It was MM. Pretty sure that's reflected accurately...?

Nah, just a little joke, it's obviously just an anomaly.
Not an anomlay at all. We've had about 9% of fleets show up with no squadrons. With your win it is now 10% Top 4 and 8% Winners. I would say the data predicted your victory @Ardaedhel ! Or at least made it an expected result.

I read it wrong oops. Though, Akbar mc30s 7ship MSU sounds pretty fun.
Do you wanna talk about your list a bit more? More specifically how to play against FCT moved squadron lists. I see you beat a 9squadron Pelta list in 2nd, but its different from the FCT style.
Do you actually literally zoom one shrimp in at a time for first last? At speed 4? Also, only have 5 initiative bid for first seems really risky. What angle do you come in to avoid flying off the map if the opponent corner deploys?
Btw shmitty, I think you know this already but the extra tables of calculation aren't updating for newer fleets added.

I'm working on a write-up. May get around to working on it tonight, not sure.
I didn't actually get to face
@Parkdaddy
with his Pelta list.
He jumped to #2 with a 10-1 on the second table in the last round. I did face Rieekan Yavaris B-wings in the first round, but not the Pelta evolution.
The Yavaris game is on the twitch though, as is the final against @Vergilius . Geekoutsa is the broadcaster name.

That's an known feature...
It has to do with how Baltanok set up the formulas for analyzing the squadrons. They only pull that data for tournaments we have all the fleet lists for.
I was the one running the Sato Fleet at Milwaukee, did quite well before choking a bit last game (was 8th going into game 3). Was my first armada tourney or organized play so I think I did ok
Anyway the Fleet List was:

MM is a soft counter on the MC30 for bombers especially if they have only one dice. You BCC that dice to a hit/crit? Reroll it please.
(also someone copied Ards list)

I would agree that the Rebels do have the best flotilla killer in the game, but disagree that it is the shrimp. I'd argue that it's an engine teched Cr90b. No need to waste attacks on one, or to completely whiff on an all-important roll (or refills). Also about half the cost.

I've brought this up ad nauseam, but again, and I would stress to ask you to reply to this @TallGiraffe : This is only true for Rhymer and single die bombers, namely Tie Bombers. Which in this case, again it really is the expectation that each die will average at 1dmg.
If I launch 4 tie bombers at you and I don't reroll if I get 1 hit, you can't make it much better with Mon Mothma. Eitherway, I just expect to do an avg of 1hit. Instead of fishing for hit crit on one die, where there's a chance I BBC re roll it into a miss.
For a B and a Gold Squadron its easier to illustrate: Vs Mon Mothma, at close range, you simply leave it at black=hit blue=hit or crit. You can't really reroll either. That's the correct play with a 2 die bomber.
--
TLDR: you simply keep the single hit vs Mon Mothma at close range.

Eh, that's not entirely true. I'd reroll until I had double crits, especially with Rebels thanks to Norra Wexley. Even Admonition would have to then both spend and discard a token in order to get rid of both.
The counter to MM is multiple critical effects/double damage, which reduces her core ability of forcing rerolls. When that is an option, you should always go for it if your list is built around doing critical effects. For example, if you have Demolisher hitting with APTs vs a Mon Mothma MC30, you should first be using OE to fish for critical effects, then Screed to add more crits. This way, even if they have Lando or a similar defensive mechanic to reroll or cancel more than one die, the opponent has to reroll as many dice as possible which increases the chance that you get another critical effect.
Las Vegas data is now in there. Including a Regional win for Moff Jerry!
This weekend has seen the Imperials closing the Rebel lead. Kinda like the Wave 2 season where it got closer between factions towards the end.
Also, with Jerry's win there are now 11 different winning admirals from 14 tournaments. That's very cool!

If I have 2 BCC, I'd be willing to reroll once to attempt a double, but the second BCC id usually save. Especially if its Bwings. Yavaris double tap even hit hit is gonna be 12 dmg. And more hit symbols than even an opening salvo ISD.
I would not use both bCC trying to get a black hit-crit. Though, if you land it, of course try for the blue crit, but still I'd avoid accidentally hitting an accuracy.
But yes of course with one die Tie Bombers, your correct play is to go for the hit-crit. But if you don't get it, they really can't nullify a hit result at close range.
Mathematically, This is the correct move for assured damage, no?

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to discuss this.
hat said, remember that with a blue-black bomber, getting Crit, Hit-Crit with Norra backing you up is actually 4 damage before brace when you factor in the critical effect. That's a huge difference. If MM rerolls one of those to a regular hit, that's still 3 damage including the shield from Norra, or 2 damage if it's further braced (which MC30s can't do, but still good for a AF2B).
Assured Damage is useful, but when you factor in the likely odds of getting a hit-crit on 3 black die rolls you're looking at around 50-50, with the chances of a blank die still only 25%. That's very good odds. If rolling blues with a black hit-crit, the "worst" result is an accuracy that can limit defensive options.
