I think the main reason on the XI7 Vs AP Ruling is the fact MC80 has 15? Shields to eat through and with AP + ECM you can almost always get your Brace + redirect every time you need it, I should know I won an MC80 and MC30 at different Sullust events and been running them casually since - Not lost a game and very rarely the MC80 yet.

Worlds isn't for another 2-3 weeks at least?

Just me or do those dice look more like D12's than D8's?

I can almost certainly see Rae Sloane making it in as shes been in both Aftermath and A new Dawn (Pre-Rebels book)

I'm free a week tomorrow to do one or both of my remaining games

It seems suddenly for Sullust a lot more people are running Squadron heavy lists and they seem to be doing well (when flown right).Rejoice in this Squadron renaissance we are having.

I had "Are Squadron attacks obstructed by Obstacles" come up at least once in two different Sullust events.

I find people just run Squadrons at things which is the wrong way to use them, keep them close to your ships and use them as a screen of death, and always throw squad orders for them, the extra dice before your ship shooting is amazing, forces token useage usually. Even better if they already have attack range so they can shoot then reposition for the next round/target.

I ran 2 AFMk2's with 2Y 2B 2X and an A, Came 2nd across two different Sullust events, took an MC80 and an MC30c (Already paid for 2 MC80's don't need a 4th!) Funny enough first place was the same across both too, he was running Gencon Special.

Placed 2nd again today same list as yesterday. 1st from yesterday also placed 1st today and 2 others from the top 5 yesterday placed top 5 today (I was TO so passed the "TO" prize off to 5th place) AFMk2B Garm Gunnery Adv Projectors Enhanc Arm. Mk2B Gunnery, Adv Proj, Enhanc Arm. 2X 2Y 2B 1A Sadly had the bye AGAIN wtf Played vs a 4 glad Tarkin List. Lost 7-3 (had a lot of blanks and 1 glad getting away on 1 and another on 2) 10-0 win vs 2Y 1X AF2 + Dodonna + Enhanc, Support Neb + Salvation. (forget if it had anything else), CR90B Dodonnas Pride. CR90B Jainas light and Overload pulse.

Played today with 2x AF2MKB. Gunnery Team, Advanced Projectors, Enhanced armaments. One carrying Garm Bel Iblis. 1x A 2x X 2x Y 2x B 300 points. Came 2nd got MC80 Played vs Gencon Special twice. Won first 9-1 2nd tied 5-5 I could of played the 5-5 better and probably came away with a 7-3 in my favor, sadly first round had the bye. Much rather of played Didn't play final game as people were tired so we all just picked what we wanted, but I had a dirty wave 2 list which has 3 ships all firing 7+ dice a shot out their sides at Red range. Go Squadron ball!

Neb-B Side arcs, add up! Those little pecks of 1 or 2 really add up, almost more scary than one huge attack. And yes our dice lucks had reversed this game

For 300 points 294 is the sweetspot for me, I used to run at 296 but a lot of glad lists bid for that now.

I've used TalonBane with Crack Shot, Glitterstim and Stealth. Really fun!

I played Maturin last tournament too =D And Unfortunately didn't get to play vs Mattshadowlord, hopefully we can fix that this time.

I'd really like to see a DP20, sort of a more aggressive CR90, maybe a primarily mid range skirmisher, since we have MC30 to fill the close/long range. Not many "Main blue dice" small bases atm, other than the CR90B. It'd be nice to see something fast with a lot of blue's (3 or 4) and one or two reds.

Don't know if anyone else noticed the mistake in that article, the MC30c spent 2 Evade tokens to cancel 4 dice yet in the Rules Reference Book it says you can't spend more than 1 of each defense token per attack. Oops!

Sure I'm in. England GMT+0 Edit: Derp still on BST so GMT+1 Will post list when I decide what I want to run (got about 8 different lists all very similar atm! Prefer to play from 5:30pm onwards till (latest 8pm starting time) on Weekday and for weekend I'm good anytime 8am till about a 9PM latest start time. List: AFMK2B + Garm Bel Iblis + Intel officer + Gunnery team + Enhanced. AFMK2B + Raymus + Gunnery team + Enhanced. AFMK2B + Intel Office + Gunnery Team + Enhanced Neb-B Support Refit + Intel Officer + Engine Techs + XI7 Turbo + Salvation.

I thought so, that's how we've been playing it but wanted to double check.

Hi Hive mind just wanted to check something with CF. Say I have a Cf token and also reveal a CF dial, can I reroll a dice with token on first attack and then choose to add the dice on my second? Or so I need to do both within the same attack?

Ah I didn't see the third round had been added as a 5-5, My bad!

Just to point out if either myself or MattShadowlord had pulled 8-2 or higher we would come first (If we got to play our 3rd round game)

Maybe but vs a 3 Glad Vic you both have the same activation's and it is the meta for Imp's atm where I am sadly. I get it isn't always about dice but vs the Current Meta it kinda is, unless you can get superior positions and run around their backs racking up the Tokens or some other objective like that. I think I'd almost want Most wanted in the mix and target their VSD. I dunno I just feel CR90's are too fragile. saying that I love Neb swarms which are just as vulnerable if not more so.

Good post only thing I have to say is the rebel list, I worry too much Is put on paragon and salvation. I worry the CR90s won't pull their weight in points, especially with how hard it is to set up reliable double arcs on one target with them, given their huge front arc.

By the looks of it the earliest me and my opponent can play (because of work scheduals and time zones) is the coming weekend.
