My first game for the 2017 Christchurch Regionals and I was up against that most rare of beasts - a female X Wing player!
Abby had rocked down from Auckland (with some magnificent tatoos - one of Princess Leia, one of Captain Phasma), with Mind Linked Fen Rau and a couple of rather pretty Jumpmasters.
I was flying...
...Palob with TLT, Kato with clusters and a couple of Heavy Sycks with Mangler Cannon.
I was a bit scared of, well, all of the list - that's a lot of hull for my little ships to chop through - so I set up as far away as I could, hoping to work around their flank.
Scary, but pretty.
Pretty-In-Purple flies onto a rock...
...taking no damage, however.
Drats.
Still I wind my way around, sending one Syck the long way round. Funny ships these. Can't fly fast, can't fly slow...
We all start turning in...
Well, at least I wasn't flying into all of them at once.
Alas, a lucky crit got through to Palob, and...
...poos! All of my upgrades and pilot skills went kerflunk!
Yay, my Hawk is now a one attack mini bus!
It was then pointed out to me that I just lost Palob's skill and the Elite upgrade...though I still lost the TLT thanks to Boba who was crewing Pretty-In-Purple.
And then...
...Fen Rau comes to the party...
...as does Pretty-In-Purple!
Stink!
Sooo...
...yeah...
Time was called. IIRC I did at least manage to get one of the Jumpmasters down to half points...?
Well played Abby, well played!

Very cool report :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! It was a good game, lots of sharks circling before the commit!
