Your dumbest Tournament Mistake

By Crabbok, in X-Wing

I don't really screw up anything more than just forgetting upgrades, though I did watch as a friend flew Vader one game. He was fairly new, so I can't blame him too much.

Vader is cursed. Just is. The first three games he was flown, each time by a different individual, he's flown off the board. The first time was by a long-time friend of mine who happened to be wearing a shirt that had Vader and some Stormtroopers playing at a concert. Anyways, his first turn is a 3-turn, straight towards the edge of the board, guaranteeing he would soon be fleeing the battle. We all just decided Vader had a concert to get to.

Since then, he's always flown Vader, and doing much better :P

Round 1 of a local store tournament, playing a 6 TIE swarm w/ Howler. Deploy in the middle, move off the lower PS swarm. Realize I deployed Howler backwards and flew her off the table on turn 1. DOH!

I wouldn't say "cursed." It's just history repeating itself.

Mixed up my dials in a Z-swarm and ended up flying one in the opposite direction of the enemy and a second one right off the board.

I pulled out the win, but it wasn't easy.

Played a whole game with my dual Aggressor list this past Saturday and forgot to use Predator.....which was on both ships. At least I won whew!
