In not knowing how to start this post I’ll go over my original side goals related to the 100 games.

Get better at the game

While the main goal was to play a set number of games with the Decimator I did have some rather important side goals which I feel like I’ve accomplished now. I am still a rather new player technically ,but feel like learnt enough in the past few months to break out of that label.

Regional’s was a bit of an eye opener for me. I knew playing the Deci in the current meta wouldn’t be the best list, but regional’s really made that point much clearer (aside from my poor performance on the day). I’m not the biggest min-maxer competitive player. I’d rather play a list that’s more fun for me even if it’s not the best, but on the other hand I do want to be in there with a shot at a top position.

So I’ve decided to hang my towel up with the Deci. I feel like 26 games was enough to really get my foot in the door with the game. I will come back to my favorite imperial ship if it becomes a more viable option in the meta again or I buy another and fly two of them…

A change is really needed to keep the game interesting for me. I could force myself to do the 100, but I’d most likely burn out and not want to play X-Wing at all. So changing up my list is a much better option going ahead.

Two weeks ago I did try out Palp aces, which was fun but not 100% my type of list. I have been looking at flying Dash for a while with Horn in mind for a secondary ship, until I heard about pairing him with a no-frills VCX 100 pilot. I also heard the Nova Squadron guys talking about it and the idea of one ship to punish the enemy at range, while having another to punish you for being close sounded really interesting. Combine that with my love of big ships in this game and it was a done deal.

So this is a new list for me, I’ve decided to go back to my report style format. I’m not putting a goal of any number of games with it, but will be logging them here as before. So expect pictures and write up’s.

As I like painting my stuff. I will paint my new list in a yet to be determined paint scheme. I’m going to do something more cleaner and fresh than my old rusted doomy Imperial scheme.

I hope my blog will still be an interesting read now that I’m not doing my 100 game goal going forward. This next X-Wing night will feel a bit strange, never played rebels before at 100 points.
