Hi, Following on from my thread discussing the Clone Swarm I’ve been thorizing on and building lately, I went to a casual 14 person tournament yesterday to see how it would perform. The results were much better than expected.
Squad List thread:
The list I ran was:
•”Sinker” w/ •Clone Commander Cody - 57pt
104th Battalion Pilot - 42pt
Gold Squadron Trooper - 25pt
Gold Squadron Trooper - 25pt
Gold Squadron Trooper - 25pt
Gold Squadron Trooper - 25pt
199/200

ROUND 1
Was against the TO of the event who was running CIS (x3 precise hunters w/ energy-shells, & hull upgrade, Sears w/ Kracken, and x2 Haor Chall Prototypes). I had seen him run this list too great effect on league nights and had to be cautious of the energy shells.
We both stuck to our board edges in an attempt to lure the other in. Eventually we both turned in, however sears and the prototypes were out of position and it ended up being the precise hunters against my entire force.
His energy shells, unfortunately for him, rolled poorly and only did a single damage against 1 torrent with all 3. I managed to down a hunter. Next round blocking ensued and 1 of the prototypes also joined the fight, which I managed to also take out. The remainder of the game was knife fighting while sears struggled to join in. It ended in a republic victory with 2 torrents destroyed and 1 half points compared to 3 vultures taken out and 1 on half points. 99-68
ROUND 2
Came up against another person from league nights playing resistance aces, Zari and L’ulo w/ heroic, Jess w/ M9 & jamming beam, and Nein w/ PA, title, & Jamming beam.
I stuck to my board edge as much as possible as I wanted him to make the commitment to engage me. He tried to have l’ulo Flank up the side of the board, as expected. The rest of his force eventually committed to an attack coming up the middle of the board and I turned in to meet them. Nein took shots from my whole force bar sinker, who shot out the rear arc range 1 into L’ulo who tried flanking behind. End of the first engagement and 1 torrent half health, Sinker sheildless, L’ulo shieldless and Nein destroyed. Zari and Jess turned away to avoid the swarm and ended up not being in arc.
The following turns were mostly clean up with L’ulo and Zari being blocked and destroyed leaving Jess. During this time my opponent was able to destroy both my ARCs before time was called with Jess surviving on 1 Hull. Republic victory. 170-112
