I debated GH, but it felt too dirty to do. It would also have required throwing the AF in the fray a bit more, which would have meant probably lifeboating instead.

Run it with Cracken. Oh its so dirty. Feels so gloriously dirty.

Why are Rebels bidding so hard? 21 points, 19, 18, n 16.

Stop breaking the social norm. Only Demo lists get to bid that hard.

Game's changed a bit. At GenCon, sure enough I got paired against the guy with 22 points at one point. Last torunamnet, somebody beat me by a point. Then scared him (by list design) into giving me first anyway :P

"List design" being a euphemism for "exclaiming what a nice knee he's got there and expressing regret at the mere possibility something would come along and adversely effect its structural integrity"

Like... taking an arrow to the knee?

@Drasnighta I seem to have messed up re. the FAQ. Can you please disregard my incoherent ramblings and restore it to pre-****** status?

So...you wanna know who the lucky guy that meets @JJs Juggernaut is?

Sloane has been restored to the original and first ruling on the matter. In which if Sloane spends the Token, it counts as spent, and thus, you cannot also spend said token during the attack.

Which is a restoration to the point it has been for all but 12 hours of the past few weeks...

I'm just rewriting it completely at the moment.

@Tokra is the only regular Tarkin player I know. And I'm the only Vader player (once I took Sato, and he did pretty well).

I did my share of Vader during regionals :) And I do have Tarkin and Konstantine lists, almost ran Tarkin in this tourney but ended up being out of points.

Round 1 matchups.

Round 1 doesn't really start unitl the 8th of May (because of Worlds), but feel free to run your games whenever.

I would have had a Sato list, too. But, y'know, me and time don't agree, leaste of which is over vassal..

Note to self: make 3.7.1 available; we have 2 Leia players.

I like the hybridness of @Dr alex's build. Very interested to see how that does.

Going on my past vassal tournament experience, badly

To be honest, this is the first tournament where i am not playing Tarkin :D.
Just to test out Sloane. I have the feeling she might be really good, and is a bit underestimated so far.

No rush. I mean, there's only two of us....

AND YOU MATCHED US UP AGAINST EACH OTHER.

I think we'll remember who our admiral is. ;)

Came here to say this! I assume it's so everyone can watch and see how Leia fares against herself.

Yavaris Peltas Vs. Handbrake Corvettes. It's gonna be interesting!

I have a feeling that she'll be terrifyingly devastating and every list I built had her in mind as a stress-test.

Sigh. I'll use X17s instead of CRambo90s then.

Why didnt I listen to myself? Building against one fleet seemed silly.

Till I drew it. Atta Biggs

That's my "Must See" match-up of the First Round.

Underestimated? Are there people who don't think she's good?

Apparently...

.... in which case:

SHUN. SHUN THE NON-BELIEVERS!

Yay Noobie vs World Champ. I guess it's time for a learning experience!

So many fleets! So many crazy builds! This is going to be awesome!

btw MrScience has a fleet in the spreadsheet, but no matchup.
