Xwing 18th january

Been a while writing this up.  it was  terrible day for me, but here goes.

I took almost the exact same list as I did in November due to having 0 opportunity to play xwing in the two weeks before the day.  Which consisted of Wedge with engine upgrade, R2 Astromech, and Push the Limit (He kills things)  Biggs with R2-F2 ( helps stop other two dieing horribly), and Jan Ors with a Blaster Turret, Recon Specialist and the moldy crow. (helsp wedge kill things, and is reasonably killy herself)

game 1 wa svs Jim, he had Chewbacca and 2 Blue Squadron Pilots with heavy laser cannons.  A frightening amount of firepower+hull points(29!!).  Managed to knock out the 2 bwings as soon as I could then onto Chewie.  Managed to get Chewbacca to 4 hit points remaining before I ran out of ships.  Made a terrible decision of going for range 1 shots, should of stayed at range 3.  Cest la vie.

Game 2 was v Keith and was my only win ( I was his only loss on the day >_<)  He was flying 4 A-wings with push the limit. Three of them had concussion missiles.  Spent the first few rounds flying around the board.  I spent most of it circling the middle.  Whenever they came round for a shot, Wedge was able to boost into arc and basically one shot an A-wing each time.  it was a massacre.  Only 1 missile was fired.  I never lost a ship.  Jan Ors did lose her blaster turret though.  Which was annoying.  Ended the game with a ridiculous amount of focus tokens that she couldn't get rid off.  Was at least 12.

Game 3 was versus Alex (Rodent Mastermind).  he has Lando with Nien Nunb and determination.  Ibitsam with Push the Limit and a Rebel Operative with Blaster Turret and Recon Specialist.  I hate Falcons.  I figured Ibitsam was the greater threat and went for her.  She went down easily enough, well as easily as B-wings go down anyway.  After that the other two just finished me off.  3 Ships rebels just cannot deal with falcons.

Game 4 was versus John.  He had a rebel swarm of 2 a-wings, 2 B-wings and a rookie pilot with a r2 Astromech.  the problem I had was that they had way more firepower, and pretty much the same amount of defence as me, but with more hull points.  I killed what I could, the A-wings died as did a B-wing I beleive.  But just ran out of ships.

Game 5 was vs Ryan, who had Howlrunner with Push the Limit, Mauler Mithel with Squad Leader, Backstabber, a scimitar squadron bomber and an academy tie.  My Relaince on Biggs meant I clumped up.  Should of just split my force.  Yeah Wedge would of died, but splitting up the swarm's firepower, would of made a massive difference.  As it happened, I flew into it and died.  To be fair I was somewhat demoralised by my prev losses.

So 1 win, 4 losses.  Came tied second from bottom with 3 others.  But killed more than them, so was top of that little pile.  Something I suppose.

Got another in March. Probably going Imperials.  Get points for having the highest place Themed list for the A New Hope, My list is so bad, but it's fluffy, so theres that
