Post your Fortress List.

By DraconPyrothayan, in X-Wing

I have a Fortress Build for the IMP. The build is really awesome, as the ship's are get every action that they they should. Should I play it a the local tournament.

Keep in mind, there are potential social costs to fortressing every game in a tournament that lie outside the scope of the tournament. As you may have seen, a lot of players get really angry when they see this strategy, and using this strategy might paint you in a negative light with those players.

But if you think fortressing will give you a better chance at winning than normal maneuvering, and you don't care if some players might think less of you, than yes, you should use your fortress list at the tournament. And then if you win, come back to these forums and post your list and results.

I think it was a case of the fortressing player breaking formation in the final minutes to zip out with the goal of killing a single TIE Fighter just before time was called, winning by 12 points. I think that's what he did, and it worked, but only because the TIE rolled so super badly.

Yes, the part about breaking the formation and killing the TIE is correct, but he wouldn't have been able to do that in 1 turn if the other player had been in the opposite corner, he was only able to do that because the imperial player was dancing his ships around right outside the fortress gates.

Hey sorry to necro this thread, but just wanted to let Tvboy know I stayed in my corner and was not in the center of the field. Richard had 2 more turns to book it to my side after the turn he shot out of the fortress, and got Range 3 shots on 1 of my TiEs. 7 blanks later and a few unsuccessful shots back, the game was over :)

I mean, it was linked in a necro'd thread that was linked in a more recent one, so I can understand. Chain necromancy, muahaha.

Not quite getting what you're trying to say there. Keep in mind that I have no interest in rereading posts I made 5 months ago, but I am interested in what happened in your match at Worlds.

What I'm saying is that I was in my corner when the game ended. Richard broke out with ~5 minutes left in the game. There was 3 turns of movement, hence why he was able to reach me.
