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
3 Prototypes, Refits
1 Farrell, PTL, Proton Rockets

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.

X:Wing, UK Nationals event!

National time! Got to Birmingham, had drinks, bought stuff... but thats not what this post is about!

So as usual a run down, I played so many games over the days, and I may miss or get games mixed up!

So if you havnt seen my Road to Nationals blog you wont know what I am using!
So here it is!

My list-

Dash, PTL, Title, Mango Cannon, Engine, Nien Numb
Chewbacca, VI, C3P0

So a quick picture of the room we were playing in!
Taken at a random point of the day!

Everybody Gaming

Game 1
vs
Soontir, Jax, Royal Guard all with PTL, title, Stealth, Autothrusters

Yep so a struggled this game, I kept him in arc, I even used Dash as a blocker, and taking shots in arc against Interceptors with no actions, and I still couldnt get a hit through, it came down in the end to him just chasing down my ships intill he could finish them, Soontir had 1 hull left and the other 2 ships were untouched.
Lose 0-100

Opening Engagement

Game 2

vs

Whisper, Rebel Captive, Sensor Jammer, VI, ACD

Boba Fett, ion cannon, proton bombs, outmanoeuvre, tactician, engine

So Dash got down to 1 hull very quickly and Boba went down, but lucky for Dash, he couldnt line up his Whisper to take out Dash, meaning over a few turns my turrets picked shields off Whisper intill he was space dust.

Win 100-0

Boba is now dead this turn, Chewbacca finishes him

Game 3

vs

Corran Horn, R2D2, FCS, Stealth

2x Green pilots, PTL, Proton Rockets, Stealth

So played this guy at Rugby a couple of weeks before and lost, but this game it helped that his dice were slightly below average which helped my case, took down all his ships with no loses, and was able to keep Corran out of the fight for quite a few turns early on, which helped me drop his A-wings

Win 100-0

Now before going on, a quick shout out to this guy for picking me up a copy of Imperial Assault on Sunday from the expo, as I didnt have time! Much appreciated!

Dash Arc dodging 

Game 4
vs
Han, Lone wolf, C3P0, Luke, ,Title, Engine
Jake, VI, PTL, Proton Rockets, Autothrusters, Title

Now this game didnt take to long, he wiped me quite quickly, I had Han down to 1 Hull which was a bugger, but as normal you just cant make damage stick to Han, Jake was around, just pinging off shields and hull off my ships
Lose 0-100

Run Dash Run!

Game 5
vs
Whisper, VI, Gunner, FCS, ACD
Oicunn, Experimental, Expose, Intel agent, Vader, Rebel Captive

So I focuses quickly on Oicunn, dealing lots of crits and quickly taking him out but, at this point Chewbacca only had 1 Hull left and was destroyed by Whisper.
Dash on Whisper I was quite confident with that, and as the other player found out, Dash is very fast, and in the end took down whisper, I really enjoyed this game vs a great friendly guy
Win 100-46

Dash is chasing you

Game 6
vs
Kath, Dampeners, Pred, Recon
Guri, Pred, Autothrusters
Suhlak, Dampeners, Lone wolf

Guri died very quick as he was caught against Dash and Chewbacca, Suhlak did some heavy damage before going down and leaving Dash on 1 Hull, but Dash was well Dash, and he never let Kath have a shoot on him! So he lived!
Win 100-0

Final Rankings

 Now I finished 26th which I was very happy with, but if I took down the 1 hull soontir and the 1 hull Han, I would of make the top 16, but all in all I was very happy with 4-2 on the day!

Right there it is my quick run down of how I did at the Nationals!

Now Escalation report to follow!

Road to Nationals

So I doing this blog over the course of May, and will post up beginning of June after the Nationals have finished.
Just a log for me mostly, but some might find it interesting.
These games will happen over the course of a month, and remember these are notes, so parts might not make sense.

