Forged in Battle - quick review

[Forged in Battle - quick review]

Would love to get the stats for Shistavanen! My group is just about to start a new game and I'm kinda interested in rolling one!

[Lords of Nal Hutta Spoiler Thread]

Could someone PM me the stats for the Nikto and the subspecies?

I'm currently playing a green nikto in my campaign but I'm away on a trip and I'm dying to know if I statted him right!

[Got my "Beyond the Rim" in the mail yesterday]

Just ordered mine via Amazon/coolstuffinc. Delivery says first week of October, yikes!

This is my first time ever Amazoning; is long wait due to the extra middle man?

Actually, if you look at Coolstuffinc's seller profile for that item, it says that it is in stock and shipping as of 9/5.

 

I think Amazon is only going by the release date that FFG gave them and that is why the delivery date says the first week of October.  My guess is that FFG hasn't let Amazon know about the updated release date or that they just have not let Amazon sell the item yet.

 

So don't worry!  I ordered my on Amazon too from another seller.  My copy has already shipped, yours will ship soon too!

[Imp. Armor Master & Jury Rigging]

Very true, and I have definitely kept that in mind for my PCs.  We're just starting out so no one has anything above Padded Clothing so I am pretty far from having to deal with a character walking around in Mandalorian armor. 

 

Thanks for all the replies everyone!

[Imp. Armor Master & Jury Rigging]

Would Improved Armor Master (+1 defense to armor with a soak of 2 or higher) and Jury Rigging a piece of armor to have +1 increased ranged defense stack?

 

So if I had Heavy Battle Armor, would it be a total of +3 to ranged defense?  Seems pretty overpowered!

[Question on Double Strike and Tactics]

Thanks for the answer!  We've only played about 5 or 6 games and still solidifying the rules in our heads.

[Question on Double Strike and Tactics]

This scenario came up in our last game between me and my friend.

I had Grand Moff Tarkin, an Advisor to the Empire and a Tie Advanced defending against my friend's Home One and A-Wing.  I won the edge battle and went first with Grand Moff Tarkin, placing a tactics on Home One and taking him out of the battle. 

My friend wanted to use a Double-Strike to remove the focus token on Home One and attack again on the same objective but I said that you cannot since I believe Home One did not focus to strike since he was taken out of the battle pre-maturely due to the tactics from Grand Moff Tarkin.

Was I right in my ruling?  The game was down to the wire, I had 11 on the Death Star dial and my friend needed one more objective to win the game.  Please help!
