Asteroid placement.

Are there any articles around on asteroid placement? I feel it's often something I mess up when playing, but I'm struggling to find any articles on placement tactics for different list types.

Had it nailed when I flew swarms, but feel a bit more lost with it now.

Thoughts/advice?

Here is a very intersting article about asteroid placement (Turn zero) from 3 times world (and now Open series) champ Paul Heaver. I really recommend it.

Here are two videos about the asteroid placement I also recommend (first one is based Paul Heavers article):

Aha, knew I read something ages ago. Does it still hold well for current lists. It was written a fair while ago.

Look at the first video link. Discussions for the jumpmaster era included. So still effective

When it comes to articles about asteroid placement it is probably easiest to find them back when the game was still new so that was one of the areas to talk about. After all of it was out there everything else is just rehashing it.