So starting list

Han, Vi, R2D2, C3P0, Title
2x Blue

Now going into the MK regional I knew this build was coming to the end of its life, but I thought I would make it into the Nationals with this build.. but I finished 24th out of 60 people, which wasnt good, and so I knew it was time to fly something else.

Now I have flown many builds, swarms arc dodgers etc, so lucky I was practised flying many different things.
So I start looking at threats

Big ships- seem to be dying but still a massive threat, includes Han, RAC and IG's
Swarms- not many around but nasty
Phantoms/Soontir- not many phantoms currently, but Soontir is everywhere
Rebel Swarms- 4-5 normally low PS, with BBBBZ being the most popular

Now I am sure there are others, but these are the main ones in my mind.
So I thought I will go with a Rebel swarm with a difference

So my first thought is this

Biggs
2xDagger
2x Tala

Shoots before traditional swarms, low enough PS to block large ships and soontir etc, so I thought I would give it a go and see how it works.

Game 1 (Vassal)-
IGB, HLC, Stay on Target, FCS, Inertial Dampeners, Title, Autothrusters
IGD, HLC, Stay on Target, FCS, Inertial Dampeners, Title, Autothrusters

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

So not a good start, I think if dice were a bit more average I might of done a bit better, but high agility lists like this were always going to be a struggle for me, will have to have a think, about this.


Game 2 (Vassal)-
So after losing to them, I decided to fly Duel IGs!
My list
IGA, PTL, Adv sensor, Autothrusters, Title, HLC, Dampeners
IGC, PTL, adv sensor, Autothrusters, title, Mango

Vs
Soonir
Whisper
Doom shuttle

So the worst possible match up! Aggressors hate arc dodgers, but it was going well, Soontir gone, shuttle gone, and then I did a red move... forgetting I was already stressed! Bye bye Aggressor off the table! And the other one was shot down soon after, quite annoying as I thought I would of had that.
Lose 58-100
But the Aggressors were so fun to fly, so I might re-think on the rebel swarm and go with the Brobots

Changes...
A gaining shields back is quite nice, specially if I face a swarm, and C's ability is also handy and fun, but I want B in the list.. so I think I will drop C and go with B for the next game.
Also as general B will die first, as A will sit at long range I going to drop PTL off of A and add Lone wolf instead, this also lets me add Dampeners to IGB, so new list.

IGA, Lone Wolf, Adv sensor, Autothrusters, Title, HLC, Dampeners
IGB, PTL, adv sensor, Autothrusters, title, Mango, Dampeners
So starting to like the brobots, lets see how this version goes.

So onto next game

Game 3
Vs
3 Binyre
2 Cartel Spacers
2 Syndicate Thug

Basically with lots of blocking it was a long game, which went to time, he struggle to get shots, and I struggled to shot anything
Lose 44-51

Hmm struggles vs Blockers and I am not liking PTL currently, changes to be made are basically adding predator to both ships and using D for his awesome turn ability.

New list
IGB, Predator, adv sensors, autothrusters, title, Mango
IGD, Predator Adv sensors, autothrusters, title, HLC, Dampeners

Game 4
Vs
Kath
4 Binyre Pirates with Feedback!

To sum this game up, I flew a fully healthed IG off the table with a silly move, so this game was quick
Lose 28-100

Because of my silly mistake it wasnt much of a practice game, so I am keeping the same list at this point

Game 5
Vs
Shuttle, Fleet officer
Soontir, ptl, autothrusters
Rexlar HLC

Well I took down the shuttle and Rexlar but Soontir never took a shot all game, and was able to finish my aggressors
Lose 68-100

Right so I need more firepower to drop ships like shuttles quicker, also need some kind of blockers to deal with ships like Soontir
So lets add some Binyre pirates for next game, while keeping D as his ability was used so many times

New list
IGD Pred, Adv sensors, HLC, Autothrusters, Dampeners
4 x Binyre Pirates

Game 6
VS
Duel IG

A good game, but my HLC let me murder through his Aggressors, and the head-hunters did some nice blocking to
Win 100-24

So good start and a really strong win, the headhunters really made a difference here, so not changes yet.

