Another picture of the Room

My list

Han, Vi, C3P0, R2D2, Title

2 x Blue pilots

Been using it for a while, it is getting to the stage where more counters to large ships are coming out, so this is its test for regional, if it fails I have been working on a back up plan for a little while now

So a quick break down of my games followed by a break down of the top 8 :)

Game 1

Wedge, Marksmanship, R2D2

Horton, Ion Turret

Farlander, PTL, FCS

So a interesting build to go up again, and a quite a straight forward win in the end, with Han just taking range 3 shots and letting the B-wings get into the mix to cause problems

Win 100-22

Han Looking Menacing

Game 2

Dash, Title, Mango, Lone Wolf, Recon, APL

2x Blue, FCS

Interesting game where Han couldnt hit a Barn door, his blues made mince of mine, without taking much damage back, for some reason I couldnt hit them! and then they hunted Han down

Lose 24-100

2015-05-03%2B11.42.24.jpg

Dash and Han have sights on each other

Game 3

Shuttle, Vader

Vessery, Ruthlessness, Cluster

Soontir, PTL, Title, Targeting Comp, Autothrusters

So Rexlar shot off his cluster to great effect, but for 2 turns he didnt roll a single evade so he was gone as well as a Blue, and then Soontir went over a rock and straight into Han.. so no actions and then rolls a crit for Structural damage, and the last Blue takes him out of the sky, after that it was just about hitting the shuttle as many times as possible

Win 100-22

2015-05-03%2B13.37.59.jpg

Shuttle is the last man standing!

Game 4

BBBBZ

NOOOO the kind of list I didnt want to play!

But we got dug in, usual stuff, Han around the edges and the B-wings causing problems, my B-wings were able to block so well he went 2-3 turns without a shot.. and that was massive, time my B-wings went down he had a Headhunter and 2 blues, but 1 blue had 3 Hull left, and 1 had 1, the 1 will 1 hull ran off, and allowed me to put some more damage onto the other one, but in the end Han picked off both B-wings and then the Head-hunter to finish... but not without cost, he only had 2 Hull left!

Win 100-44

This was the game of the day for me, good laugh and so close

Game 5

Rookie

Garvin, R2D6, Vi

Dutch, Title, Autoblaster, R5-K6

Cracken, Swarm, Hull

This game didnt go well, he picked off a Blue a turn and then just hunted Han intill there was nothing left

Lose 28-100

2015-05-03%2B17.06.36.jpg

Chasing the Falcon

So 3-2 and no top 16 for me

A few 4-1's didnt even make the top cut!

Final result was I finished 24th

Anyway Top 8, I only have some of the list information.

I also dont know the Swiss order they finished, so this is just in a random order

Player 1.

Dash, Pred, Recon, Title, HLC

Chewbacca, Pred, title

Player 2

Duel IG list

Player 3

Rookie

Garvin, R2D6, Vi

Dutch, Title, Autoblaster, R5-K6

Cracken, Swarm, Hull

Player 4

Soontir, Title, Ptl, Stealth, Autothrusters

Carnor, Title, Ptl, Stealth, Autothrusters

Royal Guard, Title, Ptl, Stealth, Autothrusters

Player 5

Dash, Mango and title, cant remember the rest

2x Blues with FCS

Player 6

IGB, PTL, adv sensors, HLC, autothrusters

IGC. PTL, adv sensors, MAngler, Autothrusters, Inertial Dampeners

Player 7

Dash, Title, Mango, Lone Wolf, Recon, APL

2x Blue, FCS

Player 8

IGB, PTL, Adv sensors, HLC, autothrusters, Inertial dampeners

4 x Binayre pilots

And so it went like this!

1v2 (win for 1)

3v4 (win for 4)

5v6 (win for 6)

7v8 (win for 8)

Top 4

1vs4 (Win for 4)

6v8 (Win for 6)

Final

4 bears 6!

So 3 Interceptors win the MK regional! :)

Thanks for the write up. I hope this means you retire Fat Han and go with something different. I'd love to see him removed from a large percentage of tournament lists.

so say we all.

I was really happy with the variety of lists I saw. While there were quite a few double D's and double falcons/falcon outrider, they didn't dominate as much as I thought they would.

Also the winning list is so great :D

Yep Han might go away we will see

I quite practiced in swarm flying so might go that wa

Yep good amount of different lists with BBBBZ being the most popular build by the sounds of it
