41 points is about right for an ARC and if you play that one right, Norra's really slippery.

I also haven't played with bombs in a while, and I have so many. My friend also plays lots of tiny interceptors with stealth upgrades, and they're just annoying. He builds well, but doesn't always do the best with flying, and I really just want to give him the worst time possible, with nonstop bombs and just poo poo on his day. https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f...20Boogaloo&obs= Thoughts? I usually fly formations and arc dodgers, so I'm not really used to bombs as much.

It's meant to be a casual retro tourney with more variety than an 'OT only' one. The problem is, these 'restrictions' still allow some top tier Imperial lists, while knee-capping their counters, and Rebels in general. ConfusedUs' analysis and Rebel list both look spot on. My original plan was to fly a Rebel regen list of Miranda, Luke and a Chopper y-wing, but I might take his suggestion. (Or switch to Vader, Inquisitor, Tomax; I don't have Quickdraw.)

I'm a really big fan of Pattern Analyzer on PTL Kylo. If you do a green move (of which he has TEN), you get to end with no stress. Move > Delay check stress > take action > PTL for another action, get stress > check stress > remove stress because you did a green.

I was going to suggest Advanced Sensors for the same reason, but yeah, PA is probably the better choice. Ending unstressed also lets you T-Roll whenever you want.

bunnyofdoom posted:I finally got a Silencer (Fuckign Asmodee) I really want to like Debris Gambit, but making it an action really takes it's usefulness away. Maybe double or triple the cost, then change it to 'after you execute your maneuver, gain one evade token, up to a maximum of two, for every obstacle within range one of you.' I think it's worded appropriately so that it doesn't trigger if you get ioned or tractored.

When 3 ships can launch bombs and they get fanned out.....it's not so easy to avoid them without your opponent knowing exactly where you will end up (which is not where the bombs are, which is why the bombs are there). It's area control to a pretty crazy degree. If your playing HP fortresses, yeah, you can joust it. Anything with even slightly lower hull can be in trouble. enigmahfc fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jan 5, 2018 |

In two, I misjudged advanced sensors reposition and move and clipped a rock to lose Kylo's last HP with less than 5 minutes left on the clock In the other I planned a move that required adv sensors reposition, and forgot I was stressed (because I'm never stressed). End result put me at range 1 of two enemy ships without a focus

Going to try this at my FLGS mini tournament because I feel it’ll just be fun to hit the low AGL ships that are common in the meta there. Funboats (97) Rho Squadron Veteran (29) - Alpha-class Star Wing Trick Shot (0), XG-1 Assault Configuration (1), Advanced SLAM (2), Linked Battery (2), Ion Cannon (3) Rho Squadron Veteran (27) - Alpha-class Star Wing Trick Shot (0), XG-1 Assault Configuration (1), Advanced SLAM (2), Linked Battery (2), Tractor Beam (1) •Test Pilot "Blackout" (41) - TIE Silencer Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Sensors (3), Pattern Analyzer (2), •First Order Vanguard (2), Autothrusters (2) I’ll have debris as my obstacles to make it easier to use Blackouts ability and the trick shots.

That was literally the only turn I could have used Primed Thrusters, but used either Adv Sensors or PA on literally every other turn of the tournament. Ending a move with no stress regardless of when you do your two actions is really good.

bunnyofdoom posted:If you have PTL and primed thrusters, cna you use them? I don't have the cards in front of me currently, but can you boost barrel roll with one stress? Primed Thrusters says: Stress Tokens do not prevent you from performing boost or barrel roll actions unless you have 3 or more stress tokens. Now, with PTL, you take an action, push the limit, take a second action, then take a stress; so assuming you're unstressed, you can already boost, PTL, barrel roll, take a stress, then presumably do a green next turn to clear the stress. This lets you have a stress, boost/BR, PTL, BR/Boost, and gain a second stress. And possibly even do it again next turn, but then you're really stressed. Like, Friday afternoon before vacation and something blows up at work that only you can fix stressed.

Won a store championship a few weeks back with this list: Lowhhrick (28) Trick Shot (0) Wookiee Commandos (1) Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) (20) Adaptability (0) Sabine Wren (2) Flight-Assist Astromech (1) Captain Nym (Rebel) (30) Veteran Instincts (1) Autoblaster Turret (2) Extra Munitions (2) Harpoon Missiles (4) Bomblet Generator (3) Trajectory Simulator (1) "Genius" (0) Engine Upgrade (4) Havoc (0) Total: 99 The plan is to use Fenn to reposition Nym before he moves by either giving him a boost or a barrel roll, allowing him to line up his bomb launcher. Worked really well, many were caught of guard by the sheer range of places I could launch them, and if I didn't hit any, I'd just hold the bomb, making the next round even worse. I wasn't afraid of using Genius either. As Nym was usually the first to die, I tried to get off both shots before he died. With a rear arc, cool ability and the new astromech, Fenn was a surprisingly decent closer, especially if Lowhrick was still around to do some area control. Fun list. Would fly again.

Man the level of flying in Queensland was head and shoulders above Chicago. Very concentrated talent up there. I'm sure Chicago will improve post cut. Did anyone see the Facebook post about a Chicago judge ruling that Genius and trajectory simulator can't be used together. A bad call that probably cost the match (assuming the nym double proton build)
