LONDON MASTERS - 1st October

By florianhess, in Star Wars: Armada Organized Play

There are a few in that list Ard. The obvious one being TheCallum. SmurfWedge will be in there too and some others.

Its disheartening to see that Laurence is still in the top spots. I really hoped that the new toys in wave 3 and 4 would be a bit of a roadblock for him. His is the list I am interested in.

I'm sorry to disappoint you...

I take it all back.

GIVE UP AMERICA.

The best of Britain is coming for you!

Hehe, good luck, its gonna be a toughie.

Hang on..... THAT Nigel!

Proud to have lost to that list the week before :D

Just wanted to say big thank you to Florian Hess and Warboar Games for organising and running this fantastic tournament. It was my first tournament and I decided to join in very last moment, but...if I only knew before how much fun it is, then I would never hesitate for a second!

Thanks to Florian for running a great event. It was a fun day, with a great crowd and some really interesting fleet builds.

Important lesson for me learned from this tournament: Take more squadrons!!

Yeah I concur. Fantastic event run by Florian. Great venue, prize support and players.

Fun afternoon.

I came midtable 17th with 4 really good games with really friendly opponents, most of which came from outside of London and travelled all the way down.

Really close game all of which came down to the final turn to decide it pretty much

Game 1 - 6-5 loss by 8 points (against Imperials - Screed)

Game 2 - 7-4 loss by 99 points (against Rebels - Ackbar)

Game 3 - 7-4 loss by 101 points (against Rebels - Mon Mothma)

Game 1 - 8-3 win by 160 points (against Imperials - Vader)

All in all a great day. Cant wait for the next one!!

Since we're doing mini AARs, I came 16th (I can never break Into the **** top half).

Fielded a twin ET Star Cruiser list with 3 transports and bare-bones 4 A-WINGS.

Lost the first game badly against the hard counter to my fleet: 6 Gozanti and a Rhymer mega-ball. His contested outpost. The A-Wings held up nicely but we're. Ot enough to pin down the ball for the whole game, whilst the Libs lacked any juicy targets.

Lost 9-2

Second game against a ISD Demo list. His Minefields. This was more what I built to fight. Won 9-2.

Third game: Rieekan Aces with Tricked out Battle cruiser. My contested outpost. Just lost the game but a load of points came my way via Yavaris flown off the board. I forget the score. 7-4 loss I think.

Fourth round: ISD Demo list again.his Minefields. It was a pretty even score, I forget what it was. Libs both whiffed hard over several turns when demo was in the crossfire and it escaped.

Overall I really like the twin ET lib setupbut lack of dice modification and decent long range damage really made it unpredictable. The list needs a rejig to make the dice more reliable. I did like the ability to zoom both ships straight behind the opponent. Also I didn't miss a larger squadron force except for the first game, and that list would have been hard even with squads due to the **** scatter on the flotillas.

Lastly, I've picked up someone's minefields card. Would anyone like to claim it?

Many thanks for all the kind words! ^_^

Having seen more then 6 months of planning and work come to fruition in such a great way and the immensely positive community feedback really motivates me to make it happen again next year.

Haha, hey Smurf. I was driving the Admiral Ackbar fleet you faced in round 2! Very close game, to the point where a few less blank red dice from your whale would have evened the score.

My capital ship heavy list did ok against the same, but really struggled against squadrons. I just need to figure out how to use squadrons myself now!

Hey Mundo (James I assume)

Yeah it was a really good game mate....my dice let me down but you played it really well.

My bombers just didn't do enough and your placing of your screen was great....tied them up enough that they didn't feature as much as I wanted them to.

Yeah it seems more and more fleets are going slightly more squadron heavy so coming in too light can really hurt.
