Oh my god I just noticed that first Cutlass has Proton rockets. On a 1 agility ship. So it's throwing 3 dice at range 1. Just like if it shot its primary weapon. Gotta be a joke. No other explanation.

I think my favorite is now the K-Wings with dorsal turrets. You know. The turret that gives you a 2-dice attack. 3 at range 1.

Juke Vader or PTL x7 Ryad, if you don't go Whisper. Whisper hits hard but you need a plan for if you don't get initiative. You need it even if you have the bid. I highly recommend Kallus as your crew for the soft focus, then just Evade every turn something can shoot you before you're cloaked. I've also tested TIE/D Juke Vessery but holy poo poo is your whole list a glass cannon. You'll win or lose VERY quickly.

So there's a tournament next month at my FLGS that will be 2v2, 150 points for each side. My buddy and I are seriously considering rolling with 6 Blue Squadron T-70s. With IA that's 42 hit points to chew through on top of a 3 dice attack.

Actually got a match in at the store for my first run with FuckMan. I failed this great list, but that is why you practice. I played against a token tank ghost and a 2400 with mangler cannon. Zuck died first then manaroo then Fenn. I killed ghost and then had the 2400 down to hull. Things I did wrong 1. I let Fen be the bait and it worked, but when I turned in to attack I rushed it and ended up bumping Ghost. which put Fen out of position for 3 turns. I got too greedy trying to get to range 1. Otherwise Ghost would have died in turn 3. 2. I did not use Manaroo as a shield for Zuck if I had Zuck would have lived for at least 2 more rounds. 3. I focused on Ghost and instead I should have burnt down the 2400. This is kind of debatable since if ghost dying in round 3 would have won it for me anyway. 4. I need to learn to block with Manaroo. I did not get one proper block in the whole match. Things I did right 1. After Zuck died and I pulled my head out and used Manaroo to obstruct for Fen to get in range. It worked like a dream. 2. I have only been playing 2+ weeks and except for my screw up with Fen my maneuvering is much, much better. Sorry for the babbling, but just writing that out let's me see where I need to improve. If any of my ships had lived one more turn I would have won and that's due to this list being great. I just signed up for my first tourny in a month so I am going to run this list into the ground until I can play with it in my sleep. 5-1 isn't a bad start for a newbie player  Also canyoneer posted:Zuck my dice, you FennMan Raged fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jan 6, 2017 |

My Zennaroo lesson learned tonight is space out my rocks a bit more. I clumped them up and it was harder to draw them in after Manaroo. Also, caught the guy cheating twice by doing the slidey template maneuver with his shiny acrylic templates. Tried to pull the "fly casual" line on me and I told him it's pretty pathetic to cheat in a casual game. I still beat him pretty squarely. Had a bit of a scrum in the rocks and when everything broke out of the rocks, Ryad was caught at R1 of the whole list. Fenn stripped the tokens. Zuckuss dumped 5 hits on her, and Manaroo finished her off.

Decided to try something different from my mind link list so took the two arcs & biggs list, but replaced biggs with Jass Pava. Got two fairly solid wins - list might have legs but I think I might replace Draw their Fire on Jess with something else? • Norra Wexley ARC-170 R5-P9 Push the Limit Kyle Katarn Alliance Overhaul • Shara Bey ARC-170 R2-D2 Draw Their Fire Rey Alliance Overhaul • Jess Pava T-70 X-Wing R2-D6 Integrated Astromech Draw Their Fire dogsarentdangerous fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Jess can't use Draw Their Fire. She doesn't have an EPT slot. Without Biggs to keep the heat off the shockingly fragile ARCs you will have a hard time keeping them on the board long enough to get 'er dun.

Annoyingly, I also end up, about 50% of the time, having to explain how Manaroo gets another focus after she passes her focus to someone else. "Okay, let's read the cards together."

Finster Dexter posted:Has anyone flown Expertise Rey at all? I'm wondering if Expertise is the secret sauce Rey needs to bump her up to competitive. It partially solves her action economy problems. Keeps her offense high but doesn't really help defense. She still dies REALLY fast. I've always felt Rey died too easy for her points. I'm coming around to the idea of treating her kind of like a Party Bus where the goal should simply be "joust, and keep them in your arc as long as possible, then zoom around and come back". This would allow you to take the OG falcon title to take an evade every round. You could also switch Kanan for something like 3PO, vastly improving her survival. Roll a die, guess 0 to guarantee one evade. Add blank from Finn, re-roll the blank and the other die, if it wasn't an evade. You're quite likely to get one more evade out of this, and maybe two if both weren't evades before the re-roll. Spend evade token. Guaranteed 2 evades every round, with three likely, and potentially a total of four. Rey (45) Expertise (4) Finn (5) C-3PO (3) Burnout SLAM (1) Smuggling Compartment (0) Millennium Falcon (1) Total: 59 Burnout Slam would be really good for coming back for a second pass, and Rey is unlikely to die on the first pass against anything. Simply do any 3-something or a 4-straight into a K-turn. You'll almost certainly end up out of range to be shot, and your your arc will be once again pointed in the right direction. After all, how many passes do you actually need? And it's not like the falcon lacks maneuverability even without the sloop title. ConfusedUs fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Friction posted:The hell is this winning list. Z-95 and three G-1As ?! Yeah, that's legit. Attanni Mindlink is good and just gets better with more ships. The G-1A is basically a scum B-wing, but with an evade instead of barrel rolls. It's like a better BBBBZ list.
