Store Championships august 12 & 13

By Baltanok, in Star Wars: Armada

In these latter days of the Law ... wait, no, that's a different saga from a long, long time ago & a place far, far away...

Help me, armada players, you're my only hope! Bring me your fleet lists & battle results for this weekend's store championships, and you will be rewarded with, well, a more complete spreadsheet. (It's not exactly more data than I can imagine, but I'll take what I can get)

Also, I've started putting in the Wave 6-only fleet composition tab. Currently only the base population is in, but hopefully I'll get winners & maybe bottom quarter in tonight.

People like you are doing the lords work, thanks for your work.

I've got a SC today at Gabi's Olympic cards and comics. I think there will roughly be around 10-12 players with some coming up from Oregon. May be a big turn out for my FLGS

I was using a list of Konstantine with 4x VSD I with Quad Batterie Turret (plus a mix of tools of boarding troopers and expernal racks) and 2x Gozanti with Comms Net as Bye opponent. Just a list without squadrons, so it will be fast.
My (bye) opponents were the 5th, 4th and 3rd.
Interesting that i won all 3 games. Even against these heavy squadron lists. The 4 VSD are just beasts. But it is for sure no good list for tournaments. You cannot win high with it. One would have been a 6-5, one a 7-4 and the last a 10-1.

IBuyWargames in Woking, UK. I managed second, just needed to not lose the third round horribly to win, but I did. Unfortunately I didn't get the full details of the Imperial Fleet (I didn't play it - three games, all against MC80As...).

Activations seemed to be the key thing. Also TIL an MC80 Assault Cruiser with Ackbar, Defiance, Most Wanted, Concentrate Firepower and XI7s can one-shot an MC30 even with Foresight, Mon Mothma and ECMs. That hurt.

I have the Fleet lists of the 7 players who attended the SoCal Games & Comics Store Championship in Temecula, CA on 8/12. I'll post them here later today/tomorrow.

The winner and the 3rd Place finisher (who defeated me narrowly in the 2nd round with a 6-5) both brought lists with 4 Hammerheads. I initially had planned to gun for 1st player (b/c Avenger), but while talking with my friend as we carpooled from home I realized that a 9 pt bid (I originally didn't include Disp. Capacitors x2) was going to be insufficient. Instead of pulling a squadron to decrease my bid, I just leaned into being second player and added the capacitors. Turned out to be a good move because 4 of the 7 players had a bid of 13 and my friend's bid was 16. But turns out dual External Rack Raiders make a good double threat. And I was able to fire off BT Avenger vs a Warlord VSD, a Hammerhead, and another ISD in games 1, 2, and 3, killing each. So 2nd player worked almost as well.

I came in 2nd Place with this list:

Added Round 2 link

won my SC with with 25 points went i believe 9-2, 9-2 and 7-4.

I had two mc80 star cruisers, with gunney team, xx9, engine techs, and leading shots, two gr75 with hangers, 4 x wings, 2 a wings, and 2 y wings right at 400.

1st list was both named glads, a gonzti and a quaser. He picked fleet ambush and glad where gone by round two. And his last ship by four. But cost me a mc80.

2nd list was a kitted out ISD, a quaser and a boat load of ties. Lost all my squadron, a gr 75 but the ISD got sandwich between the two mc80. The quaser drew a unluckycrit that let me drop it to zero speed. The ISD was harder with RBD and repair token via trakin with a dial. But got it.. objective was contested outpost. Believe it was 420 to 183.

Third was a motti ISD avenger, sniper VSD build and a quaser. With objective of defend the station. Was not looking forward to this match. But thankfully i was very lucklyon my flying and placement as i avoid to nasty rams that could of lead to the death of my ship. Managed to take out both station and keep my ships alive. Never really fired on his ISD. Strip the shield on his VSD. And gave the quaser enought face up dmg. Had 4 dmg card, and took a dmg for revealing a dail, and speed greater then 1. And he had no shields.

Only think is the mc80 hit hard if flying in support and can focus fire. But they tend to melt pretty quick.

PS. With dodanna i managed to burn though two dmg decks out of the 3 games.

Wow, what are the odds that someone else would fly devastator?

Seriously though, congratulations on the win!

I'm pretty sure TIE Adv Ace was Zertik Storm (red dice guy). ISD was Relentless with ECM and can't remember what else. But no Gunnery Teams.

Red obj was Advanced Gunnery, yellow was Contested Outpost.
