Fleet Patrols change number of rounds and round length.

All other tournament rules apply.

This includes the rules on having to use only officiak FFG components.

?

@BiggsIRL, use Sloane and Phantoms to see if the internet is actually right about something or if they work decently!

Well in that case

@BiggsIRL how about a fleet of flotillas with repair crews and a small ship as the flagship?

Quarterly Kit Fleet Patrols are Casual, not casual.

Also I already told a guy he wasn't allowed to proxy a Cymoon.

Looks hilarious, squall and Lambdas is a test worth doing. Its not often good, but its interesting to see in action as sometimes its sensational.

Oh, hey, Squall would work with Lambdas.

That might make a game time swap.

Mine is Squall with Triple Lambda, Valen, Saber and Mauler. Its odd (and more expensive than your variant)

I also thought about double Grav Wells and Blockade Run. AKA: Give me a 6-5 (0-0) win as 2nd player.

I pop Speed 0 tokens in the front row of my enemy's deployment zone. I start all my ships at the waaaaaay back of my deployment zone.

That's not fun, and it won't win me anything... but I could say "this is what will happen if you pick Blockade Run, pick something else if you want a chance at points."

Second player needs to get into first players deployment zone in blockade run, you are thinking of Hyperlane Raid

Huh, I thought Grav Wells were unique to prevent that - but apparently not! Just the Grav Shift and G8.

Looks like a fun list to try. It will be super difficult for a black dice fleet to smash this due to the sheer embuggerence factor of 2 targeting scramblers.

NK-7s is an upgrade I haven’t seen in a while too! Up there with Isard.

To score points, yes. Biggs, however, is taking about a 0-0 game. Blockade Run only gives points to the first player for destroying ships.

He doesn't lose anything by not getting across. It's just a 0 MoV 6-5 to P2.

Also assumes you're not facing something fast across the table. I've had someone try this against my MC30 swarm. I still had plenty of time to blow up an Interdictor. TRC90's probably have time to get both. You can also get combat ships up to speed 2 right off the bat with token-generation support, so... Not foolproof.

Speaking of Drunkles, sounds like Biggs is at 1 tournament point coming out of Round 1. So, well-played @GiledPallaeon. I hope you're proud of yourself.

I mean, it's a Fleet Patrol. I was expecting a Vic (or two) also.

7 points, 1-1.

Ugh.

I hate everything.

Don't hate on double Dictors. Hate the rest of the list instead :)

Dude, if I was him I'd be trying to hide and/or forget that list as much as possible.

Just like... go to the last written article. I guess I could have linked it.
