Hello folks greetings from Italy

This is my report about regionals that i played have fun!

The List: CHEWBO 100 pts

Chewbacca (51)

YT-1300 (42), Predator (3), Gunner (5), Millennium Falcon (1)

“Leebo” (49)
YT-2400 Freighter (34), Predator (3), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Recon Specialist (3), Outrider (5)

I play this list for many months: starting in February, for the entire season of Store Championships with great results. With the release of "mango cannon", the list has lost one of its biggest weaknesses: The Leebo's "Donnut Hole" giving me 3 points to spend on a predator on him.

Lets go!

Milano Regional May, 24 - 40 Players - Top 8 - 5 rounds of swiss

1) Vs Captain Oicunn + intimidation + rebel captive + dauntless. Soontir fel + ptl + stealth device + royal guard tie + autothrusters + Dark Curse

Very bad match up for start this experience!

I decide to tackle frontally Oicunn, being able to concentrate the fire. the Early rounds are really violent, but I resist. My opponent brings Soontir too early to R1 from Chewbe and i took advantage.

Soonti shoots, but takes little damage on chewbe, chewbe responds with 4 dice: As I expected, Soontir dodges, I use Gunner: hit hit focus and blank, i re-roll the blank result for an hit and use the focus. Soontr takes one damage and loses the stealth device then Leebo takes him down thanks to the crit from mango cannon that is a double hit! Now the game is on my side. My opponent wrong two times to select the side of the maneouvre of the decimator that moves dangerously close to the edge of the table, with 5 hull point left, the next round, despite to the maneuver, a corner is off the table and it is destroyed. My opponent concedes the game [ W 100 - 0 ]

Now the SC byes go into action!

2) Vs 3x Blue Squadron piliot, 1xBandit and Roark Garnet on HWK with autoblaster turret

Another one bad match up the B-Wing are very hard to take down for my double team

The best game of the day: I set the obstacles field to force my opponent to open the formation, and it work. That give me some round to study the opponent's moves and start hitting the first B. My opponent do a great job with Roark, giving ps 12 to the most damaged ship each round to prevent it from being shoted down before he is able to shot. He takes Chewbe as the only target, and force me to take each round the evade action for dodge a few shots. The first blood is mine: One B, but chewbe start to suffer the shots from the other two B-Wings, one of those have no shields but my opponent force me to shot down the Z95 that is dangerously at R1, but fortunately away from Roark then the next round Chewbe is destroyed but Leebo takes the second B-Wing

It's time to run away for Leebo the time is near to be over and he have only 3 hull point left. I have the chance to take Roark with 3 hull point left but my opponent dodge 2 hit over 3.

And now one terrible mistake! instead of take a maneuvre that put me in safe, i do the 3 hard turn, coming to range from 1 roark, and also taking an asteroid, and the damage

Roark shot with the autoblaster turret, but wit no target lock: HIT and CRIT

I need only one evade to dodge the crit to survive, and win the game: BLANK AND EVADE!!! [ MW 56 - 51 ]

3) Vs Aggressor C + Mango Cannon + adv sensors + ptl + autothrusters, Z95 Binayre pirate, 2x Syndacate thug + title and autoblaster turret

I setup Chewbe and Leebo in front of the aggressor, and with a 3 straight we start the fight very soon. The Syndacates are away, on the opposite side of the field i hav time. I'm on r1 from the Aggressor, and he is inside my firing arcs then the autothrusters are useless and i start to take hits on its hull. Then my hopponend do a K-turn with the aggressor and is behind me, but i'm again really close and after its turn of fire, chewbe and Leebo together, takes him down.

Then follow the Z95 that was spare, near the aggressor while the Syndacates join the fight, but is too late to regain the game, and turn after turn i shoot down they too [ W 100-0 ]

4) Vs Twin Aggressor B+C ( standard build )

Nothing to say about this game, really impossible for a two ships list with turret. I try to use Chewbe and Leebo like "normal" ships to enable the autothrusters but my opponent roll the green dice very well in adding to the free evade and the focus and also the red dice [ L 0-100 ]

5) Vs Dash Rendar + title + HLC + Proton Rockets + Engine Up + Kyle Katarn + PTL and Jan Ors + Chewbacca + autoblaster turret + title + engine up + VI

I Have 13 turnament points, to pass the cut i have to win!

My opponet use the engine upgrade very well and soon is at range to shot. He choose Leebo as the first target ( less hull point ) and start to fire 5 dice thanks to Jan Ors's ability, but i have Chewbe on my side that fire him back together with leebo.

Then i move my ships at R1 from Dash, to dodge one round of HLC and force him to use proton rockets on chewbe, blocking him with leebo. it works, and Chewbe takes a really good shot on him. The next turn, Dash shot on Leebo, but incredible 5 blank dice!!!! Leebo shot on Jan Ors together with Chewbe, and my opponent discard his chewbe crew to discard a damage and revover one shield.

Leebo is destroyed by an autoblaster turret attack, but i have Chewbe with no shileds and all the hull points and i start to fire on Jan Ors from r2 and 3 and there is no hope for my opponent with only one red dice and no k-turn on HKW's dial. [ W 100 - 49 ]

-------

I am fifth after Swiss

TOP 8: Vs 2x Syndacate thug + title + ion turret + uninghed astromech and 2x Syndacate thug + title + ion turret + uninghed astromech + bomb loadout + seismic charges

I'm really tired, and despite to the ion turrets i decide to hit hard my opponent and after the first round of fire i've shot down one Y but Chewbacca takes 6 attacks from the others and is ionized.

