Unless their opponent is running Luke Gunner. Then it's game over.
XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread
Small report from Birmingham!
Brought my usual QuickStar, and didn't make the cut with a 4-3 
Almost there. .. almost.
@FTS Gecko is going to play and try to make the cut tomorrow!
More details in a couple of hours and tomorrow.
GUNBOAT
Also, back to page 1, where this thread belongs.

Gecko went 3-3, then went for beer!
And what beat the Gecko? GUNBOATS!
Lost to Kylo and 2 X Rho, and Quickdraw and 3 X Nu.
This has been a crazy fun weekend!
Spoiler alert - there is going to be some EPIC Gunboat action tomorrow as well. ?
Flight Officer Gecko and Director Quattro playing Team Epic right now.
I like your GUNBOAT flavoured bromance!
Won the first one!!
gunboats sacrificed themselves but the Defenders brought swift and terrible justice upon the traitors.
"This is Rho 2 - target destroyed!"
Waiting in queue to play with Alex Davy.
I reckon the Rebels will win this one. ?
Just watching the final of the European Championship. RAClo/QD Vs Palp Aces.
Unfortunately no Gunboats, but all Imperial final!
Great to meet you guys and Alex Davy today. Euros where a blast.

Great to meet you too! Always good to see fellow forummers.
Agreed, amazing weekend all round
All over. RAC managed to take down Quickdraw, but the Inquisitor finished him off.
Congratulations to the 2018 European Champion, Benjamin Lee!

Hey there playernumberthisthatandthatothertoo ?
Glad to meet you and thanks again for allowing me to play against Alex!
If we meet again first round of drinks is on me.
Achievement Unlocked:
Definitely the UK Game Expo was an astonishing experience.
Quick resume of it:
- xwing European championship
Went 4-1 and almost made until I found Dash, my bane. Ended 4-3. oh well.. went to hangar bay where I had such a great time (and lots of fun) fighting tight matches against very skilled opponents.
- Team Epic:
A bit fuzzy-handled situation led to a delay which limited the time available for play. Initially we were meant to play two matches to determine the prizes but we ended playing just one, getting both the epic movement template and the acrylic shield tokens. Not too bad, I'd say!
I so love Epic. 
- X-Wing 2.0 with Alex Davy
Great time trying out the new stuff from the rebel conversion kit.
Played a 4 ship swarm with Corran, Thane, Arvel Crynid and Airen Cracken against luke wedge and Norra
So far I think it is awesome and it is exactly what this game needed, yet I won't get into details now. 
Cheers.

There's nothing like a bit of GUNBOAT on GUNBOAT action, is there?
We have plenty of pictures. Spam at will. ?
@FTS Gecko if only we could have gotten that whole salvo of missiles on that raider! ****! ?

That won't be necessary Director, we need a statement not a manifesto.
Edit: Oh go on then
Edit 2: Slightly unfortunate angle on that Raider...
Edited by FTS Gecko
My gunboats and raider won this one on time.
That transport fell in one round of HLC shooting. The resistance bomber and U-wing were taken care of by the raider and Jonus.
