Team Epic - GenCon - Any takers?

By LagJanson, in X-Wing Epic Play

So, the event list is out - FFG is running a Team Epic on the Sunday as everybody else packs up to head out. I figure this is a good place to ask... Anybody interested in teaming up with an obnoxious Canadian? I can't bring a partner with me, the trunk is already going to be full. I'm not looking to win as much as have fun - though if they throw more acrylic energy tokens on the table all bets are off.

Anybody else thinking about going? Opponents? Thrill seekers? Adventurers?

I could totally do this. I had mentally backed out of being able to make it, but I live close enough to run down for the day. I have to double check if it is possible, but Team Canada Epic does sound like a great time.

So, a definite maybe ;)

I'll hold off from purchasing a ticket for it just yet, 96 spots won't sell out over night... I'm 90% sure the scheduling works out, since I don't need to load out the dealer's hall till 4pm. I do need to pick up a Death Star though from the Tydirium folks, and drag that back to the dealer's hall to smuggle back across the border... As long as I have time to do that before event starts, I'm in.

@Darth Meanie - I of course don't have a Gozanti yet, and I know you're all Imperial, so if we both go 100% all in, we'll need to really coordinate lists!

Oh, I have everything, ship-wise. I could easily (and happily) fly Rebels, I just would need to practice a little to get used to a list. Oddly, the listing says 300 points. I thought Team Epic was 200 points per player for a total of 400. . .

I forget where I read it before, but I know I saw something stating 150 in the past... but tournament rules by FFG match your statement of 200 per player. Oh well, yes, the event is set very low with only 150 points per player.

We could both fly scum and be equally uncomfortable!

When is Shuttle Tydirium's epic ship bash? It was on Sunday last year.

I believe it's Sunday again this year? You guys had something interesting, but it was 8am... which is hotel checkout and pre-loadout for me.

Well, that was the shortest offensive of all time... I'm pretty sure I'm now out on epic, sadly.
