- I brought bomber squads but placed a little too much focus on the anti-squads component of my fleet (esp. with Versio on the Corvus). I just really wanted to win the squad battle. Unfortunately, I only played ONE opponent with ANY squadrons!!
- I did not use my Raider effectively, esp w/ nothing to flak in 3 matches, not wanting to risk it much against the 4 ISDs, 1 SSD, and 1 MC80 I faced. I want to say I would have used it more aggressively but using it conservatively was essential in preventing a tabling in Round 4 (and an almost in Round 3 vs the SSD).
- I took Sovereign off my ISD, which would have been nice, BUT my small 4 point bid gave me the opportunity to choose 1st or 2nd player in my first 3 matches (which was ALWAYS crucial) and allowed my to tie the bid on my 4th match (where I won the roll for initiative). So that was good. I figured out that I still needed to dial in a squad command (usually on turn 3 anyway and use Piett’s ability on something else that turn.)
- Bomber Command was missed, but not horribly. This was Vegas after all and I decided to gamble on my dice!
- I fought my first SSD in tournament play and managed to win though a combination of skill and luck. Definitely took both. Very scary thing to face.
- Didn’t expect to face 2 different dual-long range ISD lists (Motti ISDII/Cymoon = Win! / Dual Chimaera/Sovereign ISDIIs = Loss!)
- I’ll post some match notes to the best of my recollection (and use of some pics) tomorrow (if I remember).
Great round 4 game.. was the first bid I lost and didn't get to use all the terrain to my advantage
