MK Summer Conquest Event!

So Yay for a Conquest event!

Currently I am loving 40k Conquest LCG, must be the game I want to play most currently!
So looking forward to this I was!!

I went with Kugath, I been going through trying Warlords out and trying to find one I really like! And for this event it was Kugaths turn!

So heres a quick report!

So I have already changed the deck, so I forgot to get a deck list for this blog! Whoops!

Anyway

Game 1-
Nazdreg
Orks With Guard

Bad match up for me, I can deal with most troops easily, but not high life troops... which Orks are full of.
He won 3 planets to my 1, and I couldnt do enough damage to his Ork swarm!
I did get his Warlord Bloodied and down to 1 more hp! So shame I didnt have anything to snipe him with left!
Lost by Planets

Planets 1-3
Icon 1-8

Game 2-
Urien
Dark Elder with Eldar

So Kugath become god in this game! I dominated Command and had full control of this game, the Dark Eldar didnt really stand up to my Chaos!
Won by Planets

Planets 3-0
Icons 6-0

Game 3-
Shadowsun
Tau with Marines

A very close game... it came down to the last planet, in which he was able to kill of Kugath, I made a couple of small misplays which cost me the game, , even though I had won 4 out of the first 6 planets, if I got 1 attack in on the last planet I would of won.. or 2 more resource, but I didnt! So close!! What a amazing and close game.
Lose by Warlord kill

Planets 4-2
Icons 5-5

Game 4-
Eldrath
Elder with Dark Elder

Now after having a easy time for the first set of Eldar, I thought I should be okay this time to and well, he just couldnt seem to do anything about Kugaths tricks... I got the Banner first turn which was a great start..
And when his Warlord had 1 HP left, I warp stormed, he cancelled it, but I had a second one and used it again to blood his warlord! (I had so much resource this game)
I dominated command and combat, everything seemed to go so well this game!
Win by Planets

Planets 5-1
Icons 7-3

So a great day of Conquest and quite happy with 2-2 with a warlord I have never used before!

Even better to thing that my losses, were very close, and the Ork player I lost to in the first game, won the event!!

So Kugath is a Warlord I found I loved using! So I have taken a decision to stop going through the Warlords and work on Kugath a bit.
First time I would be doing this on a Warlord, but I found Kugath so fun to play and I think he suits my play style very well!

So prizes!
I finished 4th out of 8

Loot!!
So great day! Also a shout out to Matt who gave me his spare Ork Flash Kit Promos! He had 6 and 2 spare, very much appreciated!

So hope you enjoyed the quick blog post :)

MK X-wing Duality Event

Hello all!

So a X-wing event in MK and some special rules!

Basically for game 1.3.5 you run one list, and for 2.4 you run a different one!
Also each list has to be from a different fraction!

So let me quickly run down how this event went!
And it will be a quick run down, sorry if I got games mixed up a bit.

So my lists!
For game 1,3,5 I ran Scum
For game 2,4 I ran rebels!

Scum list-
Boba Fett, Autoblaster, Engine
Kath, Pred, HLC, Engine

Rebel list-
Wes, Vi, R3-A2
2 Blues
2 Bandits

29 players battling it out!
Game 1-
Rematch of round 6 at the nationals I believe, anyway same guy and he had the same list!

Guri, Autothrusters, Determinations
Nduk, Lone Wolf
Kath, Engine, k4, PTL

So I remember how dangerous Nduk can be from our last game, so I gunned for him, and in the end 1 shoot him with kaths HLC, good start.
Rest of game we were chasing each other, he got Boba down to 2 Hull, so I took a brave choice, to split my Kath off the Kath vs Kath fight (His had 1 Hull left, mine still had 4 I think) and send her after Guri, and Guri still had 4 hull at this point...but at range 2... Kath got 4 damage though taking out Guri, before he killed Boba!  After that my hunters finished off Kath.
What a great game, quite close to
Win 100-0

At the top just off the picture is Nduk.. he didnt last the next turn!

Game 2-
Duncan Callander! Its our first game against each other.. somehow

Krassis, Recon HLC
Whisper, Rebel, ACD, FCS, VI
Academy Pilot

First turn of shooting saw Whisper fly into my swarm, he got stressed from Wes, and so Whisper couldnt re-cloak.. and that was the end of the phantom, as my swarm finished the ship off.
HE did take down a B quite quick after, but his Krassis had started taking a lot of damage, and my other B 1 shot his Academy at range 1, but before Krassis goes down, he does manage to kill of Wes
Win 100-52

Game 3-

Corran, PTL, FCS, R2D2
Han, Determination, C3P0, Title, Gunner

I remember something like this when I played last event... but I was playing it!
So I went straight for Han, but I took way to long to take him down, and had 2 badly injured firesprays vs Corran!  Yep Corran won!
Lose 56-100

Corran and the last bounty hunter... eye each other up
 
Game 4-
Vs my team mate Ed! And he also had a 5 ship rebel swarm!