Game 7
Vs
2 Mango Scyks
3 Thugs with Autoblaster

A quite simple game in the end, using my headhunters as blockers and to cause problems and the HLC just picking off ships quickly
Win 100-0

Simple and nothing to do differently, IGD's ability really helps

Game 8
Vs

Soonit, Jax and a Royal Guard
All with PTL, Stealth, Autothrusters, title

This list won the MK regional and was going to be hard for my list, but with some good blocking and some nice HLC shots the Interceptors soon died.
Win 100-12

Really happy with this build still, and I think I will be taking it to a tournament next week, which is two weeks before the Nationals.

Game 9 (Vassal)
Vs

IGB, PTL, adv sensors, Autothrusters, HLC, Dampeners
Boba. VI, Tactician, Dampeners, Engine

Basically, Boba goes down as does a Headhunterquite early, but then my IG falls (it had taken a alot of shots) and another headhuner.
So his IG on 4 Hull and 1 shields vs 2 of my headhunters, and the chase started! I got a blinded pilot crit on him, but his gunner ability meant it was ignored near enough!
With 2 hull on his IG left I got a crit through to make him PS0, next turn he Looped and a headhunter within range 1, and managed to finish it!
So the 2 headhunters hunted down a IG!
Win 100-76

Hmm, not sure I will change anything here, think I will stick with it again, its doing well currently, even if it did scrap through that game.

Game 10 (Vassal)
Vs
Jax, Shield, PTL, Autothrusters, Title
Sigma, sensor jammer, intel agent, stguim x2

So a good game, but my IG was able to bring the hurt in this game, the IG finished all 3 ships, while the headhunters put a little damage through but mainly there for bait/annoyance and blocking and did their job well before dying.
Win 100-48

I wont make any changes yet, but I notice I might get a low MOV with this list, which could be slightly worrying.

So a nice sunny drive saw me play in a event in Rugby, I took the list I lets see how I go.
Up for prizes was a Spring Kit, table top Han Solo cards, and some vouchers to spend in store!
So lots of goodies to play for!

Game 11 (Game 1 of event)
Vs
Corran Horn
2 A-wings

I forgot to write down upgrades but this game was unreal, he murdered my IG and took out 3 headhunters while the other ran away for a while, after the early exchanges shooting my IG, he never rolled a blank... and my evade dice.... well never rolled anything but blanks!
So a dead IG very quickly, I was able to take a A-wing out, but that was about it,
Not a good start
Lose 28-88


Game 12 (Game 2 of event)
Vs
4 Ties
Darth Vader

Well early exchange saw two of his Ties blown up without me taking a single damage, and the game continued from there, he kept taking all his shots vs the IG and only did 2 damage to him all game
Win 100-0

Game 13 (Game 3 of event)
Vs
Lando
2 Blue squadrons

This was the only Turret at the event, and a list that I believed I could deal with quite well, and I did, both B-wings had died to a lose of two of my headhunters, now because MOV was going to be important, I flew the other 2 headhunters off, and let the IG chase Lando for the rest of the game! And thats what he did!
Win 100-24

So a final placing of 3rd, I am looking at tweaks to this list, and I may even drop the IG all together, as I dont believe I flew it well at all, for something else that I think I can fly better, but I will keep thinking.

So after talking to a few people, I thought I will finally give Dash a try, I have never flown him but lets give it a go!
So my last game in the Vassal league seemed a good time to!

Game 14 (Vassal)
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 a very good result, and I cant believe it, this guy is a very very good Dash player, I would like to think I flew Dash well, but as pointed out, my green dice had a big impact, but there were a few turns where my Dash arc dodged everything and was able to take free shots.

Hmm I can see why people like the YT-3700 lists.

