My Imdaar Alpha 2nd Place Winning List

By Quiben, in X-Wing

Hey guys,

I played in the Imdaar Alpha tournament at my FLGS over the weekend and managed to get 2nd place with the following list -

Lando - PTL, Chewbacca, Nien Nunb, Engine Upgrade, Falcon Title, (57 pts)

Luke - PTL, Proton Torps, Shield Gen, R2D2 (43 pts)

Now, I'm not sure how great the list is, but it was very fun to play. I was able to absorb a lot of damage with these guys and dish quite a bit back out. I went win, win, loss, win for the matches. I won the first round against a slave 1 and two tie list. 2nd was against a rebels B,Y,A list. Both of these I won by focusing on the heavy hitters first and ignoring the smaller ships. Round 3 was a tie swarm with howlrunner mixed in a block of 6 ties and carnor jax free floating around. I nearly won with a crippled lando, but a miscalculated move saw me land on top of an asteroid and get blasted by the remaining ties. Round 4 was against three interceptors and a tie. Carnor was in the mix again and I managed to take him out right away which was a weight off my shoulders.

When all was said and done I took home a Z95 and had a great day.

I'm enjoying seeing the meta shift back towards "any list can win" style. For so long, the TIE swarm seemed to dominate this game's landscape but you've shown that even a 2 ship list can work.

I did double cheeseburger with Lando and Chewie, I like not having to aim. :P

Ah, but did the swarm that beat him take 1st?

Anyway, that's a helluva ballsy list to run these days--aside from the proton torps, that's only 6 attack dice per round. You must have some good flying skills to wring the most out of a list like that.
