strategic adviser + ackbar in place of Garm/GR 75?

Eh- ackbar actually doesn’t do much for this imo. You want to be charging at your target and setting up a double arc, meaning unless you slash it goes against what you want to be doing.

Also garm really helps those pickles, charging engine techs and allowing movement of shields as well as a long range reroll on each ship is pretty good stuff

Todays fact

74 players, of the 116 polled, report that they are not sure where there YV666 models are, with a further 9 not aware of what a yv666 is.

Ah, I know where mine are: traded away for more YT2400s.

Somebody sold me their 6 on eBay for a couple quid.

Do you consider this to be a contributing factor to why you arent going to worlds?

Certainly; I couldn’t afford the hotel after that spending.

Drop the GR75 for MCEF on all three + Ahsoka and, baby, you got a stew going.

Where’s my fact @Ginkapo

I predict that one of the top 2 fleets will include a bid of over 15 points.

Interesting you say that in the midst of further predictions attempting to make a mockery of this thread.

Todays fact:

The average distance travelled to worlds is 3 miles, though this data is heavily skewed by @Captain Weather 's attendence.

I'm at 1075 miles.

That’s rookie miles. 8,998 from here in Sydney to Minneapolis.

The actual furtherest travel you can do from a decent size city to Minneapolis is Perth, Australia.

Coincidentally I will not be attending this year. The aim is 2019!

It IS the Minnesota Regionals and all...

Isn't the average distance pretty skewed by the people who are staying the night in the Radisson already? That's got to be a few hundred feet at most.

As if any of us got in. I think there are 2 of the local regulars, and one of those only got in on second-round sales.

Well, I guess 3, but given what that he's the judge and all...

Fun fact - I watched 3 streamed games today, 2 live, one vassal. All 3 were raddus Vs Sloan... No predictions though eh...

Drop the Transport for a Strategic Advisor so you can also take Asoka, then you can convert your "worthless" tokens for pure speed.
