I headed up to Chico last weekend for a couple of games of X-Wing at Heroes Corner with my good friend Reno. There were four players, two Rebel, two Imperial, and I played both Imperial lists. I brought this:
I got to play Reno first, and he brought three TIE Advanced x1, with Darth Vader, Marek Stele, and Ved Foslo.

| Saw Gerrera was separated from his X-Wing escorts pretty early and was quickly shot down by a pair of TIEs. |
 |
| Skywalker and Tenza focused down Ved Foslo's TIE and there was quite a furball at close range, leaving a single survivor for each side. |
 |
| The game came down to Skywalker vs. Stele, and the Imperial fighter ended up with the win. |
A close game down to the end, but a beat-up Red 5 couldn't quite pull it out. Still looking for my first victory. Second game would be against Steven and a pair of Imperial heavies.
 |
| A heavily equipped Decimator and a supporting TIE Reaper quickly took down Skywalker, with lots of dice modification and automatic damage dealing. I almost took out the support ship, but couldn't quite get a kill. |
That Decimator had something like 17 Hull/Shield points, and could dish out 4-5 points each round. Just didn't have the firepower to even scratch it.
