X-Wing, League Month 2 (Mattoon) Sat


Ah, heading to Mattoon Saturday for Month 2 of their League cycle…  We’ll see if changing the time brings out more players…  Should, as the game store opens up seems a slightly awkward time to hold the event.  Since this is a VERY new environment and I do not want to go in with one of my strong “meta” lists to discourage the newer folks from staying with the game looking at a few more “fun” lists…

This one is LOTS of repositioning and should be amusing, if exhausting to fly:
New Squadron (92)
"Whisper" — TIE Phantom
32
Veteran Instincts
1
Sensor Jammer
4
Hotshot Co-pilot
4
Advanced Cloaking Device
4
Ship Total: 45

Kylo Ren (TIE Silencer) — TIE Silencer
35
Push the Limit
3
Advanced Sensors
3
Advanced Optics
2
Autothrusters
2
First Order Vanguard
2
Ship Total: 47


Maybe swap the HotCop for “Rebel Captive” to stress the first one to target Whisper…  Will see.  Either is a pretty good call I think.  HUGE bid, so assuming no one went PS crazy and brought the 10-11 level, I’ll let them go first and play the Ace “reposition” game.  Should be amusing at least, even if it would get smashed I think by the Ghost/Fenn Rau lists that are all the rage these days…

Other option is I think the Rebel “Anti Gunboat” list…
FennPoeWes11 (100)
Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) — Sheathipede-class Shuttle
20
Veteran Instincts
1
Tactician
2
R2 Astromech
1
Vectored Thrusters
2
Ship Total: 26

Poe Dameron (PS9) — T-70 X-Wing
33
Veteran Instincts
1
R2-D2
4
Advanced Optics
2
Vectored Thrusters
2
Black One
1
Ship Total: 43

Wes Janson — X-Wing
29
Veteran Instincts
1
Flight-Assist Astromech
1
Integrated Astromech
0
Ship Total: 31


Not bad, I call it my BSG (Battlestar Galactica) list because it looks like a pair of Colonial Vipers with a Raptor when it hits the table.  2 X-Wings and an Attack Shuttle.  Many are the shenanigans here with Token denial, etc…  But not an overly strong list again…  Fun to fly and I hope fun to fly against…  Probably more so than the Silencer/Phantom list above…  That one is just slippery… 

But we’ll see what I end up playing I guess…
