Welcome to Tales of a Tauntaun! A bottom table blog of self improvement through practice and dedication.

I’m still just a pup!

Having played X-Wing for over a year now, I thought I would naturally get better at the game without much effort and BOY was I wrong!

Since 2.0, I have never made it to the top 50% and have hardly broken the bottom 25%. Flying casually was natural and I’ve always had fun even when losing most games at any given tournament. Fun is important. But now, winning is too. I want that loot and I’m going to have to work hard for it!

With this blog I aim to focus on documenting my own personal journey through X-Wing as a low to mid tier player on the road to top table(hopefully). This will include personal squad building/tweaking and weekly battle reports in an effort to increase my skill level (maybe a little painting too!)

I’m hoping to provide an interesting perspective to players who have aspirations like myself to make that top cut. Will I be a legend? Probably not, but I believe my hard work will pay off in time.
