    You can Action: Rage and Action: Focus on the same turn.  (key here is the word 'assign' in the rage text.  You have not taken the focus 'action' when you are 'assigned' a focus token [Also see: Whisper])

    Easy to slaughter your enemy when you are not following the rules!
    Accuracy Corrector changes 2 dice to hits after cancelling all dice results, and Autoblaster Turret is a 2 dice attack... however, in 2 rounds in a row, this combo managed to do 3 damage directly to the IG's.
     
    Big difference when you are doing 50% more damage than you should be each round.

    My buddy and I play a 4 player game, where we control 2 races each.
    -The races must be placed across the board from one another.
    -They can never occupy the same tile at the same time. (You can have one of your races in space, and the other on a planet, but never both in space or on a planet together)
    -Your other race can never qualify you for a VP (such as blockading a space dock)
    -Write down 2 different VP totals required for a 'win' and keep it hidden, write down a race for each number. (We choose, 8 and 12.) So the other player is never sure which race is close to victory, as soon as one race hits it's VP total, the game is over.
    -On political, pull 3 agenda's, tally up total votes. Write down (hidden) what your votes are for each agenda, then reveal. Ties go to the Speaker, agenda's with no votes are discarded. (We remove one political card... I think it's called public execution, where elected race loses all action cards, exhausts all planets, and is -1 on all combat for the whole round.)
    -If your playing with Assembly, no one team can be speaker twice in a row. (This prevents one team picking first over and over)
    This is a very fast and easy version that requires almost no adjustment to the original rules. Learning two sets of rules for the same game is something I try to avoid. My buddy and I can usually finish up a game in 2-3 hours depending on VP totals. If we want a longer game then we go 10 and 14 points. We have probably 10 games played and we have found it to be pretty balanced.

    You've seen it here folks, the rarest critical hit combo.  The only way to take 4 damage from 1 crit.  Poor Bill.

    Yep, I had the page that said: You have 6 minutes to complete this transaction... I added my credit card, double checked all the info, and got: This event is sold out.  So... I didn't add my CC info fast enough apparently.  And that 6 minutes to complete was just a tease.
     
    I was done filling everything out at 11:00pm Mountain time,so 1 minute after I got the ticket on my screen.
     
    I wish worlds was about the best of the best competing, and not: whoever is lucky enough to get their **** filled out the fastest...

    Ok, I guess they are just literally being made available one at a time or something strange like that. 1 became available again after a few mins and managed to get it. Maybe it's an issue on thunderticket's end, maybe not who knows.

    I think this is a common mentality but one that is sort of thinking about things wrong. Sure no missile is as good as hlc, but no tie advanced, xwing, or ewing (etc.) can take hlc. The point of ordnance is to add something to your ship that is useful at the right time, similar to something like inertial dampeners or adrenaline rush. Not every game you take a missile will present you with the option to use it, and sometimes that's just how the game plays. Certainly some ordnance sucks eggs, but a solid handful of missiles are actually pretty good in the right spot.
    I'd never load up a normal fighter with missiles first, but I'd also never not load missiles if I had some room.
