Captain ICT 151 Posted January 5, 2016 on a roll today Captain ICT was on watching mine and Truthiness game so i roped him into playing ours Results Clontroper5(1st) vs Captain ICT: 9-1 229 mov all the BEESS anyway full on charge and let my glass cannons blow up everything which they did. instigator fed itself to the b-wings and then Demolisher killed independence off a double activation (move last shoot first) followed by yavaris getting knocked out by a double arc it was forced to move into (my raiders hurt like heck) I then chased salvation down killing it with a double arc the next turn but not before his b-wings claimed a 2nd ship and a bunch of tokens anyway good game to my opponent and Good luck on your future matches. This is one of the few times I've been completely outflown. He used his upgrades (which even though I'd looked at his list, I just saw APT on one, and thought ooh, apt on all. Holy OW. Then after noticing that once, I did it again against another raider. Didn't help that after a great first round, my fighter attacks turned to crap. Could have been close to a tie, if my B-wings could hit the broad side of a barn with black dice. 1 clontroper5 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reath28 37 Posted January 5, 2016 Just to confirm how we are doing this. We play a game against the other 3 players in the pod and then post results. I just want to confirm prior to tapping up the other three guys for games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattShadowlord 1,494 Posted January 5, 2016 Clontroper5 (1st)vs Truthiness: 10-0 mov 362 We had our game and knowing I had >>>>>>firepower but <<<<<<<<<surviability I just charged and after placing instigator well enabling me to tie up his fighters I demonstrated the full firepower of my fleet able to destroy every ship with 2 vollys and ending the game turn 4 I am sure it was a very shocking experience for the Truthiness Very well played by clon. I mangled my plan badly, wandering my Bombers straight into instigator while being obstructed by obstacles. I badly underestimated clon's firepower. It was a very good game, and very well played by Clontroper5 I highly recommend anyone interested in Raiders watches the replay. (I recorded the first few turns but then went to Nandos ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BiggsIRL 6,717 Posted January 5, 2016 Awww man missed it... please sign me up as a replacement. Just managed to get Vassal working today and am eager to play! (CDT / US) I'll get a list posted in the morning. I guess no hurry since I'm sitting on the bench ... lemme in coach lemme in! You can go ahead and play with the other 3 replacement players as a "super secret special pod" once you post your list - tournament has started already though, sorry, so you wouldn't be eligible for replacement even if you posted your list.

I just want to confirm prior to tapping up the other three guys for games. That is correct. Play 3 games, one against each other player in the pod. Probably best to average 1 game per week but there's nothing stopping you from clearing them all out in a single week of craziness (see Clontroper5).

HERO 842 Posted January 5, 2016 Ackbar with accuracies do a number to Raiders. Another example of why home one with fish lord is very relevant in the meta. Lol again that other thread that disagrees. 1 Green Knight reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madaghmire 7,274 Posted January 5, 2016 Ackbar with accuracies do a number to Raiders. Another example of why home one with fish lord is very relevant in the meta. Lol again that other thread that disagrees. I haven't played raiders in an inperial mirror match, but I have seen raiders fight ackbar. Actually "fight" is a strong word. I'm not alledging they were asking for what they got, you know, because a spaceship should be able to wear what it wants, but it stongly implied that it wanted to be "sleeping with the fishies" if you get my meaning. 1 CaribbeanNinja reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
