Last weekend I had 2 friends to play our first 3 player match, each max 100 pts. It was a lot of fun, thought I should share. I made pictures but how can I upload them here?
Here's what I remember from the lists, maybe missing something:
- I played Imperial:
Captain Oicunn with Dauntless title, Fleet Officer, Anti Pursuit Lasers+ Rexler Brath with Predator, HLC and Prockets for 99 pts.
- Friend 1 played with Rebels:
2 Green squadron A-wings with PTL and Chardaan Refit + 3 Bandits + Airen Cracken with Squad Leader for 100 pts
- Friend 2 played with Scum:
2 Tansari point veterans + Torkil and Palob, although I am not sure which upgrades were on which HWK... At least these were on them: Recon Specialist, Moldy Crow tittle, blaster turret, autoblaster turret, Gunner, Hot Shot blaster. I thought for sure 1 of them had bodyguard as well, but when I think about it that does not make much sense looking at the pilot skills. Only Torkil would make sense but he can't take that upgrade... Not sure if the Scycks were naked or not, but I am missing some upgrades here as it was 100 pts.
I think this was the weakest list, though he does not own the game and was just his 3rd game of xwing so makes sense it is not an competitative list.
We played on a double map (6x3) with just 6 asteroid tokens. I started on 1 side in the middle of the map, Rebels started on the opposite side in the left corner, Scum on the Right. Since they were a long distance from each other and I was in the middle I thought I had to make a choice to go left or right so I was not attacked from both sides in the middle. I chose to go to the right and face the Scum first.
Scum and Rebel flew right at each other towards the middle. Mean while I was trying to corner around the scum player so I would get behind them with Rexler and ramming with Oicunn. Oicunn did at least 2 damage while ramming, maybe 3 or 4 times. APL only fired once and missed:( I thought fleet officer would be great with Rexler but most times I though other actions were better and the 1 time I wanted to use it Rexler was out of range so never used the card... Oicunn was fun and did some nice damage but got lots of return fire from scum and fast moving Awings so Oicunn died pretty fast. I managed to kill 1 hwk and 1 Awing and damaging 1 Scyck and HWK a lot which were soon destroyed by the Z95 miniswarm. At first I was cautious with Rexler and did not do much shooting the first couple of rounds (I only had 2 ships and knew that Oicunn was going to ram and die fast), Rexler did roll bad once and lost 2 shields early on.
Then the rebel player was dominating with 1 Awing and all 4 headhunters left. Scum had just 1 Scyck left and he took a run from battle to avoid getting shot. Thats where the rebel player made a mistake. He chose to follow the scyck with 2 z95's (which they failed to do because of better dial and barrel roll of the scyck) and kill my Rexler with the other 2 z95's and the A wing. The next couple of turns I one-shotted both z95's while taking 3 more damage. Then I followed the other 2 z95's that were trying to get the scyck while the Awing was tailing Rexler. I killed 1 more z95 and the scyck managed to get the last damage on the last z95.
So now it was really close game, each player with their last ship, all allmost destroyed with one or 2 hull remaining. With some clever moves and barrel roll I got out of arc for the scyck (which K-turned and faced the other 2 ships) that I failed to hit at range 1... The scyck then had to shoot at long distance at the A wing and managed to get the kill. Then 2 more turns and I managed to kill the scyck with 1 hull remaining. GG
I did not thought I was going to win, really great that it was such a close game where all 3 players were so close to winning in the end. Rebel player should have won and made the mistake to underestimate Rexler.
