I bought a bunch of these off ebay, they're a few bucks cheaper and work well.

Just put all your cards into the prize boxes from earlier seasons. The only cards worth sleeving up are alt arts anyway.

They look small enough that I can throw it in my plano box. I don't want full 3 ring binder pages, I have a big 'ol Plano box but it still won't fit a full 3 ring binder.

I have a large battle foam (don't buy them plz, their owner sucks) bag I got from regionals earlier this year but don't use it at all except to store my extra models. I only ever uses tournament-ready kits inside L5R tins that are about the size of a lunch box. The moment I can find a tiny tin that holds these cards it'll be perfect. For now I just jam useful ones into the millennium falcon (of course) prize box and carry that with the lunch box.

I've been buying gum and candy that comes with plastic containers in the hopes that one will be useful for exactly this purpose. So far I haven't found a perfect one yet but I now have plenty of containers that can be used for tokens or other board games and can have cool stickers applied to them after you remove the plastic wraps. I've been getting the "ugly" star stickers my little cousins don't want.

Therein lies the problem. I love sleeves. I've been looking for a box for the damage deck specifically since right now my current system is to keep them in one of the larger plastic bags where they fit snugly and use it until it rips, then use another one.

I'm in the same boat of wanting a good sleeved damage deck container. I sprung for a preorder on one of those Ultimate Guard folios for the upgrades, but it seems like the only option for an actual deck holder are a bunch of made to order 3D printed stuff that's way overpriced. I'm fine paying twenty plus bucks for a nice zippered case that'll hold hundreds of upgrades, but not so much with paying the same price for a little plastic widget.

Oh neat. Might use it. Never liked those types of "self-locking" deckboxes since the plastic warps over usage and aren't as good as magnetic clasps or even the velcro ones.

It says right in the goddamn ad how many cards it holds: 60, 75, 100 and it includes one divider.

I was being facetious, it should be great for holding both, doubly great since you can choose which you want to use.

Can a ship fire if it has no enemies in arc? Specifically, can a TIE Phantom get Advanced Cloaking Device to activate if it has nothing in arc to shoot at?

Thought not. I did substantially less well against a PTL boost barrel rolling Dash than I thought, then.

Also

Is there a trick to getting snapped-off pegs out, I'm having no luck at all.

E: turns out the little post bit had snapped off itself so no wonder it was difficult. I dug it out and it turns out the ship has a hole in the bottom the same size as the top of the post anyway, so I think I'm OK as long as it's the right way round.

Quick question. If a ship starts on an asteroid, does it suffer the effects of moving through an asteroid again on its turn?

Only if the guides of the ship travel through that asteroid or if it's forced to land on an asteroid by some means.

Possibly. If there's more asteroid in front of where you stop, so that your template overlaps it again, then yes.

Well, I have no idea how effective this would be, buuuuut:

Kath Scarlet
-Push the Limit
-Engine Upgrade
-Recon Specialist

Latts Razzi
-K4 Security Droid
-Weapons Engineer
-Hound's Tooth

That comes out to 93 points which gives you some flexibility as far as finishing touches go...maybe a Heavy Laser Cannon on Kath to give her some added punch, or maybe a Mangler and a Proximity Mine, or you could give the Hound's Tooth an Engine Upgrade of its own and a Hot Shot Blaster, etc. It's a pretty simple premise on paper, Latts paints targets and then Kath shoots them, flipping one of Latts' target locks to give her the Wedge effect whenever possible. Catch someone with the rear arc for extra fun. Kath can do a green maneuver for a free target lock of her own, PtL to double focus + boost, then rinse repeat.

poo poo, I might try this.

Just wanted to say that this is the second of your builds that I've stolen. I'm still new to the game, and haven't had the time or knowledge to put together my own squads. The squads you post are very synergistic and cool.

Is there an official full-size damage deck or am I going to have to get a print shop to do one up for me? (Yeah, yeah, it wouldn't be legal in tournaments, but making myself comfortable at home might be worth it anyway.)

Yeah I hosed that up, in my defense it was like 3:00 in the morning and I was thinking about both choices. For PtL Kath I'd go K4 and ditch the Recon Spec and double focus.

On the topic of x-wing supremacy:

How feasible would it be to convert X-wings to have their wings closed, and then use as z-95 proxies? It would just feel right, you know, to have the t65 be a more common (if not the most common) rebel ship, even if it means that now non-aces are even more pathetic compared to Wedge et al.

I imagine it would be pretty easy with some clippers or a jeweller's saw and a bit of pinning.

The trick would be to avoid snapping the AMAZINGLY spindly guns. I'm seriously considering replacing mine with brass rod.

Why not just proxy them as is, and paint them a different color to distinguish them from any other T-65s you might run?
