Tournament 006: Bombers

Aces, Bombers, and Swarms. Three of the four pillars that make X-Wing and the Imperials have good options for each. The forth being Turrets but if you want to know more about that you can go join the Rebellion or become a bounty hunter. Now for my next tourney I didn’t want to fly Jester Squadron again. Sure it exceeds all expectations but I’ll set it aside in a box labelled ‘Break in case of big tournament’. I asked the FB group which pillar they want to see more of and the winner by 2 votes was… Bombers. Ffs.

Now I can pick out Deathrain’s silhouette on the ‘Who’s that Punisher?’ interval before the ad break, but that doesn’t mean I know how to fly an all bomb squad. While it might be more efficient to use TIE Bombers without device upgrades I’m kinda committed to bringing every type of explosive.

Back to Ibuywargames in Woking. On a Saturday this time so it didn’t take me 3 months to get there. Got to meet Tom who’d just come back from Coruscant, lovely bloke. Admittedly I walked past him a couple of times because I’d only seen him on stream and for some reason I thought he was 7ft tall.

Should’ve got him to sign my shirt

As always the Zombies, Firestorm and 186th make the bulk of the room with a few lone wolves mixed in. If you want to know if your list has any legs, you go 5 rounds in this ring.
