Been playing Star Wars for maybe a month now. I really like the strategy, the tactics, and the luck is always fun to laugh at. As for the gameplay, I try to think about my moves, keep my characters together, keep my characters alive...

Until I feel pressured for one reason or another. Then I get hasty, make a mistake, see the mistake, pay for the mistake, and yeah. I'll end up hiding when I should rush, charging the enemy when it's not safe, or splitting my forces and end up watching them slowly die one by one.

I'm hoping with more experience I can get better. Maybe...

Jawas... lots and lots of jawas!!!

But in more seriousness, I normally play something that I'm going to have fun with. Only at a competitive tournament will I try and bring a good squad. Other than that, I tend to go with what I feel like playing.

Sincerely,

My builds basically start with a piece or faction I have not used in a while. Then build what meshes well from there. Sometimes I try to compose two sub-squads with synergy within the group so I can split forces and create two fronts without losing CEs and whatnot.

I used to rush a lot more in battle, but have slowed down the advance with more strategic attacks along the way. I still try to move quickly, but not always 12 straight ahead. Patience often pays. In the end, I want to be happy with what I did and not regret a totally stupid move. I don't think I have a predictable style of play since it depends on what pieces I am using.

I love scenarios and special build restrictions as well. Good variety in the game then. I do play casual and competitive mixed throughout the year to keep things fresh and sharp.

As mickey said my number 1 reason is to have fun. But at the same time use some strategy. I usualy watch the map alot thinking a few moves ahead. When my opponent is taking his turn i look carefully at where all of his figures & my figures are in place & usualy think about a few scenario's for each one, if it were to get moved a certain way. I say when your taking your turn, take your time & think before you move. A good player is gonna calculate exactly the move you make & have a counter to it, so i say think outside the box alot.

Everyone plays to win intiative, but dont count on you winning it. Think of 2 senario's to where if you win or lose. Try to think of what your opponent is gonna do. I also while moving like to think up combo's of figures i can use on one turn, like hit this guy with jolt then use this figure to hit him with opp. Stuff in that sort.

Everyone plays different & its hard in telling how your opponent is gonna play. For example is theres a simple thing he can do, think of that simple thing but also think of an out of the ordinary thing he can do as well.

Also after seeing your opponents squad, determain what figures you have in play that would match up good against your opponents figures & attack with that. Lol and ewok warrior has no buisness attacking GMLS unless you wanna base him & force him to attack it instead. Billv said it the best that basically if you hate a piece, or having trouble beating a piece then know that pieces weaknesses. Basically studying & knowing most of the rules & the figures in the game, then you wont be surprised by anything. Its hard to put into words a strategy, but that pretty much sums up how i play.

Also 1 more thing. " NEVER RELY ON RESERVES " lol..

The GGDAC and IG-86 combo is really my strategy at it's best. I'm terrible at strategizing with weaker pieces that have a ton of abilties or squads based around them (Speedy Cannon, Run&Gun, ect...). Basically, I get pieces out there that are hard to hit, need low numbers to hit, and hit hard. I also like to have tempo control to out-activate my opponent, which will give me more chances to shoot at them multiple times.
Firepower! Unlimited Firepower!!
That's why the Seperatist team really compliments my strategy.
The nice thing about my strategy is that I can win rather easily when my opponent is basing a lot of their squad around one or two power pieces (Example: Vader of any kind, powerful Sith lords, powerful Jedi that aren't GOWK, and such). If they stay out in the open for too long and I'm able to shoot them, their hit points go down fast. And as soon as those power pieces are gone, the rest of the squad falls apart.
On the negative side for my strategy, I rely heavily on commander effects to boost the rest of my squad. If those disappear, my squad becomes much weaker and easier to beat.

I'm gonna start using a six sider for attacks, since I can't roll higher than a 6 anyway

Diplomat cage. I've always wanted to try that.

I play for fun...although I tend to have more fun when I win.

I really like mobility and using strong combos either in SA's or CE's (or both). Balance between melee and non is good.

please no more. to have fun comments because i didnt ask why you play ( for me its fun ) how you play so wat ae your tactics

I play defensively (too many games against Mandalorians and Seperatists who hardly need to bother rolling attack dice ). I like squads that can be downright impossible to kill if the dice favour me. Therefore, I use characters with built-in defences, such as Shado Vao or Jarael, and I use defensive commanders like General Wedge, General Rieekan, and Leia Skywalker quite a bit. If a character doesn't have some way to defend itself, or can't be given some way to defend itself, then it has to have something huge going for it before I'll even consider using it. I also like Tempo Control a lot, since it (usually) lets me set up my attacks in almost complete safety. I usually use Rebel or New Republic since they have the best defensive tricks in the game (such as the aforementioned Rieekan and Wedge ).

I play what sometimes appear as fun teams, but once the game starts, I'm constantly putting pressure on my opponent(s), forcing them to be unsure of their movements & eventually causing a mistake.
