My friend is hosting a charity tournament on Saturday and it causing a block in my brain of what to take.

The rules are simple: 100pts but each ship can only have one upgrade card attached to it.

I'm trying to avoid the black crack swarm as that's probably what the others will do. That has left me with a creative block on what to take, so any ideas on ships that don't need a lot cards to work?

I have at least one of everything apart from the corvette and the gazanti. I prefer to fly rebel but I'm not unmovable from that.

Thanks in advance

Jan Ors - TLT (31)

Poe Dameron - R5-P9 (34)

Wedge Antillies - R2-D2 (33)

98 total, one card each.

On a side note, I kinda like this idea for a tourney and may have to run one myself at my LGS

Just put this together for fun .. 99 points ...

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Dorsal Turret (3)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

B-Wing: Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

E-Wing: Blackmoon Squadron Pilot (29)

The E wing is an interesting choice. I like it

What about

Poe -R5P9

Han -Predator

Bandit -Missile of choice

You could do this:

A-Wing (Prototype, Chardaan)

B-Wing (Blue Squad, Mangler)

VCX-100 (Lothal, Dorsal Turret)

HWK-290 (Roark, Autoblaster Turret)

100pts

damnit I can't read

Three /x7 glaives. E: well, two and Vessery, that works better. Or Ryad/Glaive/Vessery. Either way, 3 /x7s.

Defender: Maarek w/ x7

Decimator: Oicunn w/ Palp

TIE: Wampa w/ Stealth Device

Defender: Maarek w/ x7

Decimator: Oicunn w/ Palp

TIE: Wampa w/ Stealth Device

Something I played before, with very solid results:

Black Sun Enforcer (Autothrusters) x2

Cartel Marauder

Black Sun Ace (Predator)

100 points

Or maybe these:

Knave Squadron Pilot (Fire-Control System)

Bandit Squadron pilot (Advanced Homing Missiles)

Roark Garnet (Twin Laser Turret)

Wedge Antilles (Swarm Tactics)

100 points

Prototype Pilot (Chardaan Refit)

Blue Squadron Pilot (Fire-Control System)

Blue Ace (BB-8)

Esege Tuketu (Recon Specialist)

99 points

Defender: Maarek w/ x7

Decimator: Oicunn w/ Palp

TIE: Wampa w/ Stealth Device

Thats mean. I don't have wampa unfortunately.

I meant to write more, but was running out the door to lunch. You COULD swap something else in for Wampa & his Stealth Device, he just has the perfect synergy with Palp. Any Deci with Palp is going to be a bit cruel.

Alternatively, consider what people WON'T have in their lists -- there at a lot of fun ships that REALLY benefit from Autothrusters... But that's not, in my opinion, the first and only upgrade I'd use -- turreted ships, especially TLTs, could be a REAL pain in this tournament. But any PWT ship stands ahead of the crowd in this format, imo.

This sounds like something I'd like to try sometime, too.

Taking it a step further, what about something like "You must have an equal number of Upgrades and Pilots in your list"?

That's just extra incentive for crackswarm

Yer I have a very strong suspicion that that is what's gunna happen. I'm hope to play left of field for this and everyone has delivered spades. So many ideas from you awesome people.

Just thought I would throw this out there even though you are primarily Rebel.

Dark Curse with Stealth Device

Zeta Squadron Pilot (X5)

That was fun to fly as my first ever swarm and only 99 points

Personally, I would fly a Mindlink squad. Not exactly sure how I would set it up, though. Maybe

Zuckuss

Bossk

Kaa'to Leachos

Tansarii Point Veteran

each with Attanni Mindlink. Not that it's good, but that's probably what I would run.

I can't believe nobody has suggested Miranda yet. Like I said, TLTs get better in this format, and she's for sure the best Rebel regen pilot if we're talking about 1 upgrade only.

Just throw Biggs in there next to her so she can't take the alpha strike, then watch her never die. Meanwhile, there are enough points left over to push your Y-Wing and Z-95 up to PS4, so they can shoot simultaneous with Crack Swarms.

Interesting tourney, but crack swarms are gonna be #1.

2x Gold Ywings + Autoblaster = 40pts

Roark + Autoblaster = 21pts

Chopper + Autoblaster = 39pts

Sounds interesting, but like others have said crack swarm will be tough to beat. Without a lot of thought, my first attempt would be

YV-666: Trandoshan Slaver (29)

Gunner (5)

YV-666: · Bossk (35)

· Dengar (3)

StarViper: Black Sun Enforcer (25)

Autothrusters (2)

With a very odd tournament comes a very odd list...

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Outer Tim Smuggler(27)

Jan Ors (2)

Tactical Jammer (1)

Biggs Darklighter (26)

R2-D2 (4)

I know, Outer Rim Smuggler, but when flown correctly he can give Biggs an extra green, keepING the heat off the y's until they can auto blast away.

The Smuggler is smuggling an extra upgrade over what's allowed for the format
