I want to see what other people are winning with to see if the meta has changed a little bit.

Um, this might be better in the Organized Play or Battle Reports topics... just sayin'...

Maybe. I can't move them after they are made and this gets a lot more traffic.

if i can find the out i will post up, to be honest i cant remember them lol

Location: Brisbane, Australia

Players: 5 (lots of late pull outs)

List:

Bounty Hunter - Gunner

Bounty Hunter - Gunner

Saber Sqdn - PtL

Shot a bunch of stuff, used all of the available space.

Hard 2 turn:

Koigan 3: (Removed the focus token that had accidentally been left on from the previous turn and added a stress after this photo was taken)

Wow, cant get much closer!

Played in Sydney today, 4 players not a big turn out of the usual suspects unfortunately.

I pulled the win with my indescisive list that I only nailed down as we put the cards down.

Krassis - HLC, Gunner

Backstabber

3x Academy Pilots

2nd was

Ibitsan - PTL, EU, HLC

2x Blue - HLC

they were tough to take on, they threw down so much **** red die and we was wiping out my TIEs but I wore him down with his low agility

3rd was

2x Blues but one had HLC and the other had AdvS he said he didnt want them both on one to be too much of a target.

2 gold squadron with Ions

this was my 1st match and finished on time with a modified win to me, was such a tough list to wear down.

4th was similar to mine

Krassis - Autoblasters, Gunner

3x Alpha Sq Pilots

he had the worst run of dice hating him all day, think he may be burning those die, he'd got his interceptors in such good positioning and then after killing Backstabber the Academies tore them apart

I'm curious to know what builds you faced.

And one list I didn't get to see! Though I think it was a swarm!

I think I'll write up a report, as each game I played was quite a battle, and I only succeeded with some nice defense dice at clutch times! Also to note, I matched against 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place.

Glad to see this as im looking to track down good local places to play.

There were ten people at the tournament.

I just got back from first Store Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. We had 20 participants and we played 4 rounds with Top4 cut after the swiss.

The winner played:

Han Solo (Push the Limit, Gunner, Chewbacca, Millenium Falcon, Concussion Missiles)

Wedge Antilies (Push the Limit, R2 astromech, Engine Upgrade)

... he only fired his missiles ONCE during all of his 6 matches

The runner-up played:

Luke Skywalker (R2-D2, Draw Their Fire)

Biggs Darklighter

2x Rookie Pilot

Other Top4 players (they agreed not to play another match, for the prizes were the same):

1. Han Solo (Expert Handling, Gunner, Recon Specialist, Millenium Falcon, Shield Up)

Wedge Antilles (some stuff, don't remember exactly, possibly R2-D2, Shield Up and Determination)

2. Wedge Antilles (R2-D2)

Biggs Darklighter

2x Rookie Pilot

So yup, it was pretty Rebel-heavy, though the first Imperial list palced 5th

Rebel heavy seems to be a trend of this topic.Makes me think i shoud switch to Rebels before our store championship.

Right to say that there are more rebel players, wrong to play rebels because of that. Instead, you should build your list with the idea that you would be facing more rebel lists

WOW, some TWO SHIP builds did well. A few YT+2 builds did well. Two Garven/Dutch +2 squads winning with a lot of other four rebel ships squads in the list. A basic Bounty Hunter x3 won along with a Buzzsaw swarm and other large ships showing up with various fighter support. There are even a few swarms in the lists although most don't look "pure". Maybe the most surprising list is four ship Imperial list that is heavy on Bombers.

My next championship next weekend will be with a tie swarm. Day after, I will probably play a 4 x-wing squad. Weekend after that I probably won't play in those two. After, it is going to be a Kath + 2 Saber squad.

3/1/14 - Above Board Games: Fort Mill, SC

1st: 2 BH's with Gunner and 2 AP's

2nd: Biggs, 2 Daggers with Advanced Sensors, Rookie

3rd: Jan and 3 X wings (didn't see the complete list so I don't know the details on upgrades, named pilots, etc.)

4th: 2 Blues with HLC's and 2 Rookies

Congrats on the win again, nimdabew. I was your round 3 opponent, with the 2 X's and the 2 B's. The game with you was easily my favorite of the day. I thought you made some brilliant maneuvers with Chewie in the YT slipping through the asteroids after the first engagement round there.

I won a tournament in Omaha with close to 20 players.

My list was

Chewbacca gunner EH

Lando gunner EH

Top four included a triple firespray and two swarms.

The flying pancake can be hard to control. Your game was the hardest of the day and what was I was very worried about going into the tournament. The last game came down to a very close 2 turns at the beginning that went my way.
