Battle Report: 8/17/2014 X-Wing

I cannot believe it has been just slightly over 3 months since I last played a game of X-Wing and about 2 months since playing any game..... been keeping myself busy trying to quit smoking, diet and picked up cycling all at the same time (been doing really good with those three). Plus the garage is really really hot here in the summer months. So after my morning ride yesterday morning, I decided to go and get a game of X-Wing in with my son and we headed on out to our LGS with our X-Wing gaming mat in tow.

I actually really do enjoy playing this game, pretty quick to setup and cleanup, plays really quick (standard tournament game is 75 minutes) and no models to paint, LOL.

Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures of the game, but here are the lists that we played.  I was going for a 'Han Shoots First' alternative and my son, of course had Luke.

=============
Han And 2 Y's
=============

100 points

Pilots
------

Han Solo (54)
YT-1300 (46), Marksmanship (3), Gunner (5)

Gold Squadron Pilot (23)
Y-Wing (18), Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Gold Squadron Pilot (23)
Y-Wing (18), Ion Cannon Turret (5)

=============================
Luke/Rookie/2x Green Squadron
=============================

100 points

Pilots
------

Luke Skywalker (35)
X-Wing (28), R2-D2 (4), Marksmanship (3)

Rookie Pilot (21)

Green Squadron Pilot (22)
A-Wing (19), Push the Limit (3)

Green Squadron Pilot (22)
A-Wing (19), Push the Limit (3)

Let's just say that Han shot the $#!7 out of Luke and from there it was all over.  I always enjoy playing with the YT-1300 (favorite ship).... but next time I'll try something different.
