Weekly strategy articles(looking for community input)

By TheUnsullied, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Thinking about starting a community guide of articles to discuss deployment and commands card so that we can get some brainstorming in. Nothing gets me going like some good old theorycrafting and strategy talk.

So my first question is what would people like to go over and discuss the ins and outs of more right now? Command cards or Deployment cards or maybe even for a few weeks focus on the tournament maps?

Second question is how should we go about organizing or trying to get through all this awesome content FFG has given us? Traits seem like an easy one to use for command cards. Waves for deployment cards? If it's deployment cards any preference on where we would like to start?

Thirdly is this something anyone would be even interested in? This won't be just my thoughts on the cards and figures(though I will add those as well) because we already have some great members of the community doing that(Boardwars.eu, Brett Kelley and Twin Troopers comes to mind) I want this to be a chance to discuss some of the thoughts the community has more than just a straight read me guide. If there's no interest I guess just don't comment and I'll keep my **** thoughts to myself.

Yes, please. I am happy to provide my 2 cents worth (shocking!). I think this is a great idea. I'm not on fakebook anymore, so this is my trolling bread and butter.

I expect to start playing with some new builds starting next Wednesday. I'd be happy to trial some of what the group comes up with. :D

I'd be interested in reading and asserting my opinions--it's the internet after all!

1. Yes.
2. Perhaps organise a topic? For example, ask all the contributors to make a command deck for a specific list. Then discuss similarities / differences.
3. Count me in if you're looking for contributors!

I'm hoping everyone will be a contributor. Like I said I'll more just be arranging topics and such.

I volunteer for your strike team.

Really want to do a deep dive of the new maps.

I actually think it would be fun to go through deployment cards by cost and not release. For example, when you compare the Grand Inquisitor to other 9 cost cards (including group cards), he's like the only one with just 1 action/way to do damage during an activation. It's more interesting to compare him to that than, say, Greedo and Obi-Wan (different costs, values, utilities, and factions). Just a thought.

And the order doesnt matter. I think it would be fun to go back and forth between deployments and command cards from different traits.

I'm newer on the forums but I have some thoughts on dcs and ccs, but im not really a maps analyzer so much.

I would be willing to contribute. I do believe I owe the internet a discussion of the combat roles of units, and Nal Hutta Swamps needs a major overhaul in its public perception.

I think it would be interesting to have the topics center on choices in list building (like what do you do with these 9 points, as mentioned above, or when to take Jabba over RCP, etc), strategies for maps, or ideas for how to make a Tier 2 or 3 unit (that is just awesome thematically) work competitively (support for that unit, strategy, etc).

Sounds like a cool idea!

Map discussion please. I'll do it myself if I have to. I also quite like talking about command cards, I think there's still a lot of mystery there for a lot of players.

I would love to contribute!
