Titan League Month 2 AAR…
Well, I can state that I played my worst game EVER in game
one. Paired up against Joseph’s
Dengar/Nym list. Moved in, got into
position, dropped an Ion Bomb to Ion both of his ships, had Nym Stressed and… I flew both of my ships off the damn board. First one I should have just turned in and
eaten the Stress from the Rigged Cargo Chute that was dropped. Instead, I tried to get fancy and boost then
1 Bank… JUST off the edge. Then the 4 K-Turn landed me just off the
board instead of Range 2 behind Nym to just keep Ioning him off the field… Craptastic.
Ah well, teach me to play a list I’ve flown once…
Game two… Bye. So, I got to watch a lot of the games. Some good lists even if they were not really
the “big meta” ones… There WAS a “fair
ship rebel”, but it was flown rather than the castle in the corner waiting on
Final Salvo…
Game 3 against what I consider a hard counter to this and
frankly ANY 2 Ship list… Kylo Ren on the
RAC Decimator. He had Wampa in a TIE and
Deathfire in a TIE Bomber. Was actually
quite an enjoyable game… I lasted a LOT
longer than I thought I should have, but the Kylo action does require him to
actually HIT. Mind, NOT actually
penetrate the bloody shields, just HIT the ship/shields. THAT is where I have the biggest problem with
that card and why I find it to be just broken and stupid. Any time you have game effects breaking the
basic rules of the game, it is a problem, this is just one of the biggest
offenders. Change it to “Apply the
chosen Critical whenever a Critical would be dealt to the Ship” and it is not a
problem. Not “Fuck your shields, I use
magic to break the rules of the game”.
But in any case, he did get that off twice, but ONLY when he was able to
catch me at Range 1-2 IN Arc. Devastating
because of course he is able to cherry pick the “Blinded Pilot” to keep me from
shooting back, but it was something I could work around. I lost one Aggressor to a VERY well placed
Proximity Mine that hit for 2 and a Critical after Wamps hit the ship and the
Concussion Missile stripped a shield I think…
Might have been hit once or twice more, but this was like Turn 3… I had Ion Bombed his whole group, killed the
Bomber and then danced for almost an hour with my remaining Aggressor (C, so
Free Evades)… Was a good game, if one
that was ultimately futile I think.
What did I learn?
Well, 2 ship lists have an inherent hard counter in the Kylo Ren crew
card. The B-Wings that Parker flew so
well are actually good… He melted the
Decimator before it could do all that much against him. Might be where I go next if the Guns for Hire
expansion is not here next Month…
