X-wing: MK Regionals

So yesterday, it was a return to x-wing (first time since the MK store championships)
(Also thanks to my lovely girlfriend, who let me text her all the information all day, once again she had no idea what anything meant)

My list
3x Blue Pilots with Advanced sensors
1x Rookie with R2D2, everyone said I should of run Biggs, but running R2D2, paid off, I got a awesome photo :)

Anyway. Here is a quick highlight of the day (Sorry Forgot a few names)

Game 1-
Against-
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Shuttle, Vader

Now to be 100% honest I don't remember much from this game, except he made a mistake and didnt use Vader to finish off my rookie, which meant it zoomed off to heal up on its shields, and most of the game involed my b-wings chasing the two bounty hunters around.
Full Win :)

Game 2-
Against-
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

Howlrunner, Determination 

Soontir fel, PTL, Targeting Computer

This was a good game, he made a mistake with Soontir fel and put the ship in front of all 4 of mine, which meant boom, dead sontir, and after that it was pick off the ties time, as soon as I got a couple of ties down and howlrunner down, it was game over, good game tho :)

Full Win

Game 3-

Against Neil

Hwk, ion turret

Hwk, ion turret

Blue Pilot, HLC

Blue Pilot, HLC

I was not looking forward to this game, ions and HLCs would rip through my B-wings, but as the game turned out, my dice were on fire, first contact resulted in one of his b-wings going down and a heavily damage Hwk, it was a good game though, as he started clawing it back, but I think the early exchange and my dice rolls all game, won it,

This can was unreal, I dont think I missed a shoot all game, really fun game though, I think this was my game of the day, fun game up against a good player :)

Full Win

Game 4-

Against Craig

Howlrunner, Stealth

Mauler Mithel

Dark Curse

Backstabber

Black pilot, vet instincts 

Black pilot, vet instincts 

This was a very close game, I made a mistake early and parked a b-wing on a asteroid, which cost me early big time, but this game was a funny one, one of the turns saw all of our ships lined up to shoot each other (near enough most at range 1) and only 1 damage was dealt the entire round! As soon as I was able to get the ties down to 3, I still had 3 ships left, and two were on very good health, from that point it was a case of pick the ties of one by one.

Full win

Now that last game, means I won 4 games in one event for the first time, also my total number of wins in ALL events I have played in is only 5.....

Game 5-

Against-
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Bounty Hunter, Gunner
Shuttle, Vader

This isnt the same guy, there were three of these lists flying around (I think)

Anyway, this one come down to a Bounty hunter with 1 shield and 6 hull left) against my rookie with 2 hull?, I cant remember, anyway, with a few minutes left he was going to win, in till he fly his last bounty hunter off the table by millimetres! So somehow I won this game, but to be fair to my opponent, he should of won and he was easily the better player
Full win

So I am the only player on 5-0 at this point, but it now goes into a top 8 knockout.
So being 1st at this stage means I play the 8th place player

I also got some cool dice for getting this far, aswell as my photo, I am quite happy with my lot at this point

Game 6- Quarter finals
Against
Dagger, Advanced Sensor
Dagger, Advanced Sensor
Gold, ion turret
Gold, ion turret

So errr, well I thought this was a bad match up for me, but the same thing happened that happened against Neil in Game 3, first contact saw his B-wings causing 1 damage, but him losing a B-wing in return.
In the next few turns I murdered the other B-wing, but the two y-wings kept popping one shield a time, but in the end, as soon as I got 1 of the y-wings down, the other had 3 ships (that weren't ioned) chasing him, and he soon fell, first game today where I didnt lose a ship
Full Win

Right so I got some awesome movement templates at this point, now I wasnt going to the Nationals, so that was it on my prize lot, but semi-finals anyway!

Game 7-Semi-finals

Against Craig, rematch

Howlrunner, Stealth

Mauler Mithel

Dark Curse

Backstabber

Black pilot, vet instincts 

Black pilot, vet instincts 

So a rematch, this game was really close in the middle, intill a few ties dropped and then the game was mine, I almost mucked up by spending my rookie off on its own, but it worked quite well in the end, also I lost a b-wing quickly, and I thought that was game at that point, but it proved to be a very close game, and Craig was another player that was great to play against.
Full win

Game 8-Finals
Against Keith
8 Academy pilots

Now believe it or not, I have never played against a tie swarm, before today, the only swarm I played against was Round 2, and against Craig, so I had no idea how to approach this game and well my ships got murdered one by one, my damage output was below average (I guess that was coming, after my unbelievable dice rolls all day) Good game, and a solid win to Keith.

So I finished 2nd, I am happy about that, normally I win 2-3 games and thats it, but to win 7 was unreal :)
Thats all my luck used up for the next 10+ events though :)

Matt travelled with me as always, he won 2 out of 5, but a couple of his games were close, so I assume he wasnt far off a another win or two

Well run event as always. Cant wait for the next one :)

Anyway here are some pictures of the day :)

Game 2, ties are everywhere

Game 3, first contact

Game 4, my rebels, first more ties

Prizes for the day, evade tokens for top 16, dice for top 8(these look really cool)
and top 4 movement templates , which also look cool :)

My prize for the highest place astromech, hence why R2D2 proved such a good choice :)




Anyway that is it again till Monday, when I am back in MK for a 40k Kill team event :)
