Whats the Points?

August 20th was my last entry. Suffice it to say, life got a little more hectic than I anticipated. With everything that was going on, I sacrificed writing the blog for a while.

Calm Coastline – DAD BSSL W8

The final week of the Dials and Dice league left us with no list building challenge whatsoever, and with the then-upcoming Jawa Junkyard Jamboree 2 on the horizon, I wanted to continue playing Welterweight games like week 2 to figure out my list for that event.

Snips! – RJO Ahsoka

Ahsoka was the first of the Renegades Jedi Order series qualifiers, and the format was Extended with locked lists. I had signed up for this pretty much immediately after my wildly successful run at Lah’mu, and decided to carry my list forward.

Ebbs and Flows – DAD BSSL W7

Week 7 is possibly the most interesting and in-depth format for this league, and I was looking forward to it from the initial announcement: JOUST ME!

Riding the Barrel – DAD BSSL W6

Week six was over two weeks ago now, and in keeping with my apparent scheduling problems, I’m finally writing about it. This week, the league followed the same restriction as the recent Team Jawa Women of Star Wars event.

In Person X-Wing! – 513 Gaming

Not too long ago, I took an unexpected vacation to my hometown of Cincinnati, and I actually managed to get some in-person play against some players from outside my local area. I had been there a couple of times before, most recently taking 8th out of 19 in a small tournament there, and I was glad to be heading back.

Stranger Tides – DAD BSSL W5

Two weeks ago (I’m really behind, ok?) the theme for list building was simple: no list building! Instead, we’d be doing Jank Tank.

Lah’mu Galactic Qualifier – Top Cut

So, based on the previous article, you knew this one was coming. For the 4th time in my time playing X-Wing, I’d made Top Cut at a major event.

Lah’mu Galactic Qualifier

I have been looking at various hyperspace lists in preparation for this event specifically, and keep coming back to Jedi as my potentially strongest choice. I had played with 3x 7b Jedi Knight + THING a couple of times, and the one I had the most success with was Obi-Wan in the ETA-2.

Riding the Wave – DAD BSSL W4

Another week, another interesting list building challenge. This time around, all pilots in your our lists must be part of the same thematic squadron from Star Wars. Considering my near obsession with Soontir Fel, Saber Squadron is obviously the choice for the week, right?
