New preview thoughts

[New preview thoughts]

I think that the empires is the strongest, which makes me happy.  I've found that recovering health hasn't even been game changing, but putting damage on enemy figures, especially low figures that could die from it, can be pretty game changing.  

I'm loving the brawler cards and can see several good uses for them, although deathblow is going to be another card to greatly help the junk droid

[Looking for a Fight]

Yea, I always put motivation on shyla because of the parting blow combo.  don't want your units stunned!

[Looking for a Fight]

I had this happen in one of my tournament games recently (not this exact scenario, but something similar).  My shyla was whipping my enemy's luke past an eRG and I said it was legal to parting blow.  Took ten minutes of rules lawyering for everyone to come to that conclusion.  That little card should be fun, I can see using it with bossk to great effect.

Make sure you have parting blows in there.

[DARTH VADER IS KINDA MEAN - Jodo Cast Skirmish Videos and Extras]

do you want command cards?

[A Captain Terro Question]

jabba's realm did not come with a dewback card, only a terro card.  The dewback card only comes from the terro pack.

[A Captain Terro Question]

you will never NEED the 2 dewback models.  Captain terro will show up, but a regular dewback rider isn't a part of the reserved groups and will only ever be brought in by taking it as an open group.  

[Map Rotation Fall 2017]

I actually really like anchorhead.  I absolutely despise nal hutta.  Then again, i'm a filthy melee lover, so take that into account.  I'm looking forward to the riot troopers.  **** I even think the regulars look pretty good!

[What Are You Most Excited for in HOTE?]

I'm looking forward to the emperor and riot troopers.  But I really want to know what type of new campaign items they will be giving the rebel scum.  You can also bet that i'm going to give a sweet innocent news reporter bot feel to 88-z. "excuse me, do you have time for a few questions?  how do you feel about our wonderful emperor?  I can see by your actions, it must not be in high regard!"

[It's FRIDAY!!!!! Who will we see spoiled today??]

We could always get a next wave announcement... wouldn't that be grand???

[What Lists Are You Most Excited to Play after HotE?]

The "probably not super great, but thematic" list:

Vader 13

bt-1 6

0-0-0 4

eStorms 9

rRGs 8

 

It hurts me as an imperial to not take zillo, but for thematics sake, it must go.

 

[allies in trophy hunting]

as campaign iggy and fett are, IMO, garbage, I told my rebels to take bossk.  dude hits like a truck and is pretty durable.

[For those that don't think IA is thematic...]

Spy lists for life baby! Get your SoS and your blaze of glory out of here, ain't no one want that!

[Any experiences on Onar and Vinto?]

I think keep up is almost comparable to fenn's tactical movement, since he could use it during someone else's activation and move himself and use rush to move another, netting 2 spaces of movement.

[Vinto Builds]

pinpoint shot also triggers boltslinger, and also weakens.

[Indomitable class card question]

That was the same choice for me, but I chose RGC for two reasons:  I've always loved that character ever since the first time my rebels did Mak's mission, and the rebels have no force users with them.  While I think TGI is probably a more solid choice, I just love the twin bladed fury of a Cracked out RGC.

[Disaster in hoth]

i mean, Combat vets and assault armor on any group makes them scary.  also, why is the pulse cannon on mhd and not mak or fenn?

[Indomitable class card question]

Unless a card is a "deplete" card, you can still use the other effects of an already exhausted card.  So even with it exhausted you still cannot gain harmful conditions.

[Chewbacca Wookie Avenger and free slam (Multi-slam?)]

I popped this question up in another thread, and the answer is yes, he can.

[Maul and Skipping Activations]

don't forget maul can use parting blow

[No articles on anything lately?]

Even if they don't reveal anything new, I still enjoy reading the articles because it gives me something to hype over, and i'm an addict and need my fix!

[Not much balance to the force]

Force users: consistent damage.

[Star Wars Rebels... How many actually watch this?]

Is it amazing? No, not for me.  Is it entertaining enough for me to keep watching every week because I love star wars and I find it entertaining? Yes it is.  

[Dear FFG: O to Nerf an Ugnaut, Let Us Count the Ways]

I honestly said to people when the droid wave came out that if ugnaut lists become popular, I'm going to stop playing.  It is by far the single most frustrating list in my opinion.  As people have said, it is good, but not like, "omg nothing can beat this op nerf plox".  But I play in the tournaments to have fun and try to win in equal parts.  If you take away half of my reason for being there, then I'm not going to be there.  I would honestly rather have a focused Onar with assassinate, tools for the job, heightened reflexes one shot my darth vader than face ugnaut swarms.

[Return To Hoth: White Noise (IP Laments)]

If you have them, put it on the hired guns.  If not, then standard storm troopers are a good choice.  If you are going to bring in HKs anyway, its dandy to throw on them too.  If you think it is oging to die fast, a regular probe droid is also a good choice.
