4/5/13 regional report from england

By wblackthorn, in X-Wing Battle Reports

good afternoon all

i went to this event unsure of what to play ,but decided on a three ship force of

Han Solo

Marksmenship

Gunner

Gold squardron Y-Wing x2

Ion Cannon x2

the was 18 attendees and as far as i saw no one had the same force.

first round was against another rebel player with biggs,luke and wedge,he kept good formation so i had to go after biggs who died to combined fire from all three of my ships,and i had to roll the four times with han to get a good solid hit,the ions then finished him off.killing him had left my to Y-wings off behind luke and wedge with han in front of luke and wedge,two turns later han was dead with abit of shield damage on wedge,at this time both my Y-wings came in and after a few turns had good placement behind an x-wing each.

1.0 full win

second round was against darth vader,fel and turr i belive,second turn me both made mistakes with moves and place a ship out of formation,so we had vader and an interceptor meet in the middle,and an interceptor meet the falcon,falson took a bit of shield damage the interceptor was dead.

vader made a bad move and went through an rock letting a Y-wing get on his tail,the other interceptor went down to combined fire from han and the other y-wing.vader was heading off getting ioned each turn,he almost made it out of range of my y-wing with a boost and barrel roll,which if it had worked would of saved him,instead it just left him closer to the edge.

2.0 full win

third round was against a wedge,biggs,rookie and gold squadron pilot.went for a off centre flyby taking me into the rocks,to try and get some more agility,got a few hits with ion cannons as i went past as biggs was out of range of the rookie,and han got hit hard passing the formation as did one of the y-wings,i killed biggs soon after and han was hurting.i was lined up to run over a rock next turn got hit hard by wedge an got the obstical crit on my i had two hull left,the crit took one and the rock killed han.it wasn't looking good,i had one good y-wing and another battered,he had a rookie hurting and a healthy y-wing and wedge with some shield loss.we some amazing moves i killed the rookie got wedge to crash into a rock and die,and my final Y-wing fell to his.

2.1 full loss

fourth round was against a basic firespray,2 academy pilots and 2 avenger interceptors,in teh first exchange i lost a y-wing he lost a tie,i split my hits two much not sure what to kill,and got hits on both interceptors and finally managed to kill the other tie.he killed my y-wing and i killed an interceptor han was battered and down too three hull,when a rock killed the last tie,and a bad move by the firespray left him just off the map.

3.1 full win.

so after four rounds i was on 15 points with 376 points of kills,i should of lost the last game,i guess we was all getting tired.

after the TD corrected a math error in the results i placed 3rd,my only defeat went to the guy who placed second,and the winner on the day was running tie swarm with seven ships

i must say thank you to all and the TD for a great day
