Hey guys, tonight was our first Tournament and it went very well! I am going to try to right as much as I can remember here.

My list,

Bounty Hunter with Proximity Mines, Wep Engineer, HLC, and Engine Upgrade

Krassis with HLC, Wep Engineer, and Shield Upgrade

This list was very fun tonight. Caused lots of problems even with only 2 agility die

First game was against a 3 Rebel ship build. (May be missing an upgrade or two)

Wedge w/ R5-D8, Proton Torps

Luke w/R2-D2, Proton Torps

Prototype or Green Squad with Cluster Missles

This was a close game. We flew around and I got Luke down to 1 hull point left. Then in my next round of shooting I whiffed on 8 dice rolls. Then Luke got his shields back as he manuverd out of my arcs and flew around. I lucked out and was able to focus fire on Wedge and take him out which would become the deciding factor. Our match went to time and I had killed Wedge and he had my bounty hunter had just 1 point left. Because my ships were still alive and I had killed more than 33 points…Major Victory!

Second game was difficult. He calls it "Strangers with Candy" because Lando just hands out some candy and exposes himself…get your mind out of the gutter.

Lando w/Luke, Chewbacca, Assault Missles, Shield Upgrade, Expose

Biggs w/ R2-F2, Stealth

Basic turn goes, Biggs moves and Activates the R2. Lando (Stranger) moves green, lets Biggs focus (gives him candy) then exposes himself (exposing himself). This was pretty brutal. He found ways to make me shoot Biggs at range 3 almost all game. Never even got a damage on him. All they while Lando just lit me up with 4-5 dice a turn. 2 agility and evades…not enough. Brutal game and I lost.

Thrid game was against the ringer list just to avoid the bye.

Tycho w/Homing Missles, PTL, Stealth

2x Green Pilots with the same load outs as Tycho

This game was just kinda for kicks and giggles. I managed to get to Firesprays to focus one A-wing. My HLCs rolled SO WELL!. In total, I got 8 hits. He died easily. Next turn we danced around a little until I set up a shot against another A-wing with both ships. Again 8 HITS!!!!! From there, Tycho just kept flying around to avoid the what would eventually happen…more HLCs to the face!

This is also the game where we, at our shop, decided to start calling the backwards primary shots from the Firespray…wait for it…"Butt Lasers"

I ended up tied with 2nd place and with only 3 rounds due to time, we had to call it. Overall, I felt good about my play. Only a few boneheaded moves. Great first go at a tournament and lots of fun was had by all. Hoping to get back on Saturday, or next Monday for our next ones!

Y'know, Lando giving focus to Biggs was the only game (so far) my Bounty Hunter list lost. It's a really wicked combo! I've decided that the best way to take Biggs out in such a scenario is to fly a TIE or two right in his path, denying him his action, then focus fire on him until he's dead. As you've just seen, really good players can keep Biggs at range 3 of your ships to cause you a headache the entire game. It's brutal. I didn't think he'd be that great, but Biggs + R2-F2 + Stealth Device AND a Focus token? That's cawazy!
