In Which I Earn My First Tournament Victory!

Sorry I haven't been updating a hole lot, folks...it was the end of the school term, I had lots of finals, issues with looking for new roommates, etc. I still took lots of photos of games, but I never found the time to post anything, and things just slipped my mind until recently. I'm on the SoCal X-wing Facebook page, and a conversation there necessitated me looking up some of my posted photos, reminding me of my lack of updates for over a month! I know there's not many of you who view this blog, but to those of you who do, sorry!

Anyways, on June 28, GMI hosted an escalation tournament, with the first-place prize being a CR-90 box! I ended up winning it, with Michael taking second. I almost went 4-0 as well, but Michael played very well and had a strong list, so even if I hadn't made the fatal mistake with an A-wing who's entire purpose was to assassinate Biggs, Howlrunner, or Jonus (whichever showed up in the round five game) with a homing missile, I still probably would have lost...or at the very least it would have been a very close game. It's hard to tell, since the mistake was kind of early on.

I promise to post more often. I really do enjoy sharing my games, even if they don't get many views. I've got a few backlogged games to post, hopefully those will be up shortly, and then I'll work on some new stuff.
