Monster Truck Mania!, part 2 (the Enemy)

Bantha poodoo!

I just heard back from my r1 opponent, @Bantha. We're doing this madness Wednesday. Maybe we can do it in one sitting, maybe not. He claims inexperience with Vassal, so maybe two sitting is more realistic. I'll make sure to record it and post a batrep.

Anyway, there is the list I'm up against: 800 points exactly of Motti ISDs, one ISD-2 with SAdv and two Cymoons, backed by a couple of Dictors. That's a LOT of hull to check through, 14 on each ISD and 11 on each Dictor. Taking out the Motti ISD is probably going to be impractical, so the only way is to go through all that hull. 

The Cymoons lack ECM fortunately. Already I miss Jonus - this was exactly the reason he was in the squadron setup in the first place. Told you I was going to miss him :-D They also miss reroll tech, except IF!, so let's hope he's not like me when it comes to throwing red dice!

His Dictors have G7-Xs, two between them, so he'll be able to make me start at speed 0. That's pretty much irrelevant vs my Tarkin list. Tarkin can just hand out Nav tokens, and every ship can be at speed 3 (2 for the Chimaera) immediately. His Grav Shift can mess with my objectives though - it's going to be tug of war :-)

He's got 143 points of rogues in there. I can't wait to see how they compare with my Quasar-commanded squadrons. He should be able to do some damage, but between my brace escorts and ability to Flight Controller all 12 of my squads I think I have the edge.

We're tied for the bid... exactly ZERO points between the both of us. With these fleets and equal activation I'm good with being both 1st and 2nd player. I mean 1st is always nice, but I would like to play my objectives and have the last activations. So I think I'm good either way!
