How are you practicing for Regionals...

By Rinzler in a Tie, in X-Wing

I went to three regionals in the same place the last couple of years four hours away ... but since that place doesn't have one, and there really isn't one close to me this round, I'm not practicing at all .. still feeling meh about where they are this season ...

Who in his right mind would run Miranda with concussion missiles and a bomblet generator?

What bombs do I put on Nym then?

I picked up a decent looking squad and learned it, while avoiding meta favorites. Not because I am a hater, but because I generally have much more luck flying something a little off-base but unfamiliar to my opponents, rather than current Gold Standard stuff - it means my opponents are less certain about what they're doing, and that's to my advantage. Also means FAQs are much less likely to hit me , and if the meta suddenly shifts, well, hopefully my stuff has as much a shot as anyone elses...

My Defenders worked out pretty well, for instance. :)

Miranda options...

1) Keep ASLAM and just use it to focus after SLAM. Trust in your bombing skills to get action bombs off.

2) Run EI and see how nice it is to be able to bomb after bumping. Abuse the **** out of it, since you’re also dodging shots that way.

3) Switch to alpha strike Miranda with LRS, missile, Rey (or something similar).

4) Run Bomblets (not so good if you’ve got Nym in the list, though).
