It's all in the dice

By Budgernaut, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Yesterday I played a 100-point game against myself. It was Vader and 5 Obsidian Squadron Pilots against Vander, Salm, a Rookie Pilot. The first few turns was all about maneuvering. When the firefight broke out, the two Y-wings teamed up on one TIE. After an ion cannon barrage and a proton torpedo attack, that TIE had only taken one damage. Meanwhile, Vader took out the Rookie Pilot -- shields and all -- with one set of Cluster Missiles. Talk about some long odds. I cleaned up after that round (I was rooting for the Rebels).
