i’m not a fan of my list, Dorrin’s has merit though 

Remember that everyone gets a "freshly randomized" list after each round, so hopefully you'll enjoy your next list better.

[Dr alex 591]

We do? Amazing!

The Battle of CrustaceanDome is over!  4 shrimp enter, 1 shrimp leaves!

@DoubleDown217 and I played a crazy fun game tonight, with brilliant maneuvers and numerous WHAT-THE-HECK moments.  Watch as Doubledown drops an MC30 to speed 0 - and gets away with it!  Watch as Han whiffs while shooting first, which allowed a Hammerhead to live, which killed a shrimp with juuuust enough damage, but then was avenged by Ketsu-freakin'-Onyo, who with the last shot of the game blew through the Hammerhead's last shield and hull point.  Earlier the Hammerhead had attempted to ram the aforementioned Mc30, which had a single hull point left, and the attached picture shows how I missed ramming by a single pixel.....but that pixel is definitely there! 

 

DoubleDown chose Superior Positions from my list and he did well. scoring 7̶5̶  40 points on tokens alone.  In the end I managed to kill both his MC30's, while he killed one MC30 and the Hammerhead.  

164-233 in my favor.  

Great game with a most gentlemanly opponent!  Log is here:

EDIT:  Sorry Doubledown, I forgot the tokens were only worth half points rounded up!

Blingvarr vs. Moodswing ends in a 52-25 win for Bling, which I believe is a 6-5.

This was a great game. We rolled for initiative and I won, choosing first, and playing his targeting beacons. He placed his single ISD 2 in the middle of his deployment, and proceeded to drop to speed 0. I maneuvered yavaris up left side, pushing keyan, norra, and dagger ahead of it with FCT. He eventually engaged with his ties, but I was able to pull off a yavaris double tap on the TIE's. This is where the dice gods kicked me in both testes. I literally couldn't kill black squadron with 2 dbl taps. Bling retaliated next turn with avenger and Howl, decimating my b wings, and later taking out Norra. I proceeded to go into "get the **** away from the big angry Avenger" in the middle of the map, and was able to skirt his red arc's and run with everybody. I lost all squads, he lost black and 2 TIEs. No ships were lost on either side.

Great match. No log, unfortunately, but you wouldn't have wanted to see those rolls of mine anyway. Totally horrifying. 

 

Sorry about your dice, good job keeping Avenger away though.  These tank list are tough.

Very fun match! Great opponent! I still can't believe Garel came up a pixel short. 

[Tokra 2,147]

If i see it right, there are 4 matches missing. 

And @Dorrin314 is leading with 18 points and a MOV of 316.

Just watched the match and have to add something. Ships at speed 0 cannot use defense tokens. The Dodonna MC30 slowed down to 0 to prevent the ram. But used the defense tokens when attacked. it would not have changed anything.

[Ginkapo 9,321]

Do the lists go with MOV too? Winners get lists that lost etc?

No idea how he @CaribbeanNinja is going to do it . I just added the matches in my excel sheet. Mainly to see how many matches are left to do.

[CaribbeanNinja 6,207]

If you guys have any really smart ways to do it, I'm all ears.

Right now the only thing that is certain is that I'll pair players by their MOV. (Like a normal tourney)

It may not be possible to do it with lists as well.  If I cannot, then I'll just go ahead and randomize the lists again.

Oh you are right, i thought about that as I was deciding to go to speed 0 and then totally forgot. I knew I had enough shields to eat up his blue attack without tokens. My apologies, was unintentional.

Yeah, my wimpy attacks available weren't going to change anything.  As I mentioned, it was a nice move as Doubledown saw that there was minimal chance for damage before activating again.

[CaribbeanNinja 6,207]

Cninja v PartyPotato is in the books. 225-110 for a 115 MOV (8/3) to me.

Doppelganger's 4 HH fleet is pretty rough y'all.  4 activations with Racks is nothing to sneeze at.  I went 2nd and PP chose my Opening Salvo.

A super fast and fun game!

Always a pleasure to face the Dancing Spud!

You could do a reverse of what you do with the players:

list with the worst MoV (well MoL given it’s one game and all) goes to the player with the highest MoV, list with the highest MoV goes to the player with the lowest MoV.

This has the advantage of smoothing out both the effect of receiving a lucky fleet that is actually quite good by giving you a hopefully awful one next (meaning player skill will come out as presumably the most skilful player will be able to do well with an awful fleet) and the impact on your fleet score of your fleet being given to an awful player (say, me). It should mean the fleet scores by the end will actually reflect the fleet’s quality, not which random group of players received it.

Except I think that just means everyone playing with the fleet they just faced. 

But one of the games they faced the list they created.

True, not necessarily a problem mind. It would work fine from the second round onwards. You could however sort it like Swiss pairs and take all the lists that scored 1-10 and then pair them with the people who got 10-1, but avoiding where possible the list they just played.

To be fair we both only realised the jendon thing on turn 3 thanks to @CaribbeanNinja Also all of thrawns dials should have been engineering.

The ISD was really mean. Front and Side Anti squadorn attack on 3 Firesprays for 11 damage?
Double black is really great on an ISD.

And only good that CaribbeanNinja was there . Jendon with Strategic and Targeting Scramber on long range...

Thrawn is a hard call. you need the squadron command. But the gozanti can do this (even though i thought to use the Comms net for repair tokens). But you want as well a navigate, repair or even a concentrate fire. But being able to use two dials a turn is already great.

And I specifically sat down and read the list and all the cards and still got the scrambler wrong...

Correction to the score. We added wrong. It was 192 to 0 not 196

[CaribbeanNinja 6,207]

Only two games to go in the exciting first round!
