While this fleet looks like it has weak ships, its squadrons hit hard and often. The B-Wings are usually pretty effective at swatting squadrons if needed. Rieekan died, but not before leaving him with only one VSD and the Gozanti. Salvation and Bright Hope were able to finish them both off though. I took a 423 to 248 victory, a 175 MoV and 8-3 victory for me.

Don't stop remembering that Heavy does not mean unengaged. I remembered most times for FCT but forgot sometimes. Whenever I fly this fleet though, I feel like I'm setting up all these dice for my opponent to fly through.

I'm still looking for games, can never get enough practice! Feel free to PM me if you are interested.

ITzSTEVE vs MATT-SHADOWLORD

Starting in 10 minutes

Ard vs Aresius starting now.

In a disapointing turn of events, no games were able to be matchups of the week.

Ard vs Aresius saved at the halfway point, to be resumed at a time TBD. Currently Aresius is down a pair of flotillas and a pair of A-wings, and Ard down an MC30 and all four A-wings. Both Intel Sweep objective ships are still in play, the Intel Sweep score is tied at 2-2, and both are bearing down on the last token like the game depends on it.

I'm looking to get in more qualifier games.

Timezone GMT +2.

Just finished up a bit of a marathon against SoonerTed. emfrank72 defeats SoonerTed 392 to 248 for a 8 to 3 win with a MOV of 144. The objective was Contested Outpost and I pretty much camped on it with my ISD for the first four rounds to get an easy 80 points. My ISD and squads set up opposite of his fleet which were set up facing left so I place Demolisher on the upper right hoping to catch him from the rear in the later rounds which worked wonderfully although my ISD could have used some support once all three of his Nebulon Bs turned straight on into the ISD. My squads spent the game tracking his down and destroying them. I ended up losing 7 of my 11 to take out his 7 but since mine were TIEs and a couple of TIE advanced, I made out pretty good in that point exchange. The only problem was that it left my ISD on its own which eventually succumbed to concentrated fire and some kamikaze runs from the the Nebs but it did take 2 of them out. On turn 6 Demolisher finally caught up to Redemption and finished it off.

SoonerTed's Intel Officers were apparently sleeping at there posts until the last couple of rounds so didn't make the impact that SoonerTed was hoping for. Luckily Darth Vader doesn't put up with that but now that I think of it, I could have inteled Bright hopes scatter which may have helped me out. Time for Vader to force choke that dude. So I'd say we both made pretty poor usage of intel officers. Also when Demo is firing at Nebs with 2 braces, Intel officer with no accuracies isn't all that helpful.

SoonerTed's transports only received damage from bumping into own ships.

Again a good game and it could have gone either way with a couple different decisions here or there.

My big mistake was moving my squads too far out away from the protection of the Neb-B Escort AAA fire. I also ran out of activations by trying to intercept Demolisher with my bombers rather than letting him get closer to me. Those unique TIE's are brutal against my squads, but if I had them in range of my Escort Nebulon-B's, it might have been different. I'm having to learn to be patient and let the game come to me. I learned a lot, and I think the game was a marathon because we both forgot some key abilities we had.

Also, I'm bad at initial positioning, hence the bumps. Redemption is a great title on Support Refit. Kept my stuff alive an extra turn at least.

Finally, we learned from an observer late that zombie escorts (Wedge & Luke) have to be fired on even with 0 hull instead of what they were escorting. Fun times.

Hello, I would like to get in at least one game this week. Let me know if you think you want to play a late night game Pac time (9:30 ish start) or a lunch time game (12-2ish?) in two parts.

I could do a lunch game tomorrow 12-2ish. I'm Pacific time as well.

I forgot to mention that emfrank72 was a fantastic and patient opponent. I had to manage toddlers during part of the game, and he was polite and calm during the entire time.

Emfrank, sounds good man! Let's plan on it.

No need for a frown. I don't get to play much locally, and I have learned a ton from my experience here so far. I do want to try Table Top Simulator sometime.

I'm looking to get in more qualifier games.

1 / 3 of the way through qualifiers. We have our first +1 Average article, from comatose!

Who will the others be?

Emfrank, sounds good man! Let's plan on it.

Cool. I'll be ready by Noon. Just have to figure what fleet I want to use. It will probably be very similar to fleet I've used in my last couple of matches with a few tweaks.

Anyone available to play this Saturday?

Anyone available to play this Saturday?

There is a small possibility I might be. What time zone are you, and when are you available Sat?

I'm available to start a game between 6pm and 8pm (UTC-5) tonight if anyone needs a game.

I'm available Saturday, 8:00am CDT let me know.

Matt,if you and Maturin can't get scheduled let me know....

I'm in US Central time, and can be available any time. Actually have a free Saturday for once.

It has kind of been alluded to above, but Brobafett V. Emfrank72 is happening noon today!

Broba vs emfrank72 has reached the end of turn 2 and will be continued tomorrow at noon. So far he has taken out Howlrunner and a TIE advanced which I have traded for 3 X-wings. Lots more squadron carnage to ensue tomorrow.

I have two games paused in their final stages now.

Game 1 vs ItzSteve: Precision Strike

My Yavaris powered list with FCT on a Star Cruiser vs ItzSteve's 4Y 4X 5 ship fleet. Steve lost his Craken-taxi quite early. A highlight of the game was his MC30 killing 2 fresh ships in a single turn (nice!), but the centre turned into an absolute murderzone with my Star Cruiser scoring some excellent objective criticals, so this game is paused but pretty much over in my favour.

Game 2 vs Maturin: Intel Sweep

My Home 1 Ackbar 'Floating Trash' list vs Maturin's BC 4 Transport megabomber fleet. Maturin dispatched one of my assault frigates extremely fast, and his 11 squadrons gained superiority over my 5. My attempt to level the score by taking out the Battle Cruiser almost worked, but it has screamed off at speed 3 to the end of the map to nurse its 2 remaining hull points.

This game is anything but a forgone conclusion however, as I still have a chance to win by playing the objective. Yes, it's come to that.
