Turn 1:

Turn 2:

Realizing the Rebels messed up deployment bad. Shouldn't have split my forces perhaps.

Turn 3:

RAMMING SPEED!!! So an absolutely terrible crit allowed the Empire to change my speed to 1. That and the exchange of fire had doomed the lone corvette. IMAG0266.jpg

Turn 4:

So while trying to milk the last of the damage from the doomed one, the other one went down in flames. One turn was the death of two ships. Didnt stop the destruction of his Flagship VSD!IMAG0267.jpg

Turn 5:

Poof there goes my flagship. Unreal. Hot Imperial dice. Also, one hot roll from the B Wings.IMAG0268.jpg

Turn 6:

Awwww... Two damage short of wiping that 2nd VSD! **** your choke dice rolls!IMAG0269.jpg

End Game:

Empire Victory 280-131 pts (9-1 tournament pts)IMAG0270.jpg

Takeaway:

I like my 2 C90B and 2 NebB fleet. I saw the potential of B Wings with the right squad commands. I'd run that again, the caveat being if you are outpositioned, just fly to save your skin, don't try to be a hero and wipe the table. As usual, the GSD combo listed above is just nasty.

If you had had a bit more peat, the rebellion might have stood a chance... Ardbeg, Laphroiag, or Lagavulin!

Wow, very cool little battle report!

Now I suddenly have a desire to play a Glenfidich 12y Scotch vs my preferred Bushmills 12y Irish Whisky. Victory points aside, nobody loses that game!
