I’d argue that parattani is more about Latts and mindlink than green turns.

Mindlink was a dead card until Scum got green turns in both directions on ships.

More likely it's just rendered wrong, because the U wing base has one of the X wing pilots' info :ffg:

It looks like the other unique crew is the same guy as one of the U-Wing pilots so maybe he’s just multi-talented. I dunno.

What does krennic do?

Plops a condition on a friendly Empire (not First Order ship) with three or fewer shields, that ship gets an additional shield, and once per round, when attacking, can spend an attack die to remove a shield token from the defender. Condition may or may not have more text after that, who knows.

Next wave looks great. I always wanted an U-wing so this is perfect.

Must be pretty lovely for the people that already have one though, kinda like the HotR set.

I think the partisan paintjob looks pretty bad so if the U-Wing becomes viable somehow I'm just gonna use the OG Blue Squadron paintjob one.

Also, Saw seems really cool on a Lothal Rebel with FCS and Hera crew.

There are often store tournaments in a local game shop here. Every time the entire ordeal is arranged by the players, and all mats and stuff are also brought by the players. There is usually a 10 bucks entry fee, and the top three players get gift cards for the store, and usually a FFG kit is divided among the players. The store charges us about 20 bucks for a kit, which is taken from the entry fee, and the rest is divided into the gift cards. My question is: is it normal for a store to charge for these kits? In the last city I lived in, the store would always provide these free of charge.

The kits are about 20 bucks each from FFG so the store wanting to make that money back isn't terribly unreasonable IMO.

Fun list, try to to bank as many focus on Rey at start of game, then jam Chewie in their face and swoop the Zs in behind. Chewies attacks are potent, especially when he's attacking multiple times. There's a number of variations of the list. You could put Prockets/cruise on all of them, use swap out a tala for the PS1 sheathipede and M9G8 droid and put Expertise on Chewie. I think this one is a good start for semicasual. Chewie's multiple attacks just wreck.

Total: 100/100

A few pages back, but what's the rationale for using Talas with 2 Harpoons and a Thread Tracer over using Bandits with 3 Harpoons? Shooting before the Lothal Rebel? Slightly better modification on your harpoons?

Hahaha what a poo poo show the adepticon final was. Both had Miranda, Low, Ezra. Ended up as Miranda vs Miranda in endgame with noone making progress for like 40min, they wanted to just final salvo but the ffg OP people said no so they both left the table and went to talk on stream for a while then came back and played loopin chewy on stream after flying their ships out of the way.

Finally final Salvoed at time.

As far as I could tell every single list that made the cut to the second day was some combination of Fenn, Miranda, Wookie, Lothal, and Nym. Great meta, this.

Their lack of a common lexicon for timing is easily the worst thing about this game, design-wise. Like 3/4ths of the FAQ exists because they used slightly different words for the same thing, words that ultimately don't mean the same thing, meaning in the end, those things that should be the same are not.

It's really amazing that they're too cheap even at this point to hire contract out to a single technical writer to proofread all their rules documents and put together a style guide of sorts for future rules writing.

Ugh, what are the changes that made it illegal? Did they reduce the number of identical large-base ships from 6 to 4? Could replace two of the Resistance Bombers with Lothal Rebels, and it'll still fit.

"Each player must build one squad to use in an event. A squad cannot exceed 300 points, though it may contain fewer than 300 points. In addition, a player must include a number of huge ships worth between 2–5 epic points in their squad. These huge ships count toward the 300-point total of their squad. A player cannot include more than eight small ships of a single type and four large ships of a single type. For example, if a player includes “Backstabber”, “Howlrunner”, and 6 Academy Pilots, they cannot include any more TIEfighters. However, they may include up to eight TIE/fo fighters as well. A player cannot include more than four copies of any secondary weapon or Elite Pilot Talent upgrade with the same name."

In a corner somewhere a Tie swarm player and a Interceptor player are holding each other. Both are crying.

Given that Rebels already have Lohrick and Fenn Rau I think it’s just gonna exacerbate the current meta, except maybe there will be a T65 or two instead of just Nym and Miranda or whatever now.

I mean, the opportunity cost of S-Foils is nothing, so they can't be garbage, but it's definitely refit that shines brighter in my eyes. But even then, if you equip refit on attack position, you're getting barrel roll added to your action bar and post dial option to turn 3-turns to 3-tallon rolls and that's certainly a buff, even ignoring being able to flip it for 2 bank greens and boost to the action bar (although 2 dice primary is terribad). X-Wing only lists aren't gonna win system opens, but to say that S-Foils is garbage is pretty laughable, but they're not overwhelmingly good like x7 Defender was.

I noticed the Epic ships aren't included. Are they abandoning them going forward? They never really fit with tournament gameplay, and I know people complained about the difficulty of including them in games. On the other hand, they own.

I’m sure they’ll find a way to charge us $50 to play them again.
