I need a token to remind me whether Turr Phennir used his real action to boost or barrel roll when his post attack action comes around.

HiveCommander posted:Keep in mind that two years and 12 new ships later, the TIE swarm is still a top-tier list so 'new hotness' isn't a requirement to win. The fact that there won't be any 11 point ships was the best news from that interview with the designers, but my favorite part was the comment that the TIE swarm is the shark of X-Wing: it doesn't need to evolve.

You don't really need to look too hard into missiles and torpedoes; they have a really hard time pulling their weight. Ion cannons and Heavy Laser cannons and be pretty good, but even without them the B-Wing is a monster.

Chill la Chill posted:. The rule of 11 is that in order to get within range 3, the sum of the movement of both sides needs to be at least 11, if the ships are at the forward most edge of the deployment zone and directly opposite one another. If both sides open with forward 4, the total distance moved is 10 (4 from the template + 1 from the base = 5, times two) and the ships won't be able to shoot. So, if nobody does a 5 forward (or a 4 forward with a large ship, or boost/barrel roll shenanigans), you know nothing is going to happen in the first round. The practical use of the rule is for trying to get your ordnance off while your opponent's primary weapons are granting you an extra green die, or preventing your torpedo laden opponents from getting that advantage.

Apparently it's just a bad idea to use Determination to fill in that one last point in introductory games. "So I would have been better off it that was just a regular hit? That's bad game design." I eventually lost pretty soundly, though, so the game left a pretty positive impression in the end.

The issue with 4xRGP is buying a second Imperial Aces when you bought 4xInterceptors before you knew that Aces was going to be a thing. Even though it's your favorite Star Wars ship ever, it's hard to justify owning 8.

Sigma-X posted:Mara Jade on the Kenkirk Dauntless, along with Engine upgrade to slam into dudes more readily and get bonus actions off the slam is pretty legit. With Mara Jade when you run into guys your stress is going to lock them out of whatever manuevers they need to not hit you again while shooting. You can't boost to slam into dudes; a boost has to be unobstructed. You can make a Daredevil turn to run into someone, but it gives you a stress so you can't use your free Dauntless action.

It could never be a legitimate strategy, since your opponent literally gets to force you to make the worst possible non-red move. Edit: Strobe posted:If you reveal a red manager with a stress, your opponent gets to choose another (non-red, non-board-leaving) maneuver. Green maneuvers chosen in this way do not clear stress. I'm not seeing a restriction that the chosen maneuver keep the ship in play or that prevents it from clearing stress. Poopy Palpy fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Sep 9, 2014 |

At least "Fat Han" is more descriptive than "Han Shoots First", which from what I can tell is used to describe any list that includes Han. My personal HSF list has Roark raising Tarn Mison's pilot skill to 12 so that Han doesn't shoot first. I call it "Special Edition". It is not a Fat Han list because Han's only upgrade is a Gunner.

Lemon Curdistan posted:Han Shoots First is Han + Veteran Instincts which puts him at PS11, which is better than any Phantom could be, so he gets to shoot before they recloak. HSF was a thing way before Phantoms, back when VI was a novelty you might throw on Turr so that all your ships were PS9 but pretty much a waste of an EPT slot.

Ballpoint Penguin posted:What's the general consensus about the Jan Ors co-pilot ability. Can she convert a focus token into an evade token on the ship she's in? The card says "a friendly ship within range 1-3" not "another friendly ship". Which raises a bigger question, is a ship considered "within range 1" of itself? There are no cards that say "within range x". Within means "entirely within" and is only used in setup when your ships must be entirely within range one of your edge (or touching the edge) No ship could be considered within range x of itself, since ranges start at the ship's edge. I was thinking maybe the movement guides might allow a ship to be at range 1 of itself, but they only count for overlapping, never range.

Len posted:How enjoyable would this game be just out of the box? I've had my eye on it for awhile and I'm thinking about picking it up this weekend but don't know when I'll get around to grabbing more models than what's already in the box. Basically will it have a dozen or so games of fun right out of the box? Probably not. There's only so much you can do with one X-Wing and two TIEs. And a bunch of those things, like putting R2-D2 on Luke, are going to lead to crappy games.

Lemon Curdistan posted:Interceptors are pretty seriously over-costed (Soontir Fel is nice, but he's exceedingly fragile and very expensive and strictly worse than Tycho) Fel is not strictly worse than Tycho. His 3 attack dice are better than Tycho's 2 and his 9 pilot skill can generally be regarded as an improvement. He gives up barrel rolls and a second mod slot for target locks and a second EPT, not to mention that their pilot skills are pretty different. It's possible that his lower cost, extra hit point, and that green 5 straight are generally worth what he gives up, but "strictly worse" means a very specific thing.

Strobe posted:Don't think so. When a card says "firing arc" it explicitly means your front firing arc, or else Falcons would never use anything else ever. The YT-1300 has a single firing arc and a turret primary weapon which can ignore the firing arc. The Firespray has primary and auxiliary firing arcs. Both are firing arcs for all purposes, though secondary weapons must use the primary firing arc unless they say otherwise.
