My Shot at the Fresno Regional

By cody campbell, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Hey all-

Yeah, it's a bit late, but though I'd share it anyway. Here's what I ran:

Scum List 100 pts

Dengar

Determination

Plasma Torpedoes

Extra Munitions

Salvaged Astromech

Glitterstim

Tactician

Punishing One

Guidance Chips

Manaroo

Deadeye

Proton Torpedoes

Advanced Proton Torpedoes

Boba Fett

R4 Agromech

Guidance Chips

I faced x3 Jumpmaster, Soontir + Mini Swarm, Vader/Gunner/RAC + Whisper, and won! Then once the Imperial aces started showing up though, things took a turn. I had a chance to sneak in the Top 8 on game 6, but a buddy of mine knocked me out.

I'm a Southern California player so this was my first experience at Crazy Squirrel Games, but it is the only game store I've seen that had all three dial kits concurrently and thought that was a great representation of the store. Great prices, good selection, clean and spacious, and everyone is super friendly.

It was also my first regional and quite an experience. I wanted to up my competitive game at the start of this year, but due to my unforgiving work schedule (and I suppose lack of personal constitution =) ) it just didn't happen. I was suffering from some battle fatigue around Game 4, so I was a bit thankful I didn't make to the final tables (I think the game went on until 3am or so).

If you wanna see a write up of each match in detail (I ended up playing Drew Bishop round 3 and it was craaaaazy!), check out my blog here!.

Heh. I had a crazy Round 3 game against Drew in a regional last year. My dice hated him: Corran dealt his Chiraneau 9 damage in a single turn. Combined with two turns of Dash fire, Chiraneau died in two rounds of combat. It was nuts!
