Vader vs Horton Salm - Video Battle Report

By Cpt.HARM, in X-Wing Battle Reports

This weekend I headed out to my X-Wing gaming venue of choice, TCOW. Dan and I had arrange for a re-match where I would take Vader and some friends up against Horton and Salami Dumptruck !

I had also downloaded a cool app for my phone that lets you build battle reports from still images so I thought it might be a chance to give that a go as well. The results of both (the game and the app) were pretty good, and I definitely learnt some lessons… the main one being to use a decent camera (rather than the one in my phone - sorry for the blurry shots!) and that if Vader i s g oing to get locked up by three Y-W ings with Photon T orpedoes i t pays not to run in to thi ngs and loose yo ur actions!

It was a great game, although I think I should start thinking about Rebel builds as I cannot seem to stop my ships from running into each other, so running less ships has to work in m y favour!

Fantastic batrep! The Y-Wing always has been my favourite Rebel starship. Very close game!

Very cool report.

I enjoyed the report! I am starting to play Imperial more now, and I think the things I miss most about Rebels are their overall customizability, and Ion Cannon Turrets in particular. It's nice to see 3 Y-wings bringing the hurt, even though it was at your expense :P

One of my friends in Phoenix, AZ wo his Kessel Run event with 3 Y Wings and an X wing so used well they are a serious force to be reckoned with… I just wish I knew how he did it. :)

Very nice report. Bumping ties are really nasty and losing an evasion token is an expensive mistake.

The maneuvres are a bit tricky either. The forward moves are all fine, but the difference between the 2 and 3 curves are really weird (or am I the only one tried to solve the math of the curves and lengths of the maneuvres?)
