A-Poon at local store tournament

By martini74, in X-Wing Battle Reports

So, went to a local store tournament here in S.A. TX. Just a small 8 player pod. Thing about this sort of tournament is you will see alot more list with ideas that are not the meta lists. List variety + people you lime is always a good thing.

Anywho, here is the list I ran.

Green Squadron Pilot(25) [Green Squadron Pilot(19), Deadeye(1), A-Wing Test Pilot(0), Guidance Chips(0), Rage(1), Harpoon Missiles(4)]

X4

Yes, four of these. I had fun, but it was a long time since I played A-Wings. Ended up 1-2, but a good day.

Game 1:

His list:

"Quickdraw"(43) ["Quickdraw"(29), Fire Control System(2), Sensor Cluster(2), Special Ops Training(0), Lightweight Frame(2), Expertise(4), Harpoon Missiles(4)]

"Backdraft"(33) ["Backdraft"(27), Veteran Instincts(1), Fire Control System(2), Special Ops Training(0), Primed Thrusters(1), Lightweight Frame(2)]

Scimitar Squadron Pilot(24) [Scimitar Squadron Pilot(16), Fleet Officer(3), TIE Shuttle(0), Operations Specialist(3), Lightweight Frame(2)]

Knew Quickdraw was a powerhouse. He was priority. After his first round of shooting I was down to 3 a-wings. I did take out Quickdraw after that first round of dice being thrown. As the game went on i did get the bomber taken out. He won and it was a good game. Making sure to stay out of Backdrafts arcs was difficult and eventually spelled the doom of my final ship.

Round 2:

His list:

Wookiee Liberator(32) [Wookiee Liberator(26), Tactician(2), Expertise(4), Courier Droid(0)]

Wookiee Liberator(32) [Wookiee Liberator(26), Tactician(2), Expertise(4), Courier Droid(0)]

Wookiee Liberator(32) [Wookiee Liberator(26), Tactician(2), Expertise(4), Courier Droid(0)]

He won, I took out a single Wookie Liberator, and had damage on all the others, but those beefy ships against my fragile ships was tough. Good game.

Round 3:

His list:

Kylo Ren(44) [Kylo Ren(35), Fire Control System(2), Autothrusters(2), Intensity(2), Threat Tracker(3)]

Major Vynder(39) [Major Vynder(26), Deadeye(1), Advanced SLAM(2), Harpoon Missiles(4), Harpoon Missiles(4), Os-1 Arsenal Loadout(2)]

Sienar Test Pilot(17) [Sienar Test Pilot(16), TIE/v1(1)]

Once we manuevered and got into shooting, I had a nice kill box, and Major V. did a Slam to get out of arcs but failed to do so, with no shots available. Kylo was out of range to shoot. So, three A-wings lit up Major V and the other took out the test pilot. Then it was moving around with shots of opportunity. Ended up winning with two A-wings on the board.

End of the day, had fun and ended up 5th in the MOV. Not saying this is the best list, but alot of fun to fly.
