Crimson Dragon SC report

By VanorDM, in X-Wing

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.

I never do well against the HWK's main gun at range one for some reason also

He was surprisingly survivable. The cool thing was I actually got to use everything in my list at least once.

I had 2 or 3 shoots that would of been obstructed but wasn't thanks to Dash. The nice thing was, it wasn't that I let a rock get between the ships accidentally I did so on purpose so I got the extra die and he didn't.

Integrated Astromech paid off huge, I got to use it all 4 times. Even R4-D6 paid off, got shot by Whisper with 4 <hits> and my T-70 had no shields, I ate the 2 stress to bring it down to two hits and then ejected the astromech after to discard one damage.
