Rules question: can Han Solo re-roll Luke's additional attack? If so, can he still do it if he also re-rolled the normal attack (that presumably missed, triggering Luke)? And any idea when the reprints are coming? Stuff for this can't seem to be had locally at all, and online only if you're willing to accept some mean price gouging.

Sephyr posted:The people in my gaming club are about to join this game in force. I can't quite decide between making Empire or Alliance, though. I have played both and loved the maneuverability of the imperial ships. On the other hand, rebel ships have shields and seem able to take tons more upgrades. A combined A-wing and B-wing force must play so very cool... Accept no substitutes for agility.

I haven't played in a while, but watching that championship video made me was to return to the game. I'm curious though, any particular reason Assault Missiles never caught on? Seems like the natural answer to TIE swarms.

My store has a bunch of TIE Bombers and B-Wings in stock. Obviously the latter have uses, and I'm probably going to pick two up if I'm genuinely returning to the game, but what about the former?

Feels like I should wait for the upcoming releases before buying back in, because something like this just sounds dirty: 35 points Keyan Farlander Advanced Sensors, Push the Limit 31 points Ibtisam Advanced Sensors 17 points Bandit Squadron Pilot Assault Missiles 17 points Bandit Squadron Pilot Assault Missiles

Is it me, or does Wingman seem awesome? I get images of mad barrel rolling YT-1300s with Expert Handling and a Wingman supporting ship. Swear to god I'm getting back into this game when I finally get paid. e: I like theorycrafting and I was looking at how to minimize my financial investment for maximum fun on the table. I currently own the YT-1300, so I was thinking that I could just pick up the Rebel Aces pack when it's released and run this: 23 points Jake Farrell Chardaan Refit, Veteran Instincts 35 points Keyan Farlander Advanced Sensors, Push the Limit 42 points Chewbacca I was also thinking of picking up Imperial Aces so I'd have an imperial side, so that'd have PtL in it. Seem reasonable? Corbeau fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Mar 24, 2014 |

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:Also, are the A-Wings any good? They're probably my favorite ship.  I'm in the same boat. From what I've been reading though, 2 attack dice is a severe - almost crippling - drawback. TIE Swarm only gets away with it because TIE Fighters are dirt cheap and get buffed by Howlrunner. A-Wings qualify for neither of those.

When you could run a Z-95 plus missiles instead of an A-Wing, I'm not optimistic for the latter's chances.

zVxTeflon posted:They fill pretty different roles though so its entirely dependent on what you want your list to do. I suppose that's true. I can't help but feel like bringing some cheap assault missiles is just going to be fantastic against anything approximating a swarm, and the opportunity cost won't be that high.

Leo Showers posted:The only time I've seen Assault Missiles work as well as I wanted them to was when I took a TIE Bomber list and fired everything at a Falcon. The splash damage took both A-Wing escorts down to 1 hull, and was finished off by bombs. The difference is that they're cheap. An A-Wing with Assault Missiles costs at least 22 points; a Z-95 with Assault Missiles costs 17 and has a bonus piloting skill in the bargain. I don't know why I'm arguing though; I haven't played since Wave 1.  e: Wait. Stop. I just realized that with two elite piloting skills, you could run a pair of A-Wings with PtL plus Wingman. That would be hilarious. Corbeau fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Mar 26, 2014 |

Why the gently caress is Corran in an E-Wing?

I like X-Wing, but seriously... anything comes out looking good when you compare it to 40k.

Eventually we'll be able to game out the Redemption scenario.

I think the real bonus is that these guys have four attack dice. Four is a lot of attack dice to spit out at range.

Thankfully, buying everything in X-Wing costs absolutely nothing compared to anything in 40k.
