Sector 47: A Star Wars Armada Saga

Separatist Hot Takes  Ok, we got our first preview article for the upcoming Wave 10 for both the Separatists and the Republic. This article will focus on the droid friendly ships coming our way this April.  We have the Providence Dreadnaught and the Recusant Destroyer, both are large ships.  As a disclaimer, some of this is wild speculation but I'll do my best to delineate what is wild guesses, educated inference, and known facts.  So now, we'll jump right into the starting ship... Revealed Cards Surprise! I thought we should start with the revealed cards before we go into the more speculative section about each individual ship.  We're going to begin with putting on our small tinfoil conspiracy cap.  So, if you copy the images to your computer (perhaps to reupload them in a blog) you will notice an interesting tidbit with the file names for all revealed cards.  General Grievous is titled as 'SWM42_grievous' and the Providence Dreadnaught arc layout is also SWM42.  I

 Game 4 The Clone Wars Tournament rages on.  With a grand total of 22 Tournament Points I somehow scrambled my way to second place in the Euro division of the Clone Wars Tournament.  From here the Swiss rounds are over and we were going to Sudden Death, or rather elimination rounds.  Now you could play the game and go for a bare minimum of kills in order to win and keep eeking by, but we're here for Clone on Droid action and I would do my best to win while still having fun and playing the game of Star Wars Armada.  Gotta push those plastic spaceships around and throw dice, even if they're virtual.   For the next round I was paired up with PT106 who was cruising into the round with a solid 22 Tourney points as well.  I was surprised I made it this far but I was having fun and learning new Clone wars stuff every game.  PT106 was also rolling in with some Acclamators and C70s, so it'd be some Clone on Clone action.  Without further ado, let's hop to the lists. PT 106's

 Game 3 of the Vassal Clone Wars I rolled into Round 3 still at the virtual table 3, still riding my coattails from the Round 1 victory and licking my round 2 wounds.  Pretty sure I was only here because everyone else is still figuring out Clone Wars and eager to shoot each other as there have been lots of bloodbaths where lots of things die and the end score is 6-5.  Part of that may be due to the fact that the defense tokens of the Medium CW ships are only 66% about keeping them alive.  The other 33% of their 'defense' tokens are about hurting the enemy. Therefore, maybe more ship die than we're completely used to. For this match I was paired up with none other than Green Knight himself, the brainchild behind the entire Clone Wars Tournament and also the superpower who pushed Vassal into the Clone Wars era.  GK is quite the good Armada player and brought a very Janky Obi-Wan flavored list.  If you haven't been keeping tabs on the lists, his list is below for your peru