Game 15 (Vassal)
So I kept the same list, at 99 points its quite handy in the first game being able to give away initiative, and it was massive in this second game! As I gave it away again

Vs
Dash, PTL, Engine, Title, Jan, Mango
Farlander, HLC, PTL, Engine, Adv sensors

so we used 6 debris fields and went on from there, I played very aggressive and put some massive hurt on his Dash within the first 2 engagements and I believe it was the 3rd engagement (4th turn) when dash went down, at this point my Dash hasnt even been touched but Chewbacca has took a few hits.
So a couple of more turns and Chewbacca falls but so does Farlander on the same turn
So Win 100-46

Now Farlander was never able to get a shot on Dash and dash didnt take a single point of damage, now Chewbacca took all the fire, which he is great at doing and it takes the pressure of Dash
Again no changes to my list, as I am still quite happy with how it is playing.

Game 16 (Vassal)
Vs
Dash
2 Blues

100-0 win

Not much to say, except my Dash dodges arcs and stayed inside his HLC doughnut alot, my chewbacca did his job again, and took most of the damage, in fact he took all of it, he was on 4 Hull at the end of the game, while my Dash was untouched.

So this list once again has no changes, I am now only a few days away from the Nationals! So not much time to change anything anyway, so I just hope I can get some good match ups with this list and hopefully I can avoid playing any brobot lists!

So off to Nationals!
If you reading this it is most likely the Nationals have finished with the National Report coming soon :)

X:wing a few casual games

So with Nationals around the corner, me and a friend met up to get some practice in, all games were timed to a hour (when we remembered)
This is a very quick run down!
My goal today was to use the Aggressor, may be a couple of mistakes in lists, but think I got them all.

Finishing up

Game 6
My list doesnt change

vs

Soonit, Jax and a Royal Guard
All with PTL, Stealth, Autothrusters, title

X-wing:MK Regional Report

 So 60 Players all made it to MK, ready for the regional.

And here we are!

Room is set

Another picture of the Room

My list

Han, Vi, C3P0, R2D2, Title
2 x Blue pilots
Been using it for a while, it is getting to the stage where more counters to large ships are coming out, so this is its test for regional, if it fails I have been working on a back up plan for a little while now

So a quick break down of my games followed by a break down of the top 8 :)

Game 1
Wedge, Marksmanship, R2D2
Horton, Ion Turret
Farlander, PTL, FCS

So a interesting build to go up again, and a quite a straight forward win in the end, with Han just taking range 3 shots and letting the B-wings get into the mix to cause problems
Win 100-22

Han Looking Menacing 

Game 2
Dash, Title, Mango, Lone Wolf, Recon, APL
2x Blue, FCS

Interesting game where Han couldnt hit a Barn door, his blues made mince of mine, without taking much damage back, for some reason I couldnt hit them! and then they hunted Han down
Lose 24-100

Dash and Han have sights on each other

Game 3
Shuttle, Vader
Vessery, Ruthlessness, Cluster
Soontir, PTL, Title, Targeting Comp, Autothrusters

So Rexlar shot off his cluster to great effect, but for 2 turns he didnt roll a single evade so he was gone as well as a Blue, and then Soontir went over a rock and straight into Han.. so no actions and then rolls a crit for Structural damage, and the last Blue takes him out of the sky, after that it was just about hitting the shuttle as many times as possible
Win 100-22

Shuttle is the last man standing!

Game 4
BBBBZ

NOOOO the kind of list I didnt want to play!
But we got dug in, usual stuff, Han around the edges and the B-wings causing problems, my B-wings were able to block so well he went 2-3 turns without a shot.. and that was massive, time my B-wings went down he had a Headhunter and 2 blues, but 1 blue had 3 Hull left, and 1 had 1, the 1 will 1 hull ran off, and allowed me to put some more damage onto the other one, but in the end Han picked off both B-wings and then the Head-hunter to finish... but  not without cost, he only had 2 Hull left!
Win 100-44
This was the game of the day for me, good laugh and so close

Game 5
Rookie
Garvin, R2D6, Vi
Dutch, Title, Autoblaster, R5-K6
Cracken, Swarm, Hull

This game didnt go well, he picked off a Blue a turn and then just hunted Han intill there was nothing left
Lose 28-100

Chasing the Falcon

So 3-2 and no top 16 for me
A few 4-1's didnt even make the top cut!

