So, fresh from my success of not losing all my games at MK with KineticOperator's six sigma (went 4/6 and finished 12 out of 30+) I decided to try my luck at Aldershot. Quite a few people from my local store were going too, so it was bound to be a good time.
Echo location.
Echo, veteran Instincts, sensor jammer, rebel captive and advanced cloak
2 x sigma, enhanced scopes, intel agents and stygian particle accelerator
First opponent was Imperial.
Rexlar, lone wolf, heavy laser cannon
Howlrunner
3 academy pilots
My opponent was a friend of a regular at my local store, but I'd only played him once before. He admitted he had no idea how to face my list. I gunned for rexlar early on due to his weird opening, and managed to reduce him to 2 hp but then had to tangle with the Ties. made a few mistakes with Echo, and lost 2 sigma's for killing everything apart from a tie (I think).
88-58
Second opponent was scum.
Torkil Mux, ion turret, greedo
2x ps2 y wings with BTL-A4 title, ion turrets and agromechs
2x ps1 headhunters.
This opponent was a regular at my local store, and I'd gotten the train down to Aldershot with him. I'd had a practice game on thursday vs this same list, and I lost quite convincingly then. I knew from experience that I had to try and take down Torkil at range 3, otherwise I would lose.
I spent the first 3rd of the game running around and trying to draw him in, then an almost disasterous block from him made me have to bump a cloaked echo, or suffer a range 1 salvo from one of his y wings. but I did a beautiful decloak and k turn with Echo. I traded a sigma for Torkil and a bandit. after that it was pretty much over and I think I killed everything bar a Y wing.
74-29
Third opponent was Imperials.
3 alpha interceptors with autothrusters
2 academy ties
dark curse
This opponent is also a regular at my local store, and a pretty good swarm flyer. He's also known for his pretty bad luck.
I'm pretty confident about approaching a swarm that flies in a block, but 2 blocks can be pretty tricky. I tried to draw him in so I could pounce, but he was vey good at limiting Echo's decloak locations, and it was thanks to sensor jammer that I was able to keep Echo around at all (having to barrel roll or bump in order to get shots on me). Much furballing and having to switch targets meant not a lot of damage, but it added up. I managed to take out several ships and lost a sigma to the second last shot of the game.
64? - 29
Game four was vs Imperials.
Rear admiral, veteran Instincts, vader, rebel captive, Issard, engine upgrade
Whisper, Veteran Instincts, fire control system, advanced cloal
My opponent was also a regular from my local, and I'd played him quite a bit, but not that much recently. He'd won a store championship last week so gave the same list a try. This list looked like a nightmare for my list, and it was. Using what had worked in my previous game, I tried to draw him in, then try to keep echo at range 3 where I could, and cloaking and decloaking the sigmas so I could have a focus and an evade when I had to attack.
It had mixed results, I lost Echo, but managed to down whisper with a sigma thanks to a lucky 3 hits vs a cloaked whisper with only 1 shield left. With 2 sigma's vs a boosting decimator I knew I had my work cut out, so flew as well as I could, alternating blocking with 1 sigma while attacking with the other from range 3. I messed up and lost a sigma, and we went to time with both the decimator and my last sigma on 1 hp each.
32-71
My fifth opponent was rebels.
2x dagger b wings
4x tala headhunters
at last! my first opponent who I didn't know. I really liked the look of this list, a ps 4 rebel swarm. Shooting before my sigma's.
We set up for the joust, but there is no way I'm jousting that. I managed to force a bump with a cloaked sigma, then did my trademark "last game of the tournament" move and parked Echo on a roid, luckily I was out of arc of every enemy ship and also didn't have to go over it the next turn. I made him split by blocking some moves, and Echo tore into his fleet where she could. I Managed to kill 5 ships, with only a b wing surviving, for the loss of a Sigma.
76-29
It was supposed to be 6 games, but due to a few people dropping out last minute, they went to 5 so we could actually have a lunch break. with 4 full wins and a loss, I was pretty confident about making the cut, and make it I did, coming in 5th.
First knock out game.
Scum
IG-88B, predator, advanced sensors, heavy laser cannon, innertial dampeners, auto thrusters.
2x ps2 y wings with blaser turrets and agromechs.
Yet again this was a regular of my local store (5 of the top 8 were, including myself, my 3rd game opponent and my fourth game opponent).
Before game four I had been chatting with this guy, and we had agreed that I would be a bad match up for him, but instead I got to lose to a deciphantom.
He set up his Y wings centrally and the agressor on the right flank, while my ships were on the left. I decided to rush the y wing closest to me, which turned away while his agressor moved towards me. I chucked Echo round to his side of the board (range 1-2 from his edge) and managed to reduce IG-88 to 1 hit point remaining. Next turn I killed him, and my opponent conceded as there was little his Y wings could do to stop my sigma's or Echo, and we were both tired.
Second knock out game.
I played the same deciphantom that I had lost to in round 4. Unfortunately I was totally lacking the same mental fortitude and planning that I had in round 4, and lost rather quickly 
My opponent had obviously learned a bit from our earlier game, and I conceded after I had lost Echo and a sigma for 9 hit points remaining on the rear admiral and an untouched whisper.
So I came 4th at the last store championship I would be attending, and best result out of the 3 I could attend.
I walked away with my second alt art Soontir card, focus tokens and the dice bag.
