Finster Dexter posted:Question on Zuckuss pilot... has anyone run the numbers on when you do/don't want to use the extra attack die? Just off the top of my head: red dice are better than green dice, so you always want to use the extra die if you a) have focus/TL and the target doesn't, b) you both have focus. You don't want to use the extra die if your target has focus but you don't.

Use 4-LOM crew with Zuckuss. Nothing like rolling 5 range 1 dice and not allowing them to use a focus.

He hits like a truck, and I've found just HAVING the tractor beam messes with people's minds a bit. This is the list I'm currently trying out: Contracted Scout (25) Deadeye (1) Proton Torpedoes (4) Extra Munitions (2) Boba Fett (1) Overclocked R4 (1) Feedback Array (2) Guidance Chips (0) Contracted Scout (25) Deadeye (1) Plasma Torpedoes (3) Extra Munitions (2) Overclocked R4 (1) Feedback Array (2) Guidance Chips (0) 4-LOM (27) Veteran Instincts (1) Zuckuss (1) Tractor Beam (1) Mist Hunter (0) Total: 100 However, I'm going to try this without Boba/Proton and upgrade to R4 Agromech.

It's stuff like this that makes me want to pick up a few K-Wings but I'd probably never get on this dude's level.

I have a dumb Poe/Nera list with 30 points free, I'm thinking of fitting two Z's in there, but I can fit two Bandits with AHM and now I kind of want to try that.

how evil is this combo? VI Wes +Corran with Juke. Think about it, a juke double tap? Wes strips the focus off, suddenly, you know you can cancel a green result each time( I know, stupid rear end gimmick)

Trip report, firing off AHM with Z's take's a lot of skill that I don't have.  I'd have done a lot better but Poe and Nera had two range one shots and could only roll one hit. So that was brutal. One z died with missiles still loaded. Thinking of doing some stupid things with this dumb list, either going to prockets, or dropping Autothrusters from Poe for Talas with either AHM or Prockets. Like Prockets aren't amazing, but they are Chimpable and you keep the focus.

I went 3-1 with XXX-stravangaza, all three wins were 100-0 blowouts.  I still missed "Best Rebel Pilot" by like 10 points of MOV though.  Also, I wanna try that K-wing list, but I only have two...

I just watched one of the worst choke jobs i've ever seen. Two brobots with plenty of health have Fel down to 1 HP, Jax dead, and the shuttle down to 5 HP. They proceed to lose the game through some bizarre maneuvers that give up shots for no positional advantage.

Tried rexler with dark curse, and two other names TIEs. Running stress and avoiding greens and K turns, I killed Wedge and Poe after some fancy rear end maneuvering, but finally died when I landed within half an inch of Luke facing head on. Regardless, your advice kept me alive longer than normal. I think I'm getting better.

Well i went 3W-3L for that regional. Got destroyed first round due to 4 direct hits on my falcon, one was counteracted by chewbacca, the other 3 and 2 basic damage destroyed him through bad luck. otherwise list i posted last page seemed to do ok, i just need to work on positioning. Also the guy who was running the brobots on stream is like 16 years old, good kid, just the pressure of being on cam seemed to mess him up and cause him to choke when he should have won.

Would running twin /D TIE Mk II deltas with tractor beams alongside a PTL X/7 TIE Mk II Ryad work with the fire arc fuckery? I'm thinking push the enemy into collision paths or get them in a combined fire arc to focus fire. It'd require near perfect formation movement, but just a dumb idea.

I've tried a lot of TIE/D. It might work with like a big swarm to hit after the tractor, but it feels gimmicky. TIE/x7 lets you fly like a lunatic and get free evades.

I ran this today. VT-49 Decimator: · Captain Oicunn (42) Intimidation (2) Extra Munitions (2) Conner Net (4) Anti Pursuit Laser (2) Tactician (2) · Rebel Captive (3) · Mara Jade (3) · Dauntless (2) TIE Fighter: Black Squadron Pilot (14) Crack Shot (1) Stealth Device (3) TIE Fighter: Black Squadron Pilot (14) Crack Shot (1) Stealth Device (3) Vs a buddy who was running some fett and bossak build. Lucky crits won me the game but drat is a ramming decimator fun. I wish more ships could ram. Give me a mod for the punisher for ramming.

I feel like the biggest issue with TIE/D is the same problem slapping a missile on an A Wing has. It's viable, but you need to have a real clear plan for it to justify not taking the discount the x7 gives you on top of the possible free evades.

X-Wing Miniatures Game - Complete Collection and X-Wing table (with Automated Movement) Those are the two main ones, I think. I just got the game myself yesterday and have yet to play a game. Right now I'm just noodling around with the UI and features. The auto-move dials seem finicky as hell and once they act up it's a big song and dance getting them back to working as they should.
