Hi all!

My local shop just started a new league last week, and I wanted to record/share how I end up doing.

The league is set up to do scenarios that generate bonus points for winning in the scenario.

First week: Large obstacle! The player that has initiative has to place a single asteroid within the normal borders, but once that asteroid is placed all subsequent asteroids need to be touching at least one other asteroid.

Well, this created an interesting dilemma for me. I started with a list of Krassis + 2 RG Intys. I made some bad moves and lost the intys pretty quickly. I moved Krassis pretty well and ended up taking out all but his b-wing. Ended up being a close match, next time I'll have a bit better list and fly it better! (Switched the RG inty's to have PTL, which they were missing!)

Second game I made up for losing. I took 2 Daggers w/ Adv Sensors and 3x Prototype A-Wing pilots. I was flying against a Whisper + Howl mini-swarm. I won initiative, so I placed the asteroid dead-center. I created a mini-wall which my opponent kept going with, making it harder for Whisper to decloak. The game started with me on the left side, both of his ships on his left. I was able to quickly get around the asteroids and get into the TIE swarm causing a lot of bumping and quickly eliminating a TIE. A bad-move later, and Whisper was in the arc of 1 B-Wing and 2 of the 3 A-Wings. Poof, he exploded. I then spent a couple rounds mopping up. Only ended up losing 1 hull off of a B-Wing and shields off of an A-Wing. Was a great game!

Second week was a bad one.

This weeks event was an Assassination match. Defender had 150 points, chose a target ship. That hull cost 2x as much, but got 10 points in free upgrades.

I lost initiative, so I got the attacker role. I had to field 90 points, and decided to use Chewie in the MF as my main attack ship.

My list:

Chewie in the MF, Outmaneuver, Gunner, MF Title and Engine Upgrade.

Green Squad x2 with Chardaan refit.

This list would have allowed me to get an additional achievement for the league by winning a match with hulls released in Wave 2.

My opponent:

Tycho (target) - Test Pilot, Chardaan refit, PTL, Daredevil, Shield upgrade

Keyan w/ fcs

Biggs

ORS w/ navigator

Might have missed an upgrade or two.

I made some bad moves with Chewie that ended up getting him too close to everything and he was lost first. I got biggs in Round 3 (dice weren't in my favor), but lost chewie in R5. I ended up getting Keyan with my a-wings, but then I was chasing Tycho around. Lost a second a-wing in a bad maneuver and conceded the match.

I want to work on learning the Falcon more. Having it at R2+ seems to be a good idea trying to avoid incoming fire while being able to return fire.

I want to get my achievement for flying only wave 2.

If I can get that this next week, then I will go back to my BBAAA list (one with ads or the other with FCS/Ions) and get better with that.

I want to be locally competitive!
