Brutally effective list.  Far more than I thought it would be honestly.  Thweek was insanely good.  Arc dodging is a really powerful thing these days.  Both he and Fenn Rau were absolute rock stars doing that.  Turns out they hit like wet noodles when they have to spend their actions dodging.  This is the “common wisdom” that you’ll hear on the podcasts.  True.  But I’d add that “If you are the ONLY offence, it is the best one”.  Takes a bit longer to kill things barring extreme variance, but… Still, being the only one shooting makes you the best shooter at that time.  Results reflected this I think.  The Kimogila with the Harpoon missile was the obvious threat on the flank, Fenn Rau rushed right at them and the Viper went in and did work as a knife fighter.  Over the course of 3 games I lost one ship.  Fenn got blocked at Range 2 and blanked out on his Agility dice.  Kulda was solid, and the Barrel Roll is insanely powerful on the heavy fighter…
