Hoth Open reports?

The dial upgrades do look nice.

I bought a pack last night after noticing some wear on my IG dials and I am very impressed by them.

Doesn't matter... looks like he tables his opponent anyway!

Get that Shuttle's wings down, dagnamit.

If Paul Heaver flies his shuttle with the wings up, does that make it ok? Not saying I don't agree with you, but with all the Imperial Aces copying the Podcast guys and a World Champion... I expect we're going to see a lot of "wings up" action...

It's cleaner for competitive play is probably the reason.

I bring my wings down when victory looks imminent - its a psychological maneuver, akin to Gary Kasparov taking his watch off when he had a won game :-)

YV-666 seeing some play

also, I think that "how to take a picture with your phone" should become a part of our education system.

Team Covenant ‎@teamcovenant

Our own @zachbunn tables his first opponent at the#xwingminiatures #openseries! #xwing @FFGames

I was curious about the card and I asked and Team Covenant replied that the BB-8 Aurubesh card is a participation prize!
Pretty cool to start seeing some cards like this appear. Even if I may not hold one anytime soon...

The Rebels are behind the other two factions by the slimmest of margins in total numbers at the #HothOpen! #XWing

Interesting breakdown! Thanks @FFGOP!

Yes, but the top tables are being dominated by the Imperials from what I can understand.

Yes, from what we heard yesterday, the Imperials were totally dominating the top tables. Will be cool to see if it stays the same or if something is going to happen that breaks through in today's tables.

Well I saw Jeremy Howard there, so there is at least one Palp Aces running around up there most likely.

I guess my trivia query would be: "Are there more Lambda Shuttles being flown than JumpMaster 5000s?" Considering there are going to be a few Triple Scouts, I figure it is a fair question...

Probably couldn't see a more balanced distribution than this. 1% deviance from average distribution is pretty darn good.

More from @FFGOP with TIE Advanced Prototypes:

Im actually surprised at the low amount of phantoms. I have been running Sabine and having a blast.

I spoke to the guy who ran that list. It is five of seinar adv prots with guidance chips and proton rockets.

Hooray for stats! :ph34r:

Thanks Sozin! The cards were hard to tell from the photo and I knew it had to be 3 point one way or the other and sure couldn't see that much Ion control.

I honestly would not be surprised if there were more than 34 Palp aces there, in terms of your gamble Grayfax

Out of 250 builds, that makes 85 imperial builds so less than half with Palp would be quite safe to say I would think.
