Tournament 008: The Battle of Yavin

It’s time to blow up the Rebel base. Which is a bit of a shame really as I could learn so much from the secrets within those Massassi temples but we have our orders. Better yet I’m dragging my squad mates Chris and Zach along for this themed tournament over at Magic Madhouse in London.

Every wall in the local area looked like this. We in the wrong neighbourhood now

Now when it comes to lists we are somewhat limited. Sure I can fly TIE swarms but my heart isn’t in it. I understand the subtleties with regards to blocking and positioning but boiled down to it’s simplest form you’re just jousting and hurling dice and I find that kinda dull. My brothers in arms felt the same way. Zach went for his own janky take on XXYY and Chris went for 4 Lambda Shuttles, glory to the space cows! As for me, well I couldn’t think of anything more thematic than this:

Trench Run Vader 186pts

Vader with Supernatural Reflexes, Proton Rockets, Afterburners, Fire-Control System. 100pts

Mauler with Shield Upgrade, Elusive. 43pts

Scourge with Shield Upgrade, Elusive. 43pts

I’m on the leader!

So we make it to Magic Madhouse, was a bit tricky to get to and the surroundings looked like gang turf but once inside it had a homely feel to it complete with a bar, comfy sofas, plenty of tables space, and a big balcony for all us dirty smokers. Nine players in total made it down, with D20 Squadron making up a third of the group. Three rounds of swiss let’s go!
