First, yay for the site returning ^^

Secondly, I've a 200 point tourny coming up, and Mandalorian's are both my favorite army, and the one i best understand tactics with. (I'm terrible with melee pieces =/) However, I can't quite decide amung to slightly different armies, and would in general be interested in any advice to be had.

The two options are:
[spoiler="--IE Mandalorians--"]57 Boba Fett, Mercenary Commander
23 Mandalorian Captain
57 Mandalorian Scout x3
17 Mandalorian Gunslinger
15 Lobot, Computer Liaison Officer
13 Mandalorian Commando
5 Caamasi Noble
6 Mouse Droid x2
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2
(199pts. 13 activations)

OR

[spoiler="--Entangled Mandolorians--"]57 Boba Fett, Mercenary Commander
26 Mandalorian Quartermaster
23 Mandalorian Captain
38 Mandalorian Scout x2
17 Mandalorian Gunslinger
15 Lobot, Computer Liaison Officer
13 Mandalorian Commando
5 Caamasi Noble
3 Mouse Droid
3 Ugnaught Demolitionist
(200pts. 11 activations)

Mostly it boils down to the decision over whether or not to use the quartermaster, and what tactics to best use him, or if their are other ideas out there.

Additionally, if i still manage to have your attention, I'd be very interested in map selection and set up tactics, since that is probably my weakest point of the game right now. Then again, it looks like the only maps I have legal for 200 are: Ruined Base, Broken Christophsis, and Freight Transit Station (Just realized I lost or missplaced my Massassi Temple/Rancor pit map, and my Mos Eisley map x_x) However the store also has some maps there which i may beable to borrow for the tournament to if you have suggestions.

Thanks

well your map should be taris i think. i have an extra i should be there saturday but things might change. matt and billiv will be there i think they have the map too. the funny think is i was thinking of running mandos saturday but my squad is just a test squad i pmed you my squad. i like old lobot since you can bring in things you need not hoping for a 11. then you can max acts with lobot if needed. you build a 12 base squad then with lobot it can be 18 if needed. with the extra 8 pts you can bring in wicket. noblesx2 are needed if your using taris since its an open gambit map.my squad has zero but i can bring in 2 with lobot if needed. you should be able to run 3 scouts and the quartermaster if you want. i dont like going all scouts tho. what about droping the commando for a marauder 15pts thats if you have the extra 2 points to work with. ill have to think about your squad more.

Of those two squads, I would definitely go with the first one. I've never found that the Quartermaster was THAT necessary. The Scouts and Gunslingers are already pretty decent without the extra +4. The Quartermaster does make a nice melee interference piece though, so that can be good.

I would also consider the Czerka as an option still though. Giving Boba Jolt is awesome, IMO, and having a 2nd way to give your other Mandos Twin is nice against an opponent with Disruptive.
It seems pretty decent overall though. And don't forget to pack along a TBSV for Lobot's Reserves either. Can give your Gunslinger Greater Mobile.

Watch out for Loda.

jeff that is like saying watch out for mandos and im playing vong jh. you cant counter all squads thats why you hope the squads that are going to give you trouble fall early or you just dont have to play them. if you have to play them you have to out play them and or get lucky. its the same with poker there are just some guys you just dont want to play against.
