who claimed the spot prizes.

Thanks to all players for making it such a great day of gaming, we hope you all enjoyed. It was an epic day especially those who hung around to the end to enjoy the cut. We appreciate the support from our local community and to those players who travelled great distance and contributed to the success of the day.

Special mention to Rob for taking on the TO duties so I could play for once, to Craig, Tim, Adam and Dodge for providing the entertaining post-cut commentary, Oakley for table reporting and score keeping, and to Catherine for proving all the Admiral Snack Bar catering, and keeping players fuelled with eggs-wing, yoda sodas and Death Star cakes.

Hope to see you all at the next one, or at Nationals next month!

For anyone interested in watching the matches (including commentary after the top 8 cut) they were streamed live from the top table all through the day and you can view them here on past broadcasts: https://www.twitch.tv/kirtongames/profile

Overall it was a great day, lots of variety in the lists there and Kirton Games really put on a great show.

One of the guys from Kirton (James Fox) will also be TO at the UK Nationals so bodes well for a good event there.

It's wroth noting for those of you that dislike intentional draws, both Matt Watson and James Fox declined to take an intentional draw and played the match out.

Happy to answer any questions about the event.

Quite impressive turnout.

Awesome turn-out! It sounds like it was a great tournament. As far as I know that was the largest Regional.

Hey, I played against Alistair Scott on Vassal a few weeks ago! He's a great player, so I'm not surprised that he won. Congrats man!

Yea he was a very good player, gave a good chat through his command deck and the list after the match which was interesting to hear

What was in his command deck?

Alistairs?

I think he goes through it at the end of the Final game from recollection when the guys are chatting with him, he changed this list slightly for Nationals as well though, dropping the Hired Guns for Greedo.

I'm sure he'd be happy to share but not sure he uses the forum here

Yeah, that's who I meant. I'm sure he would too, but I have no idea of how to get in contact with him.

I'll see if I can get it bud

Hey both -

IA Armies list for my regional winner here! And yes I did change to Greedo for the Nationals (he wasn't out at the time of the Kirton regional). I was often much happier with him at the nationals, though truth be told there were a few moments when I felt I could have used the extra figure! :)

Re Command Cards- I think it was Focus and To the limit that I didn't think really paid off in the game. Odd, though - because situationally, I think they're both fantastic!

when do you play camoflauge? Just whenever it pops up in your deck or do you save it for your characters? This is one of those cards, that I always want to include, but then it always gets taken out at the end right before I make my deck, same with Disorient. I always have those in my list when I'm making a squad, but then I find I have 19 cards instead of 15 and 17-18pts instead of 15pts and they always slip out. I can never quite fit them in
