Tourney, night one results.


Tourney, night one results.

First match was against Whisper, a Bounty Hunter Firespray, and Backstabber.
The firespray came into range first, and I did some damage. Backstabber was going around for a flank, and Whisper was moving up behind the firespray.
On turn 4, instead of switching to Whisper, I kept on the Firespray, which was my mistake for that match. I managed to take down the Bounty Hunter, but Whisper and Backstabber took my squad apart.
Lesson: I should have switched targets to Whisper and focus fired through the cloak advantage, removing 4 attack dice from the table.

Second match was against Corran Horn in an EWing and Dash Rendar in the Outrider. I took Corran out quickly, but was nibbled to death by Dash, flying the perimiter of the board and using his turret advantage.
Lesson: Split up the squad, pursue with the fast fighters, the Z-95 and the X-Wing, and use the B-Wing and Y-Wing to cut through the center of the board and cut off the large ship as it tries to fly the perimiter.

X-Wing miniatures


I've got a decent start on X-Wing miniatures, and have played a few games in-between Warmachine.
Tomorrow I'll be joining a local tourney with this list.

Garven Dreis — X-Wing   26

"Dutch" Vander — Y-Wing   23
Ion Cannon Turret   5
R2 Astromech   1

 Airen Cracken — Z-95 Headhunter   19
Wingman   2

 Blue Squadron Pilot — B-Wing   22
Fire-Control System   2

The schtick is to maximize the amount of focused, target locked shots per turn. We'll see how it goes.
