So here we are on a sunny day in the pleasant lands of England. Cup of tea in my hand and 87% battery.
Ben is first player with a Motti ISD I, 4 Gozanti, Rhymer 5 Bombers 5 Fighters 2 Jumps.
He is playing Dangerous territory against Alex's Ackbar MC80 200pt monster and 5 Cr90Bs.
Standard Dangerous Tert obsticlesin two lines of three. Ben deploys a gozanti and follows up with tie fighter delay. Alex spreads corvettes across the board.
Info Commercial.
NebB is running commentary on Aresius vs Tokra here
Interesting point. Ben deploys his ship card boards behind each ship as he deploys. Avoids getting confused I assume.
Mc80 drops in the middle.
ISD far out to my left.
First activations bank nav tokens and claim obstacles.
Ruptured Engine
Point Defence Reroute
And a Debris field face down for Ben
RHYMERS OFF 4 to come with ISD and 1 gozanti still to go.
3 shields gone on a Corvette
End of Turn 1
I really wonder what @Dr alex tactic is. I hope that he does well. He has the most interesting fleet of the top four!

Yesterday they played his advanced gunnery. He put it on a corvette then rammed everything tabling Ben.
Do these cr90 have ET?
ISD and 1 Gozanti worth of squads take out a corvette.
However...
Ben has no relay and his squads are far out left away from the corvettes.
Alex kills his first flotilla with an Ackbared CF B.

They have nothing other than the love of Ackbar. And 4 hull.
End of turn 2
Edited by GinkapoTop of turn 3. Goz and ISD squads clear out another corvette.
Other three corvettes are now shielded by the 80 so it depends what Alex can claw back over the rest of the game now.

That's a lot to claw back, especially out of a mostly flotilla/squadron fleet!
I think the Rebel player seems to have hooked most of his forces far too wide. Could be a good play on the Imperial's behalf to show discretion as the better part of valour!

Deployment advantage in action.
The corvettes are turning back into the fight.
I dont think the ISD can avoid the enhanced armament ackbar defiance. It has killed the ISD before.

No doubt - that's just how it goes.
Could be interesting. It's hard to eyeball distance just with angles, if the ISD can speed up and turn it should be able to slip away. If it slips the net I'd be very surprised if the Imperial loses the match.
If it can't, well then things could be interesting.
End of turn 3
The concensus is that there will be six ackbar shots on the ISD, 2 from Defiance.
No upgrades on the ISD other than Motti. Will it be enough?

Gozanti at speed 3 finishes within cm of the board edge. Probably off next turn. Doesnt really matter.
Tie Fighters starting to wilt.
Mc80 moves early at sits in the ISD front arc. Think this is a mistake. 2 corvettes not yet activated.
1 ISD and 1 corvette to go.
Jumpmaster kills the "spare" distraction corvette. 2 corvettes remain for the ISD to take pain from.
