So I went to my local board game cafes Q2 kit tournament yesterday. Nice and casual with 5 rebel, 4 imperial and 2 scum list.

1) Decimator + Aggressor 2) Decimator + Tie D Vessory 3)Dengar + Shadowcaster 4) Firespray + 2 y-wings 5)Arc 170 (thane) + Wulf Gunship + 2 x A-wings

6) Shuttle + Defender + Tie SF 7) Falcon (Chewie) + yt-2400 8) Miranda + Dash 9) Dash + Horton 10) Ghost + Dash

I decided to run something I have never flown before - RAC + Quickdraw. After a little advice I settle on the HSCP, Gunner, Kylo, EU setup on RAC. After I arrived I realised the guy running the tournament had to leave so I jumped in to TO and run the event but still wanted to play. I lucked the bye in the first round.

Round 2 I was up against Marc with the Arc, Wookie and 2 A-wings. Not the best list to play a defenseless Decimator against but Engine Upgrade worked a treat and a mistake at setup by Marc as he seperated his fleet and came through the rocks on approach. I managed to boost out of the 2 a-wings arcs and wipe one off the board taking little back taking the second A-wing out the round later. I managed to keep RAC at a good distance (only getting shot by one while getting some damage through while quickdraw put damage into the core of the list. In the end I managed a 68-0 win as it went to time.

Round 3 saw me playing a local player Matt with his Decimator + Tie D Vessery. Vessery was my first target as with either of my ships left with a lower ps decimator gave me a good chance. Once again the EU cam to the fore. Boosted past the advancing Vessery for a range 1 shot and range 2 with QD. Stripped the focus token with hot shot and all his shields, Quickdraw then stripped 1 damage. Matt then decided to shoot QD with the ion cannon??!?!??! I lost my shield and then turned him to dust!!! After that no real problem. Managed to kylo a blinded pilot - 100-0 win.

By default (bye) I got into the last 2 and played Andrew with Dash + Horton. I hate Dash he is slippery but the opening salvos went really well and i had lost a couple of shields on RAC when he lew a nearly fully health horton off the board?? Then Dash went to work. I still felt it was mine to lose but a stray crit landed RAC and PS 0. The mistake I made was flying him a little too far away from the fight to give Dash a little too much room with QD before I could get enough damage through. Dash mopped up the decimator with 2 hps left for a well deserved win (his green dice were really good - not bitter!!).

Got myself some shiny stuff and Andrew kindly donated his prizes to the 3rd and 4th place players as he has won them previously. Really good day and nice to see lots of Imp lists.