Final result was I finished 24th

Anyway Top 8, I only have some of the list information.

I also dont know the Swiss order they finished, so this is just in a random order

Player 1.
Dash, Pred, Recon, Title, HLC
Chewbacca, Pred, title

Player 2
Duel IG list

Player 3
Rookie
Garvin, R2D6, Vi
Dutch, Title, Autoblaster, R5-K6
Cracken, Swarm, Hull

Player 4
Soontir, Title, Ptl, Stealth, Autothrusters
Carnor, Title, Ptl, Stealth, Autothrusters
Royal Guard, Title, Ptl, Stealth, Autothrusters

Player 5
Dash, Mango and title, cant remember the rest
2x Blues with FCS

Player 6
IGB, PTL, adv sensors, HLC, autothrusters
IGC. PTL, adv sensors, MAngler, Autothrusters, Inertial Dampeners

Player 7
Dash, Title, Mango, Lone Wolf, Recon, APL
2x Blue, FCS

Player 8
IGB, PTL, Adv sensors, HLC, autothrusters, Inertial dampeners
4 x Binayre pilots

And so it went like this!

1v2  (win for 1)
3v4 (win for 4)
5v6 (win for 6)
7v8 (win for 8)

Top 4

1vs4 (Win for 4)
6v8 (Win for 6)

Final

4 bears 6!

So 3 Interceptors win the MK regional! :)

X-wing Scum Practice

So having not had much real flying experience with Scum I met up with a good friend to try some Scum out.
While I am thinking of Regional lists, the main thing here is to, have fun and fly different ships, while also learning how to fly and beat them.

Game 1
My List

Palob, Blaster, Title
Cartel, Mango x3
Binarye

Vs

2 StarVipers
IGB

So this game was a great laugh, IG landing on rocks in front of my entire formation hurt, he did survive but not for long after, and Palob just nicking all the focus tokens which caused all sorts of hassle. Good game
Win 100-40
Learnt, Palob is nasty and forces the other player to use Target locks etc instead, but Mango Cannons are nasty against ships such as Starvipers that dont have many shields.

Game 2
My list
IGC, PTL, Adv Sensors, Autothrusters, Hot shot
Kath, Predator, Engine, K4 Security Droid

Vs
Blue Pilot x2
Roark
Kyle

So this game turned quick. My main targets were the B-wings after that I had to try and keep IGC behind the Hwks, which went quite well, but the IG was only on 1 Hull left, and Kath spent way to many turns away from the fight
Win 100-0
 Learnt, Got to keep Kath nearer fight, rear arc is great, but running away and using it isn't always the best option

Game 2, Kath swinging around for more action

Game 3
My List
Kath, Preadtor, Engine, Recon
Emon, Preadtor, Recon, Title, 3x Mines

Vs
IGB
2 Star vipers

So you always learn more losing then winning, and this was the case, I was so determined to use bombs, that I set myself up for a lose, I used one mine in the end and only because I wanted to (we knew it wasn't going to hit anything) use it before I blew up.
Lose 0-100
Learnt, fly normally and only use bombs if needed, I dont think Emon is a pilot that suits my play style

Game 3, Starvipers hurting Kath

Game 4

My list
Kath and 4 Binaryre
I forgot to write down upgrades

Vs

IGB

2x Starvipers

A quickish game, saw my headhunters put damage on the IG with Kath, leaving it on just 2 Hull early, after that, the IG fell and the starvipers soon after
Win 100-12

Learnt, I didnt learn much this game, as I thought I flew really well, but in case of his IG is dont get it stuck near a swarm of any kind.

Overall a good day learning about Scum and we had a long chat after about possible Scum lists for the future.
