Dan reports from the Stele Open!

By Sanguinary Dan, in X-Wing Battle Reports

i suck at this. I was so jazzed to start playing that I forgot to take pictures.

Round 1: I faced Mike with VI Chiraneau with the Emperor and a Fell with Target Lock. Mike focused down my B-Wing and then I rolled 0 hits on my return fire. After that I spent the game trying to squeeze Fell and failing. I got half points on the Decimator but lost all 3 of my fighters. :(

Round 2: I ran into Ghost plus Dash. Patrick flew Dash in happy circles while the doggone ABT on Ghost chewed up Ello and finished him off. After much grinding I was down to a B-Wing without shields versus Dash with 2. You can figure out how that ended. :)

what list did u use?

what list did u use?

I want him to keep recapping his games so I can figure out the rest of his list! So far it's Ello and a B wing...

I used Keyan w/FCS, HLC, VI, E2 & Hera; Ello w/ Adapt+1, R2 & IA; Red Vet w/ CS, R4D6 & IA.

Round 3 was against a very nice 12 year old young lady flying a pair of Wardens w/ TLT & Adv SLAM along with Wedge w/EU and CS. I tried to be a gentleman and still ended up destroying her 100-28.

Round 4 was against a Palpmobile and Carnor + Fell. It was a complete ice cold dice game for me. He did more damage to his Interceptors with asteroids than I did with shooting. I couldn't even get half points on the shuttle. I enjoyed my opponent just as much as the prior games but was really pissed at myself. I lost 0-100.

Round 5 was Dengar and Malleterteat (or something in a YV-666) and I can't remember a thing about it beyond the fact that I left Dengar with 1 hit point and the YV with 3. I lost 50-100.

Round 6 was a Doomshuttle, Omega Leader, Wampa and Carnor. It was one hell of a fight where we swirled round and round for the full 60 minutes. The highlight I most remember is catching the Intercetor at the edge of range 3 with the HLC and watching him roll pure blanks. Poof. After that it was cold dice city and I had to grind away ending with only Keyan alive versus a crippled shuttle and Omega Leader. I lost something like 57 to 59.

I had a great time and played some great people. But I really have to play more often and get sone properly fixed dice if I want to do better in these events. :D
