Stay on Target - eXe Wing Tournament

This Saturday I entered the eXe-Wing Star Wars tournament which was being run by Kirton Games and hosted by Rygas Roughnecks.

Now I have to admit that I was a late entrant into the tournament, mainly due to me being undecided as to whether I wantes to go to it or the local Games Workshop stores Birthday Party.  Eventually I opted for the X-wing tournament (Which was definitely the right decision to make).

This would be the first X-Wing tournament I've entered or been to so I was a little apprehensive in going.  It has also been a g good few months since my last game. At first I was going to enter a Rebel list as I really wanted to try out the Millennium Falcon I had recently purchased, however as I had never played with the ship I thought it might me a bit silly to use it in a tournament.  As I had used my TIE Interceptors a fair bit I decided that I would go as Imperials and create a some what last minute list for them.  In the end I went with this...

Soontir Fel (27)
Push The Limit (3)

Carnor Jax (26)
Vetern Instincts (1)

Fel's Wrath (23)

Avenger Squadron Pilot (20)

TOTAL 100 Points

My Imperial squad for the tournament.  I decided to go with TIE interceptors. 

I played four games during the tournaments, three of which I lost and one I won.  In the end I finished 16th out of 22. 

It was a great day and I learned a lot from the other players and it was clear that I still have a lot to learn about this game and how to build a good list.  With that in mind I decided to put together a Rebel list which I'm going to start playing with and adjust as I go along.  I may then use it in the next tournament I enter.  Here's it is...

Dash Rendar (36)
Nien Numb (1)
Ion Cannon (3)

Tycho Cechu (26)

2 x Prototype Pilots (17 each)



I'm already thinking of was that I can tweak the list so I can give Tycho Push The Limit (Hoping I can use Chardon Refit cards to reduce the Prototype pilots costs down by 2, if not I may use that card to swap the prototype pilots for Green Squadron pilots, thus giving me some higher agility pilots). 

My other option is to drop one of the A-wings and use the points to equip the reaming two with missiles.  I could also gibe the YT-2400 some more upgrades. 

Anyway let me know what you think. 

An don't forget we'll be demoing Star wars X-Wing as part of Exeter International Tabletop Day.
