I'm thinking about taking a XXX list next tournament, how does it look?


Wedge Antilles [Guidance Chips, Adaptability, Proton Torpedoes, R5-K6] (35)

Luke Skywalker [Guidance Chips, Lone Wolf, Proton Torpedoes, R2-D2] (38)

Biggs Darklighter [Integrated Astromech, Veteran Instincts, R2-D6] (27)


The idea is to have Wedge and Biggs together while Luke does his thing.

Wedge also really wants Predator, like, a lot. My suggestion would be to drop the EPT-bot from Biggs and give him like a generic R5 if you don't have R4-D6, then drop the astromech from Wedge entirely and give him Predator. Luke looks fine as he is.
I do have R4-D6 and I'm going to do that. Thanks.

Strobe posted:

My suggestion is a straight swap between Proton Torpedoes and R2-D2 on Luke, with the appropriate change from Guidance Chips to Integrated Astromech.
I only have one Integrated Astromech :saddowns:

Hey so uh, even with my small collection I'm running into storage and transportation issues. I've managed to get everything mostly secured in the two core boxes. (Basically only my Bwing is out and I'm praying its cannons are tough til I find a solution.) I have a Feldherr case for most of my Armada stuff, but that's not really scalable. Are Plano cases still recommended? And would I just get them at a hardware store or something?
I use this one:

One side for Rebels, the other for Empire. It fits mostly every ship with cards except the huge ones... and the Ghost... and I don't have the Decimator either.

Mine? Talas finally put an end to the reign of terror of AAAY, with some pretty comically unlikely things happening all game.

Stresshog shoots primary range 3 on omega leader and gets one damage through (one stopped by palps), then lands two more damage through with the tlt
Jake shoots focus/TL prockets at a bumped inquisitor and does 0 damage.

Pretty fun/ny game, I forgot to take screenshots because I'm a bad person™
Not to mention that moment were seven ships were stressed or those full blanks with four green dice...

Until I can get this fixed, I am gonna have to drop from the league. Sorry to everyone for not being able to complete our games, right now TTS looks like a slideshow at the best of times. Hopefully I can get this fixed by the next league.

Overdesigned and Strobe, I have all the stuff set up already to stream if you're interested.

Overdesigned, Strobe, and Talas: I have the alt art Maarek Stele's from the 2016 Stele Open I promised to the winners of each pool like 230948 years ago. Just need an address to send them to! Alternatively, I can send them all to Strobe and he can mail them out, if you don't want to trust some shady guy on SA with a mailing address.

Talas and Strobe: Let me know when you guys want to play. Generally Thursday-Sunday EST evening is best for me.
I'm free this Thursday around 6pm CST, Brunas.

My email is jjtalas(a)gmail.com. I'm kind of worried since I live in Mexico and our postal service is absolute poo poo, but maybe we can find some arrangement. Thank you!

I'll send out contact info for the promos tonight - for serious this time.

And mr chill, let me know if you want the details for swg private servers. Didn't want to post it on FB, just forgot that Talonbane was such a scrubby midboss and had to share.

That would be good since I'm currently in the US until next monday.

That Bernie Sanders* list is annoying as hell. I don't think I have ever seen it flat out win or lose; it just goes to time almost every round. I mean, if someone jousts it, yeah, their probably going to lose becaue of so many red dice. But no one does that...right?

*I hate the name Fair Ship Rebels, it makes no sense. I always call it Bernie Sanders because 1) It redistributes everything, and 2) people REALLY into 'proper' naming of lists can't handle it when you use the 'wrong' name.
According to the official forums, the four TIE Bombers list with Unguided and Seismics won against that list at least twice.

I'm thinking about taking two of this lists to my first Hangar Bay format league: Poe/Dash, Biggs/Jess/Rex/Lowhhrick or Dengar/Nym. I know those lists are all the rage around, but I live in Mexico and our meta is really really weird. I've been flying Poe with Rey with some success except when confronted with a heavy bomb list.

I'm also thinking about trying some kind of Imperial multitool list with an Agressor, a Striker and a couple of Bombers or just a Bomber and add OL to the list. Opinions?

Dash/Poe and Biggs/Jess/Rex/Low are both crazy good and have few weaknesses. However, both will probably go to time, every time.

I just played a semifinal game in a store's tourney and after a winning streak with Dengar/Nym, it seems like my luck ran out completely. I mean, I dropped a bomblet four times on at least two ships and didn't do any damage at all. And of course, my opponent did five damage with Fenn in turn three.

How do you rebound after being hosed by dice for the first time?

In the end I was able to put on a Nym masterclass and won with one hull left. If I had given up early I would have surely lost. Always play like you have a chance at winning.
Nice! I did last more rounds than I first thought after losing Dengar, but well, I was not making any damage...

Anyway, that's the fickle finger of fate. Thanks, man!

They sound like they don't care much about the game... what a surprise.
