Yup. Looks like more Star Destroyers than players once again this year for Day 1A. Most of the more local players do Thursday, so it shows of the incredibly heavy Imperial slant of the area.

You show those Impos who's in charge!

You let me know when I'm supposed to be scared of Palpatine. He's certainly A commander you could take, but if you're running MSU, why not Screed? If you're running LMSU, why not Jerry? Screed? Vader? Someone actually good?

Palp is a solid pick for certain play styles and is actually fairly costed for his ability. You only need 2 combat ships to be getting the equivalent power in Intel Officers while freeing up the officer slot for other options. He could end up being a very solid pick for double ISD and MSU barrage fleets for example.

Palpatine, ISD, Demolisher, Gozanti w/ BCC, TIE Bombers. I don't know if it's a great idea but it sure sounds fun. :D

No aceholes on day 1. Daryl had his Ywing ball. Top list was a cymoon, raider and two kittens... maybe a gozanti in there. Don’t remember

I'll let @duck_bird give upgrade specifics, but the general combo was Vader, a Cymoon, two Arquitens, a Raider (think it was a 2), and a Gozanti. Very solid barrage setup.

Just one Raider.

Any updates from today's games?

Yeah it's Cymoon, Arq, Arq, Raider1, Goz.

Tell us how the games are going today! Keep us updated!

Awfully quiet today. I understand since reception in the basement is terrible but I'd appreciate it if someone posted a final day 1b standings at the end so I know if I made the cut.

One more game to play and my Thrawn Bombers has 28 points.

I had 18 going into this last round, I was on table 8 or 7.

Nice! What's the field look like? I have hardly heard anything about the games today and I'm very curious!

Dinner break, once final round in about 20 minutes.

I'm doing terrible, finally got a win in round 4. Lots of close games but something goes wrong every time. Might need to give up on Devastator.

Mind if I ask for the whole list out of curiosity? Just started playing around with Devastator recently.

Ive faced 3 fleets with NO squads vs my 11 bombers and Dengar. Theyve gotten pretty shredded. I got lucky vs cactus cause I read his articles and know better than to shoot Devestator! Hehe.

The one fleet I faced with squads I still almost beat because his ships were small. Two kittens, two raiders, and two goz with hefty squads. I underestimated Maarek though and he sealed my fate with Jendon. Still got 3 points though, I feel I should have won that game. I have to think more of my mistakes.

Gone last three times. First once because a dude was afraid of the possibiluties of my missions.

Holee crap! Im on table 2!

I lost a game too man. Don't sweat it! Duck is literally the only one that went undefeated yesterday.

Oh FFG, you really just can't help yourself. 9 minutes of plugging your Star Wars games and you forgot just one game...

I want an angry react...

Took tenth. ? The guy on top has 45 points, putting @duck_bird in second going into the cut (43 points, right?). He’s got a mean Raddus rogue thing going. The meta is diverse, lots of squadless fleets (ISDs mainly) a Sloane list, an ace holes list, at least two Raddus bombs and a Garm dual large.
