Birmingham Beckons! Europeans 2018

By Cremate, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Think I had a nicely rounded tournament, 2x han and rangers lists, 2x IG and 2x Vader!

weirdly beat both Vader lists, close losses to IG's and one 40-9 against Han and the other was pretty close.

I wasn't running an optimal list at all, went for fun and nice looking. Headed up by Bossk ?

Did we play together? I'm asking as I played against a Bossk list?

If it's you, we talked about Greedo and I tried (and I think succeeded) to explain why he is so fantastic to play :)

Has anyone got a copy of the picture Gils took of the top 16 with our medals on? I've not seen it surface yet

I will with all players permission post it up here or one of the players who has it can post it, Luke Sykes the winner has it I am pretty sure and maybe Alistair has it too.

Yea agreed on it not being about the money, I don't think I've met anyone for whom that's a consideration.

We played mos eisley b once during Swiss and then again at top 16, with uscru courier being the only one played twice during Swiss.

I would be interested to see how many han rangers builds lost those two games though against anything other than a mirror as I'm starting to think of it as a real problem atm with all but an auto win for the smugglers.

(I may just be sour as two of my losses were on that and I knew I'd lost as soon as the mission was declared for top 16)

Swiss rounds was a total of 6 rounds and therefore every mission was played once, and then for day 2 it was a new setup and we drew missions from all of them again.

Awesome list too! I love Bossk, but so hard to get mileage out of him. Any thoughts on the list? (I usually play him with Prey as well as he needs all the range he can get). Was R2-D2 worth it, with also having Jabba?

Yea true, I think I saw game 7 as an extension of Swiss but technically it wasn't so.

You have my permission of course as one of the 16, I don't think everyone will post agreement however as I don't think everyone of them is a forum user.

Never mind if unable to post, just thought it'd be nice to have a copy!

I think one of the players will post it shortly,since they are allowed too.

It worked ok, against non-spy lists could get half the command deck in my hand turn 2. Bossk is tough to use properly, but if you pull off a move, indescriminate fire with trando terror, to the limit, attack, that's quite brutal. Was the first time I'd run the list and tweaked command deck a bit since. Going to give it more of a run as a lot of fun
