Had my LGS' store championship on Sat and it was a great success. The store is about an hour from the Twin Cities, but we still had 20 out of 25 people show up which was pretty good, more than I expected. To be honest I thought I'd end up in the top 8 by default...
Had a ton of variety, with all kinds of lists, a swarm, brobot, palp mobile w/whisper, a 3 K-Wing list, a number of different 4 rebel lists, a Fat Han, so all in all it was a great mix. A friend of mine from the store came in 5th with a 2/2 record which says something about how the games were going. He missed 4th by 25 points of MoV.
Myself I didn't do well, ended up 1-3 but I had a cold and was not able to focus on the games. I didn't play badly, just was off by a step and couldn't close the deal in the first 3 games. But I enjoyed all 4 games so not winning didn't bother me any really.
I was flying a Blue Ace w/R4-D6 and IA, a Y with TLT, a HWK w/ TLT and Dash and a Green Squad w/Wired, PTL and AT.
The funny thing was, and what made the whole sore cheer in the last game was that I killed both the Shuttle with Palp and Whisper using the HWK's primary attack. Both range 1 attacks but that does say something about how the green dice can just completely fail you. But to be fair... I only needed 1 damage on both when they died.
