Final Victory - Official CTA Tournament - May 5th

[Greg Smith]

My mate Ben will be turning up with a mix of and Adira, Tertiuses, Prefects, Corvans (and a couple of Maximuses - for Da Boss!) We just couldn't come up with another fleet even vaguely close to it in power other than Vorlons (Destroyers in the Skirmish games) and they are quite hit or miss in the early games...

Ben with a chesse fleet, there's a shock! :lol:

Did he use the link I provided on the last page? Complete with cheese-related ship names :lol:

lol well he always did like the drakh prefect cheese fleet (4 lt cruisers, hvy raider 2 scouts) so really not surprised at all.
am surprised he didnt go for my 8 tertius, 2 prefect, 2 maximus, 4 corvan fleet

 

[Burger]

7x Drakh Carrier, 1x Mothership, 1x Light Cruiser, 1x Heavy Raider, 2x Scout... hows that for a cheese fleet for this tourney.

Skirmish: Carrier and a Heavy Raider
Skirmish: Carrier and 2 scouts
Raid: 2x Carrier, Light Cruiser, Mothership... phe4r the 16 Raiders!
Battle: 3 Carriers untouched, plus all the survivors.

 

[katadder]

i would be more concerned facing 2 carriers, 1 light cruiser, 2 heavy raiders and 7 cruisers. those cruisers are annoying. or maybe 14 lt cruisers instead of the cruisers.

 

[Alexb83]

That's what? 5 Centauri so far?
Top end of the leaderboard may as well have a fan-like hairdo of its own

 

[katadder]

hmm perhaps i should have taken my ISA instead.
oh well.

 

[Da Boss]

I'll fight you for last place!

 

[katadder]

or maybe i should have had a shadow fleet that would be interesting. or perhaps a league fleet. another interesting choice.

 

[Alexb83]

Are we allowed to change our minds after we've registered our place?

 

[katadder]

dunno, dont think so, guess i stuck with centauri. other fleets would be counters for me anyway. or maybe part counters part models.

 

[Da Boss]

Are we allowed to change our minds after we've registered our place?

not sure why not - does it make any difference to Mongoose which races are going? - I would have thought the number of people are their main concern?

 

[lastbesthope]

Suprised if no ISA - good ships (with allies) across most levels.......)?

I'm currently thinking of taking ISA, go in fangs out in the first 3 games when I have 'virgin' fleets and hope to get enough points there to save my planet so the 4th match won't mean my homeworld is destroyed when I only have 1 WS left to field :lol:

Interesting about allowing proxy counters, could be useful, all I need now is a proxy for the Nolo'tar :wink:

LBH

 

[katadder]

use torotha counters.

 

[lastbesthope]

But would that be acceptable at the tourney?

I would have to condier the new Arma White Star ships as well for proxies, I might just stick with what i have counters/minis for

LBH

 

[katadder]

so will be counters then from LBH
think if i was doing ISA would be counters with one mini.
WS carrier
for skirmish i probably would use actual torothas, or maybe 2 wings of t-bolts instead.

 

[lastbesthope]

Yeah, my fleet choice is hurting a bit due to lack of painted metal.

LBH

 

[katadder]

go minbari then, all but the neroon is on counters anyway so no problems there

 

[lastbesthope]

But think about it, this is the first Mongoose tourney where you've had the option of taking an Armageddon ship, the temptation is strong.

LBH

 

[katadder]

lol
victory, 11WSs, 2 torothas or 11 WSs, 1 tortha, 2 T-bolt wings.
