Starting to worry...

By Spaceman91, in X-Wing

So Saturday is a local store championship. Im really looking forward to it but now only a dayish away I'm worried that I have completely the wrong list. I tried it on Tuesday and it went 1W/1L. The loss was me being too eager to get stuck in and messing up really badly (Miranda had 1 hull left after turn 1).

So I'm mainly looking at people to tell me to stop worrying like a muppet.

The list is nothing flashy (Read as dull) but I wanted it to be resilient (you can give advice if you like)

Poe + VI + R5-P9

Miranda + TLT

Garven + R2-D2

So yer does everyone get this nervous (I'm not going for the win just looking to not embarrass myself)?

the wrong would be r2-d2 garven still being incredibly squishy while depriving poe of thrusters and miranda of c3po

Don't worry!

It sounds like you got unlucky with Miranda, what happened there?

I don't think you'll have any particular troubles with the list itself. I'm no expert but it seems solid and you will just need to make sure you fly well on the day.

I declared Slam and as soon as I had the template in my hand I knew I had messed up. Pull in to range of dash and Corran.

Double taps hurt

Even if you don't change anything else, you might want to see if you can get your hands on a couple of copies of Integrated Astromech. That should beef up your X-Wings a bit.

I unfortunately don't have C3PO ..... yet ;)

I have them and the guy I played said the same. Now I think I really will have to drop them in.

They are free, they fill a slot you aren't using, and are kind of better than a shield upgrade.

Yes IAs should help.

Or

Do you have R2-D6?

Put D6 and Veteran Instincts on Garvin so he can fire before Miranda and pass the focus to her to modify both TLT shots, or to Poe if you think he will need it to trigger R5. This frees up 2 points for Thrusters on Poe or a Bomb or crew on Miranda.

I do have R2. I hadn't though of that. Thank you.

just Curious.... which tourney are you going to?

The above lists have sound advice for your list.

As for your jitters- that's normal. Is this your first tournament? My biggest advice? Go and have fun. Fly casual. Be a good sport and thank each opponent for the game whether you win or lose. Remember it's a game, you should enjoy it. If you place high enough to get some swag, that's great, but really the best thing up for grabs this Store Championship season is C-3PO, and you get him just for showing up. ;)

Good luck! May the Force be with you!

Just think about why you play this game in the first place. That warm and fuzzy moment when you KNEW this was the game for you. Can you picture it?

Now, what this Saturday is an opportunity for you to play 4-6 games (maybe more if you're lucky) of that game you love! What is there to stress about? Imagine how much you'll learn in one day!

Now get out there and kick some ass!

Dude, I just looked at your profile. You are in England and its like what, 1:30am there? Go to bed man, you got a big day ahead.

Have fun and good luck!! And then tomorrow night, let us know what your final list was and how ya did.

Edit: oops its only thursday. You got an extra day to prepare. My bad. Been a long week for me so I was wishing it was friday.

Town called Reading

Tactician on miranda is quite nice for Justa control build. Even if it doesnt trigger it alters the way your opponent plays against you.

I have one sat too... Corran and Dash are tough.... Don't be discouraged....flown well they are beastly.

Just go and have fun...sometimes overthinking your list will drive you nuts!!!! I know list lock has gotten me a number of times. :)

A couple of games is not nearly enough to gauge how effective a list is. Fly what you know!

stick with what you know. sometimes the dice don't roll your way sometimes they do. "Think long..think wrong" relax and have fun.

If you aren't going to use C3PO and Auto, at least give both Xs the Integrated Astromech??? PLEASE?

Just borrow it from a friend? Buy two T-70s? You get 2 more hull for literally 0 points.

Otherwise, as they said, the astro that gives you an EPT, take VI, pass Focus to Miranda before firing. Then use the extra 2 points to give Poe Autothrusters. And buy one T-70 expo to get the Integrated Astro on Garvin.

If this is what you know, and what you're comfy flying, stick with it. But ADD THOSE.

As far as the nerves go.....yes, I get nervous. Its part of being new. Enjoy the feeling. when its gone it wont be as interesting.

The Store Championship I won I went into trying to win, yet I knew even if I didn't win I would get a bunch of games in with my then prototype list and get a bunch of practice and ideas on how to tweak the list.

If you lose round one, don't get discouraged. Losing round one enables you to get matched against people who likely aren't good and lost round one. In other words, you get to club baby seals all day.

So, either you win a game and that's great.

You lose round one and can climb to the top on a pile of noobs clutching expose or marksmanship cards. The blood of the innocent, yessssssss. *rubs blood over torso and shivers*

Regardless of whether or not you win you still get practice, and you still can find errors in the list.

Don't stress out. You're playing this game to enjoy it. Being stressed is a great way to forget about triggers and stuff.

Yeah, and you can't do actions

Hey Spaceman91,

Stop worrying like a muppet. :)

I can but wish you DICE HEAT because otherwise I'd call that list just

dead meat.
