That's alright, considering it can SLAM.

That is a very unusual dial, but no reds on turn isn't too bad considering it is meant to be an heavy bomber.

Welp. Guess I'm sticking to dashing Corran cuz that dial is p much what dash is reduced to anyway. I'll still try a K Han build at some point.

Starviper for sure. It is a fun ship with Guri or Price Xixor.

I actually like the K-Wing dial considering I tend to fly tight and slow, and SLAM more than makes up for the lack of speed.

Y-Wings and Z-95's are excellent, as is the Aggressor. I'd actually argue they're better than the Firespray, but personal preference weighs in heavily there.

Spoilers are up for the other cards. Another 1 point single use EPT in Crack Shot, bleh. VI to remain the king of cheap EPTs for another wave I guess. Ion projector is not amazing, but could actually be useful on Dash, maybe.

Quick question: taking the kiddo to get the Millennium Falcon this weekend and want to get something for the Imperials to balance out. All we have is the starter set. Any suggestions?

On my phone, so I can't really link easily. They're on Reddit in the X-Wing sub. Crack shot is the EPT, discard to cancel an evade result. Ion projector works like the APLs, except you take an ion on a hit or crit instead of 1 damage. Edit: new YV pilot lets you use cannons in the auxiliary arcs, Firespray's be jealous. The homing missile is range 2 only, 3 points, but deals a faceup card if it hits, then cancel results. 3 attack dice. Doesn't avoid evades or anything like the other homing missile.

I simply meant the Firespray is by far the most iconic scum ship. If you buy one scum ship, you buy the Firespray. Unless you're some kind of soulless robot who didn't love Boba Fett as a kid.

The direct counterpart to the Falcon would be the Slave 1/Firespray for the Imperials. However if you all have is the core set I would advise against making those two ships your next purchase. Having no options but Falcon + x-wing and Firespray + two ties is gonna get repetitive real fast. You can get two fighters for the same price and adding say an A-wing and B-wing or an Interceptor and a Bomber will add a lot more options to the game comparatively.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try a Biggs + Jake + Farlander list and see how it goes at gaming club next week.  Edit: any solutions/ideas for transport? I get the feeling keeping everything in the boxes is not going to be a viable solution for long. Double edit: never mind, this works! https://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1420346/star-wars-x-wing-miniatures-game The Deleter fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jul 30, 2015 |

I went ahead and ordered a B wing and a Tie Interceptor. I'll still let him get the Falcon, and I can add another Imperial while we're at the store. Evidently he and my wife have been having some pretty competitive games while I'm at work; I get texts during the day and a full battle report when I get home

So I just picked up a pair of K-Wings, and is it just me or is the Twin-Laser Turret kinda ridiculous? Am I reading it wrong, or does it really let you roll six shots that can't be evaded? Because if so, I'm gonna start fielding four Gold Squadron pilots with TLTs and laughing maniacally.

No where on that card says anything about no evading. In addition, if it hits, do one damage and cancel all dice. So at best, 2 damage.

This may be because I haven't played in a while and I can't remember the specific terminology. I'm reading "Each time this attack hits" as "Each time you roll a hit result", but obviously I'm probably wrong.

An attack is considered hitting when at least one uncancelled hit remains after an attack is performed. It's a true/false statement, opposite of missing.

So, is the card absolutely terrible then? For only doing two damage max that can't crit. six points seems pretty steep.

Nope, 2 reliable damage is actually p cool and ifs mostly so you can strip off tokens from the target. Imagine getting rid of soontir's evade and/or focus token before the rest of your team hits.

You get to roll a lot of dice, so it's more likely that you'll get some damage throughput that a regular 2-die attack. (which seems weird, but they need a new mechanic for novelty's sake, I guess)

If only the BLT title said "after you perform an attack with a secondary turret weapon immediately perform a primary weapon attack" instead of the other way around.

 I bought another Firespray, and wanted to differentiate them a little bit from each other. Dual Firespray lists are a ton of fun. I took this to my FLGS last night. Boba Fett (Scum) (39) Predator (3) Heavy Laser Cannon (7) K4 Security Droid (3) Slave I (0) Kath Scarlet (Scum) (38) Predator (3) "Mangler" Cannon (4) Recon Specialist (3) Total: 100

If you miss with Flechette Torpedoes, and save it with Munition's Failsafe or something, does the target still gain the stress token?

Yes. Flechette Torpedoes do not specify that the attack needs to hit, and Munitions Failsafe doesn't cancel the attack, it just cancels the discarding of the card.

I've got a list i'm planning to give a go: Kath Scarlet (53) Firespray-31 (38), Veteran Instincts (1), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), K4 Security Droid (3), Engine Upgrade (4) Palob Godalhi (30) HWK-290 (20), Blaster Turret (4), K4 Security Droid (3), Moldy Crow (3) N’Dru Suhlak (17)

I faced almost that list in one of my tourneys except that kath dropped the HLC (with the rear firing arc bonus you don't really need it) and had opportunist. I think the list also had 2 (or 3, I can't remember) Zs as well.

I like the buttcannon but I think the HLC gives you a lot more flexibility in your moves, though obviously not taking the HLC will definitely let you get a second Z. I think opportunist probably goes better on Palob anyway.

IIRC both Palob and Kath had opportunist. It works well because you can almost always clear the stress with a green, that you want to do anyway thanks to the security droid.
