    (28pts) Tur Phennir w/Push the Limit

    My advise for purchasing "all in" without going crazy ...

    7-8 Tie Fighters

    1 Tie Advanced

    2-3 Firesprays

    4 Interceptors (2 from Imperial Aces)

    3-4 Tie Bombers

    1-2 Imperial Shuttles

    4 X-Wings

    2-4 Y-Wings

    1-2 YT-1300s

    3-4 A-Wings

    3-4 B-Wings

    1 Hwk-290

    You can make any good list imaginable with max count. And close to 90% you'd ever want with min count.

    Have Fun!!! It's awesome!

    ...I personally would have no issue with someone moving two same PS ships and doing the actions out of order. But not allowing it, telling people that they have to play by the rules as written does not make me a bad person....

    I didn't say you were a bad person. Just trying to communicate that not consenting to retroaction/shortcuts/ect. will likely cause a reaction to you by other players ... Usually negative. I'm speaking from personal experience as I am a rules lawyer in my group ... And I now have a reputation for it. I have learned to lighten up in areas I actually don't have an issue (like the ones you just stated) for an improved atmosphere. And as for "driving you out" comment ... There will be casual/layed-back players turned off by a cut throat tournament environment, just as hard core tournament players might leave if no one likes them. I'm just trying to say how it is. I don't believe Flying Casual means play sloppy and allowing cheating. Just making X-Wing work for everyone. My .02

    ...So we all agree that some actions can't be allowed, so why allow any? Because if you allow some but not others you have to decide which are allowed and which aren't. Far simpler to play by the rules as written rather then get into a discussion on how far you can bend the rules...

    There isn't bending of rules. They state actions and triggers can't be retroactive without opponents consent. So the players can decide what is reasonable (Focus/Evade) and what isn't (barrel roll). It isn't bending ... It's consenting and directly in tournament rules. You can choose not to allow anything ... But there will be a cost of your reputation and possibly your local X-Wing community. This isn't Magic the Gathering where both players are penalized for missing one player's trigger ... And that is a good thing IMO.

    From Tournament rules ...

    Missed Opportunities

    Players are expected to play optimally, remembering to perform actions and use card effects when indicated. If a player forgets to use an effect during the timing specified by that effect, he cannot retroactively use it without the consent of his opponent. Players are expected to act with respect and not intentionally distract or rush an opponent with the intent of forcing a missed opportunity.

    So ... While it is accurate that actions take place in proper order, opponent CAN consent it to happen ... legally. So it's up to you. "Fly Casual" is allowed ;-)

    Also with swarm movement ... Have you watched any of the National or World championship videos???

    It doesn't get more official than that and swarm movement was constantly used. Obviously they didn't do banks ... Good swarm players know how formation movements happen. These are timed events.

    Looks like it posted on FFG page here Jan 16th.

    Considering no Portland or Seattle area locations applied ... It seems mistimed, under-publicized, or something.

    Also, the timing of it flies in the face of their Store Championship announcement that said (in writing) that regional locations chosen would be influenced by store championship attendance!!! Love your product FFG ... But what the heck is up with that. Possibly the two biggest Portland area X-Wing stores still haven't held their store championship yet?!?

    We've already had some store championships played.  Wouldn't be fair to have new ships introduced into the tournament rules at this point.

    How is it not fair???

    Those tournament squads aren't battling future squads ... I can see not having it be legal today as it's not all distributed yet, but a week or two ...

    If everyone at the tourney had a chance to get them, than that is a level playing field. I can't imagine that unfamiliarity is an issue considering the Kessel Run and upcoming Assault at Imdaar Alpha are won with the play of never before used ships.

    When FFG announced store championships they said ...

    "Retailers who run successful Store Championship tournaments will earn priority when we determine who will host our spotlighted Regional Championship tournaments later in the year."

    So what is that supposed to mean when the store championship season is still in progress?!?

    Portland area still has 2 more to go ... Are more regionals to be announced after proven attendance?
