Waterloo Regionals

By Ginkapo, in Star Wars: Armada

Were there any massed squadron lists for either faction at this regional? Very surprised to see less than the squadron cap across the entire top 3.

Yeah, I was vs a Yavaris my first round. I don't tend to have much trouble vs massed bombers with QLTs, overlapping AA, and Mauler.

Lord Preyer was (I think) 7th so can provide his exact list but it was Standard ISD2, Standard Demo, Gozanti, Maarek, 2 Defenders, Zertik, Jumpmaster annd 1 other.

I didn't see lots of large bomber lists out there (probably a factor why a Cracken list was successful) but a reasonable amount of Anti Squadron fighters. Fear of heavy Anti squadron balls was certainly a factor in my decision not to bring the Yavaris MC80CC, 2GR75s (Toryn +BCC), 4B, 2Y, 3YT1300, Jan fleet that I've played a lot recently.

Ginkapo has one of the heaviest squadron balls I saw but it was a fairly mixed Rieeken aces.

Thats a fair view on it.

There was Q1 tourny a week earlier with 75% of the lists either heavy bomber, or heavy anti squadron.

Due to the number of people who went to both, I think that definitely had an impact in fleet builds.

I brought the exact same Cracken list which won me the tourney a week earlier. Rogue and Rhymer is a threat, but simply bomber heavy... not a real issue.

I've run an almost identical Cracken list before (beat TheCallum's list with it) but bombers scare me too much to run it in a tournament. Been taken apart by a Fireball a couple of times pre-Cracken when I ran it as Rieeken. Rebel Bombers with FCT, Yavaris and a Pelta cause almost as much fear.

Oh, so here's that thread! And I was looking in Organized Play sub-forum. I regret I haven't seen it before, because I would be able to match some forum nicknames to real faces. Maybe now I'll be able to do it!

It was actually 3 of us on 22 points, none had 23.

Very true mate....apologies if I missed you out and got the details wrong.

Very close tournament decided by MOV between 3 players!!!

Thanks for the lists that have been posted!

if you were there, please post yours as well. It's always good to have more data.

I know that you're all dying to see the list that came in 23rd, so here it is.

A healthy dose of user error creating opportunities that were well capitalised on by my opponents kept me on table 12 all day!

Sato Scouts & Pelta (400/400)
==================================
MC30c Scout Frigate (69 + 14)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ Reinforced Blast Doors (5)
+ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
MC30c Scout Frigate (69 + 14)
+ Ordnance Experts (4)
+ Reinforced Blast Doors (5)
+ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
Modified Pelta-class Assault Ship (56 + 25)
+ Raymus Antilles (7)
+ Entrapment Formation! (5)
+ Engine Techs (8)
+ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 32)
+ Commander Sato (32)
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 4)
+ Comms Net (2)
+ Bright Hope (2)
Tycho Celchu (16)
2 x VCX-100 Freighter (15)
2 x HWK-290 (12)
A-wing Squadron (11)

My list was already posted, but I would like to say that it was nothing new and original. Although it was very tempting to bring yet another bomber list with all new and shiny Wave 5 and CC squadrons I just couldn't get anything satisfying from fleet builder. Also I have got Liberty recently and I thought it should be nice to play sth different this time. I had no time to test any builds so I have used other's experience and decided to use slightly modified Vergilius fleet from this thread:

I only decided that I don't care about being first or second so I have added H9 to Admonition and upgraded one A Wing to Shara. Also I've changed objectives to Planetary Ion Cannon and Solar Corona (I left Most Wanted).

Have anyone seen any bomber lists during tournament? I 'm curious if I was lucky that I haven't met any or was there no bomber list at all?

I was 11th or 12th, not sure.

In hindsight. The Pelta is tough enough to be a flagship, wasnt sure before. Which means I could drop the Rieekan Nebulon for Cr90B with engine techs and reinforced blast doors plus a BCC flotilla. Makes it a much better fleet.

Thanks for posting.

Which Admiral did you use?

That's just under half the fleet lists. Thanks for sharing what you took!

Thanks again.

Most helpful at this point would be tracking down the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 8th place fleets.

I know 4th place but I'm not sure he's a forum member. I'll get him to post or post his list for him.

Edit: Here it is. Also, he's sending this link over to the player who was 8th to post his list.

Does anyone know if there is a chance to get all fleet list from Tournament Organizer?

Doubt it. They werent happy about giving out lists without approval from each individual player

Since I don't think anyone was asked specifically if they were happy to have their list shared, maybe it should be a check-box on a proforma for each tournament? That would really help with data collection.
