Here are two write-ups about the Nordic Championship, which took place Sunday, October 27:

Here's Mårten's (who won the entire thing and is now coming to the World Event) write up: http://teamcovenant.com/murre/2013/10/27/nordic-championship-a-short-report/comment-page-1/#comment-21

gr8 reports guys. thanx for sharing. was intersted to see what Marten was running for upgrades? did he have something on the omicron? hes at 96pts with his ships.

He had Vader (3pts).

Where are the maneuver templates from?

They are from FFG. Official acryllic maneuver templates that the top eight players won (I finished seventh).

Nice write up. So it was Swarm vs. Swarm in the finals, eh? I think your squad was pretty solid, but in the end I guess numbers out last firepower.

Thanks.

My squad was solid, it faced a swarm and two shuttle swarms and went 2-1 against those. It also outperformed Krassis with four TIEs in the first game.

Swarms are more forgiving and can survive a few turns of bad rolls. Fewer ships are less forgiving, as seen in my game against Mårten.
