Shatterpoint: A Star Wars Story
Dueling Generals
The point of this game was to play a match between the four poorest tournament performers: General Veers, CT-9904, General Grievous, and Asajj Ventress. We thought it might be nice to see how they do when they’re not up against high performers. I wrote up a detailed turn-by-turn battle report for this game over at Goonhammer, so I’ll just post some highlights here.
Even though this particular match up was decided by tournament data and a gimmicky idea, the confrontation between these characters could make sense if things had gone just a little differently story-wise. Imagine that General Grievous hadn’t been killed in his fight with Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith, that Ventress never left the Separatists, and that CT-9904 (aka Crosshair) stayed loyal to the Empire instead of rejoining his brothers in the Bad Batch. With the Clone Wars effectively over, a young up-and-coming General Veers (maybe he’s just a lieutenant or something at this point) is sent to mop up the last of the Separatists, with Ct-9904’s elite squad as backup.
I like the game to tell a story.
The Imperial forces actually look pretty good on paper. CT-9904 is a bit of a lone wolf, with only one ability that helps his squad-mates and three that make his own attacks more effective. Veers, on the other hand, definitely does not lead from the front, with almost all of his abilities designed to give Stormtroopers extra moves and attacks.
The Separatist leaders are a lot more action oriented -- Grievous has a few abilities to keep his Battle Droids moving, but is mostly focused on diving into the thick of battle. Ventress is even more of a lone wolf, with no abilities at all that help out her Battle Droid squad. They'll have to rely on their twin Tactical Droids, Kraken and Kalani, to keep the droids moving.
As predicted, Kraken and Kalani managed to get themselves and the Battle Droids into good positions fairly quickly, although Kraken did end up out in the open where he later got hammered by CT-9904 and Firebrand (the Elite Squad Trooper with the flamethrower).
My opponent's Snowtroopers, on the other hand, were very good at using cover. They managed to creep through what should have been a kill corridor, eventually taking control of the left side of the board.
Thinking he was safe from Grievous, who had just activated, General Veers moved to the center of the board to take control of an objective. Alas, Grievous was able to activate again thanks to a Shatterpoint card, and delivered a devastating melee attack that left Veers wounded. It wasn't a fair fight at all -- Veers has low hit points and most of his abilities involve moving his troops around, whereas Grievous is a gigantic cyborg with four spinning lightsabers for arms...
The B1s aren't that impressive on their own, but once their fearless leader drops into the mix they did a good job of controlling objectives while Grievous used his high mobility to go wherever he was most needed. By the end of the game they had a pretty good synergy going.
Ventress is definitely a lone wolf. To be fair, this tower was swarming with Snowtroopers a moment ago, and she managed to single-handedly clear them all out -- it was a very cinematic moment.The Separatists won the game by way of the first and third struggle, I think mainly by virtue of their two leaders, Ventress and Grievous, who are a lot more melee combat oriented than Veers and CT-9904. Grievous seemed to strike a good balance between supporting his Battle Droids and being effective on his own, but his larger base made maneuvering him into tight spots a bit of a problem. Ventress did fine on her own as well, but didn’t work with her squad of Battle Droids at all — her low ranking could be down to not having a good squad to team up with.
My opponent managed to use the Snowtroopers and the Elite Squad Troopers pretty effectively, but Veers getting wounded early on (making his abilities more expensive to use) limited how much they could do. With his low hit point total making him so easy to wound, it’s not too hard to see why he’s not doing better in competitive play. I’m not really sure about CT-9904 yet, I don’t think he really got a chance to show us what he can do, at least not in this match.
