A quartet of Torpedo Frigates and a trio of GR-75s, the former loaded for bear, IIRC. I'll see if I can find a copy of the list

Ouch! Sounds pretty nasty.

I think its 3 decked out Mc30s and 4 flots. Caldias also runs it over in NC and is running it at Worlds. It's a pain.

Toronto crew is at 20points and 18, 18 after 2 games. I warned you guys!

Yeah but how are those Raptors doing?

That was my second guess. Either way, it's one of Ard's signature lists, a Mon Mothma one, and he runs it so much he knows it like the back of his hand. It's one of the only lists that performs against the [expletives redacted] Rieekan Ace-hole list.

EDIT: @Ardaedhel, where I can find the current version of that list anyway?

Right on. Caldias has been torturing me with his Mothma 30s for over a year now. If you can fly the 30s right, it's beastly. He single-handedly forced me to stop playing Assault Frigates.

I am most impressed at the showing of our good friend, Typo ..

He's a good dude. I enjoyed narrowly losing to him last year.

What does he put on the flotillas?

Hope.

He's altered it so many times now I honestly can't keep up. I want to say at least one are two are naked. Just activation padding. And by He I just mean, Caldias. I don't know Ard's fleet, but my understanding was they are very similar.

Admiral Table Bump in the top 10!

Pulling for JJ, Typo, Caldias, wild man Billy (my team tournament partner from last year), and Reinholt! Go get em my dudes!

At various points I believe Comms Net, Mothma, Bright Hope, Quantum Storm, Slicer Tools and nothing at all have all seen play. They're mostly there for activations. If anything else is there, it's usually from spare points after he's satisfied with the bid.

I counted 4 Tokens.

2 Tokens on the Playfield, and 2 by JJ's corner deployment zone (stacked).

And a Red Objective Card visible at the bottom of the picture.

I think this was mid-deployment, so I think the "Ship off the side" hasn't been Deployed yet.

I mean, I was hardly there, so I might be totally wrong, but that's how my image analysis runs, anway

Good catch! I totally missed the stacked tokens.

Looking closer, I think I know that guppy paint scheme. I can't place the player name to it though.

I played Ard this past week, against his Worlds list. He had slicer tools on two flotillas, one of which was Quantum Storm. I think the third was naked. I'm not sure if he kept the slicers as he wasn't quite satisfied with their performance...

I'm rooting for Roquax, my team tourney partner last year. Go Carlo!!!!

That's it for day 1! 2 Rounds of swiss and 2 Rounds of eliminations tomorrow!

Edit: Ben Pond keeps the top 4 "Classy"

He played against a rieekan pelta yavaris triple transport list and a loss was a close one. (if his isd survived extra round he had a good chance of tabling his opponent imho)

Yowch. He has my sympathies.

Cough, where have I heard of this being a good archetype before...

Okay. I'm done being a pita.

Keep the updates coming! This is fun!

It was a very close game with JJ round 2 I had Wedge left to activate after the ISD died and that was it.

Yesss. Go Benjamin (as long as you're running that yavaris pelta list). Otherwise dirty traitor...

Lol, indeed I am.

The entire Bay Area is simultaneously rooting for and utterly loathing Ben Pond right now.

Anyone know roughly what Nathan, Everett and Norm are running?

JJ's list looks very similar to the one he ran in the win in the Vassal World Cup...

Vader?

That would be surprising. That list has Jerjerrod. Or at least it used to. For the life of me I can't imagine how Vader would fit - not enough points, not bendy enough.

The hate flows through me tonight more than the light. Raaaage.

(Good data is great though. thanks.)

One mistake there, I had a 10-1 win vs jaren voss transposed to a 1-10 loss they are supposed to fix, so should be me in the #15 spot with 21/715 mov. Big comeback with 2 10-1 wins after a 1-10 drubbing by (I think) Typo from the Toronto crew
