Grats!
I'd love to see the objectives, if that's available. At 399, I'm wondering what @PT106 's could have been...

Your wish would have been my command of the WiFi worked/didn’t charge $100 for a dedicated channel for streaming. Long story short, both of us were terrified the other had the raw firepower required to table us, so we danced around each other all game. @PT106 won when Hondo wandered into long range of the Super’s front and went splat.
My battle report for the weekend will be up as I find the time to work through my notes. In the meantime, it is only appropriate in light of that I think that my first major tournament win was with Captain Pellaeon's superior officer that sets up his career in the Imperial Navy, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Over the last two days of play, I have played 8 games of Armada against seven stellar opponents (one rematch in the cut) and somehow ended up the US Grand Champion for Armada. Many thanks to @dsnowak for running an excellent tournament, my wife for the beautiful white and gold paint job on my flagship seen here, and everyone who I played and has encouraged me in this game, too numerous to name. I went 6-2 on the weekend for 64 of 80 possible tournament points, and 1798 total Margin of Victory. I'm planning a writeup of the weekend to be hosted by @Snipafist and @geek19 's Armada blog CGYSO, and I will let you all know for the curious when that is up.
Congrats on the win @GiledPallaeon !
Two years running (at least) a squadless fleet has won NOVA. One thing I love about Armada is how the meta varies by region!
Well done to @PT106 too on answering the question "is the SSD competitive?" - clearly it can be with the right build and player. That was 8 wins of 8?

7. I lost 5-6 to Ackbar TRC MC30/corvettes mix.
Congrats on the win, sounds like it all went to plan for you,
Question, did ou play against many lists with full squadrons? And what is your plan against these kind of builds, I tried a Raddus list this weekend, with no squadrons, and went 1-3, met many squadrons, and was wondering what you do to counter this?
Thx

I intend to discuss all of that in detail in my report, but I'll repeat the Cliff's Notes version here. I faced squadron heavy rounds 1, and 4-7. Of those five games I went 4-1. The plan for my list is simple. Run in, blow up the real ships, bug out. It worked because of two ship. NOVA is incredibly punch-drunk on squads. The Sloane builds I dealt with (4, 6, 7) were all designed by their users at least in part to deal with two ship. Their play reflected this most of all, with conservative backline deployments not only for the ships but the squadrons. What that meant for me as I accelerated across the table is that the squadrons rarely started shooting me before I was firing on their ships, and I tended to win those damage races.

Thx for the insight, look forwards to reading your report when you get a chance to make it, hope you link to it here 🙂
