I decided to throw myself in at the deep end and take part in a charity tournament which gave me my first six ever games of x wing. Used Imperials.

1st Game - I played against 2 T-70s and a Y Wing, I made so many mistakes, I basically killed Soontiar Gel on asteroids! Didn't even get all the shields off one ship.

2nd Game - 3 jump masters with Boba Fett, someone said it was a meta list? I lasted about 15 mins

3rd Game - Ghost and a K wing, things went much better I managed to inflict a point of hull damage which would have been more if I didn't reveal a K turn that was meant to be a bank.

4th Game - 2 Y Wings and a jump master, did a fair bit of damage before once again crashing into asteroids.

5th Game - IG88 and slave one. Got slave one down to half hull and then it slipped off the board giving me my first points! Still lost.

6th Game - played against a TO from another city who correct every mistake I made and taught me how to play properly. I won but naturally it doesn't really count.

I learnt a lot and everyone was incredibly patient and helpful.

Hey Deadfool. Congrats in stepping into a bigger world... And by that I mean Xwing in general, not the tourney scene. That really was jumping in the deep end to see if you could swim!

What were you flying? Clearly Fel, and I'm guessing he had autothrusters based on your earlier thread regarding what to keep from the Star Viper thread.

I hope you had fun.

" Soontiar Gel"

That's a new one...

So I used this list that wurn made for me but with auto thrusters traded in.

Soontir Fel (35)

TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Targeting Computer (2), Hull Upgrade (3)

Carnor Jax (31)

TIE Interceptor (26), Push the Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Targeting Computer (2)

“Mauler Mithel” (21)

TIE Fighter (17), Opportunist (4)

Academy Pilot (12

It was a hanger event so I made a second list that was similar to the above but with Vaders tie advanced added. Cluster missiles, twin ion engines and PTL to get the three actions.
