Another update from Vina del mar Chile. I have been living here 8 months with my wife while she studies so i found a local group to play plastic space ships with. I play about once or twice a week at an awesome place called Battlemage. Its hard without much spanish but i keep at it and i think this week has been my single greatest x-wing experience.
The tournament was hard to get going from having to reschedule twice because of public holidays every second weekand, mid sem exams and also just some general apathy towards 2.0 we finally managed to nail down a weekend.
We put together a ban list by voting. We had the classic bans of TLT, tie x7 and harpoon but also the more interesting of heavy laser and kylo crew and the downright strange of Shadow caster title and second mellenium falcon title. We do have a warped meta here with lots of less of the newer waves. (I have the only reaper and no one has saw's renagades).
We had the tournament as a way to hype up the players for 2.0 it is very expensive here and there are not many ways to get kits. The shop we play at only got 4 base kits and no conversion kits so we are going straight into the new limited format once people start to get the kits.
There was 6 of us today and we had a random draw. 4 emp 1 rebel and 1 scum.
Me: rac w krennic and vader JP: vader, OL and exquisitor. Filepe: vesery, deathrain and deathfire Marcello: tomax, exquisitor, and marrek in defender Tomas: with nym and dash Jesus with double firesspray kath and emon.
We had an absolute ball. Of the 9 games 4 went to time and 2 had the winner switch in the final round of shooting. There were cheers of joy and crys at how fickle dice are. But there was grins all around.
This is us after the prize giving.
Im the white boi
I would also love to thank u/Ishootfirst and u/LazyG for sending us some beautiful full art cards as prizes.
TLDR and summary: Please take a small list with you if you will be traveling and go to the Local games shops and ask about their xwing night. Rock up you could even borrow templates. You dont need the language they will laugh at you and you might feel embarrassed by pointing at your cards but in no time you will be laughing at dice rolls, lucky crits and narrow escapes. This is by far the best online/ game group i have ever had the pleasure to be part of. Happy flying :)
P.s i do now speak a bit of the language but it didnt really roll off the tongue for the title.
