League Night at the FLGS last night. Not my game, but the table ext to me. Hera/Chopper with docked Zeb vs. Lando and three named Guild TIEs. First three rounds of engagement saw two TIEs bite the dust, but then the Scum starting gnawing away at the VCX's, whose big bases managed to nip quite a few rocks. I gather the game ended with a nearly dead TIE, a half health Lando, and a damaged Escape Pod hunting down the Attack Shuttle. The Scum player was not sounding happy about his odds (or his dice) in those first few rounds, but then dice variance took hold, and blocking, and the beefy buggers went down.

Whereas I ran Resistance XXAA against Dash/Benthic to similar effect. Lost both A-Wings to Dash's hot, hot dice in three shots, and barely managed to whittle him down. Game ended with a shieldless Ello Asty chasing a one-hull Benthic Two Tubes, and just not being able to get that final hit in, even at Range One.

Dice. Whatcha gonna do?

What was your XXAA list? I was flying one myself on Thursday with Ello, Temmin, and two Green Squadron A-Wings. X-Wings have power; A-Wings have maneuverability; and all of them are fun to fly!

I was trying a Quad-I5. Ello, Nien, L'ulo, and Tallie. Pretty stripped down, all of them. I am enjoying pretty much any mix of two A's and two T70's. Just becomes a question of who is the most fun. I think the next test will be Ello, Snap, L'ulo, and Greer, maybe? Flew a double Black Squadron Ace, double Green Squadron Expert a couple weeks ago, and that was pleasant. Kinda just giving up on the Starfortress, I guess. And I've dropped Han on the board once, I think; but I am curious to give him another look now that I have two RZ's for wingmen.

It warms my heart whenever the VCX gets love. I never tried two, but now I kinda want to.