Ibtisan, PTL
Biggs
Cracken
2 Bandits

We set up opposite and went straight into each other... then turned around and repeat a few times!
After a few turns of this he had a fully healthed Bandit vs a slightly damaged B-wing.
But his Bandit dodged for its life! and even got the B-wing right down to 2 Hull left, just before the B-wing finished it off!
Wow that was a close game!
Win 100-78

All that remains...

Game 5-
Rematch from a little while ago, and this is a great young lad, who is already a fantastic player even though he hasnt been in the game long! Great to see!

Corran, R2D2, FCS, PTL
Biggs, Hull, R3-A2
2 Bandits

Going up against Corran (again) I really wanted to have my small swarm, not my firesprays! O well
So I took both his Bandits out early, Biggs was either not in arc, or to far away, then Biggs fell, now I cant remember if I only had 1 firespray left or both at this point, but either way.. my last shoot of the game against Corran...
I got 4 hits with my HLC, he had 2 Hull and 1 Shield left and no actions, I thought that would be it... but nope, he rolled 3 Natural evades.. and then double tapped poor Kath to win the game!
Wow could of swung either way at the end, and such a close game!
Lose 54-100

Early turns

So even going 3-2 I had a decent MOV, which saw me finish 7th out of 29.
Took home a Recon Spec alt art card, and some of the Summer kit Evade tokens
Quite pleased with that, as these are not normally lists I would of took, not my normal Han or Dash lists.

Hope you enjoyed the read!
Also dont forget to follow me on Facebook!

Next report is a Conquest event I went to.. the day after this one, hopefully wont be long before its up!

 

Guest Writer: Leebo Williams talks about Armada

Star Wars Armada a new beginning




Hello boys and girls Leebo here, and I have been asked to jot down a few words about why I have chosen to have a go at Star Wars Armada. Now from the beginning of me playing x wing miniatures I always wanted to play with capital ships after playing a pc game called Empire At War. As soon as I finished that game I wanted to play big ships in big games. There was a game at the time which came with Home One ( Admiral Akbars ship) and a super star destroyer, but at the time of me finding out about it it had already gone out of print and the licence had gone elsewhere. Enter x wing miniatures game, this filled my need for space combat and was in my favourite subject of all time ‘STAR WARS’. Having played that for about a year and a half Fantasy Flight Games then released the news they were bringing out another game using the capital ships, Sold I’m in just tell me where to send my money and I want it all lol. So a core set was purchased and as I am a Rebel player at heart an assault frigate and fighter pack purchased as well.

On to the contents I suppose, the capital ships come painted, and in my opinion are done really well as is FFG’s way with their pre-paints, but the fighters only come in beige plastic for the rebels and grey plastic for the imperials. Cool I get to paint some spaceships! Now they are small but still retain quite a bit of detail. This being said a simple scheme would be in order to get the best from them. So with brush in hand I began.

First up was the two a wing squadrons from the pack, I only have GW paints in my collection so went with a skull white base coat, there is no need to under coat these ships as the paint seemed to go on well, I used scab red as a nice dark red strip down the middle of the ship and a touch on each of the engines. The cockpit was touched with black and the engine exhaust had a dab of yellow applied. Then a light Nuln oil wash applied to the whole model, which covered nicely and just filled in all the recessed areas and defined the blocks of colour well, giving a nice used look to the squadrons, objective one and they looked pretty good, so confidence brimming I moved on to the y wings.





So the ywings basically went exactly the same way technique wise and I used a bone colour for the base coat, a little grey on the engone pods and cockpit, the glass touched in black and a yellow trim around the cockpit denoting gold squadron.



So up next are the Bwings and they were a bit more fiddly, but same bone base coat, with grey the accent on the engines, wing straps and bottom gun. And then touched with orange dots as squadron markings. Black was touched on the cockpit glass and the washed with nuln oil.



