More X-Wing, PI League

Got a few games of X-Wing in yesterday with Jeremy and Vick. Also managed to pick up some loot for the PI League. Thanks Dale! 

Flew the Whisper's Academy: 
"Whisper" — TIE Phantom 32
Veteran Instincts 1
Fire-Control System 2
Advanced Cloaking Device 4 

Academy Pilot — TIE Fighter 12 
Academy Pilot — TIE Fighter 12 
Academy Pilot — TIE Fighter 12 
Academy Pilot — TIE Fighter 12 
Academy Pilot — TIE Fighter 12 

My list was meant to take on lists like this which had Biggs and Chewie. Unfortunately I flew like a muppet and lost this game





I modified my list a little with Vick's help and came up with this:
Howl to boost the Academies at the expense of one ship. I loaded Whisper up with a Navigator to make him less predictable.

Vick brought his very agile Soontir+Echo list. Beat me to a pulp

Vick boxed me in and finished the Phantom with VaDER

We reset and went at it again but I lost again. Shuttle Vadered me to death. 

Vick suggested we swapped lists and play. All of a sudden things started working. It was a good game and I promptly won
Vick showed me one thing. You play the Academies, you better play them confidently. Be brazen and take those 4 and 5 straights. Get in their face and block paths. Be flexible and break formation. 

It's odd. I thought I had command of this list but today thought me otherwise. More practice for sure.
