Saber Squadron vs Rouge Squadron

By Hrathen, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Last night I played a game against a friend and without planning to do it we basically did a rouge squadron vs saber squadron duel. It was awesome.

My List:

Soontir+PtL+SD

Saber Squadron + VI

Saber Squadron + PtL

Saber Squadron

His List:

Wedge+R2D2

Red Squadron

Red Squadron

Rookie Pilot

I usually play Imperials and showing up to the table with the same number of ships as my opponent and none of them having more than 3 hull almost sent me into a panic attack.

Push the Limit + Stealth Device combined with some defensive flying made Soontir almost impossible to hit. He didn't take a point of damage all game. And He drew a ton of hate. Mostly I was lucky that the stealth device never went away. 4 agility and an evade token is pretty hard to hit.

The game was such a blast. X-wings were definitely more resilient, but the Interceptors were harder to hit.

I loved playing the Interceptors because I really felt like they reward good game play.

R2D2 was awesome on Wedge. I seemed to only ever put one point of damage on him and then R2D2 would just heal it.

In the end it came down to Soonter vs a Red Squadron Pilot. With my superior dial and PtL I was able to never let the X-wing get another shot against me.
