TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)
“Echo” (37)
TIE Phantom (30), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Palpatine commanding his Aces here.I would have expected a Sontir but he opted in Echo instead.
As we had 7 players there were some byes so I only really have 2 matches to report. As I played in the tourney I couldn't really keep an eye on the other games but I think next time I T.O something I'll sit out and have a look.
Match 1
Teach
Lambda-Class Shuttle (21), Emperor Palpatine (8)
Darth Vader (34)
TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

YT-1300 (46), Push the Limit (3), Chewbacca (4), Nien Nunb (1), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)
I managed to get Teach's Falcon down quite low but in the end I had split my dps as my Y wing was shooting at Poe who was just healing back his shields with R2D2. In the end I should have tried to focus down one of ships instead of being greedy. Teach took out my whole list leaving me with only 29 points from damaging his falcon to lower than half.
Match 2
Amit
Omicron Group Pilot (29)
Lambda-Class Shuttle (21), Emperor Palpatine (8)
Darth Vader (34)
TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)
“Echo” (37)
TIE Phantom (30), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Taking advantage of bumping and still being able to assign tokens using K4 on Kath and both Guri's pilot ability and her fire control system I managed to keep my ships shots accurate. Though the Phantom got off a few good shoots and eventually took out my Y-Wing, Vader was denied actions for the whole dog fight due to bumping in the close range mess my opponent and I had caused. This meant that Vader never got to use his Advanced Targeting Computer. Ultimately I was able to take out both Aces and then eventually the shuttle which was pretty defenseless to to Kath and Guri.
In the end we had an awesome day of flying and generous prize support from the club!
Thanks for reading guys! Store Championship reports coming soon.
