S&V Aces League Week 7

By Kelvan, in X-Wing

OK OK OK OK.... I know this is late. I had actual work on Monday. Then I went to play D&D after not hanging with my friends in a while. I had a good enough time that I called in and was hung over the whole next day. I am sorry. To the games!

Week 7:

Ryan Farmer https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!247:-1,-1:;98:-1,-1:;97:-1,-1:;95:-1,61,-1:;304:-1:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Travis Johnson https://raithos.github.io/?f=Galactic Empire&d=v5!h!183:123,-1,-1,-1:;186:27,-1,-1:;210:-1,-1,-1,165:;209:133,-1,-1,164:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Clever list from Farmer. We have an Old T sighting! Between Teroch and Seevor there will be a pretty significant action advantage for Farmer. Travis has a shot with some really nice movement but unless he can catch Fenn I think this is a win for Farmer. Also props to Farmer for having a great year and destroying his over/under. Clearly I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Prediction: Farmer

Bill Yarnackel https://raithos.github.io/?f=Rebel Alliance&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 Squadron&obs=

Marcel Monzano https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!89:133,-1,-1,-1,-1,96,-1,152:;96::;90:133,-1,62,43,-1,96,-1,-1:;247:133,-1:;249:133,-1:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Analysis: I actually really like Marcel's list here. some fat ships that can hit hard when obstructed also bringing 2 extra debris clouds to help trick shot out. Very clever. Will simply just plays his favorite list and has been doing really well with it. I think Han can potentially make some good moves and pull this out.

Prediction: Marcel

Richard White https://raithos.github.io/?f=First Order&d=v5!s!242:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:;243:116,-1,-1,182,-1,-1:;290:131,-1,-1:;262:-1,-1,-1:;263:-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=
v
Duncan Howard https://raithos.github.io/?f=First Order&d=v5!h!290:131,-1,165:;243:181,-1,-1,182,111,165:;289:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,111,165:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Analysis: So Duncan has board knowledge which should play well for him. His ships are tougher and apparently Tavson is Bonkers. I feel like I should be able to swarm it but I've been playing poorly all league so I doubt it plays that way.

Predictin: Duncan

Tyler Tippett https://raithos.github.io/?f=First Order&d=v5!h!290:131,-1,-1:;243:123,-1,-1,182,113,-1:;236:74,-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Chris Allen https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!103:133,-1,-1,43,-1,-1,-1,153:U.85;98:-1,-1:;90:133,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Analysis: 2 Old T sightings in one week! I think that's a great ship to create a no fly zone for Tyler's Quick Draw. That being said Tyler has board knowledge and I have no idea how Chris will deal with Kylo.

Prediction: Tyler

Alex Smittle https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:124,5,-1,175,-1,171,169:U.136;245:133,-1,191,-1,187,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Morgan Reid, The People's Champion https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:172,5,-1,175,-1,171,-1:;258:-1,-1,175,-1,-1,-1:;239:172,-1,-1,-1:;240:-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Analysis: This is the first time in a while that Morgan hasn't had full board knowledge with his ships. I think this is as good a hope of him losing as any game he's played. That being said he has a significant gun advantage over Alex.

Prediction: Morgan Reid

Paul Heaver https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:172,5,-1,175,-1,171,168:U.10;293:114,-1,-1,-1,-1,70,69,-1:;239:172,133,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=
v
Andrew Bunn https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!95:-1,-1,-1:;97:121,-1:;103:133,-1,-1,54,-1,-1,-1,153:U.85&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Well I think Bunn thinks Boba,Fenn, and an Escape craft is the best list in Hyperspace. Hard to argue. I'm not sure how well Trajectory Sim is going to play for Paul seeing as Andrew's ships are pretty mobile. That and Board knowledge will make it an uphill battle for Paul.

Prediction: BUNN! BUNN! BUNN!

Good Hunting,
Kelvan Tiberius

@Brunas and I will have our fraud-off sometime this week. I'm going to try to get either him or Duncan in tonight.

Here's to a good game between you and whomever you play. :)

... Is it too late to bet the under on Ricky? I got -- counting ... -- $324 in my wallet.

I think that ship sailed a couple of rounds ago.

Duncan and I had to bump our game to this week. Should be getting it in on Sunday.
