Hey

I didn’t see the spot for the regional info for this weekend from MacNarb in Gautier, MS.

If anyone here is going or already there please be kind and rewind....wait now I’m showing my age who uses VHS unless your me watching Star Wars.

Ok back on track if you could share results and lists here that would be great.

@Baltanok

I cant see any posts about this one, so have no idea who the TO will be.

@CaribbeanNinja and I are here, so we should be able to get them.

Thanks folks! Helping my dog recover from ACL surgery, so a little distracted right now.

A couple folks from northern Alabama (including myself) will also be there to remind those 2 if need be!

Don’t worry the community has your back.

Well, the community is pretty darn awesome, so that's not surprising... But I appreciate it anyway. ?

Congrats to @Jahangeer358 for the win!

I’ve got the lists and will post them tomorrow.

A great tourney with a good mix of commanders and fleets.

The champ’s list was Rieekan. GH Yavaris and three flotillas.

Aces in the holes.

It was on loan to another player, and was back on my tray for ease of transport.

@Jahangeer358 Congrats on the win. I say this with the heartwarming thought that now I don't have to play it again for a few months .

Congrats @Jahangeer358 I knew you had it in you!

Lists like this are why I don't feel bad theorycrafting Ackbar lists with two shooters, only one clearly works.

Lists like that are why I'm warming to flotillas not counting for tabling.

Yeah that's a lot of flotillas.... What are the best ways to counter that? I do think flotillas shouldn't count for tabling purposes. That seems like a minimally intrusive rule that could address the problem without changing the core game too much.

So how would you best approach that list? My honest thought is to just pick Fire Lanes, put your whole fleet down at max speed, and rush it. It can only really get one huge shot off per turn, and chances are you can facetank at least one shot with your scariest ship. And it can only blow up one ship per turn. If your entire fleet flies at it full speed and lays into it, surely it can't be immortal? Then you pretty much freely clean up the rest of the Fire Lanes tokens for the rest of the game?

Or do you pick AG and turtle up, trying to slap one flotilla and never force an engagement?

Kill the Whale OR kill its friends. Never both.

I like ramming the feckers

Shoot the whale, ram the flots. Kill them all. Leave no survivors.

*Note: I'm being hyperbolically silly. That list works because it is so hard to approach that MC80 and the flotilla are able to hide in the shadow of its impressive long range firepower.
