2014 Regionals results

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

I'm sooooooo tired of seeing most imperial lists running mini swarms. So **** boring and uncreative IMO..

I don't care how effective they are.. Just not my thing.

What would you run? :)

Triple BH would probably be effective if repetitive and nonswarmy

Spokane was played today.

1st - Echo w/ VI, ACD, Rebel Captive, 5 Academy Pilots

2nd - 2 Rookie Pilots, Blue Squadron Pilot, 3 Bandit Pilots

Top 4 - Echo w/ VI, ACD, Rebel Captive, 5 Academy Pilots

Top 4 - Han w/ Gunner, Falcon Title, Chewbacca, 2 Blue Squadron Pilots

35 in attendance. Had a great time. Thanks to Uncle's Games for Hosting.

Uncle's has submitted the full lists.

The TO said he would be sending top nine results of the 26 player event in Colorado, so I didn't copy all the lists down.

Top two lists were:

FIRST: Chewbacca w/Predator, Gunner, C3P0, and MF Title along side Corran Horn w/R2-D2, Engine Upgrade, Veteran Instincts, and Fire Control Systems

SECOND: Han Solo w/Predator, C-3P0, MF Title, Engine Upgrade, and Luke along with three Bandit Squadron Pilots

I am proud to say I accomplished my goal of reaching top 8 today with a TIE Advanced! :) My squad was Darth Vader w/VI and Homing Missiles, Howlrunner w/VI, Mauler w/VI, Backstabber, and an Academy Pilot.

Falcons as far as the eye could see in the top eight.

2 ship build with Corran. Nice.

I'm starting to feel the same way about Falcon lists.

At the airport headed back from DFW Regional at Madness Games and Comics. 72 players in attendance. Super well run event. 7 seeding rounds. At 5-2, I finished 10th, so no top 8 cut for me. So **** close.

Top list was Whisper w/ Vet Instincts, ACD and ???, Howlrunner and 3 Academy Pilots.

2nd place was 2Ys and 2Bs, I know there were Ion turrets, and the stress droid and advanced sensors. Not sure if the last two points were in use.

I was flying Han w/ Recon Spec, Merc Co-Pilot, Determination & 4x Bandit Z95s.

The more Falcons there are the worse the Phantom will perform.

THAT'S MY LIST! I've been very excited about trying almost this exact list as soon as I can get my hands on all the upgrades (**** 3PO...). And someone piloted it, a two-ship list, to first place! I'M NOT CRAZY! :lol:

Hmm. I had understood that he had - he was talking about it. I'm sure they're coming. He has your email.

Thank him again for hosting. Unfortunately we couldn't stay for the epic.

I have a sneaky suspicion you may start seeing more and more E-Wing's running about. Not only is it showing up in top 8's now but it is a very capable ship.

Nice work Hexis! Sorry you couldn't squeak into that top 8. 72 players is huge on top of being one of the heaviest US Regional weekends. Was it poor SOS?

I think it will be less the Ewing an more the pilot abilities,

Almost done with the e-mail, but a little redundancy won't hurt, especially for the top cut lists (the email will have the top 16).

Plano, TX held their regional yesterday. There were nearly 70 people. I am still gathering the data and will post it hopefully soon.

Specifically, I don't have the finishing order, but I do have the top 8 builds (it was a cut to top 8). I'm waiting for the TO to get back with me and I'll post it.

Interesting point, only 2 of the top builds did not include a Phantom or a Falcon and every build included something from wave 4. Out of the whole field for the day, I believe there was only 1 TIE swarm player. Given how much effort FFG has put into neutering the swarm, it would seem they just managed to replace it with the Falcon Super Tank.

Regionals in Romania (Bucharest) were held today (21st of July). We had only 9 participants, but it was our first tournament, yay! Many thanks to Wargames store for hosting!

We had 4 rounds with top 4 cut:

1st place, Imperial 99 points(6-0): Echo + VI + Gunner + FCS + ACD, Howlrunner + Stealth, 3 x AP

2nd place, Rebel 100 points(4-2): Corran Horn + PtL + FCS, 2 x Rookie, 1 x Gold

3rd place, Rebel 100 points(3-2): Etahn A'baht, Blue + FCS, 2 x Blue

4th place, Rebel 100 points(3-2): Wedge + Swarm Tactics + R2-D2, 2 x Rookie, 1 x Gold + Ion Cannon Turret

Other builds: A double Falcon list (Chewie + Lando), XEE (both named I think), EAX (Corran Horn, A-Wing with ordnance), 2BH (Kath + BH) + 1Tie, Carnor + Soontir + Tetran

Blue//Advanced Sensors x2

Gold//Ion Cannon Turret/R3-A2

Gold //Ion Cannon Turret/Flechette Torpedoes

Interestingly, while Falcon builds seemed to saturate all levels of the tournament, Phantom lists tended to be at the lower tables.

Wow, that's disappointing. I would have thought that more people would have made the trip there.

How many were from interstate/Melbourne and how many locals?

Hobart is a city of 200,000 on the island of Tasmania you cant just drive there from Melbourne or Sydney. you would have to fly or take a boat so its not as accessible as you might think, though for a city of that size I would have hoped for a few more people than that.

Edit: opps just checked your profile and your from Aussie! very sorry didn't mean to sound condescending or anything just figured you didn't know.

I have been emailing the TO from Uncles Games, I should have the exact elimination brackets soon.
