Romodi Onager vs Agate Starhawk

I brought Romodi on a Testbed Onager, an EST/LTT Arquittensn and a pair of Gozantis with Hondo/Vader and Comms Net. My squadron ball consisted of Maarek/Jendon, Boba, Tel, Dengar, Mauler, and Black Squadron. On the other side, Andy brought a Starhawk with a pair of GR75s and a Rogue ball. Andy had the bid and took second. I picked his Contested Outpost. Here is the opening of round 1:

In the first round, I stripped some shields from the front of the Starhawk and dropped to speed 0 with my Onager. Here is the opening of round 2:

In the second round, I tied up some of his squadron while hitting the Starhawk with Maarek, Jendon, and Boba. Here is the opening of round 3:

In the third round, I continued to hammer the Starhawk with Boba and Jendon as well as the Starhawk (now throwing black dice) and the Arquittens. The Starhawk was taking on some hull damage at this point. Here is the opening of round 4:

In the fourth round, I activated the Arquittens first and brought the Starhawk down to just a few hull remaining. Andy was able to destroy the Gozanti that obstructed the Starhawk and Onager. The Onager then finished the Starhawk off pretty handily which resulted in a solid win for the Imperials.

Andy was trying to drop the Arquittens to speed zero and kill it early, hence he lingered a bit too long at speed 1. This let me wait him out while putting in a solid amount of damage. I think if he had approached at a consistent speed 2, he would have been able to power through my Arquittens and deliver some punishment to the Onager. I’m not sure if it would have been sufficient for the win, but it would have been much closer. Furthermore, Contested Outpost is a weak objective as it forces the 2nd player into an unfavorable position relative the Onager.
