The ClusterFuck (tm): (it should be noted that I S-Looped with the far left IG right behind all his X-Wings...and right onto an asteroid)

If I were the X-Wing player, I would have gone 1 forward with the bottom X-wing (the one separate from the others), then K-turned two in the middle. The topmost one would have been a k-turn or a 2 turn towards the middle finger rock.

This would ensure I had guns on target and could probably cause some bumps. Especially for the iggy on the right; he's stressed and there's no possible move that would get him shots on the k-turned X-wings; if he tried to turn in, he'd bump and probably land on the rock.

This all assumes that the bottom x-wing is lower pilot skill than the others; it's hard to see.

p sure you would have to k-turn the topmost, a 1-straight from bottom means that if topmost does a left 2-turn, he bumps, at least the way it looks to me.

Well a bump wouldn't be the end of the world, since you wouldn't get an action from a k-turn either. And you'd further clog the lane for the IGs, potentially preventing one or both from clearing the guy who did a 1-forward. And you might just end up with a R1 shot on the right IG :)

Still, I think that's a judgement call.

If I were the IG player, I'd turn the right-hand IG out of the fight with a 3-bank to the right (unless that'd put me on a rock, hard to tell from the angle) to clear stress and focus. Left IG I'd just advanced sensors a focus, turn towards the bottom, bump into something, and shoot Biggs.

It's T-65 vs. HWK.

And which is worse, StarViper or M3-A? I think StarViper might be slightly better because of Guri, so I think I'm going to vote M3-A. I also wanted to vote HWK, but I went with X-wing because seeing people do cool things with regular X-wings is kind of fun, considering how badly they get outclassed by other lists all the time.

Yeah but if you vote X Wing you're gonna get Biggs or Wedge. Vote Starviper and you get Guri for sure.

Very close to what I did with the x-wings, but I was afraid that the slight angle would cause the two 4-Ks to bump into each other. So I turned one of those x-wings instead, and to make room I banked the bottom x-wing instead of doing a 1-forward.

Nothing bumped. Everything went off in different directions though, which is not ideal.

I still went for StarViper, even knowing that it'd be Guri because I like her and want to see good lists people come up with that include her.

Voted HWK for Rebels because I know it'd just be Biggs otherwise

Looks like our local store broke the street date. Nice little set, no surprises really. The bundled mission looks fun - A Rebel squaddron with a stolen Defender being hunted down by an Imperial squadron.

Nah Wes.

No matter what happens with Scum it's gonna be JM/JM/thing, and the StarViper is probably a more awkward thing to fit in, but the HWK is more interesting.

So I have a tournament tomorrow and I'm debating what list I want to bring.

Any builds floating around with Nera that work well?

Biggs is good because is her boyfriend (thanks wookiepedia) and he lets her survive long enough to actually use both her torpedos. You mostly just want her with someone that can keep her alive IMHO.

Nera with Protons and FCS is 35 so with Poe and Biggs (Poe being my answer to what to put in a list) that's two points left. No idea what to do with them beyond putting Weapons Guidance on Poe for the Hail Mary. Alternatively Warhog Horton cost the same as Proton Nera and I love how consistent his damage is. Well at least no matter what it looks like I'll be using Biggs.

Gets you Nera with Biggs and Horton, and gives Horton Draw Their Fire to keep Biggs up a little longer. Probably dumb.
