Worlds Meta

By Mikael Hasselstein, in Star Wars: Armada

I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm glad different builds can do well. But I won't ever be buying 4 flotillas for this game xD

I did, but only two for each faction. The super-swarm seems like a big gamble.

-stealth edit- Also, not surprised at a fleet with 6 TIEs getting it's crap kicked in by 8 YT-2400s. With the matchup disparity there, I have to assume the TIE Fighters were for deployment advantage.

His name is Nairo D I believe

Nope, that is not me :)

Didnt get visa on time (Poland is the only one Country that doesnt have non visa agreement :( ) So it is very difficult to go to play on Worlds :/

Ah, its Tokra!

What type of breakdown? I saw about 50/50 rebel/empire. Most squad builds, nearly all.

I am an engineer, so whatever crazy level of minute detail that can be pulled is appreciated. Post copies of every single players' fleet sheets and records, etc.

On a realistic note:

Ships and commanders for as many fleets as you see, a vague description of squad screen, and final totals would be plenty.

By my count: 17 imps, 22 rebs

Emailed FFGOP asking for results and lists when they get them. My Bothan is too busy actually having a good time at Worlds to bother gathering statistics. What a jerk.

If he's playing Rebels, indeed, what a jerk

If he's playing the Empire - of course he's not wasting time for your petty concerns. He has a galaxy to save from chaos and nihilism!

He'll be playing Rebels tomorrow.

Today, he's an unarmed senator on a consular ship.

Doggone it, I got into this game to play with Capital Ships. Had I wanted to play with tiny ships I would have stayed in Xwing. This infuriates me. 8 Gozanti, really???

In other words, he is part of the rebel alliance and a traitor.

Take him away!

Some info on lists for day 1.

41 player, 3 took national bye.

20 rebell, 21 imperial.

People's game: play what you want!

I want to play 3 ISD's and TIE's. I'm happy I'm more than welcome to :) !

True, true.

I arrived and looked over the room with Skycake. For some reason I'd assumed the "half a foot between tables" comment meant the room was packed cheek by jowl - but it turns out there's plenty of room between table rows. It's just that the mats are very close to the mats on either side...

Whew. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Good stuff, thanks for compiling!

As I'm not playing tomorrow I will try to get as many details on here as I can. General thoughts from today, lots of flotillas and squads, but good variation in builds. I saw at least one of each ship in the game. I didn't have time to gather better information, but Tokra collection his during round 1 (he had 8 gozantis with a bye). I'll just put my list here too:

Assault frigate MK2 B

Dodonna

Flight Controllers

MC30 torpedo

APT

Ordnance Experts

H9 Turbos

Admonition

GR-75

Toryn Farr

BCC

Bright Hope

GR-75

BCC

GR-75

Leia

Comms Net

8x Y-Wing

2x YT-1300

2x HWK-290

I don't think there is a ton of 4x floateeyas.

I love seeing the fringe lists and love seeing a game that doesn't automatically reward fringers with victory, as the great player mix at the top showed.

And beautiful list JJ. Easy was weeping Y-shaped tears all day.

Edit: also, great to see the AF2 finding a niche in wave 4. The trick seems to be to keep it lean and focussed.

JJ had "8x Y-Wing 2x YT-1300 2x HWK-290" for squadrons. Steve, 8x YT24.

Ironic... I went downstairs for something unrelated to gaming, and I saw the last list I had set up to try was a 2 AF list.

I haven't played in about 3 weeks. :D

Thanks, I was asking about the Y's. I've finally got enough to run some silly lists and wondering what others have had success with.

The table space is very VERY crowded. Tables are 3 feet across, exactly, and each pair has maybe half a foot to one side of each play area. Some lucky folks on the fringe have about a foot. For an official ffg tourney with a $75 fee they should have done better.

Seriously? That's pretty poor for a "big deal" tourney. FOR SHAME!

Three ISDs (que* Vader's Theme Music) :P

I tried running ywing spam a few times. I find that the heavy squad spams comes with all the negatives of playing without squad to a certain extent and without the benefit of two extra mc30s.

Kudos to JJ, but its not for me. And thats a good thing, I will stick to Bs.

(....and YV666 tie advanced combined fleets of course)
