Of the top three squads, 29/41 listed pieces are from WOTC.

Felucian!!!!

"Three Kings" and "Rubber Duck"... those squad names are amazing!

Or whatever, ya know

OR currently can't keep up with Republic, not the other way around. Every good squad has some type of "act control". That means you have some way of gaining an activation advantage over your opponent. Seps, Rebels, New Republic and Imperials have the most obvious examples in San Hill, Dodanna and Ozzel.

The less obvious ones are anything that has the ability to kill a lot of pieces in one go. Strafe, Gallop and Furious Accurate are presently some of the best examples in that category. These elements, when played well, can be just as good as the tech pieces if not better. I think if anyone had played a squad with panaka and yobuck they could have made top 6...

Ooooh. They only need to be played well.... Because they weren't played well?

And top 6....

Everyone keeps talking top 6 or top 8.
Who cares?

Like I said making it close but always losing doesn't mean much.

Like the clippers. They made it to the semi-finals quite a few times but Chris Paul never felt like a real contender.
Look at Boston Celtics last year. They were number 1 in East made it to the Eastern conference finals. Did anyone think they ever had a chance? Of course not (or they were dreaming).

The difference between being competitive and actually having a chance to win is just as big in the factions of minis.


Republic competes but can't win.

Mace had no reason to win. Bad design allowed him to kill corran Horn from a riposte..... Never should have won.

I am glad it has won in the past. When was the other non mace win?

Here is the squad I nearly beat him with in swiss, but lost to in the final seconds, as he tow cabled Boba, right into the middle of my swarm, and flamethrowered a plethora of my assassins, to beat me at the buzzer!

I have the standings after swiss posted and will be posting the remaining squads later on this evening, hopefully :)
