Saturday the 2nd

I played in a x-wing tournament in Milton Keynes.  18 people showed up.  And I came in a respectable 10th.  With a list featuring:-
Jan Ors with blaster turret and the moldy crow title
Wedge Antilles with push the limit, R2-D2 and proton Torpedoes
Biggs Darklighter with R2-F2

As a recap of how things went

Game 1 wasa match win for me vs a similiar list.  Biggs Darklighter with the R2-F2 and Proton torps, Kyle Katarn and Dutch Vander with proton torps and ion turret.  Both of pour Biggs died turn 2 as expected from mass fire at them.  After that a Jan Ors empowered Wedge and Jan Ors blinking away with the turret took down the other ships handingly.

Game 2 was a loss.  2 X-Wings and 2 B-wings with Advanced Sensors.  My list could not match the firepower of the B-wings.  Managed to wipeout the X-wings easily enough, but after that the B-wings just took apart everyone else.  They are incredibly maneurevable with the Advanced Sensors.

Game 3 was another loss vs 8 Ties.  Was a battle of attrition I was not going to win.  I did also roll really badly.  Wedge failed to roll more than 2 hits on any tie.  Killed 3 of them, 3 were down to 1 hit point and thats how it ended.

Game 4 was my second Match Win.  Was vs a Naked Wedge, Jan Ors with title, Blaster Turret and Recon Specialist and a B-Wing with Heavy Laser Cannon. I finsihed of his Wedge turn 2 after my Wedge flew right in front of all his ships under Biggs protection.  I lost Biggs naturally.  After that Jan ors went down.  I was a little worried about the B-Wing and it did kill my Jan,  but then some maneuvering later saw the B-wing in flames.

Game 5 was another Loss.  Can't help but fell I should of won.  It was vs 3 bombers.  1 had assault missiles, 1 had Concusion Missiles and the last had advanced torpedoes.  Blask Squadron Tie with Draw their fire and Howlrunner.  Both our dice rolling was pretty abysmal.  The assault missiles had an ideal shot at my 3 ships, but whiffed rolling 4 blanks.  The advanced Protons were lost to a munitions failure.  But still pass one I lost biggs, pass I lost Jan and whislt Wedge limped off to recharge shields he failed to dodge anything and went down.

Had a great day though.  Didn't expect to get anywhere, just an excuse to play X-Wing all day.
