I am guessing chris doesnt have cad bane. Jake ran that squad in 2011 but with less bombs, Lobot,Cad. He did really well with it.
I did do well with it, but wasn't able to bring it all together when it mattered most at gen con, having success at a few regionals is one thing, and the national championships at gen con is in a completely different boat. The squad I ran last year was
Nom
Cad
Carr
Yammosk
Lobot
Worker x12
Uggie
I looked at shimmra but never played with him. I opted for the big gun because of my experience with vong squads in the past. In the 2 shimmra matchups that I faced last year I dominated it because of the big gun. Lobot was the biggest part of the puzzle that made me have so much success with this squad. When I faced lancer squads that brought in treadwell droids I brought in a jawa scavenger, I was able to have a solution to every squad accept 1 that was the real bad matchup for this squad, which was Ig swarms, and as luck would have that was the matchup I faced the most at gen con. I brought in treadwells when needed and also the mtb and more gran raider bombs. This current version I see looks interesting but the mtb in the base squad worries me. If you run into a sep squad with San hill your in trouble as he will get reserves every round unless you blow up your mtb first round which then opens the door to a whole new set of problems, and of course lobot could cause problems for ya as well. Or the wonderful rakgoul trick to take out your bombs but glad to see vong still making it somewhere
