my first swarm game

By ravensshade, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Played my first swarm game yesterday using scum z-95's on vassal

list:

6X black sun soldier with hot shot blasters

versus

corran horn + r2d2

tala bandit

and keyan farlander + stay on target and HLC

forgot the rest of his upgrades

the game was fun though my opponents dice were really against rolling hits or crits...

one Blacksun died t2 due to being focussed by all 3 enemy ships

keyan died t3 after 3 hot shot blasters brought him down to 2 hull followed by a direct hit crit

meanwhile 2 of my suns lose their shields

turn after that after a dial mistake on my part one of my blacksuns flies off the board

and one of my blacksuns get's lowered to 1 hull

corran takes focus fire with the remaining 2 hot shots and 1 regular shot.. bringing him down to 1 hull which he brought back up next turn

turn after the tala dies and another blacksun is down to 1 hull

sadly i had to go then. with 2 1 hull and 2 shield less z95's versus his corran

I'm quite sure this was a fluke with the amount of misses/focusses he got and my less then stellar piloting... was surprised at the effectiveness of the hotshots though
