So, I managed to find a Scourge card for my Crazy Eights list. Crazy Eights (100) "Scourge" (18) - TIE Fighter Adaptability (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) The Inquisitor (31) - TIE Adv. Prototype Push The Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2) "Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter Juke (2), Comm Relay (3) "Pure Sabacc" (25) - TIE Striker Veteran Instincts (1), Adaptive Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2) I flew against the bomber list I posted here previously, but he subbed out Rex for Ahsoka. I dissected it thoroughly, only taking 2 damage from bombs and not losing a single ship (although 2 were on the verge of death). Using Sabaac and Inq as flankers sealed the deal, while OL and Scourge served as bait (and took the 2 damage from a bomb). This is my favorite list to run right now, but I may drop someone to bring in Duchess (only because I like the Strikers  )

Just played a 2 ship, 75 point bracket with some friends, and holy poo poo, stealth Corran wiped the floor. Push the limit with an evade and a focus, with the Jan on the auzi swapping the focus for an evade, and Lowhhrick dropping another on him if needed gives 3 evades and 4 agility die. Only damage he took was from a harpoon explosions. Corran Horn E-Wing 35 Push the Limit 3 Fire-Control System 2 R7 Astromech 2 Stealth Device 3 Ship Total: 45 Lowhhrick Auzituck Gunship 28 Jan Ors 2 Ship Total: 30

Carry on. EDIT: Does that also proc with Lowhhrick? Then I assume, even with an evade token, would I be able to use Lowhhrick's "Evade Result?"

Even without Jan Ors that's one super tanky Corran. Focus + Evade + Low spends reinforce is a shitload of damage mitigation. (Yes, you can spend Low's reinforce in addition to the evade token) If I were to re-make that Corran + Low list, it would look like this: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v4!s!75:18,36,-1,3:-1:-1:;251:235,201,251:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs= I would not want to run into that with a 2-ship, 75-point list. If you focus on Low, he's going to take forever to kill. If you focus on Corran, he'll take forever to kill, and Low can just absorb a big shot if you get lucky. Gross.

I'm still a huge fan for R7 Astro for a one on one, I got a lot more use from it making my enemy reroll their hits and avoiding with stealth device than when I usually fly with R2 and a different mod. I'm thinking maybe something like this for my next 75 game: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v4!s!75:18,36,-1,59:-1:1:;275:18,29,206:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs= With Fenn Rau and M9, I can really gently caress with both enemy ships rolls, with R7 on Corran, and still have Fenn PTL for a coordinate or something else.... Plus with Corrans double tap on the joust, and Fenn taking a green to burn the stress and butt-shooting on the next turn to cover, it'd be a fun joust at least.

Jake was great with PtL and is even better with Intensity, since he gets two focus tokens, a boost and a barrel roll every turn. Unless he needs both focuses.

I'm told he was pretty new to the game and didn't even notice what he had done. I'm very surprised someone would take a list to a Regional without at least a cursory glance from another player.

A friend of mine put together a list for his son to play at the Hoth open. It's a Chewie/Lando 2 Falcon list. I got sad just seeing it. It will be good for him, since there's not a lot too it, but holy poo poo is it going to be a slog to fly against.

Speaking of stress. My Nym/Jostero/Torani list is running at 99pts. I have been debating the merits of swapping the Seismic Charges for Thermal Dets for the stress or maybe Bomblet gen. On one hand 99 is nice if I come against a 100pt list with a PS10 on the other hand stress or unlimited bombs is good too. Any opinions? Captain Jostero (24) Deadeye (1) Harpoon Missiles (4) Contraband Cybernetics (1) Munitions Failsafe (1) Guidance Chips (0) Vaksai (0) Captain Nym (Scum) (30) Veteran Instincts (1) Extra Munitions (2) Harpoon Missiles (4) Seismic Charges (2) Trajectory Simulator (1) "Genius" (0) Guidance Chips (0) Havoc (0) Torani Kulda (27) Veteran Instincts (1) Harpoon Missiles (4) R5-TK (0) Long-Range Scanners (0) Total: 99 View in Yet Another Squad Builder

Self quoting, I just had a hoot of a game vs 3 x7 defenders (Ryad with PTL, Vess with Swarm Leader, and a naked Delta) When those defenders are doing 3+ speed maneuvers, pinning them down is a lot easier. Lost 4 shields on a Lothal Rebel and got 2 deep into hull on the bomber in exchange for the entire list

X7s as an entire list just feels like it flies around to not shoot and not take damage. TIE/D with Ion cannons and snap shot have been my jam lately.

Went 3-1 with Incredible Bulk tonight, and I feel like the bomber was dead weight in every game. I want something that can throw more than 2 dice at a time. A baby wookiee with tactician and rey is the same price, and I feel would have done far more good.

Double stress a couple ships and it has paid for itself. However, the bomber leading the charge and sucking up most of the harpoons works pretty well. Still 3-1 for what started out a joke list isn't too shabby.