Now on to the superstars the x wing squadrons as you get 4 in the core set and a further 2 in the fighter pack I had 6 to paint, these repaints do not take to long even for some one of my skill, which is basic at best. But is started the same way as the a wings with a basecoat of white, then used blood red, a brighter shade of red, to make the model pop a bit and ran a line down each side of the fuselage and then a touch on each of the upper wings. Grey was used on the engines and cockpit with black in the glass sections. Then a touch of yellow on the nose cone, and finally a wash of nuln oil.



For a basic lick of paint, they haven’t come out that bad and I cannot wait to get them onto the table and free the galaxy from under the imperial jack boot hehe. Thanks for reading this little bit of info and I hope it helps.



And remember Fly Casual and may the force be with you.

Leebo Williams.

X-wing Event: Guest Writer Simeon B, New Player Report, Lost Ark Games

So Simeon B Agreed to let me post up his report from a event ran by Lost Ark Games in Stevenage.
Before I go any further, I did not have any impact on this report, and the entire report was created and written by the Author Simeon B, he has agreed kindly to allow me to post it.

Now the reason I was so interested in this report as it shows a new player who is sharing there experience at their first event. It gives a good run down of the event and how the player feels about attending his first event!
Enjoy the read :)

                                                                                                                                                   

So my son and I headed down to our local game store here in Stevenage, England to play in the Spring Kit tournament. We picked up the core set about 4 weeks ago and have played maybe 10 or so games at home. We didn't really have a coherent enough squad for Imperials or Scum, and having watched Paul Heaver's 2013 World Champs game recently on YouTube decided to be inspired by his BBXX list with the following:

Keyan Farlander (29)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Rookie Pilot (21)
R2 Astromech (1)
Rookie Pilot (21)
R7 Astromech (2)
Total: 100
We got to Lost Ark games for the 9am start and hung around with some of the other players whilst the tournament was set up. Mick, the friendly store owner, had kindly let me and my son team up as we were fairly inexperienced. He'd also said we could go whenever we wanted, as I wasn't sure my son's concentration levels would last the whole day, so my son and I agreed to play two games minimum and maybe leave then. We had decided to follow Paul Heaver's setup in 2013 and place our ships in a 2x2 formation on the right side of the board, move forwards slowly to see what our opponenent did and then try and take out his biggest, fatest ship. If we managed to take a ship down, we'd high five, be happy and whatever else happened would happen!
We were ready to go at about 9.45am and were paired with an experienced player, Andrew Christian. He was running two IG-88s (B&C I think) plus a load of upgrade cards we hadn't seen before. Andrew very kindly took time to explain his ships' and pilots' abilities - but we were a bit confused by them. He said he'd talk through all his moves as he did them as there were an awful lot of actions and re-rolls of dice involved. Too complicated for us newbies! We got underway and we played our ships up the right side of the board. Andrew took one Aggressor towards us and the other kind-of came up the side. We decided to joust the Aggressor that came at us and in the first exchange managed to do some damage. We then had to loop round the asteroid to get another pass at those tricky Aggressors as they dodged all over the place and took multiple actions...
IMG_3315_zpsfqzxsxyh.jpg
Andrew took one of the B-Wings down, but we managed to come back round and use the Target Locks we had to take out one of the IG-88s. We were super pumped about this as we'd achieved out objective of taking out an opponents big ship... Awesome! Andrew then removed an X-Wing and time was called.
IMG_3316_zpsizffznp4.jpg
Others came over to help us tot up the totals, and then they had another count. Me and my son weren't sure what was going on, but they were counting our ships that had been destroyed versus the Aggressor we'd removed. Turns out we won by a single point - 48 points to 47! We were shocked, surprised and very happy! We felt a bit sorry for Andrew as he'd played well and was an experienced player - we'd kind-of lucked out a bit really...
Anyway, on to our second match against Robert Gilbert who was flying a fully loaded Decimator and two TIE Fighters. This Decimator was a beast with all crew slots taken and missiles and bombs. Easy choice for us as to what to go after. So we set up in our right hand corner and head off towards the VT-49. To our surprise it charged straight towards us with the TIE's buzzing around. Rob got his Ion Torpedos to ionise our four ships. Didn't really matter though as we still had range 1 shots on the Decimator and we pretty much knocked out it's shield in our first volley. There was then an almighty jam in the middle of the board as all out ships pretty much collided! It was a right mess!
IMG_3317_zpsgzoqpzth.jpg
We managed to get another volley of shots off and land a tonne more damage. We then managed to sort-of untangle and Rob dropped a Proton Bomb which caught two of our ships in it's blast radius. However, we'd got behind the Decimator now and were still focus firing. We'd reduced it to three hull points, whilst Rob had taken one of our Rookies. The next go we'd taken it off the board and it just left us to chase the two TIEs. We caught one, then the other and ran out 100-23 winners. So we'd one two games - way past our expectations!
Lunch was called and we took on some well deserved food and drink. We decided to stay on as we had a decent chance of scoring some prizes. Plus we were having fun!
Our first afternoon match was against a cool bloke called Alex. He was really helpful and totally had the 'fly casual' spirit. He was running Boba and Kath Scum with a few upgrades. Once again, we setup in our favourite corner and pulled away slowly to see where we went. Alex took Kath to one side and hung back a bit, but Boba ended up coming at us head on. Poor old Boba got the full brunt of some great red dice from my son and some poor green dice from Alex.
IMG_3319_zpszk5a7tnb.jpg
It didn't take long to strip Boba's shield and then we took him out completely. Alex managed to take out our Blue Squadron pilot, but we still had three ships chasing Kath. With her ability on her rear firing arc she was putting up a good fight. We then steered a Rookie into an asteroid, blowing him up, but the two remaining ships cleaned up giving us a 100-47 win. Alex was great with us - pointing out mistakes and advising us on better actions than we had planned. Top fella!
IMG_3320_zps9cto7x4r.jpg
Our last match was against a player who also had 2 wins, one modified - Len Smith. Another top bloke and extremely helpful. He had to explain the StarViper and the M3-A. He was flying Xixor, Guri and Serissu and this was another one of those lists that had multiple upgrades (Predator on the Star Vipers, for example) and actions that criss-crossed between different ships. Dunno how he kept track of it all! This game didn't go so well for us. I think we were both a bit tired, a bit hot (it was a very warm summers day) and we had run up into a list we didn't really know what to do. There was no obvious fat target and with these three small ships and all their trickiness we wondered if we'd met our match. We decided to go for Xixor, but we barely got any shots off. Len came in and smashed us up. His dice were hot - rolling more crits than I'd ever seen and our dice were frigid - blank, blank, blank.... But I'm not blaming the dice, Len did an awesome job and he totally deserved to beat us.
IMG_3322_zpsxwdrqnfo.jpg
So we lost 100-0....
An overall winner was announced, which was Len - so huge congrats to him! Me and my son finished third - which we were made up about. We snagged a dice bag, funky range ruler and two PTL cards from the Spring kit and we couldn't have been happier.
Big shout out to all the guys who made it there - especially the Stevenage and Harlow teams. And, of course, big thanks to Mick at Lost Ark for organising.

