With the champs basically a week away, I thought it might be fun to make some guesses about what squads will show up. Of the 14 available seats, we have sold 11. I'm going to give myself a couple extra spots in case we get some late adds.

Here are my guesses for faction composition and squads in those factions. Please discuss or post yours below.

Old Republic. 3 (RPK, Nomi/Thon, Kana Terrid)
Sith. 2 (Tulak, Triumverate)
Republic 1 (something with a lot of movement, maybe Cin/Serra or similar)
Separatists 3 (San Hill, new Maul, something old school)
Rebels 1 (Heroes of Endor)
Imperials 1 (Thrawn's Forces)
New Republic 1 (Galactic Alliance and/or pilots)
Vong 0
Mandalorians (if there, will be a nontraditional squad, possibly independent outfit)
Fringe (see above. I expect a Talon squad, but make no faction prediction)

What do you all think?

Fringe pirates are top tier. I'm hoping this is the year.

I compiled the last two years (both GenCon and VassalCon, since it's usually a similar field) to see the trajectory.

Quote:
GenCon 2023 - 11 players
OR 1
Sith 4
Republic 0
Separatists 1
Rebels 0
Imperials 3
NR 1
Vong 0
Mandos 1
Fringe 0

VassalCon 2023 - 14 players
OR 1
Sith 5
Republic 1
Separatists 0
Rebels 0
Imperials 3
NR 0
Vong 1
Mandos 2
Fringe 1

GenCon 2024 - 13 players
OR 3
Sith 3
Republic 1
Separatists 1
Rebels 0
Imperials 1
NR 1
Vong 1
Mandos 2
Fringe 0

VassalCon 2024 - 13 players
OR 4
Sith 2
Republic 1
Separatists 0
Rebels 1
Imperials 0
NR 0
Vong 2
Mandos 1
Fringe 2


With those in mind, here's my predictions:
OR 3 (RevanPK, Army of Light, Wookiees)
Sith 2 (Tulak Hord, new Malak)
Republic 1 (Yoda MOTO, now with Jedi Armorer)
Separatists 2 (new Maul, both in a Nightsister build and with San Hill & Grievous)
Rebels 1 (Heroes of Endor)
Imperials 1 (classic Thrawn)
NR 1 (Laura's Galactic Alliance pilots)
Vong 0 (Most are hoping, I'm sure)
Mandos 1 (Spidermando with Talon Karrde)
Fringe 1 (Pirates, thanks adamb0nd for reminding me)

I look forward to being catastrophically wrong. Especially with the squad predictions, because at least a third of the squads will be ones that weren't on my radar as "good enough" (i.e. not things I would play or think of).

My Gen Con hopes were dashed with the addition of 2 new clients. I'm just too busy to make the trip. That being said,

Out of 11

2 OR: AOL and/or Thon
3 Sith: Tulok and/or new Malak
0 Rep
1 Sep: New Maul
2 Rebel: HoE Squads
1 Imp: Night Trooper
0 NR
0 Vong (I would have)
1 Fringe: Talon/Mandalorian
1 Mando: Mando's Ally

I'm just praying that someone plays Jar Jar Binks / Dark Lady / Huyang / Yoda MotO / Armourer / Yaddle...

Ah. Another squad I get credit for when someone else wins. Something there, though...
