3-Player 300-Point Deathmatch!

This was a really interesting 3-Player match. We decided to forgo Admirals and to run 300-point fleets. We played the contested outpost and used the bid to determine player deployment zones. I brought an MC75, TRC90, GR75, and some rogue squadrons. Andy, opposite me, brought a Hammerhead-heavy MSU with Shara/Tycho. Anthony, between us, brought a Harrow-titled Victory 1, Demolisher, Corvus-titled Raider 1, and a bunch of generic fighters. He had reserve hanger decks on both the Victory and Raider. Here is the opening of round 1:

Here is the opening of round 3:

At the opening of the third round, I was able to destroy both Demolisher with my MC75 front arc as well as the Raider with my side arc. Both had been softened up in the previous round. Here is the opening of round 4:

In the fourth round, I just barely rammed my CR90 with the MC75, forcing me back to close range of the Victory. That cost me big time. Here is the opening of round 5:

In the fifth round, Andy lost three hammerheads, I lost my MC75, and Anthony lost his Victory. It was a blood-bath. We called the game at that point with a clear victory for myself. It was a lot of fun, though Anthony had a very hard time of it being essentially sandwiched between two opposing fleets. Here was my complete fleet:

Thrawn Victory vs Reeikan MSU

For this game, I brought a Thrawn Victory, Quasar-2 (with Kallus and Ruthless Strategists), Arquittens, and a large squadron component. On the other side, Andy brought a Reeikan MSU with Pelta, three hammerheads, a pair of GR75s, and a small squadron component. I took first and select Rift Assault. Here is the opening of round 1:

Here is the opening of round 2:

Here is the opening of round 3:

Here is the opening of round 4:

In the fifth round, I was unable to command squadrons thanks to slicers/Cham and so could not finish off either the Pelta or remaining hammerhead. My Quasar was destroyed during this round as well. We called the game at that point, giving Andy a 6-5 victory. Andy challenged me to use the Quasar 2 in a fleet and so I did, but the Kallus/ruthless flak never really contributed because of obstruction. Single dice flak, even at red range tends to operate sub-optimally. Here is my complete list:
