    Last turn of a tight game I was ahead on points, marginally, but felt ok as the only shot I had on me was on a suped up Ewing with 1 shield and 2 hull left and it was from a ranged 2 Tie fighter.  you guessed it, no dodges and direct hit city bloew me away and left me all kinds of dead :(

    Good work, some interesting stuff.

      I love battle 3 where you desperately try to justify your loss by not being an utter utter dusche bag with your brother! ha.

     

      You know what, I actually really like the 2400 with a standard Fringer in there and just Leebo, though I can see the appeal of PTL too.  I'm really scared of stress with it as it's green moves are very predictable, if you get someone close to you it can be real hard to get away if you are stressed but Leebo is like a get out of jail free card.  I find when I'm being chased down by something quick I can do one of two things, either a sharp 1 then a barrel roll and watch the other ship fly off into the distance trying to keep pace with me or a 4 forward, boost and barrel roll to blast away, mixing these up keeps people guessing when they get close.  Also, he's not actually THAT pricey in that instance.  Worth a go.

      I like having an Ion heavy defence for him too, a Y wing or some head hunters with Ion Ordinance to fly around with the Fringer as he skirts the battle field so you have a chance of putting tokens on people as they try to close ranks?  I've yet to REALLY get this to work (cos my sons Fricking decimator took out my Y wing in no time at all!) but it;s a Theory I like, not least of all cos the Y wing and 2400 kinda look like old beat up war horses together!

     

      Good stuff mate, look forward to reading more!

    Hi. I play games mainly with my son and we really get a kick out of playing games like this coop. These sort of 'modes' are pretty rare so I often have to come up with modifications to make it possible.

    My question is how hard would it b to procedurally simulate the empire player in this game? I'm very handy at knocking up tool in excel using vba ect but I suppose the question is more structural...

    Hi guys,looking to do a fun gimmick list for a story battle about a braggart and former pirate turned pirate hunter called Handsome Stan Hanson.

    anyway -

    Capt Oiconn

    Stay on target

    anti pursuit lasers

    Intelligence agent

    Mara jade

    50 points

    Krasis Trelix

    Ysann Isgard

    HLC

    Hull upgrade

    50 points

    So Kresis is obvious,HLC and evades to annoy and survive. So hard to kill that bugger.

    Oicon,Or Hanson,is just a pain and needs to get up close ASAP.he can use the stay on target to make sure u don't shrug him off and the intelligence agent for high pilot skill targets. The stress he causes at range 1 stops people k turning away from him if he manages to get behind em.

    the plan is to stomp and squash away with the deci,if possible on the main ship of the opposition, while Trelix wears down the peripheral ships.

    should b fun?

    Hey guys.

    this is Demax Rebobans ship,the Nest.

    I only wanted to do a subtle repaint and as Demax was originally a Necromunda character I put the yellow and black stripes on.I tried to hightlight to keep it looking scruffy and scuffed.

    cheers

    Edit,bugger,thought I'd imbedded that correctly

    The advanced is a great ship...so...

    In game,in that ship and with the right missiles,I'd back Vader in a dogfight with any small ship,Soontir included.TL,focus and homing missiles messes Fel up,the two actions in that ship makes him a bugger.

    In universe it's supposed to b really good.also,he gave a lot of the specs for it's design and refinement,maybe he felt he should stick to it as it was kind of 'his' ship?

    I know they are unpopular but the splash damage missiles are really good if you take more than one.Vaders good for packing a second. When was the last time that you engaged at range 3 early on and no ships was outside of 1 range?it's good against swarms and rebel squads too as a large % of their squad gets damaged.

    I'm not saying they are optimal or better than the other ones, just that they are worth a go.

    Oh one small other benefit is the psychological impact they have - the simple counter to a squad with them is to spread ur squad.course that is great when people do it as you are effecting their movement and strategy.

    Since people like to fly in formation they are pretty good,I'm a massive fan and will b running Vader with Squad leader and one and a bomber with at least one as they can just pull apart tight formations and annoy people. Of course tie swarms are your main target but even X wing squads don't like it when they pull shots onto Biggs and everyone still gets hurt...

    I like them anyway.

    If your going 4 x's, and bare in mind my natural defensive bent, I think I'd build for grinding out results. I'd drop Wedge as he is such a target you have to build around him, and I'd prob go for a Luke list designed to last.4X's can be a bugger over a long game.

    I'm on the fence here. I think it should be one more point as it's ace and a lot of the argument to keep it where it is could b people who rely on it and dont want it trimming.

    I don't think it's crazy though to b fair.

    Just quickly about the Turrets against empire, they ARE a mare. I find the one thing with the falcon is if you can keep it at range 3 it kind of struggles a bit to do much damage, particularly on things with dodge builds. My answer to everything is missiles but Vader and bombers can really hurt it quickly. I love Vader dearly :-)

    How odd a response...

    We all agree about tournys,any competitive play needs the clarity and the game needs the support. Personally I don't mind printed cards but kind of think this game is a bit like a card collecting game but wouldn't cry about a mate just using a list builder or something.

    I'd be against people using things that are not at least representative - if your coaster is the same size as a firespray that doesn't count :-). However I'd b happy for people to use ships from other companies - Starwars is a big universe after all

    I'm a bit surprised how many people seem against proxies on the principle that they bought their own ships and it's not fair if you don't! Ha, human nature I guess!

    Hi all.

    I'm working on a campaign that is set just after the fall of the empire and will take place on several war torn worlds.

    Anyone got any idea where I could get city scape style terrain to scale?

    I would love to see an X win powering down a torn up boulevard followed by tie fighters,avoiding overturning into a building...

    I love NB dearly, he's q right pain when it gets close. Not used dark curse as much but still he's ok. The thing with '2attacks sucks' as a go to moan for them I'm not sure, surely they should be blasting RIGHT into your opponents range 1,so they will have three shots, not to mention that it makes people want to hit them over the range 3 bomber...

    Hmm, Boba is actually really good and cos of his movement bombs are good. I adore bombers to bits too so would go that way but how about Boba and Vader, with cheap ties? The idea I suppose being Vader with the right upgrades can b a pain on his own, as can Boba.set them apart and try a flank?

    P.s. You'll notice I'm like a used care salesman with Tie Advanced..

    You know what the funny thing about tourneys is?when u face someone with a 'none standard list' you struggle.

    I'd say find a style of play that u enjoy and go with it, push your lists to suite.

    Yeah I like a gunner on Fett too...

    I agree with u, from a balance perspective too a bomber could b lethal if you pair it with Luke and let Boba fly off on his own...

    Draw there fire could be ok on Luke I suppose, personally I'd rather give him perhaps squad leader to help boost the crazy damage from the Y wing.

    Which Y wing pilot though?
