I'm gathering up casual lists I like and pondering on what I should bring to Campaign Against Cancer.

Lists that are on my mind right now are below. I'll probably think of more. The first four (or minor variations) are in battle reports above.

Phantom Pain

No direct relation to Vagrant Story or Metal Gear. I love the quizzical looks I get when I put two TIE Phantoms and a Decimator on the board. It's kind of a gamble, as picking apart delicate ships and 0-agility decimators is some fleets' specialty, but it's fun to fly and most people don't believe me when I say it can be strong.

Sunny 3x5

This is the list where, by absurd luck, Sunny rolled 5 hits 3 rounds in a row. Odds are extremely poor that I'll ever do it again, but I still love the list. Bumpmaster Manaroo is an excellent support to HLC scyks.

Bombs Are Cheating

If you bring bombs to the table, clearly you're cheating. Once you start launching them, you're double-cheating. Boosting first to aim is just show-boating, and you should stop. ;)  I like this list's gimmick, but man is it feast or famine.  If I land thermal detonators on my foe, they're in terrible trouble.  Cluster mines are strong too.  Sabine makes everything stronger.  But if bombs should fail to carry the day, this list suffers from a real lack of teeth.

Kath Joins The Borg

IG-88C has added a Bosting, Evading Kath to the collective. It's a derpy, kinda delicate list, but it's fun to use.

Biggs Dead; Nera Sad

My old Biggs + APT Nera + Jan fleet that I flew at (I think) the last CAC, but with Biggs replaced with Lowhhrick as though that will fill the gaping hole in Nera's heart. And defense strategy. Nera and Jan are so, so delicate. But when this list lands its nukes, oh man do they land HARD! It's so much fun making it work. And I love the obscenity of the unknowns. Who uses Squad Leader? Who flies HWKs? I do, apparently.
