Won My First Tournament

By migs6000, in X-Wing

Finally won a tournament and with my beloved Rebels no less. Norra is a monster and has become one of my favorite pilots. Wes and Biggs also did their parts wonderfully. It was a fun day with some very close games. And I finally got the alt Soontir card for my son.

List:

And found a cool picture someone drew of Norra. Can't actually post it but here is the link if anyone is interested.

That is a really cool list, I have to say!

That's wierd, I almost won a tournament yesterday with almost the exact same list.

CURSE YOU FINAL HULL POINT ON ASSAJJ!!!!

It's a cool list though, making me want to switch from imperial aces to Biggs lists for awhile.

Thanks. I was running Norra with tail gunner but switched to Kyle and VT and it just works so much better. She is a lot more maneuverable and not always stressed so she can pull some white turns or a k-turn when the need arises. Wes is amazing, everyone knows that. Stealing tokens and dealing out stress is a life saver. And with Biggs, I usually run him with R4-D6 just to get the integrated astro but I found for the most part, it's ability never kicks in. So I slapped R2-D6 and Crackshot on with the intent of not only Biggs pulling aggro and damage but also putting out one good shot before he goes down. It worked quite well.

Well, there is an argument for R4-D6 Biggs and that is that he is guaranteed to draw 3 shots, barring dice luck even more. Guarantees are awesome, but that goes for Crackshot as well. I'd say its a meta call depending on the number of Torp-Scouts.

and dengaroo

really, I'm more surprised when someone lands less than 3 uncancelled hits against fickle Biggs <_<

but I guess if you're rolling around without Tailgunner, you need all the help you can get :P

I have to ask, what were your March ups?

Not a fan of that biggs load out

I was using tailgunner and also found that I really wanted to do a 2 turn to turn around but couldn't without staying stressed. I might steal the crackshot on biggs idea, the canceling droid usually doesn't work for me either in my local meta.

I'm confused, sounded like you won with biggs, norra and wes

Edit

Nm I misunderstood, lack of sleep

Yes, Norra Wes and Biggs. What's the confusion?

Was thinking you listed those lists as 1st and second place, lack of sleep

Oh no, that's what I faced.
