Stay on Target - Disco Vader tournament report



Bit late in posting but a few weeks ago I took part in Kirton Games Disco Vader X-Wing tournament.  There were 12 players and we played 3 games.  For this tournament I decided to use a scum list which I’d been working on (I normally play Rebels but fancied a change).   This is the list I ran with;

Denger (33)
Punishing One (12)
Push The Limit (3)
Gonk (2)
Unhinged Astromech(1)

Syndicate Thug (18)
BTL-A4 (0)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Unhinged Astromech (1)

Syndicate Thug (18)
Ion Cannon (5)
Unhinged Astromech (1)


Over the course of the tournament (which was held during the evening) we played 3 games.  The first two of which I won (Wiping out both by opponents squads and only losing 1 of my ships in each game, which happened to be the Y-Wing with the TLT on it.  Every get the feeling people don’t like that turret weapon! ).  I was on good track but by my third and final game but I was up against a very good opponent who managed to table me (wiping out my entire squad!).  I did do some damage to his squad, and because they were large ships I got half points for doing 50% or more damage to them, so managed to scrape 35 points.  During my final round I had a good shot of getting the points up to 50 out of the possible 100 available (Which would have made the defeat less of an issue), all I had to do was score one or more hits on one of his ships.  Unfortunately my attack dice had other plans and rolled blanks for me! 

My prizes for coming 4th!

In the end I finished 4th, which I was rather surprised by as this is the highest I’ve every placed in an X-Wing tournament.  I was really happy with  my squad list so will probably use it again in future tournaments.
