An exciting week 1. Lots of close games. Would you like to see them!? Well you can’t because we, as a collective, suck. I’d like to remind everyone that you need to create a log file of your game when you play or record it somehow so we can watch the games later. This is the shame list for last week.

Richard White: I don’t care about your computer’s memory problem.
Tyler Tippett: I don’t care about your computers’ inablity to keep Vassal up.
Ryan Farmer: I don’t care about your memory issues
Andrew Bunn: You should know better

Marcel v Travis and Duncan v Morgan were delayed to this week. Do better!

Week 2 Pairings

Alex Smittle: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v5!s!97:121,-1:;108:-1,-1,54,-1,-1,-1,-1:;95:-1,61,-1:;247:-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: God damnit… i couldn’t leave the trick shots off. Smittle gets the bid. I out gun Alex but he has board knowledge with Fenn. This’ll come down to my blocking and concentrated fire vs how well Alex can utlilze board knowledge and split fire.

Prediction : Richard White

Tyler Tippet: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v5!s!238:185,206,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:;288:185,206,-1,-1,-1,-1,113,-1:;288:185,206,-1,-1,-1,-1,113,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: FORT STARSLINGER! Tyler has some big *** guns he’s going to be slow rolling into this mini tie swarm. That being said if Paul can get into Tyler’s backline I just can’t see him winning. I don’t know what paul is up to but he’ll get those ships ionzed and concentrated down. probably.

Prediction: Paul

Ryan Farmer: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!240:-1,116,102,-1:;231:172,5,-1,175,-1,171,-1:;244:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Will Birnackel: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v5!s!5:119,-1,-1,-1,142:;9:119,-1,-1,-1,142:;7:-1,-1,-1,142:;2:130,-1,-1,-1,142:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: On paper I like Farmer’s list a lot. I might buff up Rey a bit but she works perfectly fine on her own. Poe will be a monster in the matchup. In a vacuum I think Farmer’s list is better. But Will has played his list more or less since 2nd edition came out. I’ll take that experience over Farmer’s first or second try at a new list.

Prediction: Will Warnacle

Travis Johnson: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v5!s!236:74,178,-1,-1,-1:;242:181,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:;233:181,-1,-1:&sn=Unsaved%20Squadron&obs=

Andrew Bunn: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v5!s!243:124,-1,-1,182,111,105:;236:74,178,136,-1,-1:&sn=kylo%20qd&obs=

Analysis: This one is going to be a really fun game to watch. Travis bring Loc… I mean “Midnight” to lock down Bunn’s Kylo and has an efficient Backdraft to go along with Kylo. Bunn brings Kylo and and Quick draw to utilize board position to hunt other aces down. This is a toss up game. I’m not betting against Bunn though.

Prediction: BUNN! BUNN! BUNN!

Morgan Reid: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v5!se!97:127,-1:;103:-1,-1,-1,43,69,-1,-1,153:U.85;94:-1,61,-1:&sn=New%20Squadron&obs=

Marcel Manzano: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First Order&d=v5!s!243:119,-1,-1,182,111,165:;233:123,-1,-1:;290:131,-1,-1:;262:116,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Boy both of these lists are top notch. Morgan brings a little more pain with Boba and a proton bomb vs Fenn. Marcel brings a high PS high damage 4 ship First Order list. Marcel has full board knowledge with 3 ships with his 12 point bid. I think that proton bomb is going to be the key. How well is morgan going to gum up the opposing list with boba? Either way this is the match of the week in my opinion.

Prediction: Morgan

Chris Allen: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v5!s!236:74,178,136,-1,-1:;289:185,-1,184,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Duncan Howard: https://squadbuilder.fantasyflightgames.com/squad-preview/b83e2f3e-fd5f-47ef-9202-f924f3622804?fbclid=IwAR2uVvwq4czUh8p6MiAcmu4ewBx_U0sRgKdmh3gCcbUrxxvQEjTbStBz7BQ

Analysis: Oh man… 2 rounds in a row outbid by 1 point. Bid better Duncan. Next round Duncan is either running 200 points or 170. Really I think Duncan has everything he needs to win this. He has 2 ships that can win by themselves and double actions for whoever needs it. That beings said, he submitted his list via the FFG builder and I can’t ever cheer for that.

Prediction: Chris Allen

Good Hunting,
