Going to the Warboar regional in Bromley tomorrow. Getting a bit excited (and quietly hoping that I'm not going to fly six games against bloody jumpmasters). Still can't decide between my evil A-wing aces or a crackshot swarm.
Anyone else doing regionals tomorrow? What're you flying? If you're at Bromley come and say Hi to the tired looking long-haired blonde weirdo!
I'm flying U boats (sorry, I'm trying to stay away from the palp aces!), but at a different Regionals event. Enjoy yourself tomorrow!
Am playing tomorrow as well. After much internal debate, have settled with Triple Aces (Squints) and to hell with Jumpmasters. Think I should've practiced a bit more but, oh well...At the very least, it'll be a fun first tournament experience!
I'll be sure to be on the look out for a long-haired blonde weirdo then.
I would fly A wing swarm if you expect a lot of U boats.
I'll be there. I thought I'd finalised a list of Fel, Omega Leader and two Sienar TAPs but, after three midweek games in which I was wiped off the board by ordnance or huge burst damage (Miranda rolling six red dice with chips is just silly), I'm seriously debating going back to my first love and having one last hurrah with the Firespray.
Looking forward to it though, all the tournaments I've played at Warboar have been incredibly fun.

i'm having a crisis of faith.
got my attanni build but after some complete massacre last night i'm considering to many other builds.....
Why A-wings over TIEs? I mean, I have my own preference but I'm always interested in other people's reasoning.I would fly A wing swarm if you expect a lot of U boats.
Simple answer is Autothrusters. If you get caught in an initial range 3 engagement go defensive. Youll probably tank the torps, or maybe lose one of your five A's. Then after the initial engagement a 2 dice turret is going to have a really hard time putting damage on an out of arc A.
I'm there as well tomorrow (a few of us are driving up from Brighton at stupid o'clock)
Still haven't decided between either Dash & two blockers or a Mist Hunter / Manaroo / Tran Slaver list ...
There's still time to chose right?

Yeah, our store had us submit our list on Wednesday, so I panicked. I was going to fly the new Palp Aces standard, Fel, Inq, and Palpy, but wasn't loving how it played.
... Decided VERY last minute to submit a Whisper, OL, and Palpy list that I've not practiced at all. Womp womp.
I mean, I've flown all the ships, but never together, and I haven't flown Whisper since just after the nerf...
I'll be the guy at the MA Regional regretting his last minute impulse list!

good luck guys!
May the force be with you.

The key is to analyze what went wrong in the match up and to correct it. Don't scrap a list just from taking losses! Learn from them and tweak your list/set up/approach accordingly.
Good luck to all attending Regionals tomorrow! I'll be at NC, hoping to at least go 5-1 again but make the cut this time... lol
Regionals in Durham NC tomorrow for me and i still can't decide what list to run. lol
I'm headed to Durham as well, that event looks like it's going to be huge!
Going to NC regional tomorrow with Vader, inquisitor, and Palp. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to dodge some Soontir hate by not taking Soontir at all. Predator Vader and the inquisitor also have crazy dps compared to some Palp lists.

I will be happy with 4-2 and top 32. Yes i would love to make the cut but like i said I would be happy at 4-2
San Diego for me. So stoked for this.
Always play a list you know. You will do better with it then one you dont.
I can't decide between guidance chips or munitions fail safe....
There is also the first spanish regional in Madrid, being streamed here: https://www.twitch.tv/firstearth
What a day! An early 5am start to get there from Brighton, but what a blast!
Ended up using SuperDash & Lothal Rebel - looking pretty good going into my last match at 4-1 and ran smack into triple jumpmasters...
That alpha strike is amazing - I absolutely need to fly better against that list.
But on the whole, I was amazed at the variety of lists. Everything from Tie & A-Wing swarms, to PalpAces, Double & Triple Jumps and a lot in between.
Congrats need to go out to Jesper Hills for winning the final round at roughly 2:30am (?!?)
Full credit need to go out to Jason and his amazing crew at Warboar - they raised £1500 for charity over the course of the day, and bar a snag at the cut stage, everything ran very smoothly and pretty much bang on time.
10/10 would do again!
Was a good day! I finished 3-3 losing to Dan Rodwell's tie swarm, a triple jump list and two scouts with talonbane cobra. The ones against scum both involved losin all my ships and the enemy only having one or two hull left, so really a few dice rolls going a different way would've changed the game got me!
Warboar put on an amazing show, the standard of competition was insanely high (who needs Worlds?) and I'll definitely go again
