What was you regionals moment?

By Darkhorse659, in X-Wing

As the title says, what was your big move or flop either way that was awesome at regionals? For the Canadians on the forum you might say the TSN turning point.

For myself it was saying screw it I'm dropping all my bombs, four seismics that collectively dropped Howlrunner and two ties while Jonus one shoted back stabbed in the same turn. I didn't see it happening like that, and it doubt my opponent did either, but it worked.

So what was your big moment?

So what was your big moment?

When I broke my rule of always focusing down the highest threat first and instead went for the support ships, + found myself suddenly in the finals.

In over a year of playing X-wing I have not had one draw. First round BAM! Both of us killed 75 points.

Last round before cut to top eight in Bellevue regional was on the feature match table. My soontir three tie shuttle list vs bloody daggers. After three rounds of shooting all that stands is Soontir Fel, a damaged b-wing, and a full health Bwing and Xwing and the camera batteries ran out. I proceed to outmaneuver and destroy all three remaining rebel ships over the next fifty minutes. How I wish I had that on film.... Nothing my opponent did wrong really. Soontir Fel just can be a total beast sometimes.

In my first one, it was letting fatigue get to me... I sent my 2 health Biggs who was previously flying behind 2 enemy (stressed) X wings in FRONT of them (at R1) in order to protect my 1 health Y wing... Needless to say, Biggs died, and then the Y wing died... and I was left thinking "WTF just happened" ... It wasn't until the next day when I was recounting the event that I realized how huge of a mistake that was... Go Go 10hrs of X wing!

In my second one... There really was no turning point... I got matched up against my local buddy who ended up in the final 4 (losing a close one to the champ) in round 2 after we both spent our store byes... And it came down to the final round of rolls, where I failed to do 1 damage to an academy (which would have killed him) ... who then proceeded to kill my HWK. Had I rolled 1 more hit, the academy would have died and I would have had a modified win... Instead, the HWK died, and he got a full win. The dice continued to fail me the next 2 rounds (Biggs was 1 shotted at R3 with a Krassis HLC (hit hit hit blank (rerolled crit)... blank blank blank... draws direct hit... Then Hobbie was 2 shotted the same round at R3 by two shuttles... hit hit hit, blank blank blank... hit hit hit, blank blank evade) before giving me enough of a glimmer of hope that I could POSSIBLY make the final cut, only to lose due to SoS.

Underestimating the fatigue of a long day of gaming. Granted i've been to countless GenCons where 14 hour gaming marathons were nothing, but we had some breaks and it was different games.

A marathon of the same game, and you start confusing what you did against what you should do with what you actually did. :(

For me it was my 6th game... Was 1 win and 4 losses playing some guy with 3 Bs who had no wins... At range 3 he had 10 shots (1xHLC) at my bounty hunter with vader and hull upgrade. Proceeded to do 12 damage total... Turn 3, he killed Krassis in one volley, again at range 3, doing exactly 10 damage in 10 shots... I think its the fastest game ive ever seen that didn't involve flying off the board :-/

Rolling less than 10 evades total over 3 games while flying a character TIE swarm. The whole day wasted thanks to my Ag dice... grrr

Hmmm. Worst moment. Against a Scarlett cowgirl list where I dropped the shuttle in the first 2 turns then fixated on the 2 tie fighters and lost. Best game was against a interceptor swarm that came down to a one x wing v one interceptor joust.... rolled one less hit than I needed. Wtf moment. Having learned my lesson from the 1st Scarlett cowgirl matchup tabling the next guy who ran Scarlett cowgirl in 10 minutes. .... I felt kinda bad after that one because of how quickly it went.

So far it seems like more bad moments than good.

Losing in the top 4 where I knew I had a bad matchup. Afterward realizing I was handed a $300 pair of dice!
