Yammosk (I never got to steal a ce all tourney)
And yeah, I almost played Vong in my recent tourney...Charging Assault is superb for them, and they're a lot of fun to use. The OR would just eat them alive though.
How's that? ABM is useless against them. I played OR and I feared Vong. It's a LOT of meat to work through
That's true, there's a lot of beef. However, with accurate Furious Assault, there's also a LOT of damage going out to hit a lot of the vong pieces before they can even close the distance. Once you've got a decent number of the Vong pieces in LOS, you run Zuckuss in and sacrifice him to glue them to the floor for that round. Then Boba and Mira each do 60dmg (with ABM), that's 120dmg on whatever they can see, 80 if the vong make all their armor saves. That'll kill all the JHs and Ossus Guardians straight out. Czulkang and Tsavong are tough, but they won't last forever. It just seems to me like the melee restriction will continue to hinder them against a heavy-shooting squad...especially when the shooting squad can run 12 away and then shoot. And even when the vong do close in, Hoth's CE gives the OR an extra 10 dmg against adjacent enemies.
The map would make a difference, but it seems to me--at least from a distance--that the OR would have a strong advantage in that matchup (I'd guess 70/30). I haven't played the matchup, but those are my initial impressions anyway.
And by the way, this is assuming a build of Hoth/Bastilla, BobaBH, Mira, ZuckussBH, and then filler and CEs to boost (possibly Kavar, or Crusader/Malak/Revan, whatever suits). It's the squad I almost played in PA this weekend. In 500pts, the OR can really spam on Hoth's CE to produce some insane damage output.
Am I misreading or misunderstanding something in my analysis? It's still a new-ish format, so it's very possible that I still don't know how to read the meta for it.