UK/IRL Official X-wing event

So here we are again! Another x-wing tournament, but going into this I had little motivation to actually pla, but after chatting to various people I planned to play and came up with this list.

Han, C3P0, Engine, Chewbacca
Corran Horn, Lone Wolf, FCS, R2D2


Han and Corran in a pre event meeting!

Everybody setting up.

Game 1-
VS
IGB+IGC
Both have VI, HLC, Autothrusters, FCS, Dampeners, and 1 had a Seimic Charge

First thought was great IGS, and then I realised he didnt have predator or PTL, so I went straight in for B, as with out the gunner ability, his damage output dropped massively, with Corran limping around as always, but hanging on thanks to R2D2, in the last turn he did a unexpected S-loop, but this left him out of arc, and Han and Corran both in Range 1 of the last IG, finishing the game.

Win 100-0

Getting the IGs in arc was important!

Game 2-
VS
Corran, PTL, FCS, Engine, R2D2
2 Talas
2 Bandits

Well Han took a battering early while his head-hunters survived everything, but all the pinging away soon counted as Headhunters started dropping 1 by 1, Han got down to 1 hull left, and with a bandit who was about to finish him, but Han and Corrran was able to finish the Bandit before it shot, after that Han put his foot down and ran, just as time called.
Wow that was a close game

Win 50-0


Early engagement
Game 3-
VS
Leebo, Determination, HLC, Chewbacca, Title
Blue, Ion Cannon
Gold, Ion Turret, R2

So going into this game, Ion was going to hurt Corran but early exchanges saw some heavy damage on my ships, but his B-wing going down.
Corran ran off while he hammered Han, time Corran came back in, he was fully shielded again, but this didnt stop him getting ion next turn and blown up the turn after! At this point Han made a mad dash for the Y-wing taking it down and left Han and Leebo duelling, at this stage I was trying to engage at range 1 or not at all, and it was close, but Han had 4 hull left and Leebo had 5 Hull but also chewbacca was unused, so if this game came down to another 20mins, leebo would of most likely got Han, unless I could keep him in range 1, but as it was time was called.

