    I was so looking forward to this. And i overslept. Noon start times are way better
    So do they rotate each month between escalation and fixed points, or is it just kinda whatever?
    Hope to make the next one, and to hear how this one went.

    TLT spam on 4 Y-wings took 1st, Punisher with a swarm took 2nd, I took 3rd with Jake Lloyd and the guy from that old Energizer commercial. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, TLT's are here and they are way worse than I thought they'd be.

    It's kinda whatever I think - they are looking for ways to spice the tournaments up, so the 100-point standard will probably shift around at some point. We ended up with 17 players though, so the whole bracket changed to 4-round swiss with a cut to the top 4 for semi and final.

    They are very very good. However, given more after thought it was the combination of the unhinged astromechs that made that list sing.

    Yeah as I thought about it, my biggest problem was I had to learn how to fight that list round 4 of a tournament, and didn't play the deci effectively enough so I had to try to solo the list with Vader. I mean not that it's not super hard, but yeah the Y-Wing's staying power, the fact that there were 4 of them flying in a square formation that I had to try to break up and the unhinged astro turning them to green hard 3 moves was rough.

    I've put my Phantoms aside and my BroBots are back. Four shields for durability and autothrusters galore on top of three evade dice.

    My thought was that if the TLT always does one damage when it hits, screw the evade dice.
