Thread: Malifaux/X-wing Evening of Saturday, October 5?

Not quite the list I was talking about the other night. But he had a chewie falcon and a han falcon with...wedge? And I had Kath, Boba, Omicron pilot and Dark Curse.

My exact list:

Dark Curse (19)
-Stealth Engine
Omicron Group Pilot (32)
-Ion Cannon
-Gunner
-Vader
Kath Scarlet (41)
-Marksmanship
Boba Fett (58)
-Autoblaster
-Proton Bomb
-Expert Handler
-Navigator
-Engine Upgrade

Boba Fett got nailed HARD early on (much to the disappointment of the kid's 40k players watching, who wanted to cheer on the Fettigator), he drops his bomb last second before he gets shot down...catching a massive pile up of Dark Curse, the Omicron, Han and the X-wing (with some lucky shots that turn immediately taking out Han and Wedge right after Fett). Dark Curse got direct hit from the bomb, making him not long for the world either. Left with just Chewie versus shuttle and Kath, the shuttle starts using vader like mad, hoping to toss as much extra punishment out before he either loses out on keeping chewie in LoS or his 1 agility fails him. After the shuttle dies, chewie and kath start a slow speed chase, keeping each other in target range one several turns in a row. Both started out with no shields and low health (a crit taking out Kath's marksmanship earlier in the game), and Kath's firing first and one extra agility blow chewie out of the sky a split second before chewie would take her out (1 hp left).

In retrospect, chewie had the +2 pilot skill upgrade, so they'd have simultaneous firing, so there's a strong possibility it would have ended a draw, correct?

Probably would have run Kath with more upgrades, but I wanted to start the game and I had exactly 19 points left, so I tossed in the TIE. Not the quintuple large ship list either, it was partially showing off the game to someone else, so I wanted a bit more of a dynamic list.

...without the upgrade, Chewie is pilot skill 5?! Seems a bit low, but then again the rebels might have spent all their awesomeness points on all the bloody PS 9 stuff out there (and 12 from the Hwks...which I found my last one at the Round Rock Barnes and Noble!)
