I didn't think Imperial Aces were tournament legal yet?

They aren't but someone didn't get the memo apparently.

juggler i had a 100 points list just dont sayin the upogrades i used ;P

:P

Since I'm entering points spent per named pilot, and you refuse to say what it is, I'll just assume that you had Stealth + Swarm Tactics on Howlrunner and Mauler, and Stealth on Backstabber. 100 points with 3 academies.

Universe Games, Minneapolis MN 3/29/2014

17 players.

1st: Bloody Daggers (2x Dagger Squadron Pilot B-Wing w/ Advanced Sensors & 2x Red Squadron Pilot X-Wings.)

2nd: Garven X-Wing, Dutch Y-Wing with Ion Cannon Turret and r5k6 Astromech & 2x Blue Squadron Pilot B-Wing

Super well flown matches. 6 long games.

There were actually 19 players. :D 4 rounds of swiss and cut to top 4. It was a fun day.

3rd/4th was a Han Shoots First (Han+Marksmanship+Gunner+Chewie, Rookie x2). I'm not sure what the other 3rd/4th guy was flying.

Thanks Derbes, I fixed.

Borderlands Games, March 29th, Salem, OR, 18 Players

I won with Luke - R2-D2, Shield Upgrade, Draw Their Fire; Horton Salm - ICT, 2x Proton Torpedoes; Biggs

2nd Soontir w/ PtL & Stealth, Dark Curse, Backstabber, OGP w/ HLC, Adv Sensors, Engine Upgrade

3rd Howlrunner w/ Swarm, Saber w/ Swarm, Saber, and Alpha x2

4th Han w/ MF Title, Gunner, Chewie, Shield Upgrade, V!, Dagger w/ HLC, Targeting Computer, APT

Looks like I was the only person to win so far while using Horton. Who is a seriously underrated pilot.

Horton is like a selfish Howlrunner. I really can't wait to try him out.

Rook's Comics and Games, March 29th, Bozeman, MT, 9 players

1st: Han + Chewie (not sure of upgrades, I think gunner on Han and Draw their Fire on Chewie)

2nd: Bounty Hunter w/ gunner x2, OMG with Recon Specialist

3rd: Dutch Vander w/ Ion, Gold Squad w/ Ion, Rebel Operative w/ Ion and Recon Specialist, Blue Squad w/ Advanced Sensors

I don't know what fourth ran.

It was a pretty good mix of ships across the tourney, with a large number of big ships. I was third with the Ion list, two wins and a loss against the guy in second.

Battleground Games, Plainville, MA yesterday. 18 players, mostly Rebels. The winner (#5 from Pandemonium) flew a slightly different list this time:

Yeah I think that's the first Horton!

Plenty of new updates for me to pull in later. I have all the named pilots by points, resulting base ships by points (points on non named ships), and turret points. I'll try and get it all posted tonight.

Named pilots represent almost 40% of points spent at last tally.

Game On, McCook, Nebraska, yesterday. 10 players, w/ 7 rebels and 3 imperials. The winner flew:

Lando w/ Expert Handling and Gunner

Chewie w/ Expert Handling and Gunner

I lost to this list by a single hull point. It was a great game, and a well deserved win on her part! I lost only the one game, using the following:

Gold Squadron w/ Ion Turret

Thanks. I'm going to take a little liberty, and assume that it's a 100 point squad, and put it in as 52 points on Han and 48 points on Chewie.

Cedar Falls ran its Store Champs today.

1st place: Jon with Lando+Chewy both with Gunner+EH

What's the store name and where is it located? Thanks. :)

Edit: approximate headcount would be good too.

Commentary:
  • The named YT-1300 made its way into the "non-named" list because its the only way to get the higher stat line on the YT-1300, so its essentially a different ship vs the ORS.
  • The rebels have obviously made a big surge this weekend.
  • Chewbacca barely beats out Howlrunner for most points spent.
  • non-named B-wings get used more than any other non-named ship, by a wide margin. Right now, non-named B-wings get used twice as much as non-named Y-wings, TIE Interceptors, TIE Bombers, and A-wings combined . This might change when Rebel Aces is released and they get better pilots.
  • X-wings have some amazing pilots, but the base ship isn't used nearly as much as the B-wing. I think the excellent X-wing pilots are carrying the ship's overall numbers.
  • A large amount of points are spent on named TIE Fighter pilots, but then they're pretty cheap and have great abilities, so no real surprise there. It's certainly not all just academy swarms though.
  • The TIE Advanced's non-named usage finally got above zero.
  • 6 named pilots still have not been used.
  • Han might have won the Millennium Falcon in a card game, but apparently Lando is still better at flying it. Barely.
