No changes to the lineup this week. Still using Jax as my secondary ship. I did experiment with using debris fields instead of asteroids. It really opens the map up for the Deci. So think I’ll stick with them from now on.

Game #8 vs Glenn – Loss

Glenn Ran:

YT-2400 – Dash Rendar, Kyle Katarn, Engine Upgrade, HLC, PtL, Outrider HWK 290 – Jan Ors, Adaptability, Moldy Crpw, TLT, Hull Upgrade, Nien Nunb, Cluster Mines

I was too aggressive with my interceptor in this game and got it blown up on about turn 3. Combo of TLT and five shots from dice plus bad defence on my side sealed Jax’s fate.

A pretty big loss so early with this list. I managed to get into one of Dash and shoot him down for a few rounds, but didn’t quit get there. I had Dash on 2 hull along with the HWK so felt pretty good about that. It really looked I was going to lose pretty hard after I lost the inceptor, so losing not as hard was a better outcome…

Game #9 vs Michael – Win

Michael Ran:

Jumpmaster 5000 – Dengar, Punishing One, Engine Upgrade, PtL, Unhinged Astromech, K4 Security Droid, Inertial Dampeners, Starviper – Guri, Virago, Cloaking Device, Predator, Auto Thrusters, Advance Sensors

So Michael’s dice hated him this game. I blew Guri off the board one turn one. Jax and Deci shooting then Vadering for the last hull point. After that Jax and the RAC whittled the punishing one down, along with some Vadering.

Game #10 vs Ronan – Win

Ronan Ran:

T-70 X-Wing – Blue Squadron Pilot T-70 X-Wing – Blue Squadron Pilot T-70 X-Wing – Blue Squadron Pilot B-Wing – Blue Squadron Pilot, Intelligence Agent, Mangler Cannon

Another game against young Ronan. A Swarmish list, so was a bit weary of it. I was happy that most of the ships were naked except the B-Wing. Also having all the pilots at skill 2 meant that predator was going to get some good work in this game.

Took two of the X-wings out. Deci had a bunch of damage on it. I was stressed with it and tried to do a red move (crit card, forgot about it). So Ronan flew me off the board. The deci was only on 2 hull so wasn’t that bad. Jax took out the last X-Wing then we had a dog fight that seriously lasted like 20mins and then finally got it down. I really need to work on my inceptor flying. I need to be more familiar with how boosting and barrel rolls can get me into different positions.

Thoughts for the night

Happy with my performance mostly. I need to work on my Inceptor positioning and flying skills. Also keep remembering to use rebel captive.

Going to Nowra on Sunday

Looking forward to playing in my second store championship at the Archer Hotel. Also staying the night thanks to Brandon at the Hotel. Should be an awesome day! I decided if I start getting my butt kicked early I’ll then start playing booze-wing.
