shmitty Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Coming May 3rd.... All Wings Report In! An X-Wing Tournament at Dice Age Games We're going to try something a little different for the May 3rd tournament. It will be a standard 100 point tournament, but there will be some simple requirements for squad building. Each squad must include at least 1 unique pilot and the rest of the squad must be made up of other pilots from the same squadron. As an example you might include Biggs, Garven and 2 Red Squadron Pilots as your squad build. I did some digging around on Wookiepedia and came up with the following squads as options: Red Squadron (Yavin) - Garven, Wedge, Biggs, Luke w/ R2-D2, Red Squadron PilotGold Squadron (Yavin) - Dutch, Gold Squadron PilotGold Squadron (Endor) - Lando w/ Nien Numb, Gold Squadron PilotGray Squadron - Horton Salm, Gray Squadron PilotGreen Squadron - Arvel, Tycho, Green Squadron PilotBlue Squadron - Ten Numb, Ibtisam, Blue Squadron Pilot Black Squadron (Yavin) - Vader, Mauler Mithel, Backstabber, Dark Curse, Black Squadron PilotBlack Squadron (post-Yavin) - Colonel Jendon w/ Vader and ST-321, Black Squadron PilotObsidian Squadron - Howlrunner, Night Beast, Winged Gundark, Obsidian Squadron PilotSaber Squadron - Fel, Turr, Fel's Wrath, Lorrir, Tetran Cowall, Saber Squadron PilotRoyal Guard - Carnor Jax, Kir Kanos, Captain Kagi, Royal Guard PilotScimitar Squadron - Ryhmer, Jonus, Scimitar Squadron Pilot I felt like after all of the competitive list building for the Store Championships, a tournament based on themed lists could be a lot of fun. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPeeler Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hmmm... no big ships, other than Lando, eh? I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a bunch of shiny new interceptors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmitty Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Actually there are 2 shuttles listed with the above squads. I figure Vader's shuttle (Colonel Jendon) could go with Black Squadron and the Emperor's shuttle (Captain Kagi) could go with the Royal Guard. And yes, I would expect to see lots of Saber Squadron...

shmitty Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 With the release of the transports, the new X-wings and upgrades will be legal for the tournament on Saturday. So, I expect to see some Rogue Squadron builds and maybe a Red Squadron with Porkins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 so would this be legal? Biggs Luke - R2D2, Hull upgrade, Draw their fire Wedge - R2, Engine upgrade, Expose (or opportunist) 99/100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skarboy Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 A quick question for clarity. You list Luke w/ R2D2 in your example for Red Squadron. Does that mean if you don't use Luke, you can't use R2D2? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmitty Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Right. The idea of the tournament is to use the pilots as they actually appeared in the movies/books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
