Soooo, I have a Regional coming up and my practice time has been minimal. I've run and won some with QD/Nus and just before that was running a Bumpmaster/2Loks. I am definitely afraid of the Boogie Man Ghost/Fenn and am currently 0-2 with QD/Nus against a similar Kanan/Fenn. With all that in mind, I have consider this:

No.

Scurrg H-6 BOMBER

But seriously I would try and fit Bomblet and trajectory as least on Nym, otherwise Boba Fett should just ride on Nym with Guidance Chips. You aren't getting much from the Havoc title on that Nym. Maybe drop Torani down to Dalan.

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Trajectory Simulator (1)
"Genius" (0)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
Havoc (0)

Dalan Oberos (Kimogila) (25)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Guidance Chips (0)

Contracted Scout (25)
A Score to Settle (0)
Boba Fett (1)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

Total: 100

Trajectory + a Harpoon is so gross that its just a crime not to run it on Nym.

If your list can get the TLT off with Boba, then I'd say you have a chance, but you might be too far back in the damage race by then for it to matter. Nym has no way to mod his dice except by tokens, so Fenn will use his ability on him. First round of combat, Nym will do no damage. If you decide to shoot the harpoon, statistically you'll roll hit, hit, blank, focus. The Ghost will sensor jammer one of the hits to a focus, and then he'll spend the evade. No damage. Fenn will shoot turani and will strip him of his focus. He'll shoot his harpoon, and roll hit, hit, focus, blank. One hit will become a focus, and He'll reroll the blank, and because of Glitterstim, he should get 4 hits. Ok, 4 shields off of the ghost. If the Jumpmaster chooses the Ghost for ASTS, he'll get past the sensor jammer, but he's also giving the ghost the possibility of 4 free mods a turn with the TLT. Ouch. The Ghost will TLT Nym for 4 damage, no questions asked.

Your list isn't bad at all, the problem is the Ghost-Fenn is basically a giant Omega Leader that works on the entire list. You've got to find ways to get past Fenn's ability, or you have to kill Fenn almost instantly. If you have Torani shoot his harpoon on Fenn (and Nym threatening as well), you might kill him round 1, and now we've got a game. Good luck!

I was thinking about going all in on a TLT killer myself:

Mandalorian Mercenary - A Score To Settle, Slave 1, Boba Fett, Long Range Scanners - 36
Cartel Executioner - Crackshot, Harpoon Missiles, Extra Munitions, Unhinged Astromech, Guidance Chips x 2

It won't like alphastrikers, but it shoots before the Lothal Rebel at least. And those Harpoons will hit and hurt.

Play what you know well and enjoy flying. You “may” encounter Casper the Coordinated Ghost, but you will likely encounter many other things. With all the talk in the forums, I was surprised by how few players brought this new hotness to the Seattle regional.

Don’t join.

Agreed.

If you want to win the whole tourney, you probably have to face a Kanan/Fenn - maybe. If you want to make the cut, there is a good chance you don't see Kanan/Fenn in swiss. My brother practiced and practiced against Kanan/Fenn. He was 9-0 in practice matches. During regionals he was 4-1 and there were about 3 or 4 Kanan/Fenns he could have went up against in the last round, and he got Asajj/Bossk instead and loss. Never faced Kanan/Fenn. There were a ton of Kanan/Fenns and only 1 made top 8.

I like the the ASTS scout + Boba in almost all matchups, as it puts pressure on lists to take it out, leaving your 1 agility ships alone. And its a nice counter to Kanan/Fenn. Your other two ships should just be whatever you want. I think taking EM and Glitter out and placing trajectory + bomblet is a better play.

GUNBOAT.

The answer is always GUNBOAT.

Those who said Gunboat were right. I took the QD Nus to Regionals and went 5-1 in Swiss, losing in top 16. The losses were my own mistakes and I genuinely feel I could've taken it further.

As far as Ghost/Fenn goes, only saw one and beat it 100-0. Tight rocks and restricted pathing allowed for controlled engagement with some Slam bumps.

Thanks for the insight guys. (I wouldn't have necro'd this thread, but the forums are dead lately and this thread was still only on page 2 after 3 days as of this post).

A similar to this (Jostero instead of scout) almost won the while thing in Michigan, I think. It lost to Ghost-Fenn, but anybody who watched that game knows it was imminently winnable by the Scum player. Several significant triggers were forgotten, along with some variance going against him. The harpoon onslaught in not a joke.

Yeah, Tristans list is a nasty alpha. Basically a PS10 alpha because josteros ability triggers after that second harpoon or toranis bullseye ability. Then jostero still gets his normal attack.

And its even worse if they were in bomb range. ?

Im doing a slight variant of it (abt instead of em and bomblets instead of thermals).
