Just played a game against my sister, who fielded Han, Luke and Rookie Pilot against me. I got Kath Scaarlet (Mercenary Co-pilot, Engine Upgrade, Marksmanship) + 3 Academies and 1 Black Squadron with Swarm Tactics.
Well the game was extremely frustrating from start but it ended up us laughing hard. Why? Because I have never in my life thrown so badly...
Kath is probably cursed or something. Or all my attack throws...
The beginning was looking grim for Luke as he stood alone against my TIE mini-swarm, but although his shot missed, none of the Academies scored a hit.
Laters:Han did a wrong maneuver and ended up just on the asteroid before Kath´s guns. She rolled four blanks.
Long story short, Scarlet didnť score a single hit although she had NINE opportunities (some even with Target Lock and Marskmanship activated). She died without single accomplishment.
Tie-swarm did a little better. Took out the rookie and Luke but the last two of the TIEs, damaged,lost to Han.
All in all, not a fair game, I crossed asteroid one time, got hit. Sis crossed asteroids seven times and her ships did not receive a single scratch.
So, I´m rather depressed my better flying skills weren´t rewarded. But tommorow shall my pain be eased! Expansions! Quite a lot of them. Especially looking forward to using my Tie Interceptors and Shuttle. Empire shall prevail and crush the new Rebel Scum (B-Wings, Y-Wing)!
Fly casual!
