Looks like we have 3 Primes up and running tomorrow.

Let's make some predictions for this season:

• Most used admiral (for each faction)
• Most successful admiral (Top 4 appearances)
• Most winning faction
• Most taken ship
• Least taken ship

Others?

I'll be at Spokane tomorrow and I'm sure we will hear form the other two as well.

So, what do you think will happen?

For my part:

• Thrawn and Ackbar will be most used
• I think Jerjerrod may end up the most successful
• Imperials
• ISD II and CR90a
• Raider and Pelta

That's not a prediction, slacker

Given the penchant of "nerds on the Internet" I'd think it is. But...

Thrawn and Agate, Agate, Imperials, Onager and CR90A, annnnnd Combat Interdictor/Assault GR75.

I agree with @shmitty for much of it:

• Thrawn and Ackbar
• Jerjerrod (Will be on almost every successful SSD build)
• Imperials (SSDs and perhaps some residual 2-Ship)
• ISD II and CR90a (Ranged Damage vs SSD, I’m assuming)
• Pelta and Victory (Corvus is going to give the Raider a huge boost)

• Most used admiral (for each faction)

Thrawn, Raddus

• Most successful admiral (Top 4 appearances)

Sloane

• Most winning faction

Imperials

• Most taken ship

Gozanti

• Least taken ship

Interdictor

Most used admiral (for each faction)

Garm and Palp (people bought a 200pt model, might as well use the stuff in it.

Most successful admiral (Top 4 appearances)

1: Slone

2: Raddus

3: Dodanna

4: Agate

Most winning faction: Rebels

Most taken ship: GR75

Least taken ship: Super Star Destroyer

I'm fairly unplugged from the larger meta at the moment, so maybe I'm wrong here... but as far as I know, nobody has "solved" the SSD yet. By which I mean there is no "if you know you're facing an SSD, take this and fly it this way and you'll ruin its whole day."

But I assume somebody has figured that out. Whoever that is, I think they have all the answers to these questions.

For my part:

Thrawn/Rieekan

Jerry

Imperials

Gozanti, though ISDs and SSDs will be the dominant presence.

Combat GR-75

Also who's getting sheets for @Truthiness? @shmitty or @Karneck and who else?

The data sheet will indeed return this season! I'm just waiting on the stream on the 19th for last minute wave 8 reveals. It's easier for me just to do all the work at once rather than try to update the sheet as the season is going.

I will definitely need data input help this year as I'm in an accelerated grad program. I'll make a dedicated post when the data sheet is entirely ready.

I’ll be at the Carrollton, GA one tomorrow. I’ll try to grab a list of the fleets, or make sure someone else is at least.

I’ll grab them and handle the data entry.

Combat GR-75

Avenger Boarding Troopers ISD-1 or Kuat, with bombers, reliable ruins an SSD in 2 turns. As long as you don’t get in a double arc by the SSD, it can’t win the damage race.

There are a lot of Regionals happening in Spain this year (very jealous, UK only has 3 all of which I'll miss!). Hopefully the likes of @ovinomanc3r or @BillHimclaw can help gather lists from there. Lots of good players in Spain not known outside of Spain!

Thrawn (just going by likely numbers)

ISD2

Mc30 torpedo (No fair guessing Combat GR-75’s. Those are mythical creatures)

I think the first was October 19th in Madrid! Any idea how that went?

And there was another last weekend I believe. I know some people from Barcelona which is coming up next so can ask them.

Spain has as many Regionals as UK, Ireland and Germany put together.

Spanish love Armadas
