Also with PTL-Pattern Analyzers, if you do a green maneuver, you lose the stress from PTL the turn you've PTL'ed, making your dial more available if you didn't take any damage.

List 1 faced up against Vessery with Juke and x7, Ryad with x7, PTL, and Twin Ion Engine, and Pure Sabacc with Swarm Leader, LWF, and Adaptive Ailerons. I assigned a Score to Settle to Pure Sabacc. I screwed up the first engagement unfortunately, and knowing it, tried fleeing with Biggs and Wedge. Biggs got lit up. Then Wedge had all his shields stripped, then bumped but got a shield back with no attacks in return. Kinda sensing that the next upcoming bump was going to result in a lot of fire in return, I k-turned so the only shot on me would be from Pure Sabacc (whom I had put two damage cards on), but I needed the kill on Pure Sabacc at range 1, and yet only rolled 3 blanks and one focus which was turned into a crit. Of course the other guy naturally rolled 2 hits, a crit, and a focus that was converted to a crit. Wedge rolled 0 evades and died. The other guy had to leave early, so I conceded at this point so he'd be able to get an extra game in. Not the greatest performance, but I mostly chalk that up to screwing up the first encounter.

List 2 faced Norra with R2-D2, Tail Gunner, title, and PTL, Shara with Tail Gunner, R5-K6, the title, and Adaptability, and Thane with R3-A2, Tail Gunner, and the title. He took initiative. Here, I kinda wanted him to come through the rocks at me, which he kinda did out of annoyance when I skated through the opposite side of the table. First round of fire was just Eaden at Thane, and the second was Eaden and Keyan against the three arcs. Keyan's ability to get rid of two stress within Range 1-2 of Eaden kicked in actually. I then targeted Shara who was more exposed without the focus token and got a couple hull damage in, but Keyan lost all of his shields. I'm pretty sure he was using R5-K6 incorrectly however, since he was reacquiring when another ship was using Shara's. Thane stressing himself helped out fuel Eaden though. Next round the Y-Wing got in. Keyan managed to continue to damage Shara and bumped Norra, so he managed to survive. I then saw Shara was down to 2 hull, so with the Y-Wing I did a primary on Thane and then TLTed Shara to death. Next turn I managed to arc dodge Norra, and Keyan managed four damage into Norra since Thane was out of arc. Seeing how well that went, I decided to keep going against Norra even though an unshielded Thane was available to my Y-Wing and Eaden. Managed to finish Norra off that turn, where he called it.

I played him again with list 3, which was Leebo with Mangler Cannon, Outrider, Chewbacca, Determination, Smuggling Compartment, and Glitterstim with two Blue Squadron Pilots with Advanced Sensors. He decided to fly Major Stridan with Hux and Advanced Sensors with 4 Epsilon Squadron Pilots. So we were silly here. He wanted to fortress the first couple turns. I wanted him in the rocks. So then he fortressed for 3 turns, I had my B-Wings do a two straight, k-turn, do a two straight, and then k-turn again while having Leebo k-turn and move back. Afterwards, he started moving his ships to the other side of his end of the board. My B-Wings were at 45 degree angles, so they did a 1 forward, and then barrel rolled so they just moved to the left along the table edge. By turn 11, we were still in our own deployment zones. At this point we decided to play so I fast-played for his sake. Probably should have slow played down the corridor of asteroids to bring him in them a bit more. After the first round of fire where only one TIE and B were in range and we both evaded maximum hits we engaged, and I actually got rid of a TIE, albeit took a couple of shields on the B-Wing. Over the engagements I managed to get another one off and get a damage card on another, but he took a B-Wing down and managed to block another B-Wing into submission. He actually used some good blocking to keep the Shuttle engaged for an extra 3 turns. Leebo was melted quickly afterwards, his ability coming into play on the killing blow, didn't draw a pilot crit. Man, the biggest thing about that match is that those TIEs become really tanky with both a Hux focus and an evade.

Called it a night there.
