A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.

That pilot is really awesome. This just fills me with hope for Rebel Veterans.

Question, do we have enough Imperial pilots yet to do an all-female list? Howlrunner? Juno Eclipse? Countess Ryad? Whisper?

Ryad/Whisper/Echo.

Heck, Whisper/Echo/Howl.

Both Phantom pilots are canonically female I think and between them are 80 points.

Yup. probably a bit dear, but that's a MASSIVE amount of flexibility in terms of where you can end up. and how you can avoid being blocked.

So I got my first couple of games in this weekend and I'm loving hooked. May have also conned a friend into buying some stuff after playing with him. I'm really bad at the game, but hopefully that will change over time. I convinced my wife to give it a shot last night, and I flew straight through an asteroid with Soontir on turn 2 and he was blown to smithereens shortly after. He never even got to do a thing.

I'm leaning towards preferring the Rebels, but I'm also probably really bad at building squads. Anyone have any recommendations for each side based on what I own:

  • 1 of each core set
  • X-Wing
  • Y-Wing
  • A-Wing
  • Falcon
  • TIE Fighter
  • TIE Advanced
  • TIE Interceptor
  • TIE Bomber
  • Imperial Aces
  • Rebel Aces

I've got my eyes on a few things, but I have no idea what I want to buy next. I probably went too crazy off the bat.

They don't like the flow of Poe repaints which admittedly all look the same. It's weird to me cuz there's so much posting that happens there that I turned off the posts from appearing on my feed. I guess it's annoying for people who choose to leave them on and see the Poe repaints throughout the day.

Yeah. I mean I like the well done ones but there's a lot of THIN YOUR PAINTS!! ones too. Everyone's gonna start from somewhere but I agree with you on that's prob what's gonna happen. I had a prototype A-wing that I practiced some weathering on when I was coming back to painting that people used to think was the official rebel aces one before it came out. :lol: I still use it for Poe/Corran/A cuz the paint jobs give me good luck and many kills.

That sounds like a fit for Obi-Wan's R4-P17 from Ep.2 and 3, although prequel stuff is maybe verboten.

Second place guy at Chicago regionals posted a trip report on Reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/XWingTMG/comments/4ge01t/my_run_at_the_chicago_regional/

He ran the following list:
Jake Farrell w/ PTL, VI, Autothrusters, Title, Proton Rockets
Poe Dameron w/ VI, R5-P9, Autothrusters
Kyle Katarn w/ Autoblaster turret, Chewbacca, title, Adaptability

Winner ran a Howlrunner, Scourge, Mauler Mithel, and 3 Black Squadron TIE swarm, all with Crackshot. There's a video link of the final game in the guy's post.

He also reports that crack swarms walloped triple scout lists. The meta changes, but swarms will always be a strong archetype
