Dropped both games after that to end 3-2, and miss 8th place (and a range ruler) by 12 MOV. :negative: First loss to the eventual top finisher in Swiss and playing in the finals Doug Howe running Rebel Toolkit where my dice bent me over the loving table, jesus. Second loss to a TIE Swarm that I came within one bad decision of making it a 1v1 with Jess that I misplayed and lost with two ships left on the board on his side.

I haven't checked the lancer recently. Last time I played they had a 2d screenshot in place of a model, but it worked.

I'm going to take you up on that offer in the next week or so. Sadly I'm the best in my town and the next best player refused to use "meta" lists. Really could use someone to kick my rear end on a regular basis so I can get better.

Really need to up my game in before store champs. One of the AU regional champs is gathering up some of his team mates to come out to drive four hours in the boonies to cherry pick our store champ because we are "easy". Guess he has done it the last few years.

I was not a fan of the guy before I got told this, so I would really enjoy making him waste a 8 hour return trip.

Yeah I'll play TTS too. Havent played for a while, last time I had to de cloak echo manually and it took ages. Apparently that's automated now. Have to check my graphics card hasn't punked out on me though. The lancer should be in, my friend actually was doing the model for it.

Yeah. I know a few of those guys on the QLD team. They said they he only ever wins with is thug life. He spent 6 months trying to fly other lists and could not win anything. Real nice guy though and he is good with that list.

Well I ended up going 3-2. Last loss was against Palp/Mareek/Ryad. After playing probably 100+ games since I started X-Wing in December I am only saying this because my opponent said it.

The dice hosed me. Rolled no evades and one 1 eye the whole match and the out of three plasmas fired the only hits I got were from guidance chips. Took in stride and laughed it off. poo poo happens. Got a free pity beer and made a few new friends out of it.

I have never seen so many natural crits. Stuff of nightmares.

Good tourney overall and I had fun and got to play against a lot of lists that I have never had a chance to play against. From what a could see while playing mindlink did not dominate at all. Top 4 were 3xRebel and Thug Life. Also there was a stupid number of Bossk lists.


Funniest moment was when Vernon Lorenzo was 6th in Swiss at worlds got matched against a 7 year old kid. If that wasn't bad enough it was the first match streamed. He tried to get them to change it but they wouldn't. So everyone on the net got to see a top ranked play beat up a 7 year old. He felt pretty bad about it.

Mandatory swag photo I got from the event.


Man you cleaned up on swag there.

We are up in central west of NSW. Don't mind the competition just the insult (however true it probably is). There are probably 20+ store champs that are half the distance. Good motivation for me though.

Zigmoose and I just played two games. It was fun.

He was flying VI Bossk with clusters, crane, boba fett, dengar, merc copilot, and chips with PTL Fenn and a Jakku Gunrunner with spacetug.

I was flying this monstrosity I pulled off Reddit.

Kylo Ren (34)
Lone Wolf (2)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Emperor Palpatine (8)
Hyperwave Comm Scanner (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

"Echo" (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)

Agent Kallus (2)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Total: 96

View in Yet Another Squad Builder

First game he called Echo's move perfectly and wiped him off the board first real round of shooting. We called that one a couple rounds later. Beautifully flown on his part.

Second game I was able to get him to chase Echo while Kylo ate into the backside of his list. Eventually he turned on Kylo. The condition kicked in and a few rounds later both Fenn and Bossk were at PS0. I was able to clean it up from there with an untouched Echo and Kylo with 3hp left.

Yeah, they did.

I've played that list about 6 times now. I win about as many as I lose.

As fun as Echo is to fly, every time I feel like I should be using Whisper instead. That extra focus if you hit is just too good.

The list has points for it, too. It's at 96 with Echo. It'd be 98 with Whisper.

Interesting. I'd like to see how it holds up vs current meta poo poo


edit watching the video he obliterates a double firespray list which...ok I guess, but vs anything with turrets this list is gonna struggle. Or anything with an equal amount of consistent red dice will just wreck a focusless echo.

Speaking of bombs, I was looking at the new Scum bomber (also available for rebels). And it looks like there's a system slot where you'll be able to deploy equipped bombs during the setup phase? And the scurg bomber also looks like it can restore it's stock of bombs (probably Action: flip a discarded bomb over and take weapons disabled or something).

I mean looks like bombs are here to stay. Advanced SLAM could be easily fixed by making it free action from action bar a la PTL.

Edit: taking Miranda48 as a given, I think the best options that aren't soul destroying TLT are: that Skinny Rey, Lone Wolf Dash, and M9-G8 Jess Pava/ZZ.

That skinny Rey list that Paul flew was really nice. Pretty sure he was the one I saw run over one of his own bombs to trigger sabine to win a match during day one.

Think I just found the last Y-wing for sale in Australia. A trophy shop in Orange had one left. They are going to hold it for me till I swing by during work tomorrow.

It was gnarly. He was mulching Fenns all day. Really creative and well executed list. He'd just rip right in, with 3 TAPs focus/evade/sometimes target locked on turn 1. Get something in front of them at R1, they get fully modded prockets. It was a real treat to watch.

Two questions:
1) What is the purpose of the Hyperwave Comm Scanner? Just to be able to place the shuttle last?
2) How do the STPs get things in arc at R1 with a PS of just 2? Even the coordinate action of the shuttle (to make a STP do a barrel roll or whatever) won't help with it being just at PS4

For those not watching a Miranda got shot and the guy who fired argued that the miranda was dead and the other guy said it still had health. None of the 4 judges standing there were paying attention and refused to look at the stream. The guy with the possibly dead Miranda just took Miranda off the board after a few minutes of the judges with their thumb up their asses just to end the argument.


Edit: The guy who pulled his Miranda off the board won. Miranda/Leebo
