Round 3 vs tanner running chewie with Jan, Kyle, ptl, mf title, blue with tactician and rookie with r3a2. I was glad to have yorr this game, because he came up big with the stressing. I managed to burn chewie down in 3 rounds. Then I focused down the blue. I lost carnor and mauler that game. Yorr had 1 hull left, and FW had 2 hull left at the end, but I ended up winning 100-47. 3-0 505 mov.

Round 4 vs Jason from MN. He is running chewie and eaden. I made a lot of mistakes that game, crashing into myself so I wasn't getting the double actions. And the dice were such that he was picking off a ship every round. lost that one 100-0, as he was getting clutch evades with eaden when he needed them. 3-1, still 505 mov.
Edited by hothieRound 5 vs Brian. I was getting a lot of good 3 and 4 dice shots while focused, and according to my opponent, about 80% were blanks. It was just frustrating because I was doing what I was supposed to do and getting good shots that just wouldn't hit all game long. My squad was doing what it was supposed to do, but he flew a really good game and got the win 100-0. 3-2 now.
May I ask if there is a twitch broadcasting feature matches for the tournament ?
I'm, I think there is, but I don't know.
Sixth round I faced John running dash, ywing, awing.
I was able to burn the ywing down, but not before he dropped his prox mine on Fels Wrath for 2 hits. He got the shuttle down to 1 hull, but yorr rolled some clutch evades. Won that one 100-23, only losing Fels Wrath.
So I finished 4-2 for the day, with a squad full of things you are never supposed to do in xwing. Not too shabby.
Hothie,
Gotta say the guys from my group loved meeting you. I think you made the event for them.

Thanks, Ryan. That was the best run Regional that I have attended. Well done to you and the BGB crew
Nationals are in a month, are you going to attend? I don't expect to be as lucky as two years ago, but would be nice to see you again! I am still flying a firespray, I just learned how to use Engine Upgrade (Well I think I have)! Yeah, I am slow
Unfortunately no, I'm not planning on it. I might even skip Chicago, although it sounds like a group from my area are doing Chicago, so I might.
Bonne chance Mon ami!
Hothie, I've really been enjoying Kath with Mangler, Rebel Captive, Lone Wolf and Engine Upgrade. Still trying to find the perfect pairing but right now trying Whisper.
Edited by DanathAt the Milwaukee regional. I'm running:
Fel's Wrath
Jax with vi and at
Mauler with vi
Yorr with Fleet Officer and advs
Round 1 vs Jeff. He ran Fel, Max, and rgp all with ptl, at, stealth.
I put a thrust control crit on Fel at range 3 (all blanks). Then next round finished him off with jax next round. I got his jax blocked in and kturned behind him and finished him off. His rgp went evasive and it almost went to time, but I finally got him, only losing yorr. 1-0, 170 mov

Great game Hothie, I really enjoyed playing you with my triple interceptor list. I definitely appreciated your creativity with the virtual PTL on your interceptors via the shuttle. That first roll was so cold - 5 greens at range 3 and all blank! Holy crap. Well, so it goes. My luck continued that way for the rest of the tournament. At least OH went much better for me, WI showed me no love other than the great organization by Board Game Barrister - which was a fantastic store. I'll be taking a new list to Nationals. Hope to see you there or at another regional next year!

Rexler /w HLC and Predator seems like a good fit for Kath.
I love your 7 deadly sins list! I must say that I think Kir Kanos with a fleet officer OGP is a great idea, and it seems like a fun list to play. I also want to try out Tetran Cowall with Predator, as his dial will be wide open, and with a focus from the FO he will hit pretty hard.
