I feel like I would win this with the hands of the Sith Inquisitor. I'd have to play it very carefully, but the goal would be to grip GGHoH and take him over to use Spinning Blade Attack on his own team. Master Tactician gives me the edge in initiative so I can use Revan to Deal a large amount of damage at the start of a round, especially if I can position Bandon at the end of the previous round to utilize the +10 damage. Jodo and Han have evade to last longer, and if GGHoH comes close Jodo can use Virulent Poison Dart for a large amount of hard to block damage. My plan would be to play smart to stay out of the way of his shooters if possible.

Freight Train Station isn't on restricted, right?

Sith Inquisitor is pretty vulnerable to accurate shot.

Those BXs could do some serious damage. I feel like it would simply be too easy for spry to hold back Grievous until the BXs are in danger, at which point Revan & company will have taken enough damage to be in trouble. I'm voting for Scum and Villainy.

Scum and Villainy.

Sorry didn't realize what the restricted map list actually was. I feel that on a balanced map, my squad wouldn't have much ability to stand up against the damage output of spry's squad. After seeing that this was the squad he'd created, I didn't figure I had much of a chance anyway with the squad I'd built. ;)

Agreed, Grievous and the BXs is the best squad in this whole competition my opinion. Simple but deadly

After running BXs in numbers for the first time myself recently, it's hard to argue with their sheer destruction. On top of that, Spry has some useful door control from the Uggie and Squib, and Grievous/Shada/Zam are nasty 'backup', with Shada being key in the sense that she can die instead of one of the major players.

But then, CBF has init control via Revan as well as a handy swap to make the game interesting. But Jodo and Han are pretty limited by the BX Spotter (Jodo can use his dart though, of course), and the sheer range of the BX group I feel would be too devastating to overcome.

Would be a VERY interesting game I think, but my vote goes to S&V

I ran a test of this and surprisingly got very different results than I expected.

Played on Asteroid Base. DOTF set up on left with the main beats in the middle and everyone else not far away. SV set up hiding grevious and everyone else kinda protected by the Spotter with the 2 randoms hidden away. Intuitioned up in a group (but no LOS), then shot the door. Exar activated his thing and moved up. Jodo moved to hold the door open (evade), han and REvan behind him (well out of LOS), Inquisitor stayed quite well hidden building up force, Salacious stays hidden and mikto moves up behind the wall but out of sight at the moment. Bandon hides by Revan. Droids move to Gambit with Shada backup, Zam moves up a little and grevious still stays away fearing the inquisitor. Rd 2 SV gets gambit

Rd 3. Revan burns 2 force to master speed and assault and takes out a sniper that wasn't protected by Shada then swaps to the nikto. Shada kills him and then Sniper shoots at Revan with a spotter and revan misses the defense and takes 50. Jodo now runs up into the middle of the group Shada 1 square up, spotter to the right, and the 2 remaining snipers below and then below and to the right (adjacent to the spotter). And Bandon runs up 6 and grips the spotter (probably the worst choice). Inquisitor moves up to where Revan had been before (around the corner well hidden), Han moves up to by where Revan is now, Exar moves up and Salacious had to open the door to let Han out. Last Sniper drops 30 on Jodo, Zam doesn;t get through evade and Grevious moves up so he can try and get to Revan. Gambit for both

Rd 4. Jodo Goes first and kills a second sniper (cunning and Bandon's CE) then immediately dies to the third sniper and spotter. Grevious then goes and does his thing and hits han for 40 and hits/misses revan needing 8s and revan uses his last FP to Defense it and makes it so still at 80. Revan gets 30 through parry then swaps in Bandon, then Han does 40 to Greivous with Longshot and BAndon's CE. Shada Comes in and finishes off Han and the Zam drops 20 on Bandon. Bandon grips Han down to 30, Inquisitor pops out and finishes off Grevious and then Salacious lets the door close. Squib and Ugo move up.

Rd 5.
DOTF chooses not to go first. Droids shoot at Revan and Revan Defenses. Then Revan moves and drops 80 on Zam, swaps with Bandon who finsishers her off. Shada comes in and hits Bandon down to 70. Ugo shoots and misses and veryone else just hides. Gambit 5 to 2.

Rd 6. Revan runs in and finishes off the spotter. Sniper drops 30 on REvan (down to 50), Bandon and Shada are duking it out. Inquisitor still hiding building up force. Salacious opens the door.

Rd 7. Revan takes out the last sniper, Shada finishes off Bandon and somehow manages to live through what should have been a death riposte, then dies to the inquisitor popping to finish her off. Gambit now 6 to 4 game over on gambit but well in hand



So, to wrap up, DOTF wins. In analyzing the match the Master Tactician is huge and the fact that most of the guys are killable by Revan with Cunning and Assault combined with the fact that the lines on Asteroid base aren't very long at all meaning that the Seps have to be pretty close negating their biggest advantage. The real issue here is that the Snipers don't have double and still need pretty high numbers to hit and the seps can;t bring greivous out early because of the inquistior. I think Chewbacca had it right when he said he can win this match because without grevious DOTF wins and if you bring grevious out you just get gripped and have to attack your own squad (save 15 with Exar so not great odds). The fact that almost the whole squad has stealth actually hurts in this instance as Grevious is the only target.

On other maps with longer lines or a harder to cross gambit (jabba's palace, rancor pen, ruined base, etc) I think the game could play out different but since Spry chose asteroid base I just played on that.

Interesting play reports. I'm going to retract my vote for now.
