Happy Friday what was your best 1.0 moment?

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

Hello, Happy Friday Friends and good luck to you playing at worlds.

This week with the release of 2.0 let do a look back and ask, what is the best moment with 1.0 you have had?

See you on the flip side and .... if by chance there is an Xwing 2.0 Forum I will visit both.

150 point games with the Raider as my only ship

The mini-campaign that came with the Imperial Assault Carrier (Gozanti).

Just...fine times. Brought back to mind the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter sort of missions.

The 60 point side tournament at the Stockholm regional. The most fun I had in x-wing, of course the fact that I went 3-1 with my Ryad/OL squad doesn't hurt :).

Its a tie between my first tournament when I ran Oicunn, Palp Shuttle and Doom Shuttle, and the moment they announced v2.0

Happy Friday!

I have many fond memories from 1.0 (and will like make a few more), but one of my favorite is winning a generics only tournament with my Mandalorian only team.

Defeating a Ghost-Fenn list with Vader, Karsabi, and Rho list during the opening round of a store tournament.

I'm not entirely sure... there are many. I don't even thinking my big wins are top, I think just laughing with my opponent and playing X-wing really says it all.

Once when playing BBBBZ, I realized I didn't have to 100% kill a list to win. I suddenly felt like I had learned something important.

Famous for flying the Decimator. It was my jam. Was once in a 50 man Store Championship and my record was like 5-1 or 4-1 when I got paired up against a good player utilizing a TIE swarm.

Most people think a Deci is lunch for a TIE swarm, but I knew more about my opponent's abilities than he knew about my Deci, since they were rarely flown in this meta.

When I won that match by blowing up his last TIE, the only damage I'd sustained was a single shield loss on the Decimator. Felt good

When I finally beat our store champion that taught me to play.

Casual battle I just my Rexler left with 1 life against a Han falcon and a jake farrel.

loved tie defender and s-looping like crazy.

Hoth open 2017. Came within spitting distance of making the cut and had a great time. Good peeps, good beer, wife was there to cheer me on, and good times ?

My first time flying a Shadowcaster. Probably my favorite scum ship next to the fang fighter. My friends and I were playing the scenario that came with it and it quickly became a common sight on our table.

When I finally win a Store Championship.... sometime this Summer!

I think personally it’s opening the coreset on my birthday and later I found out the wife was pregnant with my son.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesy ?

Dang, what a story ?

Anyhow: for me it'll always be these first few matches. Learning the rules, flying suboptimal builds, feeling the exciting rush of fielding a new ship for the first time...

I’m gonna be that guy: the day they announced v2.0 ?

On a more serious note:

Going 5-0 in Swiss with an arced list at the last regionals I played in this meta.

Hmm. Making the top 40 and missing the cut by one point in the the 2016 Yavin open with FIVE. CARTEL. MARAUDERS? Team Epic craziness at last year's Euros? The long awaited announcement of the ALMIGHTY GUNBOAT?

All great moments, but nah.

Drinking coffee and battling with @Arma Quattro and friends a couple of weeks ago at the Italian System Open, now that was fun!

My best moment was the Campaign Against Cancer 2018 when I went 100-0 in my first 3 rounds to make the top table with Lowhhrick and 2 Resistance Bombers.

Winning a store champ using triple Ks, drinking the tears of Plap-Ace players complaining about powerlists...

System Open at Adepticon this year. Made first cut ever with Tie/D Defenders and Countdown. 9th out of 300 players after Swiss with only loss being a final salvo with no ships off the board against Kylo and 2 x/7s.

Sunny Bounder coming in at Range 1, rolling 3 hits and adding a 4th to PS-Kill a wounded RAC that Mux had dropped to PS 0.

So are we officially eulogizing X/Wing 1.0?
