Atlanta store championships kick off today

By nikk whyte, in X-Wing

I'll try to keep an updated look on the day's developments as it goes.

Any word on stream or possible recording for later use?

Any word on stream or possible recording for later use?

We actually had a last minute store closure that forced us to change venues about 2 weeks ago, so streaming is unfortunately a no-go at the moment.

What happened to FCB?

Quick highlights heading into final round of Swiss

2 palp shuttles in top 8

Crackshot swarm, with 2 FO and howl

Quad Y, half TLT half ion

Agressor, thug, starviper

Wedge, Miranda, Jake

43 in attendance.

I hope the swarm wins

Swarm currently the in top 4 against a Vader/palp/carnor list. Other match is 4 Y ions/TLT mix.

Of note: starviper, aggressor, thug took sixth

No Poe in top 8?

No Poe. Not even a soontir. Did see a whisper/oicunn, dash/tycho, starviper, and generic t-70's make it.

I made top 8 with wedge, Jane and Miranda.

(99)

Jake Farrell (31)

Crack Shot (1), Proton Rockets (3), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Veteran Instincts (1)

Miranda Doni (37)

Twin Laser Turret (6), Tactician (2)

Wedge Antilles (31)

BB-8 (2), Integrated Astromech (0)

Got knocked out by the crackshot swarm, which lost to Vader/carnor/palp, which beat the oicunn/whisper to win it all.

Thanks for the updates

Sensor jmer on a palp-shutlle seems like a good idea to me.

The two players who made Top 4 and Top 8 at World's this past year with a Palpatine/Sensor Jammer shuttle thought so as well.

Wow. Very impressed with this player going for the ballsy VI Carnor and taking it to the top.

Also, know this isn't the Atlanta championship, but BIG nod to this guy who took 1st in Swiss and in the cut, Jeremy Maciejewski....

With not one, but TWO of the must underused astromechs in the game! Congrats Jeremy!

His Thug had TLT and Unhinged, and the viper just had Autothrusters. IG88B Had VI, HLC FCS, Autothrusters.

I was the dual TLT/Dual Ion Hog player, I played him twice. He beat me in the Swiss and I beat him in the cut. The second was the most stressful game of the day in Round 1 of the Top 8.

His Thug had TLT and Unhinged, and the viper just had Autothrusters. IG88B Had VI, HLC FCS, Autothrusters.

I literally had to make sure that fit in a 100 pt squad because I was a little skeptical haha. Very cool list.

But but but what about my list?!

What was the Crackshot swarm list?

Sensor Jammer on a Lambda gets nuts if your opponent gets denied the focus action.

I've kept a Palp shuttle at (near) full health for like 3-4 consecutive turns with Palp's ability, Countermeasures, and Sensor Jammer. My opponent didn't have focus for whatever reason. Their tears were so delicious.