Win 49-43


Corran got the B-wing in his sights!
Game 4-
VS
Xizor, VI, Title, FCS, Autothrusters, Dampeners
Suhlak, Lone Wolf, Shield, Dampeners
3 Binyres

So errr where to start, interesting game...
Early on he forget to set Suhlaks dial, so he did a hard 3 into his formation, so basically he couldnt use Lone wolf, but somehow he survived being blasted, but went down the turn after...
The rest went after Corran.. and errr well Corran just refused to die... at all, but at this stage he had been fully committed to taking out Corran and kept taking off a shield, I would re gen, he would take off a shield, but this gave Han fall power on the field to hunt ships and he did. in the end as the headhunters died, fire power on his side got weaker meaning he struggled to keep hitting Corran, and he couldnt get him.
Interesting thought that Corran had only took 1 Hull damage by the end and had regained all of his shields and Han had only took 1 shield damage, but that wasnt a true reflection, as Corran should of gone down early, but well yer... how did I win that 100-0? It really didnt feel like a 100-0... I felt quite bad :(



Wow really bad photo!! You can just See Corran running from his Scum pack!
Game 5-
VS Lee!!
Dash, PTL, Title, Engine, Mango
2 Blues with FCS

Now final table, and winner well wins! But up against a team mate of mine and fellow co-host of Cloud City Radio!
(Which can be found here:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cloud-City-Radio/1472628933028167)

Now Dash and 2 Blues, is a list I played against heavily in the build up to the Nationals, and I constantly beat it. the player I been practising against got top 8 at the Nationals so he knew how to fly it.
But my team mate also learnt how to fly it well! Going to be a close game!
And it was, he got the upper Hand early, with him getting Corran down to 1 Hull.. and then Corran runs to regen, he kept chasing but he split up his B-wings, Dash and 1 B after Corran, while the other B goes after Han
So Han takes the lonely B-wing before joining back in and chasing Dash, at this point Corrran had also K-turned and shot down his other B-wing! Wow, I started badly but it soon changed.
Now at this stage we had

A fully powered Dash
VS
Han who had no shields and a almost dead Corran!

So I got a bit lucky and got everything into Range 1 of Dash, leaving him on 2 hull (Corran double tapped) I believe, but Corran got hit back, and lost both shields and losing his last hull and going dowm. but next turn Han was able to finish Dash.

Win 100-43


Opening turns
So 4 full wins and 1 modified, so a good result and a strong showing by the Misfit team in general!

Kyle finished 3-2 I believe
Lee finished 4-1, placed 5th
Me finished 5-0, placed 1st


Woo good loot! 
Me, after a long hot day!

Shiny Trophy!

Vassal X-wing league, Season 1

So here is a run down of the games I played

I am in Division 3 which was randomly assigned as its the first season :)

Games may not be in order :)

Game 1
My list,
Cracken, VI
Blue
Blue, HLC x2

Against
Decimator
Soontir

Very close game, which I got outplayed for most of it, but I was able to get myself back into it.
Win 100-51

Game 2
My list
Soontir, PTL, Royal Guard, Stealth, Autothrusters
5x Obsidians

Against
BBBBZ

Very close again, this time losing 78-100, we both agreed after 2 and a half hours, this was one of the most fun and exciting games we have ever played, it was a nail bitter right intill tthe end!
Lose 78-100

Game 3
My list
WSF, Mango Cannon
3x Blue Pilots

Against
Emon
Mux
2 Binayre pilots

Bad start for him saw Emon on a rock, and taking 6 damage, from there Emon died next turn and then a Binayre and Mux saw a firing squad. Great guy to play though, and a interesting fun squad he was using, shame he didnt clear that first rock, as it could of been such a good game if he did.
That rock cost him the game I reckon, no shot and no mine to drop that turn.
Win 100-0

Game 4
My list
Biggs
2x Dagger
2x Tala

Against
IGB+IGD

Started quite well, doing 7 damage to one IG, but after that I couldnt hit a barn door (dam vassal dice and unreal green dice on his part) he killed his own IG on a rock and the other IG just cleaned up from there
Lose 50-100

Game 5
My list
Chewbacca, VI, C3P0
Dash, PTL, Mango, Nien Numb, Title, Engine

Vs
Dash
2 Blues

Now the guy I was playing for this final match is a really good Vassal player and he is very skillful with his Dash and 2 Blue list, which he has been running for a while I believe.
So my goal was to make him split his fire and it worked well, getting Dash down to 3 hull, he was then to far out for a few turns, I got to work killing a blue, and as Dash turned back in, my dash was able to do a boost and barrel roll back into Range 1, he conceded at this point, as in total I had only took 5 damage between both of my ships. I will point out though, I had some very good green dice, and my Dash should of been at least 3-4 life less, if not gone completely.
Win 100-0

So thats my final Vassal league game!
Lets see where I finished!