The Next round he land on a rocks, taking the damage, i shot with leebo, and then, my opponent do again the same work 6 attack and chewbe is lost

i take one another Y with Leebo, but too late, and i loose. I would have to play with more calm, but after 7-8 hours of play I was really exhausted. I'm happy for my opponent 'cose is a dear friend ( He Won the tournament at the end )

----------------

Modena Regional June, 14 - 39 Players - Top 8 - 5 rounds of swiss

Another one epic battle among the stars!

1) Vs Biggs, 1x Gold Squadron Pilot + title + ion turret + R3-A2 and 2x Blue Squadron pilot + B-Wing/E2 + Tactician

An epic match, with an epic friend!

The 3 main ships scare me a lot, especially the B with the tactician. Chewbacca will make a single action of evate throughout the game, going around with four stress.

Another friend, we played against many times in tournaments, in a local shop and he play this list for a long time. I have not try to fight against, Phantom after the nerf..

My opponent moves very well the swarm trying to block my movements, but I carry it where I want, my opponent forget two times to decloack the Phantom and this delays its entry into battle.

I Shot down virtually, a Tie each round but Chewbe still remains with 4 hull points, thanks also to the Phantom which finaly joins the party.

I have to start thinking about the Phantom: Despite of decloack, chewbacca move to block his next 1 hard turn maneuver and prevent the Phantom shoots. Leebo is outside the arc of fire of Whisper and I remove the shields to the Phantom.

Now i force my opponent to a K-turn to try to break down chewbacca, but rolls, and re-rolls only two hit and chewbe has a evade token and roll one evade.

Chewbacca and Leebo together smashing Whisper that can not cloack because of stress. [ W 100-0 ]

3) Vs 4x Blue squadron Pilot and 1x Z95 Bandit

The worst match up!

My opponent sends forward the Z95 while B approaching me from behind.

I Shot down the Z95 without problems.

But I have to face 4 B Wings !!! I suffer, many shots but I shoot down a B, damaging another ond that remains with one hull point.

My opponent puts it in safety making her escape.

I have to start to shoot on a healthy B

I accumulate damage over damage and I can not shoot down one newB before it place the decisive shots of Chewbacca. Leebo finish the job but he is damaged and is destroyed by the 2 B Wings left..

( L 56 - 100 ) I'll still be the player, who has downed more points at this opponent throughout the tournament ( two times )

4) VS 2 Rookie Pilot and 2x Blue Squadron pilot + HLC

I am completely exhausted from the previous game.

I take advantage almost immediately, smashing the two X but I suffer the shots of HLC on Chewbe.

Fatigue emerges, and instead of perform a 2 hard turn maneuver up ( we are on the bottom/left of field ), I make 1 hard turn down having two B near, think they want to stop me but They remain in place, and in this way i put Cewbe just to r1 from them.

I shot, and then Chewbe is destroyed.

A B-Wing is seriously damaged, I can still win..

Leebo shoot with the mangler from range 2: hit blank focus i re-roll the blank for a focus, then i spend a focus token and i take 2 hit and 1 crit for the mango.

My opponend dodge one damage, and survive. And now is the B turn: Leebo has 2 damage already assigned: My opponent rolls hit hit hit , i roll 2 green dice with a focus but ..... the results are 2 blank

gg [L 42-100]

5) Vs Jan Ors + title + autoblaster turret + Nien Nunb + Engine Up And Fat Han ( I do not remember exactly the configuration but there was C3PO and Engine Up )

I have 10 tornaments points, but a very high Mov, I don't think anyway to pass the cut to Top 8 winning 'cose there are 2 or 3 players with at least 13 points.

I enjoy the game, relaxed trying to win, to get at least in the Top 16.

Violent game, we start to shoot from the first round but Han Solo have to deal with two ships. The target of my opponent is Leebo.

Jan Ors remains out game simply giving extra dice to Han.

I stay pretty close to Han that is now at the mercy of my attacks and I Shot down after three or four rounds.

Jan Ors "Blaster" on Leebo that suffer it: 3 hull points remaining on it.

The Net Round is the last one: I'm ad R2 from Jan Ors that can't shoot: Leebo and Chewbacca finish the game.

[ W 100- 0 ]

--------

All players at 13 points, have lost!. I am the eighth ranked, the first player at 15 points !!!

At the end, all the points taken in the two lost games gave me a boost!

Top 8 Vs the same BBBZ of the Swiss

I'm happy at the end, the result for how things were made, is great.

I try to play to the best of my ability, but the game is essentially very similar to the one of the Swiss.

Certainly the pilot ability of Leebo not help when you have to choose between this couple of critics: 0 Ps and "not attacks on next time you roll attack dice" and also 2x two damage cards

[ L 56 - 100 ]

I have the pleasure to lost again Vs the final winner of the tournament I bring luck!

Nice report, I'm the Dash-Jan build guy

Those five blanks (and the 3 previous ones to flip Damged Sensors Crit!) on the shot that'd have turned Leebo into spacedust just killed my opportunities to reach top-8, but you deserved it!

It was a funny game, even if it was clear that the winner'd have advanced to top 8 and the loser'd get nothing (in fact, i ended 17th, so not even shield token for me )

Congrats!
