[X Wing] A quick interlude

I've managed very little gaming lately as I've been preparing for finals. Luckily they are done and dusted and I have a wee break. In between examinations I was able to fit in one game of X-Wing with Andy. I also had left a table set up at home since Pooch had visited earlier this month and would play solo turns in an effort to become a better pilot.

Larger tabletop than normal I know.

I eventually fit in a couple solo games one turn at a time and I'm happy to report that I won all of them.(!)
I wasn't confident enough in my exam preperation to take part in the tournament but the following Friday I did get a chance to visit Andy's new casa as well as throw down with the alarmingly popular Imperial Aces again. They are slippery!
Andy's list used two Academy pilots, one Obsidian as well as three interceptors! However only one had a decent pilot skill of 7 and another with 4 all of the rest were lowly ones. At first I was like, easy! Then I realised how much firepower that is.
I fluffed my placement and was heading right for the mob of them. I shot first and was able to bag one but even with stealth Biggs was hit multiple times.

Mid point in the game, no more Biggs

Another concentration and he is taken out. In between was a bunch of wild manoeuvring trying to get shots on the TIEs while avoiding as many shots as possible. My practice flying paid off here, though I did forget turn order once or twice! With nine fighters on the table to start the furball was large and complicated.
In the end we shot down all of his interceptors and one of his TIEs before he finished off Dutch in his Y Wing.
Fun game Andy!
