First tournament 2-2

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

On Saturday I played a local store tournament. It was my first time playing Star Wars more then just moving around ships and reading forums. This is what I ran,

Shuttle with engi and adv sen. (28)

Turr with PTL, Shield (32)

3 Ob Ties (36)

So the first round was a total loss but I took out 56 points it was more of a learning game. We ran rebel stuff I can't remember past that. I was more focused on asking questions and such.

2nd round was vs three x-wings . Turr took a turn off the board and I was left with a 1 hp shuttle taking on Luke with an R2D2 I took out 52 points, but had a total loss.

Round 3 I got my barring and played against Interceptors. What is crazy is my ps3 going before interceptors. I felt in control for the first all night. Best shot of the night was, a roll at range 3 through an asteroid at an interceptor, with a stealth dev, I rolled a hit and crit. He rolled 5 blanks and 1 focus without any tokens. I yelled so loud it stopped everything I killed his Turr in a crazy shot. (He had taken an asteroid damage during moving) I lost two ties, he lost everything. (26-100)

Round 4 was Two X-wings, One Y wing and 1 Hwk. I lined the right side of the map with the shuttle hugging the board, the my ties were next to it. Turr started on the far left side. I moved everything forward and Turr flanked so well. By the time we got to shots it seemed that everyone was range one of each other. I lost my shuttle on the opening fire but I destroyed everything of his everything leaving the Y. It was finished off on the next round. (29-100)

Ending in 7 of 14. So not to bad in all.

I learned two important lessons first everyone goes for the shuttle, and the shuttle is very good at blocking . I think I stopped Luke three rounds from moving past it and with the eng upgrade it moved so fast.

So a big thanks to all the people I have bugged over the last month. (The podcast guys- Mr froggy and the oter two peoples and so many more my brain is not work today)

nice effort. love seeing shuttle squads do well. my favourite loadout for the shuttle is Buzzsaw = Omicron/Fire Control System/Gunner/Engine Upgrade. 32pts for a durable heavy hitting shuttlebus that can outrun most ships in the game.

Awesome. Sounds like you probably could have been 3-1 if you wouldn't have lost Turr. Good showing!

It's going to be fun come wave 4. Shuttle with 5 ties vs outer rim with 5 z95's. I can't wait.

Yea I was going to have Turr go after Luke the match up should have been at the end him and the shuttle getting it done. But I was very happy the guys all helped me out. It was a blast of a weekend
