Mixed bag.

Equally you could say that all the people saying activation advantage and squadrons are overpowered have been proven right once again.

Yes, that is true. But both sides have access to these things. My point was that no faction is stronger, it's all to lists and players skills.

Hey, I got to top four with no squadrons...

2018 Euro champs will be Birmingham again. However, Alex Watkins does not want this to become the single location alla Gencon and so 2019 should be somewhere else in Europe.

A 2 year contract was signed with the uk games expo.

All because of Ben.

And now we can look forward to Ben breaking worlds next year!

If you lent Tokra an objective card let me know... I thought it was Gammonlord, but maybe not.

It was Gammonlord, he just scared me there for a sec.

Updated the image links in the two commentary threads so the photos are embedded.

Grats to all the players and winners, good to hear you guys had fun!

I cant help hating these lists though, hating them so hard :-(. One actual ship... and rediculous amounts of flotillas...

Huge props to Alex for his list, but it didn't win, and was pretty much another activation spam list.

The list from ben was great but is not unbeatable. It was just to bad that i kicked out both who were able to beat him ?.

There was just no way for me to beat ben. And on top were his really perfect squadron dice rolls ?.

The win was well deserved to him.

I am only happy that i didnt have to play two or three times against him in the swiss (like the TOs tried to do first).

I updated the Major Tournament Data spreadsheet with the finals of the European Championship. If the full fleet lists for Ben and Tokra get posted, please let me know so I can fill in details.

I will work on getting the Player Rankings updated soon as well.

Congrats to all. Sounds like a really good time.

Someone posted photos of the pictures of the lists (including their handwritten edits) on Facebook.

... and I type at close to 90wpm @95% when I'm properly warmed up, so transcription took but a moment.

If my german is good enough. Tokra has brought Director Isard into a final....

Yes, i had isard in the list. But to be honest, she helped me only on one game (and it didnt really matter on that match). On all other matches ir was useless to check the comands, because it was obviously what they had.

But i had as well the only tarkin (again ☺)

But without isard i would had a chance against ben. Because he had 398 and i had 400 points. Without her i could have choosen to be first player.But being second player did not help and really hurt. And cost me the game.

I had to play against ben already earlier. And in that game my main goal was not to lose to high (was a 5-6 in the end). But this tactic does not work in the final ?.

He well deserved the win. This list was better than mine, and he was flying with no errors. Sadly i was the one that kicked both lists, that did beat him (and were able to do it again), out of the match. One in the last swiss round by beating him to bad, and the other in the top 4.

Just to address the elephant in the room. Iceheart in the Goz. Nerf inc.

And some more statistics:

Admirals, ships and squadron.

If there is any meta now for the euro area, it is activations.

With an average of 5 and 6 if you want a chance for a double tap.

The imperial 7 ship list was really nice. Extreme anti squadron with two raiders, both titels and flechette+ordance experts. And only whisper as squadons.

And a bid of 21 points. So he could make sure to be first player, and the raiders were able to take out the squasrons this way.

He went 5th in the end, missed the cut by a score of 1 (he had a better mov than the 4th).

Pretty much what I've found. Activations.
