Vassal Autumn tourney spreadsheet.
Keys: 6 activations, Yavaris and Adar.
Gives. Corran tremendous flexibility.

Eh. She's generally good for one extra damage on an MC30. What she really does is force down one shield facing of your choosing, which is great if you have a big ship shot following up into that arc. I very rarely see a Rebel list with both a Norra-enhanced bomber ball and a big XI7 follow-up shot into that same arc, though.

Admo isn't worried too much about him, but your other MC30s...

As I stated elsewhere:
Anyone really interested to truly learn and try will find it ?
It's a little sad that even in a forum topic about strong Imperial lists - it's the Rebels that have multiple showings and unequivocally the best tourney record.
I just want parity. It would be nice to go into a tourney as an Imp, not knowing that this decision alone drops my chances. 
That being said, I have faced Brick's GH/Yavaris list and while it is a great list - he flies it with practiced precision.

Sure, if you consider a bunch of traitorous terrorists ****-bent on reinstating an oppressive theocratic government through any means the good guys.
I've had pretty good success with my list at both Gencon and my Regional, especially considering how scrubby I am at this game.
Most Wanted, Contested Outpost, Solar Corona
ISD2 w/ Jerry, GT, ECM, LS, XI7, Avenger
GSD1 w/ OE, ET, APT, Demo
Raider1 w/ ER
Gozanti w/ Jamming
Gozanti w/ Comms
HR
TIE/ln x4
400pts
I'd probably say it's T2 because it's not a "zomg zerg" type list, but I find it has a really good response to almost anything out there (except of Jeff Berling's Nationals winning list). Having the Demo means people don't really want you going first. Having 5 activations including a fat ISD means people don't want you going second. The TIEs will lose any squadron fight, but the Jamming Field is there to slow the bleeding - the goal is not to win, it's to tie up their points and strategy for as long as possible. If it's a super heavy squadron list, the Raider's double black flak can swoop in to help thin out the numbers so the TIEs can continue to occupy the squads. Otherwise, the Raider can get really good use out of a single pop of external racks, preferably coupled with a CF dial and double arc for 9 dice. I typically place him on the inside track of the ISD to make anyone suffer for trying to get out of the front arc. I set the Demo up on the far side and go around speed 3+boost for awhile to get around and do Demo things. All the while I don't try to be sneaky with the ISD - everyone knows exactly where it's going.
What I find is that people get caught off guard though with the Demo early on from Jerry - nothing like double clicking that first joint, using a nav dial to double click that second, and then zoom in at speed 3 to attack the broadside at close range, then boost to line up the double arc for the next turn. Likewise they seem to get caught off guard around turn 5-6 when the ISD does a 90degree turn and keeps their ship that's trying to run away in the front arc at close range. It does likely mean that the ship will be activated first and might get to long range, but typically those 4 reds are enough to finish it off anyways. The only thing I really don't like seeing is a flotilla heavy fleet as I can't out activate them and I struggle to consistently kill them (the Raider is okay at it, but isn't the best at getting into close range unless he gives me player 1).

Well, I wouldn’t call it oppressive.
Certainly ineffectual and bloated. Tedious and ponderous...
But a certain amount of “glass house” vs “stones” needs to be considered when it comes to calling the republic oppressive...

Of course a guy who has a workshop full of enslaved elves would support a government that sanctioned the use of a slave army.

You really thinks so? Then their fiendish propaganda has gooten to you already. Its too late to save you.

Just because you think you won doesn't make you the "good guys." Mao Zedong, Genghis Khan, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and Ho Chi Minh were all winners. That doesn't make them "good guys."

History is written by the victors. I’m sure the rebels made all the history books say they were heroes. There’s a coup,e of interesting chapters in the star wars essential guide to warfare that are from the imperial perspective.

On a related note, I think there was SOME star wars comic back in the day where Ewoks were like bloodthirsty cannibals. Not my fault Imperial Storm troopers taste like chicken.

I can't really hold a grudge against the Ewoks. They were simply pawns that the conscienceless Rebels used trickery to dupe into believing a false god. And human flesh tastes like pork, not chicken.

Well since you won't clarify I'll just assume that by "worst" you mean best and that it just hurts your rebel sensibilities to call me that.
Thank you for the compliment.
20 hours ago, Ardaedhel said:I think you're underestimating the power of Sloane rerolling crits. You have like a 90-95% chance of getting a useful effect out of each of those squadrons' shots. The scatters--along with judicious flying--protect from flak quite effectively.
Yes, their direct damage output is less than a bomber's, but 1) ALL of your extremely specialized antisquadron wing is now also effective against ships, and 2) don't underestimate the indirect damage dealt by exhausting a brace/evade/scatter before an Avenger shot.
This is exactly why I fear heavy squad Sloane lists (and cant imagine why anyone running Sloane wouldn't take as many blue-AS squads as possible, flavor to style) - you ARE going to do 1 damage or flip a token. An ISD will give you 4-5 chances to do that and has the added benefit of being a damnable ISD. At best my Rebel lists against well played Sloane lists I've won 6-5.
