At 100 points, Due to reduced chance of Yobuck encounter, I would probably run more low health units. a basic Senate Commando template, 1 of the captain and 3 commandos comes under 89 points which have burtal firepower and enough room for tech. Even though they take damage, the possible 60 each is deadly. Or a whormsome squad based around fringe shooters.

Otherwise I would use OR battle masters with shooter support since they are really effective sheild. Just with shooters generally being really strong, my tactics would be about overwheming figure power with little reguards to mobility. Squads would be small, but typically consist of 2/4 batters, then a overide figure or/and uggies.


At 150 points, I tend to use the extra points to include commanders that normally don't have that great individal clout. Such as GOWK, Freedom Nadd, General Grevious. This is also the bare minimun that I would expect to see Yobuck and other, charcter centric squads with 1 to 2 small support damagers, Activations get more importent, typically ending up around 10.


200 is pretty much the same as 150 to me, only depending on the squad, figures and commander numbers are beefed up or activations. This is also the strongest area for droid armys and other, commander effect centralised, as they can afford Grevious, lancer and IG's while maintaining healthy activations. Squad here 11/13 activations, but these can potencially be as high as 17 in some exceptional cases. Rebels effectively have 24 activations average due to Donnonna.


In short, for me at least:

100: Bare bonds squads, commander effects are of not great importence, figure quaility is vital.

150: The focus changes greatly to a few figures that are boosted via commander effects and Activation food.

200: Same as above, only the extra 50 points allows more firepower and activations to be pushed in. Which allows squads with more expensive commander effects to really take advantage. Activations are of paramount importence. Basically, this is a bigger 150, the mentality changes little, you can just simply afford to put more aggressive units in.

Well, I'm rather green when it comes to the legitimate tactics of the game - I'd be really interested to see how I went in an actual-factual tournament(!) but living in the NZ means that I'm a gazillion miles away from GenCon or anything of the like... buuut, I am currently ranked #1 amongst the little group of 17-18 of us (yes, we have a ranking system...) so I might be able to add somethin'...

100: I basically try new pieces and combos that I've been mulling over. It usually involves one central piece that I want to run and then I fit the rest of the folk around that. Its usually a big piece too. That kind of tactic is where we all are at the moment. The uber-construction of a squad without the use of an uber-character, we haven't quite got there yet...

150: I like using a couple of big pieces and commanders to augment it. Usually I approach a squad with a 'tactic' I'd like to play rather than a piece I'd like to play, and set it around that. We don't play much 150 at the mo, but I expect we'll be doing heaps more this year.

200: A bigger, freer version of 150... I try and get in a big piece, some smaller pieces with a ton of sting, a coupl'a commanders... in the end, its probably a hodge-podge of 100 and 150, my squad is constructed around a 'player' and a 'tactic'.

Anyhoo, that's the way we roll in the Hutt.

for 100 point squads id go with the old republic because they have cheap characters that arre insane like cay queldroma

at 150 i give it to rebels or yobuck

at 200 there are many combos out there i took my Power of the Gungan squad to regionals and took second