Finished 3rd! With the guy I beat in round 5 winning the group!
With drop outs, 3rd is enough to get me into division 3 :)

So working my way up :)

UK Escalation

So here is the 3rd part of my weekend at the UKGE
So after failing to make the cut I played in a Escalation style event.
2 games at 60pts, 2 at 90pts, and 2 at 120 pts.

My list-

60pts
Bandit
Blue x2

90pts
Bandits x2
Blue x3

120 pts
Bandits x2
Blue x3
Wes, VI

So sorry for writing this up late!
Lets see what I can remember

Game 1, 60 pts
vs
Wedge, R2-T1, VI
Gold, Bomb loadout, Seimic, Ion turret, R3-A2

Good game, first exchange happened at range 3 which was where I wanted it, next one range 1, meaning at this point his Y-wing limps off heavy damaged, and I send a Bandit to follow it, while one of my Blues goes down, my other blue chases after Wedge
Once the Y-wing goes down, my bandit joins in hunting Wedge, and against two ships Wedge struggled
Win 60-22

Different but very cool paint scheme


Engagement at range 3

Game 2, 60 pt, aka battle of the Admins
vs
Xizor, adv sensors, VI, title
2 Binyres

Now it was to be the battle of two admins of the UK/IRL x-wing facebook page, and so off we went!
I went straight after xizor, but he took a lot before he went down, I also lost a blue quite quickly around the same time, now this is were it got close, both of my ships I believe only had 1 hull left, and so did both of his I believe (Trying to remember everything)
But it turned out both of mine survived just! So a nail biting final couple of rounds!
Win 60-22


Trying to hunt Xizor
Game 3, 90pts
vs
Echo, Vi, ACD, Recon
Soontir, PTL, Stealth, Title, Autothrusters
Academy pilot

Now I dont remember much from this game, maybe because not much happened, his Academy stayed out the fight, and soontir and echo took a few hits, but I could never keep them in my sights, but also my ships didnt take much damage either! But he did 1 shot a bandit with echo, and took the other bandit down to
Lose 0-24


Echo and Soontir slowly fly towards my formation
Game 4, 90pts
vs
Farlander, Adv sensors, Stay on Target, E2, C3P0
2x Daggers, FCS

Now he flew near enough at my formation, dealing 2 damage to me, but losing 7 damage on one of his B-wings, that B-wing went down next turn, the game continued in that way, but he did manage to take down 1 of my B-wings by the end of the game.
Win 90-22

Game 5, 120pts
vs
Soontir, Title, PTL, Targeting Computer, Autothrusters
2x Royal Guard, Title, PTL, Targeting Computer, Autothrusters
1 x Royal Guard, PTL, Autothrusters

Now at this point and after 3 days of gaming, I was starting to get tired, but the game started well, when Soontir found himself in arc of all my ships!
Wes shot, he used a focus and a evade to take no damage, but then Wes stripped his over focus, and then my mini swarm took him apart, the game continued, with next turn me dropping another Interceptor, to keep up a tradition it seemed, I lose a blue pilot, but other then that, very little damage else where, Wes and his token stripping abilities was massive.
Win -120-22

Interceptors running out of running room!
 Game 6, 120 pts
vs
Corran Horn, PTL, Adv Sensors, R2D2

We found ourselves on the top table.
Now I dont remember much from this game except, Wes went down quickly and I went A-wing hunting, and then it was a long game of Corran picking off ships 1 by 1 as I couldnt deal enough damage to him or the A-wing which ran away.
Lose 60-120

Shoot the A-wings!

So 4-2 again, I was quite pleased with that, specially as I havnt had much practice with rebel swarms, but it was different and fun to play, and I am looking into flying something like that again!
I finished 6th, dam you MOV and the guy I lose to in game 6 won the event.
But a good day of X-wing and its interesting to see what different ideas come out in games of Escalation.
