Since There isn't really a good place to drop battle reports, I thought I'd start my own sort of journal.

Blue Squadron: Ibistam w/ Push the Limit & Heavy Laser Cannon and x2 Blue Squadron Pilots w/ Fire Control Systems & Heavy Laser Cannons
8 Tie/LN Swarm: 4 Academy Pilot and 4 Obsidian Pilots

Set Up: He split his forces, the 4 academy pilots on one side, I set up on the opposite corner, he set up the obsidian opposite from blue squadron.
Turn 1: We closed...
Turn 2: The obsidian moved straight towards blue squadron, blue squadron turned to face the oncoming academy pilots. Combat showed 2 destroyed obsidian pilots and 2 of ibistam's shields down. 2 of the obsidian didn't get to shoot (out of arc and shot down).
Turn 3: The obsidian turned to follow blue squadron (1 ending up racing out in front of a blue squadron b-wing) and the academy pilots moving to point blank range. Combat had 2 of the academy pilots down and ibistam down to 2 shields, and the blue squadron pilots down to 2&3 shields.
Turn 4: The snarl gets thick, every one is within a move of 1 from everyone else. Combat down to one obsidian pilot and one academy pilot, and ibistam and one of the blue pilots have 0 shields, the other has 3.

Good game...We called it at the end of turn 4, with 3 b wings against the 2 tie/ln and one of the b-wings still having 3 shields, and in a better position to get a clear firing arc without having to pull a k turn.

Was really wanting to test out the Blue Squadron vs. the 8 Tie/ln swarm, but I was thinking that this game was really one sided, but the way that the pilots skills lined out let me kill of eyes without letting them shoot back.

You really need Pictures for a thread like this.
