Hey
all sorry this is a bit late but I have been rather busy, with
sorting out events for other x wing events and gaming clubs. Ok so
this week I was at Weekend Warlords in Loughborough, this was a
100pts dogfight with 75 min rounds
and
5 rounds as there was 18 players on the day. Before I get into what I
took just like to say a big thanks to all the staff and players for
making it a great day out, if your are ever in the area just pop in
and have a look there
is
always something on and always space for games.
Ok
now after last week and the tie swarm (that did not work that well) I
decided to take something different, so different it was a different
faction completely so here is what I tock.

So
the idea for this list was because I was having such a bad time with
my dice rolls, I wanted to try and make a list that gave me the best
chance to get better dice rolls. I picked the scum boba as he is
better then the imps one because he has that re roll ability for each
enemy ship at range 1 of him, this meant that I had a good chance of
getting hits on the targets that I picked and also help him last
longer. This was the same reason why I took the K3 droid, it help
with not just giving a free target lock but also meant that I could
keep my focus for the defence if I needed it.

This
game started with both of use starting in opposing corners so it
would be a few turns before any action, I set up my swarm in a block
formation as this is how I like to fly them and it also means I can
get all of them shooting at the same time. After a few turns of
getting ships into position to attack Boba was a bit more forward
then I would of liked which meant he got attacked buy the 2 x wings
with some very good rolls from Ben, meant that I had lost all my
shields and the first crit was 2 damage on Boba great start. So next
turn Boba was at range 1 of the 2 x wings, even with Boba's re rolls
(which were blank after blank) he ended up with only one hull left.
The swarm was able to get rid of blue ace but the damage had already
been done, then Kyle shoots with the tlt there goes Boba and Poe is
not touched and also Kyle is full as well with a stack of focus
tokens, So from here it is a struggle as I don't have enough fire
power to deal with both ship. Because of this I sent the swarm after
Kyle lucky I was able to get him with some range 1 attacks but before
that I had lost a Z and another was on 1 hull, this helped with
stopping Poe getting free focuses and also no tlt shoots as well. I
manage to get Poe into hull but it cost me the rest of my Zs to do
so.

Yes
that is 2 y wings with tlts great and some nice action economy with
the R4 agromech, so the set up we both decided to face each other in
a joust and just go at it. The reason why I did this was I have
enough attacks to take out the Y wings if they come at me, and also I
can take care of Bossk with all the ships I have and then just get
behind him and stay there. With that in mind I just rushed Bossk the
Y wings went off to stay at range 2 and 3 just so they can keep
shooting there tlts. Bossk did 2 rounds were he shot a Z which lost
only a shield then at Boba in the next turn who lost 2 shields. After
that Bossk went down from Boba with 2 hits and 2 crits and because
Boba was a hight ps meant that there was no shoots back from Bossk at
range 1 which could of hurt, so now I went after the Y wing with
every thing. The tlts were able to get Boba down to half points,
there is not much you can do when 3 hit are being rolled all the
time, but because my whole list was shooting first I was able to put
damage on his before they could shoot back which gave me my first
win.

So
we both set up in opposite corners of the map and start the long turn
into each other from there, from this point my zs were trying to
catch up with Boba who I was way to aggressive with, this meant that
Boba got blocked by the x wings with all there weight of fire on him.
He did mange to live with only a couple of hull points left but one
of the crits was lower attack power (great new he shoots like a z) so
i thought it was time for him to get out of there but the x wing were
hot on my tail, I tried to use the zs as blockers which worked but
with some amazing dice rolls Dan got 2 of them in one shoot. I was
able to clear the crit from Boba the turn before but because I had
not boosted he was close to the edge, the only move I could do was a
hard left turn and he dose not make it yep he was off the board. So
with what ships I had left I had lost as there was not much I could
do with the zs, I will say I was lucky as I was able to get Luke off
the board to get some points..

Yay
A wings another ship that does not get as much play as it should do.
So again I set up in the corner with my swarm and Boba on the side of
them, my opponent sets up the other side and I just start to think
great now I get to spent 75 mins chasing A wings around. So for this
one I was aggressive and went after them my goal was to first get
Poe. So that was the game plan and this time it worked out for me I
was able to get rid of Poe with in the first few turns, it helped
that my opponent kept using the focus as he did have some very very
bad rolls and one of the Zs finished him off. Next I turned to the A
wings because the main threat had gone I just brought all of my ships
down on them, using the Zs as blockers and then getting in close with
Boba. This did take some time as A wings are just so fast, but I got
lucky and was able to get Tcyho after Boba had striped his tokens the
Zs were able to finish him off. Next I went after Jake and I am able
to get him at range 1 of Boba and the Zs, then I was able to deal
with him quickly, this was a interesting game but I was happy just to
have a win.

tie/fos all with comm relay this was going to be a tough fight, for
starters there all shooting before before my Zs and with the comm
they can keep there evade. So again I set up in the comer this is so
I can move in a nice formation and also lets me see where the enemy
ships are going, Tom sets up in the middle and turns in swarm vs
swarm. With 2 attacks each we could not do much to each other as we
were both rolling well, I move Boba a bit ahead along with the Zs and
we get a pile up in the middle. We both end up losing a couple of
ships and Boba takes a lot as damage as well, I was able to get him
out of the combat and keep my Zs as blockers. Boba start to take more
damage and gets down to 1 hull left, even which his re rolls he was
not doing great. I start to bring him back around, but Boba goes down
quickly. So now its just swarm vs swarm we keep going all the way to
the end of the game and there is only 2 ships left 1 Z and 1 tie both
on 1 hull each, we both k turn and shoot 2 hits on my Z and 1 evade 1
blank and that's it game over.

100 to 80
