Good afternoon,
On Tuesday afternoon Tim invited me around to his place for a couple of games of X Wing.
Having enjoyed flying Wedge in my last wee tournie, I thought to pair him up with Keyan Farlander sporting an HLC and PTL (to keep him stressed), as well as a Prototype A Wing with Chadron refit and Auto Thrusters.
For the first game Tim rocked out Boba Fett (with VI), and Bossk in his Hound's Tooth. Both were flying Tacticians; Bosk was also sporting a Mangler Cannon and a K4 Security Droid. Mucho action economy therein.
So...I decided to fly up the middle, concentrate on Bosk and have Bobba fly through the rocks. Cool rocks that Tim won a while back.
With both the A and the X sporting boosts, the B gets left behind...
First shots into Bosc - who had zero evades courtesy of Wedge - four shields, just like that.
Second round of shooting...
...and, alas and alak...
...what, with Wedge double stressed 'n all, thanks to Bobba's Tactician...
...Wedge don't shoot back.
Drats!
A bazillion points spent for naught but one attack.
Double drats!
Which just left the first two letters of the alphabet FTW...
Bobba breaks off...
...the A skillfully zips around the 'roid...
...and then miscalculates, boosting beyond his own firing arc.
Bother!
Bother indeed!
The B for the win then!
Ahh...
...maybe not!
But had he survived...
...Bossk would have been toast!
Gotta get me one of those YV-666s. Maybe for my birthday - the end-of-year-and-Christmas budget went on a couple of Epic ships instead.
Cool!
Thanks for the game Tim, your toys look magnificent!
Nick
