XXE versus Whisper

By Ologotai, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Hi guys

First game in a while last night.

I played as Rebels with:

Wes Janson with Veteran Instincts

Jek Porkins with Veteran Instincts, Flechette Torpedoes and R3A2

Etahn A' bhat with Push the Limit, Advanced Sensors and R2

Versus Mart's Imperials;

Whisper with Stygium Particle Accelerator and Tactician

Kir Kanos with Shield Gen

Saber Squadron with Veteran Instincts

Black Squadron pilot

We finished the game with Whisper down to one hull point and with two Stress on her versus Janson (one shield lost), Porkins (one shield lost plus one hull lost due to failed Stress removal roll) and Etahn(all shields lost).

The AS/PTL/R2 combo on Etahn was very useful and his ability to change hits to crits was a major factor in the destruction of the standard Imperial ships. I used Jek to put stress on Whisper with Flechette torps and R3 once only she remained and Janson's high VI-modified PS and ability to remove tokens was very complimentary.

This was Mart's first time out with the Phantom but nevertheless I see how dangerous this ship is. Whisper only de-cloaked to fire twice but with 5 attack dice at RB1 she is clearly deadly. As we all know the green dice can be very fickle but with an auto-evade token from the Stygium PA on cloaking she soaked up a significant amount of fire before I was able to chip away.

Great fun.

Cheers
