#181st imperial fighter wing ps3#
Two pilots at PS3 and one at PS6 it turns out is no match for three pilots with PS11, PS9 and PS9 respectively. Playing chicken with two TIE Advanced and a Phantom didn't go as well as I thought it might. This was by far the weakest of all the games of the day. However, I thought that it was perhaps a flair that all of the New Orders fighters had. "Yay, more Imperials! And another Phantom!" Does the Red Striped TIE belong to the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing When I first saw the image of the Red striped TIE my mind went one place, the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing. Game 3 - Matt running Vader, Stele and Whisper. It turns out that the Defenders aren't agile enough to follow even the Lambda and outmanoeuvre the Punisher. After popping off Howlrunner and an Academy pilot or two, it should be simple enough to take out the shuttle and the Punisher. "So, after a near-win in the first round, I can claw this back." Game 2 - Ritchie running Cutlass squadron pilot, Omicron group pilot, 2 Academy pilots and Howlrunner. After losing Jonus and crippling Whisper, the Defender and Whisper continued to dance around the asteroids until, pop! Side arc, range 1 from Whisper! 5 attack vs. So, right off the bat, lets go for the Decimator (wrong move!) Within three rounds, Chiraneau is spinning towards the (metaphorical) bottom of deep space, taking Emperor Palpatine with him! 58 easy points in the bag for me! Now for Jonus and my remaining Defender to chase down Whisper! Easy, right? Wrong again. "So, first game of my first tournament! And it's against Imperials! This should be easy right?" Game 1 - James B running Rear Admiral Chiraneau and Whisper. X2 Onyx Squadron Pilots (32) with Heavy Laser Cannon (7) 39 x 2 = 78 points So, this is going to be my first blog post about a championship in my one of my FLGS, namely Zone Out in Doncaster. Each K wing had a recon specialist on so stopping them getting any focus, let alone the 2 they were due, was quite fun. While it's almost impossible to stop the K Wing from doing what it needs to, they managed alright. Mostly due to Kath and Mara chasing them down screaming at them. My TIEs even managed to survive this one! Kath, however, didn't. The right combo of astromech's prevented a lot of the damage from sticking to the damned X wings, but all in all, I learned a lot.

Never flown against the first two, but the latter. Rebel player brings out Tarn Mison, Red Ace and Poe Dameron. " Let's see if it can go better than last time." My list included Kath Scarlett in the Firespray 31 with Mara Jade, Engine Upgrade, Mangler cannon and Veteran Instincts, and a 1/2 TIE Swarm (2 Academy, 2 Obsidian) to block/round out the list. It was unusual, so I'm told, to not see a Falcon or anything "expected." We had 13 Rebel players come out, with a stunning eight, (yes, 8) K-Wings being played.

The Imperial players included myself, and Worlds 2014 Top 4 placer Keith Wilson. Unlike the previous tournament entered, the Winter Kit, turnout was excellent! 18 players turned up, only 2 of which had Imperials, and 3 took Scum. So, after about two weeks (yes, readers, I'm lazy/busy/both) I'll post up what happened at the Zone Out Store Championship.
