Just a quick story

By Blarga, in X-Wing

Hello everyone!

I started playing this game a few months ago and have amassed a decent collection over the months. Some nights while I'm trying to come up with new armies, my wife would look over and ask general questions about the game.

So last night after kiddo went to bed, she asked to learn the game. I set her up with a basic 50 point army with A wing and B wing with advanced settings. I ran Boba Fett with stealth device, proton torpedo and cluster missiles ( with slave one title of course).

We setup with no asteroids and got to it. After round one, she went a full five with the Awing and a 3 with the B. That put me at range with my Firespray. I hit 3 hits and a crit with torpedoes took her A wing down to 1 hull after her evade. Needless to say that was the last of my victory run.

She chased down my Firespray with both, and landed a crit removing my cluster missiles. A few turns later, she had a B wing with full hull and my firespray with 2. I rolled against her blue squadron, all blanks... She fires back, and utterly destroys my firespray.

Hopefully she is hooked. Absolutely love this game!

I'm glad you both had fun. We have a dearth of female players around here and it's great to see more. If she has any questions, she can always ask here. We'll tell her how to beat you even more soundly. ;)

We also have a dearth of people who can use the word "Dearth" properly, so I'm glad to know you're one of 'em :)

Sounds great! I have been lurking the shadows of this forum for a while, just finally got around to posting.

My wife plays (very well too, she kicked the crap out of me last night), but I don't think you'll ever see her on the forums.

Welcome aboard. Great story.

As part of our SWMiniverse podcast about Star Wars minis, we occasionally have female players as guests of the show to get their perspective and/or story. Would you lucky lads mind asking your significant others if they would be interested in being a guest of the show?

Thank you for reminding me! This came up in a different thread, and I completely forgot to ask her. I apologize for my lapse in mental faculties.

My wife plays with me fairly regularly. we are about 50/50 on wins/losses but we each tend to go on streaks. im on a 5 win streak, it wont last for sure.

Sounds great Chargers. I'll talk to her about it.
