How do the following squads look for a 6 player tournament? Do any squads look a lot stronger or weaker than all the others? Any auto-wins or auto-losses among the match-ups? --Chewie (6 player tournament)-- 44 Luke Skywalker, Hero of Endor 38 Chewie 20 Princess Leia 14 General Rieekan 5 Rebel Trooper 3 Mouse Droid (124pts. 6 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181536/chewie--6-player-tournament---Darth Plagueis (6 player tournament)-- 60 Darth Plagueis, The Wise 20 Sith Trooper Captain 18 Gloom Walker Sniper 10 Sith Operative 16 Sith Trooper x2 (124pts. 6 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181540/darth-plagueis--6-player-tournament---Jango Fett (6 player tournament)-- 47 Jango Fett, Assassin 20 General Whorm Loathsom 18 Twi'lek Black Sun Vigo 16 IG-100 MagnaGuard 16 Security Battle Droid x2 6 Mouse Droid x2 (123pts. 8 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181539/jango-fett--6-player-tournament---Han and C-3PO (6 player tournament)-- 46 Han Solo, Scoundrel 28 General Lando Calrissian 21 Jon "Dutch" Vander 11 Crimson Fury Pilot 6 C-3PO 10 Tantive IV Trooper x2 3 Ugnaught Demolitionist (125pts. 8 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181535/han-and-c-3po--6-player-tournament---Mace Windu (6 player tournament)-- 65 Master Windu 32 Agen Kolar, Jedi Master 25 Republic Commando Fi 3 Rodian Brute (125pts. 4 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181587/mace-windu--6-player-tournament---Boba Fett (6 player tournament)-- 50 Boba Fett, Assassin for Hire 22 Stormtrooper Sniper 20 Admiral Piett 30 Stormtrooper x6 3 Mouse Droid (125pts. 10 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181538/boba-fett--6-player-tournament-EDIT: And one more. --Boba MC (6 player tournament)-- 57 Boba Fett, Mercenary Commander 24 Crusader Blademaster 19 Mandalorian Scout 17 Mandalorian Gunslinger 8 Taung Warrior (125pts. 5 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181595/boba-mc--6-player-tournament-

If you've looked, you'll notice that the Master Windu squad is pretty weak. That's intentional. The others should all be pretty evenly matched. Which one do you think is strongest?
The tournament will be me (I'll take Master Windu) and 5 essentially brand new players. A couple have played once or twice before a long time ago. Second question, then, is whether the squads are too complicated for players to play them after just 30-45 minutes of a learning game.

Chewie: Looks good, Walking Carpet might be a little hard to remember, and I wouldn't expect them to use Versatility.
Plagueis: Looks great; Plagueis has a lot going on that may not all get used, but as long as they have the important parts down (Double/Twin, Lightning, CE), it looks like a great starter squad (way to use Sith Troopers, too!)
Jango: Looks good!
Han and 3PO: Lots of neat tricks, but pretty simple. Looks good.
Master Windu: Nice and straightforward - I don't think they'll have to think too hard about what be on the lookout for from your squad. Looks great.
Boba Fett: Looks good!

Thanks for the feedback!
Looks like we're good to go, then.

Feels like the Plagueis squad should do well against the shooter squads, but there's a melee squad with undeniable damage that will cause it massive problems. Looks like a fun set up.

Hm. Just checked Plagueis' card and Soresu Style is not spelled out. That may make it too much for a new player.

The rest of the squad is pretty simple. I just added another squad - Mandalorian squad with Boba, Mercenary Commander. How does it look? For each of these squads I asked players their favorite Star Wars character and built a squad for them. Two different players chose Boba. I don't want two Assassin for Hire in the tournament, and I also don't want Disintegration in the tournament. So I went this route: --Boba MC (6 player tournament)-- 57 Boba Fett, Mercenary Commander 24 Crusader Blademaster 19 Mandalorian Scout 17 Mandalorian Gunslinger 8 Taung Warrior (125pts. 5 activations)

Tournament kicks off in just a few hours. Last chance to fix anything if you have any suggestions for overpowered or underpowered squads.

Instead of Plagueis: --Darth Maul (125pt Tournament)-- 57 Darth Maul, Sith Infiltrator 20 Sith Trooper Captain 18 Gloom Walker Sniper 13 Gloom Walker Infiltrator 16 Sith Trooper x2 (124pts. 6 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181836/darth-maul--125pt-tournament-And to get to 8, add the Mace squad above and add this one: --Luke and Rey (125pt Tournament)-- 48 Luke Skywalker, Galactic Hero 29 Ganner Rhysode 25 Rey 18 Jedi Trainee 5 Galactic Alliance Recruit (125pts. 5 activations) http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/181840/luke-and-rey--125pt-tournament-Any guesses on standings for the 8-player tournament?

Luke and Rey was the winning squad in last night's tournament. I'll try to do a longer write up later.
