Star wars armada event

 A couple of weeks ago I went down to wellington to participate in an Armada event. It was the usual 400pts 3 rounds swiss pairings. Although only 6 people could make it all 4 factions were still represented there was 2 Rebel, 2 Republic, 1 CIS, 1 Imperial fleets. I played vs the 2 Rebel and 1 Imperial fleet.

 My List

Providence Dreadnought (105)
• General Grievous (20)
• Local Fire Control (4)
• Assault Proton Torpedoes (4)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
• Lucid Voice (8)
= 148 Points

Munificent Star Frigate (73)
• Auxiliary Shields Team (3)
• Advanced Projectors (6)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
= 89 Points

Munificent Star Frigate (73)
• Auxiliary Shields Team (3)
• Advanced Projectors (6)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
= 89 Points

Squadrons:
• 6 x Vulture Droid Fighter Squadron (48)
• 2 x Droid Tri-fighter Squadron (22)
= 70 Points

Total Points: 396

 

Game 1 vs an Agate list with a Starhawk, 2 MC30s and squads playing station assault.

I was defending but I advanced up too quick on my opponent who kill all my fighters first before firing on my ships. Meaning my Grievous ability never really triggered.

In the end I lost 1 station all my squadrons and one of my munificents. Resulting in a loss to me 199-80pts

My second game was also vs Rebels this time Ackbar leading 2 Assault frigates a Pelta and squadrons. This time around the mission was Fire lanes.

 

Both fleets moved in at a slow place sizing each other up. While the Squadrons went at it.

This game ended in a very narrow win for me 99-65pts. Both sides lost some squadrons and claimed some of the victory tokens. No one could quite finish off a ship.

The last game of the day was vs a Motti lead fleet with 2 ISD's and a Gladiator. and just 3 squads. The mission was once again fire lanes.

This game ended in a win for me. Killing an ISD some squads and claiming some of the victory tokens was enough to secure a 253-100pts win while only losing some squads.

A great days gaming with some new and familiar faces. I am quite happy with my 3rd placing I am quite often lagging at the back of the pack. I think having a regular opponent to play has helped my game a lot in remembering things and honing in my play style. I won some acrylic templates for my 3rd position.

Star wars legion at Panzerscreck

A number of years ago at Panzerschreck I would of been playing the Flames of war doubles event. But since the move to version 4 I haven't liked it at all so with Star wars legion being on offer I attended that instead. 

Unlike most war games I play im trying to limit myself to just one army. In this case is the droid armies of the CIS. I went for a gun line style army this time around with some speedy Staps as my mobile part of the force.

There was only 6 of us playing as a lot of the usual Legion players couldn't make the trip up to Palmerston north. A few of the ones up here were on duty in the Army and Airforce so couldn't attend either.

There was 3 Rebel armies, 2 Droid armies, and one Imperial force. Here are some pics of the days gaming of which I played 3 games vs 3 Rebel players.

Game 1 vs Rebels ended in a narrow loss for me.

Staps racing down the flank to harass the enemies rear lines.

The muscles of my outfit. (This tank is why I choose the droid army)

2nd game on the same table vs Rebels ended in a heavy defeat for me.

Jyn Erso laying down the law on my Staps.

My worker droid picking up the pieces trying to keep the squad running.

3rd game vs Rebels also this one ended in a win for me.

This time I wasn't the only one with vehicles.

Rebel troopers pinned down by my AAT and Staps.

Even Luke couldn't stand up to that much fire power.

A few Staps make it through to the enemies rear lines to pull their attention away from the battle.

A great days gaming had by all involved I finished 4th and you might think thats not bad but there was only 6 people lol. The following weekend I went to Wellington for an Armada event and I hope to have that up in a few days. Again I was running a CIS force and ill fill you in on that soon.
