And on to game two.
After giving me a sound thrashing, Bruce was keen for another [50 point] game, this time taking both an X and Y Wing. Just short of the end of the alphabet...
I took the same TIE Is...
I'm not sure, but I think Bruce took a wrong turn here...
...so I took some advantage of his inexperience!
I stripped his shields...
...and poured on the pain!
Right, with the Rookie Pilot out of the way, time to concentrate on Dutch Vander.
From Brue's perspective, Dutch was in a target rich environment! He target locked the Sabre Squadron pilot...
...how'd I survive that?! Must have had good evade rolls. Though, if memory serves, Bruce did strip the TIE I down to it's last remaining hull point, so I flew it out of harms way, for the time being.
And flew Soontir right into Dutch so neither could fire at each other. (The Y Wing was equipped with an ion turret.)
We separate, I turn back for another try...
...and get done for my trouble!
Right, time to Push the Limit to pile up those focus and evade tokens.
Huzzah!
A much closer game this time. And a good time was had by all. So much so, that Bruce was keen for another go the following day with 100 points worth.
Which, duely, we did.

Its a good game eh?
ReplyDeleteIt's a great game mate!
DeleteJust catching up on the blog. I like the smoke markers, and congrats on your Spearhead win. Looks like I need to play more X-Wing.
DeleteHi Sean. Thanks, I've had quite a productive time of late.
DeleteAnd letz face it - everybody should play more X Wing!
So tempted by X-wing!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great game. Even the starter set gives good games. Though you soon want more toys!
DeleteNice, very nice looking game! Some pictures are reall impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. It's one of the reasons I love this game - it looks so cool on the table!
