Just came home from a little store tournament in Fitchburg, where I was flying my "Quick Swarm" build in preperations for Reagionals. The list can been seen here: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/806961/quick-swarm#

I went 2-1.

Round 1 was against Rear Admiral Chiraneau with Expose and Emperor Palpatine along with Major Vynder and the Os-1 Arsenal Loadout. I lost "Quickdraw" about half way through the match but was able to tigger the Swarm Leader title a couple of times. So RAC died from a collison with my Delta Squadron Pilot and 2 Stunned Pilot cards. 100 to 38 Win.

Round 2 I was flying against "Crimson Specialist" "Snap" Wexley and Tycho Celchu. The Ordnance Silos and Proton Bombs on the bomber messed me up badly. I got bottle necked right in front of the bomber, and I forgot that it has a red 0 maneuver. 2 Proton Bombs later and some very badly timed Blinded Pilot damage cards on my 2 eligible ships and I was nearly dead on all ships. Then a crit on debris the next turn took out a Dlta Squadron Pilot, and by the ehnd of the turn everyone was dead. 18-100 Loss.

Round 3 was aginst "Blackout" and 2 Rho Squadron Veterans. We both gunned it straight forward, so shot were exchanged round 1 were 1 Delta Squadron Pilot was double Harpooned and had only 1 hull left. Round 2 and Quickdraw trigger Swarm Leader to remove Blackout from the table and the Defenders bagan to chase down the reloading Rhos. A few rounds later and the nearly dead Defender finally died, but the other 2 ships had almost full health and the match ended shortly after. 100-29 Win.

Great games by some good local players. One new player went 3-0 with a Darth Vader, Ryad and TIE Phantom list.

I learned a lot today as I hadn't faced the new Resistance Bomber yet.
