here it is

GGDAC-57
IG-Lancer droid-31
Darth Sidiouse-36
battle droid officer-9
Mouse droidsX2-6
IG-86(cw)-17
Geonosian overseer-16
Security battle droid-8
Lobot CLO-15
Uggie Demo-3

-198-


first off the Lancer gets 2 turns doing +18 for 40 each this will wipe out pretty much all GOWK reinforcements, and maybe even hit GOWK himself

than once GOWK has moved the IG-86 is at a +21 for 120 this is very useful for taking him out, and it will usually do around 1-0 hits but wasting 1-2 of his FP's at a time,

the security BD is for if he hasnt gone, and the mouses are for getting in the way when his support is actually still living

Lobot is for door control and getting Dash Rendar(ie) in there or an IG-86 and something else if its needed

and the uggie is for extra door control

and Sid is there so you can Pawn the Lancer or do auto damage to GOWK and so that Grievous when he misses can reroll at least 1 miss.



I played this squad vs a few GOWK squads and it beat all(note I was playtesting against my self and played both teams equally hard)


I know that he is probably going to get banned but if he doesnt this is still a good anti-GOWK squad

nah, killing off most of his squad support with the lancer and he isnt going to save every SSM because the thing about GGDAC squads is they have high attack and damage output there really isnt much that GOWK could do about it.

but just the opposite could happen to GOWK squads, dash and rex and all other support could be wiped out in 1 round to,

and if rex wants a clean shot he'd have to get in the open and get activated opening it up for the IG-86 to dump on whoever wants to get near. or in site.

but they have low hp, it would be up to who goes first for the win really, because 24-48 squares is easy to go through.

it would be close,

and besides there is no such thing as completely perfect,

but most of the time when I play tested this squad vs GOWK it usually won

actually its 80 damage, but I was talking about dash, r2, rex, they would die from that 80 damage at a +18, and they are well worth the points if my lancer does go down

He's talking about Sidious' Pawn ability.

Half of what he posts suggests he is unclear on more than just that.

You are telling me with a straight face that a squad with 1 quality attacker besides the Lancer (the IG) and a situational attacker (Sidious) and a really overcosted melee figure if being used a fighter (Grievous) can really stand up to a 200 point GOWK squad?

GOWK isn't tier 1 at 200, most people can agree to that so clearly he is lacking in that respect, other than that I would say the OP clearly shows little knowledge of GOWK or what is commonly run with him.

I would love to see what even a single JWM could do vs that let alone the two or three some versions have in 200.

Actually, if you use Strafe during movement, you must attack any character you move through. Just FYI...

That's where you're wrong, which explains why you're not understanding the flaws in your squad. Although Strafe Attack is an optional ability, once you begin using it (which you must declare at the start of your move), you cannot stop using Strafe Attack until you've finished moving. If you want to strafe one piece, you have to strafe them all. Its that simple.


Its hard to argue that a piece wont cause troubles or problems with your squad, if you haven't got a clue on what the piece does. The Jedi Weapon Master is (and has been) one of the top jedi in the Republic faction as well as the game for the past two years. Add in GOWK and you've got 2-3 force-sensitive tanks (which is common for a 200 point Republic squad) to plow through enemy forces.

If you're ever interested in a test run of your squad, feel free to get on VASSAL and we can play a couple games. If you don't have VASSAL or cant get it to run, just send me a Bloomail and we can set up a day and time!

Edit: Ninja'd.

Whalaa... (quick forum search of "strafe optional" got this)

Post #3 is what you are looking for...

(Also, notice post #12 as to why Gallop is different)

Now...you can just move around the characters you don't want to attack, just eats up movement that you might need.
