Hey all so even though lockdown is on I have managed to keep the flag flying for Rey in the Sith taker Cup - I am running Rey 101 and Lulo and Zizi.
I'm one game in so far and won my first game against a Jedi and Torrent swarm all with homing missiles and synchronized consoles - it was nasty! Great squad. I have been really getting into TTS and loving it so far!
Next game is against Obi, Ric and 2 Arcs - i'll keep you posted!
Let's keep this thread alive - DO IT FOR THE RESISTANCE!!!!!!

That sounds like a tough match up for Rey, good going on the win.
No spoilers, but I have a long post coming about Reistance in general. I've been pretty active in TTS recently with some decent results 😄
That's good to hear! It's a great platform for trialling stuff. Look forward to it!

Unfortunately most of it revolves around my Hyperspace Kaz's Jousters list, but the final of the three tournament I will play in next week is Rey and Friends.
So I am signed up for the Space Jam - who is making the correct choice and taking Rey? @GreenDragoon @Flurpy
In other news I won my second round against a Republic List - Ric - outmaneuver, Obi wan CLT/R5 and two Squad Seven Arcs with dedicated - I had the bid by 2pts and it was a major decider. Both of are dice were awful but Rey put in the hurt - didn't lose a shield off any ship and got half on Ric so tight result. I discovered the art of self bumping with Rey who just doesn't need actions! Great game, great opponent and onto Round 3!
I signed up for Space Jam. But I am in a dilemma, I am currently 22:3 in official real life/TTS events with Kaz's Jousters but I would also like to fly Rey at a premier event. Still not sure.
I'm sure you will make the right choice!
What's Kaz's jousters btw - is it in a different thread?

My primary Hyperspace list. The one I flew in UK. Pava, Bastian, Kaz and LeiaCova.
Originated in this thread.
I "find" the list and name it here.

Ah yes! I remember - didn't know you named it!

Yeah I even got to name it on ListFortress. Primarily since I am still pretty much the only person running it.
Yeah that's the one I meant, @mattcogg81
I think jouster/alphastrike/swarm lists can do really well because I believe the average turn count is relatively low on TTS. Rey has a bit that alphastrike character. It could be enough to make cut, so I'm really torn.
My alternative is an imperial anti-ace list with FifthBrother+Homing, but that might suffer more from low turn counts.
In my experience rounds have been lower on TTS but I think that might just be me! Some people are really quick though - any data on turn count? Space Jam was awesome to watch on the weekend - I saw a Rey build with 3 a-wings I think - no stealth device though!
Not to my knowledge, and I'm not going to rewatch all of space jam 1 for that ^^

yeah two things are making me pick jousters. Low turn count and I cant for the life of me estimate distances on TTS. Ive been bumping everyone, hitting rocks, landing on bombs and everything else more than ever, so I am definitely leaning towards 1 forward list flying.

ORLY?
I am having last minute doubts about Lulo now - I don't know why I just never seem to fly him correctly and and those crucial times of hitting hard he doesn't! Someone convince me that is a bad choice - Talli is calling me and I don't know why? @GreenDragoon @Flurpy help me see sense!

Because Tallie in the safety wheels of that list. You don't play Rey and Friends because its safe reasonable or smart. You play it because it's a constant dance with death, it's life on the knife edge, and nobody embodies that more than Lulu. A little candle (Tallie) burns itself out just like a flaming torch (Lulu) does. Choose your own way to burn.
And now that I qouted Sophie Scholl on a plastic miniatures games forum I have reached peaked absurdity.

Yeah. I played in a 48 South American tournament which if I understand correctly is the largest non System Open tournament there, and an 20 man Balkan championship. Top4 for south America had 2 Resistance (yours tuly included) and the Balkan one had 3 Resistance and an all Resistance final table( yours truly included) so the plan was to go through all those lists since Resistance seems to be doing really well just haven't had the time to write it up.
Thanks @Flurpy also having looked against all the math stuff - Lulo is perfect I just need to fly Lulo better!
******* finally. 13 months after getting back into X-Wing this dumbass has won an international tournament, thus ending a long streak of podiums placements at small tournaments and losing in the cut at the large ones.
Now I have to do a write up.
Nice what do you win?

Was it streamed?! 🙂
Hi all,
So I took Rey to Space Jam and dropped after Round 5 going 2 and 3 - and also have almost finished the Sith taker Cup and am hoping for 3-3. I do not feel these results reflect the list but more so my flying and my decision points. I am getting better all the time with this list but single decisions are costing me hugely with Rey and alot of things out there right now seem to be chipping my A-wings to half points pretty easily (Fifth brother + homing missiles). Over the course of the tournaments I was amazed at I can fly so well all game and lose it in the last round. I also was frustrated with my poor choices. I listened to Oli 186th Twitch stream about list building and still can't help thinking it's all still about the wingmates for this list? I am having a wobble at the moment and want to change the list but how long should you keep flying until you make a change?
Thoughts please
If two A-wings are good, why not three? List
Rey (70)
Korr Sella (6)
Rey’s Millennium Falcon (2)
L’ulo L’ampar (43)
Heroic (1)
Zizi Tlo (40)
Heroic (1)
Tallissan Lintra (36)
Heroic (1)
Total: 200

Hey Mattcogg81. I’ve been lurking on this thread for a while and have been experimenting with various Rey builds and lists. Like you, I’ve found it both frustrating and rewarding. I think you really hit the nail on the head by saying that one bad turn can change an entire game with this list. So much depends on getting Rey into the endgame as unscathed as possible it places a very large burden on whoever you decide to fly her with.
