This entry will be more or less about whats coming up in the rest of the year for me. There are some big events coming up for us in Australia and I’ve got plenty of training to do!

Its been 2 months since my last post and I think it is appropriate to do a little catch up first. My intense training in the mountains with Han, Leia, and Luke finished at 32/8 (80% win rate!) at the end of the season.

My last Hyperspace Trial for the season was the Hall of Heroes Hyperspace Trial. I was on a hot streak for 4 games and my last two losses left me finishing at 12th. Although my goal has been to make the top table cut, I was more than happy to finally score some dice and range rulers – I lost my rulers that I won in 1.0 😦 and these dice are HOT! All of my opponents really made me work for those wins that day and I finally had my first matchup against my day 1 co-pilot, Cameron, after we were both sitting on 4/0.

I think I really felt the burn out after this – pushing in as many games as I could – and went a bit silent, waiting until next season and our SOS.

Hyperspace Trials

Season 2 is upon us! I think my expectations aren’t as heavy for this season. No more late nights on vassal trying to make sure I fit in one game a day (why was I doing this…), but rather just fit in the games where I can ( 2 games for local league, 2 games for a vassal league).

This is also a big goodbye to Luke gunner. As strong as this card is, I understand I need to keep learning and pushing myself to fly better. Although we’ve seen price increases to a number of rebel/falcon upgrades, losing Luke gives me 16 points to play with after the increases. Im honestly thinking of just loading on R2-D2 and and Shield Upgrade and sticking with what I know. Hotshot gunner, VTG, and Engine Upgrade are also valid upgrades.

I’ve also been playing around with losing Leia and keeping Han lean with just Trickshot. I can fit in 2x Blue Squadron B-wings with Passive Sensors and Proton Torpedos. Neat. Currently sitting at 4/1 (80% again, the magic number).



Feel free to chuck some sage advice my way if you’ve got it!

System Open Series

Well we got our first offical System Open Series in Australia. Everyone is absolutely putting reps in extended lists for this reason.

My list isn’t wildly different then what I’ve been flying. I love the freedom of movement Luke gave me, and despite the death of Handbreak Han, Kanan still is an amazing choice to keep Han moving fast. Currently sitting at 6/2 (75% win rate, nooo).

Han Solo (82)

Trick Shot (4)

Leia Organa (6)

Kanan Jarrus (12)

Shield Upgrade (4) Ship total: 108 Half Points: 54 Threshold: 7 Braylen Stramm (51)

Oceanic Team Championship

For the people by the people! The Oceanic Team Championship is a community run event where teams compete for the ultimate gloating rights. This year we’re seeing teams for most Australian states, New Zealand, Singapore, and the all important Mercenary teams. Lucky for me, this year there are two merc teams and I’ve been selected for one!

This is the events fourth year running and from what I’ve seen and heard its fiercely competitive. Each team consists of 6 players ( and one backup) who will all play a different faction with unique card limits active across all 6 factions. Only one Lone Wolf per team, only one Leia per team, you get it. Once teams are matched, captains will take turns matching up players for optimal results.



Although teams have been revealed, players’ factions and lists have not! So I’ll keep that hush hush for now 🙂

I’m hoping to do some recaps of my local league over the coming weeks – Stay tuned!
