Thanks for sharing? (edit - punctuation fail! lol! Thanks for sharing!!! - left it in in case you saw it before I wrote this and thought I was being an ass lol)

It seems you handily dismantled the YT + 2 escorts lists both times without breaking a sweat... do you find that was a given, or was luck or skill a big factor in the games?

Personally, I found that the TIE swarm is formidable, but, yes, with some skill and decent dice rolls.

If you clump your TIEs together and just charge straight in, you may find your enemy weaves out of your firing arc. I like to spread out my TIEs from the beginning (as seen in the video) and converge on my opponents from all sides in a sort of pincer movement. Then the enemy ships have no where to escape and often get trapped in the resulting furball.

With the enemy ships trapped in the furball and at range 1, all those TIEs firing are truly devastating!

I was so impressed with my standard TIE Fighters in this tournament that I'll be going back to an 8 TIE swarm in the next tournament!

I dont normally attend tournaments for the other games i play but i'd really like to play in a x-wing one. Unfortunately i dont think there are any around here :/. Thanks for sharing.
