I'm back again from the timezone of the future to bring a handy summary of all the Top 5 action coming out of Day 1B.
If anybody has access to Rikki P's list, now would be a great time!

Lack of squadrons in the third place fleet has to be highlighted.
If this was a five round tournament it may well have made that cut.

Im pretty confident I mentioned it’s lack of squads but agreed, or even better taking a cut of the Top 4 from each day.

You did, I meant further highlighted over here!
Great stuff on both of your reports CW - pretty sure Rikki had a hammerhead as well as what you've posted (think Vergilius mentions it in the 1b thread)
yeah Rikki has a Pelta, Yavaris, HH and two GR75s.
2 VCX, YT1300, Jan, 2 Ys( not sure which) and 2 Bs (not sure which)
Rieekan on the Loaded Pelta with Adar. HH has Eracks. I think Yavaris only has flight commander.

point of emphasis is that his game was a couple of decisions away from swinging wildly the other way. It does make me wonder how many total games came down to one or two decisions.

More than we'd think, I'd wager. I lost a close game at the Denver Regionals when I went left to attempt to cut off the MC80 instead of cutting right to engage the other portion of his fleet. It wasn't immediately apparent, but I lost 5-6 as soon as I turned both of my 75s one way instead of the other. I go the other way, I likely could have destroyed the rest of his fleet without much trouble but I underestimated how difficult a MC80 Command w/Engine Techs would be to pin down.
Awesome write up!
Thanks for Rikki's list - I've updated the post to reflect the new intel!

You're up early, skipper. You ready for some finals?

I'm ready son - it's a once in a year event, Sunday is for recovery!
Great write up. I was 3rd with Raddus MC80 Liberty fleet. It works against squadron heavy list by hitting hard and fast, hit and run. Squadrons get one round to hit the MC80 most of the time. Talking of Team Canada, my final game was against Carlo, Canadian National Champ. All I can say is ask him what happened because coming from me would sound like bragging. It was an interesting game.
