17 hours ago, Don Henderson fan club said:I dare say the Interdictor helped, but it was probably the Sloane/aces ball (and maybe even the player!) that really took the regional.
Well done, either way!
The point being we’ve seen that squadron build with an ISD plenty of times. This looks more like a hard counter to that option. Great stuff
12 hours ago, V0RN said:No one is more surprised than me that I took the top spot yesterday in NC Regionals. What started as a bet with Jeff Hincy to run the Interdictor seems to have worked pretty well. I listed the build below for those interested. First round was 10-1 against Dodonna/Liberty/Garel's Honor/Token Squads, Round 2 was 7-4 against JJ/Vic/Demo/Moderate Squads, Round 3 was 8-3 against Dodonna/MC-75/MC-30/Moderate Squads, Round 4 was 8-3 against Sloane/ISD2/3xGoz/Heavy Squads and the top cut was a win against Vader/2xCymoon/Moderate Squads. I don't remember all the flotillas in the lists I faced but those where the main ships.
Love unique lists like this, I always root for them. Good work! Bold bid too.
15 hours ago, V0RN said:I was first in every game except for the one vs the MC75/MC30 as the other player had a 23 bid.
Did you face any fleets using DCOs?
Edited by Don Henderson fan clubStockton on Tees Regional was fun yesterday. I bagged 8th with doddona and B-wings. I got the dice so I'm happy!
@Mad Cat bagged 1st (finally) with Riekeen, and has a copy of all the lists for the event.

@Mad Cat please PM to myself or Baltanok. Pictures of the lists, so long as I comes with a picture of the final standings, works fine.

No, but I think DCO is going to be used more with all the new crit effects. Unfortunately it takes that much sought after officer slot.
I love DCO but man is it finicky. In my practice games for regionals I got whooped on by a lot of APT spam lists. So I brought DCO in my final list. Then I played 4 people without a single unique crit effect.
But the potential to shut down a big crit blast could still be crucial in some games!
Its basically a 1+3 that we see done with Star Destroyers, but more oriented toward defense. Squads do more work than the Interdictor. Its strength is that BTA has a hard time killing it with all the defensive tech.

@Truthiness Here are the top 8 Lists...
Is that almost all squad heavy in the top 8?
It looks like 93 was the lowest squad pts from the top 8, at #8. Very squad heavy meta there.

Not quite, I spell it the proper way, Calum rather than Callum 
Congrat again on the result, 29 is **** near uncatchable!
Hadn't realised how few people were bidding for first or second player in those top tables! I know some of our guys came down with hefty bids, but it seems that there's more to it than that now that Wave 7 is here.
Good to see Rieekan on top again

Corrected that for you. It was 1:30am when I got bored of typing. I'll add the rest of the lists this evening.
I suppose the new Strategic adviser gives people a little more security against being out activated and then Last/First hit over a turn break. Having said that I didn't take one as I couldn't free up the points and didn't want Adar Tallon on a flotilla. I used to play 400/400 but recently ditched bright hope to get a 2 point bid and it got me first player choice twice at the event. I like going first but won't bid much to do so.

Good stuff, thanks!
Agreed on not bidding too much. The list I ran there I'd been running about a 10-15pt bid in previous versions. But then if someone wants to go first more than you do, they'll bid more, and there were improvements I could make using those points. Last weekend in Stirling I had a 4pt bid and got 1st player on all 3 games (can't recall if that was my choice, or if anyone had given me 1st at any point). If there's nothing left to cut from the list and the objectives are fine for you then I'd normally rather get all the upgrades I want into the list and deal with first or second player once it happens.

Thanks for posting the lists. When you have a second, can you recheck list #7? I seem to be missing a 4 point upgrade.
As the lowest squad value for stockton in the top 8, I will admit I was struggling to fit more in but didn't know what to drop.
@Jammers in 10th took a squad free build and I think was a few tiny mistake off top 8.

OK, all entered, but could you check the lists above? I'm missing:
List #11 - 2 pts
List #15 - 5pts
List #17 - 3 pts
May be a math error from the list owners. nothings jumping out at me.
Thanks again for getting the lists typed up!
Logically, list 15 should have Yavaris.

Corrections made.
List 11, It wasn't Comms Net but actually Boosted Comms on the flotilla.
List 15, @elbmc1969 was right (He sees into the future, it's an old Jedi trick), the Nebulon was Yavaris.
List 17 Missed out Liea on the Flotilla.
