League Night: The End

My final battle of the league will be up against Mario. It’s been a little tricky getting the game in as not only does he run the cafe, he thought it would be a great idea to run off to Canada for a couple of weeks, so there was a bit of a queue upon his return. Luke is this week’s pilot and I’ve gone for this:

(73) Hera Syndulla [VCX-100 Light Freighter]

(6) Leia Organa

(5) Nien Nunb

Points: 84

(62) Luke Skywalker [T-65 X-wing]

(0) Servomotor S-foils

Points: 62

(48) Thane Kyrell [T-65 X-wing]

(0) Servomotor S-foils

Points: 48

Total points: 194

Mario took Kylo, Blackout, and Longshot.

Hera has a 4K on the dial but Longshot moved in hard to block it off, switched it to a turn and faced the Silencers instead. What’s the worst that could happen?

The worst did in fact happen and the Silencers nuked Thane off the board at range 3. Bugger.

A few turns of styling moves brought me back in the game with Blackout getting powderised and Longshot not long for this world.

But the damage was done. Hera and Longshot were taking out of the picture leaving a half health Luke to chase a full health Kylo with mere minutes on the clock. Kylo ran for two turns and talon rolled when I least expected it, taking Luke out.

I knew he’d gone to Canada but I reckon he was getting tips from the X-Wing judges. It’s the only reason I can think of for how he stomped me and Chris in one sitting. We’re in the car going home looking at each other like wtf happened?

Here’s some data for those of you who’ve been keeping up. Yes. The three of you at the back there. First up, final standings.

I’d recommend running a league down your local. List restrictions, bonus points for this and that. It allows for a lot more variation. You can fly a themed list competitively knowing that your opponent will be forced to put some points aside for double edge or whatever dusty card comes out the hat.

Well that wraps that up, now onto some news. The whole Deathrain thing ran its course I’d argue when 1.0 ended. There’s not much more for me to say and not much point in writing. I still play but my attention has wandered off to other hobbies. Their will however be one final episode to conclude a few years of joy. Anyone remember this?

Won an event at Warlords and was given a shiny coin for my troubles. This wasn’t a trophy however. This was the price of admittance. A call to arms. A reminder that it wasn’t over yet. In three weeks I will be summoned back to the north and put in the arena with all other coin holders. A battle to the death with champions? Can’t think of a more glorious way to go out. Tune in to the Weekend Warlords Twitch channel on the 9th and 10th of November to see who will be the last X-winger standing.
