First Tournament Win!

X wing Battle Report – Blakfyre Fly Casual Tournament 6-21-2016

I recently acquired the advanced targeting computer and tie advanced title from a friend so I built this imperial aces list, I only flew it once before the tournament but I loved it. Imp aces did well for me, this was the first time I took first place a at tournament.

Darth Vader (34)                                                            
Advanced Targeting computer (1)                              
Title (0)                                                                                            
Engine Upgrade (4)                                                         
Adaptability (0)                                                                                          

The Inquisitor (31)
Push the Limit (3)  
Title (1)
Autothrusters (2)

Soontir Fel (35)
Push the Limit (3)
Stealth Device (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Royal Guard Tie (0)

Round 1:
3 T-70s opponent had initiative.

Poe Dameron (40)
R2-D2 (4)
Autothrusters (2)
Predator (3)

Red Squardon Veteran (30) x2                                                                
R2 Astromech (1)                                            
Integrated Astromech (0)                                 
Predator (3)                                                       

We started facing each other and on the first pass I was able to get several shots off on Poe and kill him rather quickly, unfortunately Soontir got caught at range 1 and killed by a direct hit. I kept bumping Vader into my inquisitor and almost lost him, but eventually I was able to pull things together and get a win and only lost 1 ship.

Round 2:
Imperial Aces opponent had initiative.

Darth Vadar (33)                                                                      
Title (0)                                                             
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)                                             
Ruthlessness (3)                                                
                                                                 
Whisper (41)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Agent Kallus (2)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire Control System (2)

The Inquistor (26)
Title (1)
Adapability (0)

One the second turn I opted to boost Soontir into range of both The inquisitor and the cloaked Whipser, Inquistitor missed on his shot on soontir and since Inquisitor had a focus and autothrusters I opted to try for maybe one damage on Whipser, range three through a rock. My three dice against his 6…I rolled two crits and a hit, he rolled five blanks and a focus…and flipped a direct hit. Whisper was gone and my opponent was pretty discouraged so the game ended quickly.

Round 3:
Opponent had initiative.

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (65)                        
Expose (4)                                                      
Recon Specialist (3)                                       
Experimental Interface (3)                             
Ysanne Isard (4)                                             
Gunner (5)

Soontir Fel (35)
Royal Guard Tie (0)
Targeting Computer (2)
Push the limit (3)
Stealth Device (3)


On the first encounter I opted to let Inquisitor take a damage instead of risking more damage on the second gunner shot, Inquisitor got a couple hits in on RAC. Soontir and RAC both successfully blocked on left Vader at range one with a TL on RAC luckily he only took 2 damage, and Soontir and inquisitor got a few more hit in on RAC. I was able to arc dodge my Soontir out of the way on his Soontir but Vader was in range of both enemy ships. Vader got his shot on RAC and I opted not to use my focus so I got one hit and one crit. The crit was blinded pilot so RAC wasn’t able to shoot that round, which saved him since Soontir landed a crit Major Hull Breach. I was able to kill RAC the next round and then spent 5 or so rounds arc dancing with Soontir. I was able to get my team behind him his Soontir without any stress tokens while he was stressed, he was forced to do white maneuvers a couple times that really hurt, and finally I was able to get shots from all three ships tokened up for the win.
