Alpha Strike List Building Part 2 (300 Points, Late Succession Wars)

So i’ve been telling you guys that the Enraged Wookie and I are going to be playing some Alpha Strike games this coming week.  We’ve got a team game in the evening, where we split 500 points of hilarity.  We’ve also got a 300 point game, and a 150 point game earlier in the day where we’re going head to head.  I know he’s already decided on his list and isn’t planning on changing it (according to him, the potential list tailoring jerk).  This is the list i am probably going to play, and it fills a lot of my personal preferences for playing Alpha Strike.  Let’s take a closer look.

Drewbacca list building 3

So this is Drewbacca’s list with the units he’s planning on bringing and hopefully an idea of why.  

Now onto our finalist.(This is one of three lists he submitted for various things, It contains 2 Venoms, a Grasshopper, a Battlemaster, a Thunderbolt, and an Archer)

Alpha Strike Prep for the Day of DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Team Game)

So The Enraged Wookie and I are breaking loose over his spring break to visit a game shop near us.  We’re going to be playing 3 or so games of Alpha Strike at different point levels.  To our endless glee, we’re actually on a team for one of those games, and i thought i’d take a minute and break down our units, and show off just how list building works in this game.  We’re playing a game at 500 points, and have decided to split our points evenly (mostly) down the middle.  He tends to favor fast medium/heavy units and is tailoring his half of the list that way.  I’m going to favor an energy weapons heavy group that can stand off at range and put holes in things from Downtown.
