Ok that makes sense. I forgot you're allowed to lock friendly ships.

Yeah that's a weirdly deep cut. Kinda cool! A lot more Corran-ish than 'he can shoot twice I guess'.

Interesting collection of new stuff. Curious to see what falcon Poe does. Hoping its something cool and different from his current abilities. Wish there was a new FO Tie/ba pilot instead of even more reg ties that the faction is already drowning in.

I'll once again futilely maintain that Juno Eclipse should have been in a TIE bomber, not an X1.

They should have just brought the Rogue Shadow into the game. Could even have Juno (Empire) and Juno (Rebel) pilots.

banned from Starbucks posted:Anyone play Battle of Yavin yet? We had a mini-store event on Saturday and had 4 games going. I don't think Rebels won a single one. The rules make it pretty tough because the Imperials can clog up the trench and really slow the rebel advance along it. I think I could've won mine if the game went to 10 rounds because most of the Imperial ships were on their last legs, but I just couldn't get in range in time. The frustrating thing is there's no indication of where you're supposed to measure range to the exhaust port - center of port, edge of port, edge of tile. It was fun and I'd be interested to see if the balance shifts once rebel players get used to the scenario rules/conditions.

The port is an object. You treat it like any object. If any portion of it is in range, it’s all in range. Just like shooting DRK droids or whatever. If it doesn’t have special rules that say you must target the center, then you don’t have to target the center.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it would need 'explicit' rules. It's an object. The object rules are explicit.

Maybe I'm just an idiot but it felt counter-inuitive to have a nicely-rendered game piece in a scenario that's all about hitting the exhaust port and then you don't actually need range on the representation of the port itself. It felt like a "It just impacted on the surface" thing. But like I said, we played it correctly so it doesn't really matter, and I wouldn't want to make things harder for rebels anyway.

This battle of Yavin pack is really cool but I have no idea what sleeves to get for the loadout cards. FFG used to print that on the box edit: never mind, its the old FFG tarot sleeves. I still have some lying around

Tycho is the same and still great, Keo seems unpredictable and fun, and Corran's ability is basically how Rogue Squadron fought Lusankya in Bacta War. And range 3 jam is nice too.

As some of y'all remember, my 1.0 list from like the launch of wave 7 til the end was Luke Wes and Wedge, and I won tournaments with them. I beat triple toilet seats pre-nerfs with em edit: Here's the imp preview Three in three days? AMG is ginning up for something I think.

It was gimmicky as hell, and did terrible against the bomb spam and harpoon spam of the last of 1.0 but it was fun at least. In the early days of 2.0 I ran a successor in triple t70s. If Wes is priced at 4-5, I can fit another x in. If not, maybe a z-95, or a-wing. Will keep you updated.

The tail end of 1st ed had glorious XXX, expertise and integrated astromechs. It was a chainsaw of a list  I’ve got an XXXZ list now with Wedge, Luke, Thane and Cracken in a headhunter right now, so I’m hoping Wes will be a 5 to just swap in.

bunnyofdoom posted:NGL I laughed out loud when I read it. The fact the devs are acknowledging that some of the game is bad and they are actively trying to correct it makes me feel a little better about AMG having the game now. Let's see how it all works out One thing I've noticed about AMG is that they seem willing to make any sort of change. FFG kept to a very, very narrow approach. They iterated points and minor rules updates and that was it. From a game design perspective, this mean that FFG had relatively limited levers to pull. This meant that there were rarely major shakeups. That is fine, for a while, but it does lead to the game feeling same-y after a while. It's like, oh look, a new ship, I bet it has 2-3 red dice, 1-3 green dice, a dial similar to another ship, and 1-2 pilots who are good while the rest are binder fodder. FFG never wanted to errata things, ban things, or whatever. They just priced stuff into oblivion if it was problematic. AMG is willing to make both big sweeping changes and iterative FFG-style changes. The game has really settled from the 2.5 shakeup, and the last couple of updates have been FFG-style iterative approaches. I like that they're willing to do this.

Gonna say, the i3 unqiue is a bit of a non-starter really. Can cancel crits twice sure, but if you are taking two shots, you burned your calc. That Roiling Anger is clearly a dark-side patience and I love it. EDIT: AMG being too honest again here "his new upgrade lets you move through any obstacle, not just asteroids or debris clouds, without suffering their effects. It also works on electro-chaff clouds!"
