Ok so the Poland National are finished! It was my first big xwing event, and in comparison to WH40ks that i attended though my life this was overall the best tabtletop event ever, so big gratz to TOs!

So to the batle report, unfortunatly i didn’t made it to top16, but well what to expect after first big event:)

First i wanted to field:

FatHan/Jake 97pts build

or

Chewie

+luke

+title

+c3po

+pred

2xBlue Squadron

But first my mates from team made a hype that this build gets eaten by TLT, and second day before my neighbour gamer posted that hes willing to sell his almost new Most Wanted set so…

I ended with:

Boba Fett

+VI

+RecSpec

+Inertia Dampenerers

+EU

2x Syndicate Thug

+R4 Agromech

+TLT

List i never even flew with Yolo:P

Ok so round 4AM wake up, 3h in a train, and finally Trident Squadron arrived at the event , quick sing up, and here comes the pairings.

Round 1.

My opponent, Maggie, fielded a bit weird squad consisting of FatHan with C3PO replaced by tactician and Miranda Doni with EU and TLT. Unfortunate she was only starting her xwing career and forgot about lots of things with hers Miranda. Fortunate for me cause i made some really stupid mistakes in this game. She fielded her ship in the middle, i fielded Boba on the side, and Ys in the middle with instant bank towards empty edge. As to expected i focused falcon while she focused Boba and after 3 turns boba was reduced to 4 HP while i managed to get falcon to 3 or 4 hp too. And then it was round of mistakes, i read her maneuvers incorrect and send my Y into pointless walk around big asteroid that made them useless for 2 rounds and due to little dispute over the asteroid forgot to focus my recspec boba. VI let him made one last range 1 salvo at the falcon that left him at 1hp before leaving the battlefield. Next the Ys finished falcon without problems and left Miranda shieldless. Maggie decided to play on time and slamed kwing hell out of my range. So good luck Ys catching her. Time was called.

13pts victory for me.

Round 2.

Another girl as opponent, my wife would be jealous

So this time i was against SuperDash with Ten Numb as wing man. Natalie painted her Outrider with Kermit the Frog so it was really fun to look at this ship

So here we go : she fielded Dash in one corner and Ten in other while i fielded all of my ship in the center. First round i launched with casual 2 strait, while she stalled with 1 front and barrel zigzaging her edge of the board. I was more than happy to position myself on a perfect spot to shot dash with all my ships. Boba entered range 1 and i was really happy that he is safe when Natalie said “prockets to boba” …hell you should see my face when she did it. Prockets are not your everyday SuperDash equipment:P Fortunatly it ended up with only 2 shields falling from Boba.

That was the game when TLT shined. The were consistently pumping 4 dmg into Dash each turn (focus+agromech, REALLY made them consistent on that dmg). So it ended up with Dash on 1hp, and in range of both TLTs Boba with shields still and Y on 1 hp left. Dash managed to finish that Y while other Y finished dash. Ten tried to shoot Boba but he couldn’t do much this match. Killing Ten was a chore now.

74pts victory.

I was pretty happy and really hyped cause 2-0 , that meaning i need 2 wins more to have chance of entering top 16 and 3 wins more to have it guaranteed. Well but then came round 3.

Round 3.

That was a disaster. Paul, my opponent, fielded another scum Boba but this time with K4, Gliterstim and PtL accompanied by Bosst with mangler, outlaw tech, k4, and weapons engineer.

Well long story short my one Y was gone by round 2, killed by glittered Boba and Bosskss mangler. Well even Paul was suprised by this alpha strike. And since they were in formation another one had no way to escape now and he was gone in another 2 rounds. My boba in the meantime pulled some really impressive flying with epic handbrake stop when he was side by side with enemy boba, but well he cant out shoot 100pts by himself. That was really short game

Some mistakes on my side by letting that alpha take on Y on the go, costed me 0-200 lose. Well shame.

Round 4.

Aaaaaaa the z95 swarm led by Ethan and flew by guy from Kopenhaga i think , that sorry i cannot recall Your name, mate:(

So i know its gonna be tough game even that i had more than enough means to take one ship at a turn. But my opponent was a Jedi i think. He read all my plans like a book. Every time my Ys wanted to turn to avoid Zs fire the Zs were slowing to 1bank to keep em in arc. Same goes for alpha strike on Boba he read my maneuver. Boba was a crit magnet due to Ethan here, he snatched Weapons Malfunction, Console on Fire and Sensor Damage. And without any modification the dice had no love for me and Boba didn’t down a SINGLE ship this game. Even he had shots most of the time. My Ys on the other hand managed to kill 4 Zs with epic green dice rolling 4 evades in a row. If not Ethan handing crits left and right (2 Directs on Ys and whole list above on Boba) and a little more love from the dice that could have been win, but this way 42 - 100 loose.

Round 5.

I was pretty tense here cause i needed 2 wins now to even thing about getting into top 16. And hell…another swarm…

This time 3AP , Howl and Echo commandeered by Peter if i recall correct. We all closed into pretty close meelee with boba rerolling all of his dice all the time and Ys trying to get out of there.

He made really unfortunate maneuver that made Echo skim the edge of the debris and my Ys were ruthless to exploit that leaving him on 1 HP. With them killing Phantom next turn and Boba making short work on Howlrunner odds were a bit more in my side, especially that Boba was still on 5hp. 3 remaining AP managed to kill my Y and it was down to 5hp boba vs 1hp AP and 3hp AP. So that sould have been easy win. Boba showed his skill in rolling blank dice again. He rolled blanks ALL THE TIME. He had epic clear shot, while beeing out of arc himself and did not manage to get even 1 dmg….long story short, one AP killed himself on a debris while other had epic 2xcrit and hit roll on range 1 (that boba of course let both crits hit…) both directs….Boba suddenly 1 hp vs healthy AP. I tried to play on time but it was still more than 10 minutes on the clock. 88-100 loose.

That game made me want to sell (burn?) my ships for a while…seriously that was my win that diced snatched away

Round 6

So since epic dice rolling snatched my top 16 last game i came to round 6 really relaxed and without any pressure.

I was against Mangler Outrider and Chewie with Lando as a crew. With both of us out of top16 we both played really casual game. TLT equipped Ys againg proved to be really awesome dash killers and again made short work on dash. So i ended up 1 damaged Y and shieldless Boba vs shieldless Chewie. We had really funny chase of 2hp Chewie 1turning around debris that i missed and landed on it with 1 hp Boba. I pulled 1 hp into chewie and died due to not having focus cause of that debris.

Even i lost 50-100 that was most fun game of the tournament, due to overall chill on the table (i rolled dice to attack, my opp: man i forgot lando:/ gooo ahead roll him.. ).

In the end in the finals FatHan/Jake met with 4tlt ywings...and the TLTs became official Poland National Champion

ps. Sorry about mistakes. Fatigue/hangover/and writing in work take its toll ^^
