From the tournaments in Arizona that I have been in, we are quite varied. I think I have seen every unit used at least once minus like... Mak. I admit I did go "kayne for Kayne" and played somos to get the alt art card. at a Thursday tournament I took IG-88 and snagged 2nd place. We always have one person who runs beast lists, but the bantha isn't THAT popular IMO. Seeing more trooper spy lists, or rebel force user lists.

It is funny that maximum firepower doesn't work on vehicles, only heavy weapons. Tis most unfortunate, but that does sound like fun.

Keep in mind those rating are their personal ratings and should always be taken with a grain of salt, but it tells you what you are getting and some synergies that come with it.

As a person who read the crimson empire series just a couple weeks ago, it is certainly Carnor Jax. Jax wears the black cape and black armor with a red body glove, as does the card for RGC. Kanos wears the traditional royal guard attire with red cape and armor with a black body glove.

I love the RGC, he is one of my favorite units in both campaign and skirmish. He can be competitive in skirmish but takes some practice against several different types of lists to know when to fully commit him to the fray. In campaign he is expensive but also devestating, so that if you see you are going to get a big threat increase at some point, he can be worth it. His value does drop the more the rebels get their skills though, but his agenda set is worth it even if you don't play him.

So I've been running an AT-ST list recently and I have found it really fun and would love to see it face a rancor. I was able to put 17 damage on the dianoga in 1 turn, it was pretty legit! If the ranconrs do become popular, i will be very happy.

when i ran the spec ops deck, I ALWAYS had ISBs in my opens. I'm currently running hoth with precision training, so I ALWAYS have snowtroopers. I like to have some amount of theme.

I can't wait for the elite jet troopers! going to throw vader's finest on them and have them shoot and scoot all day long. And don't forget about fuel upgrade as well, the extra speed and surge defense will be great.

I use the officer mostly for somos and tend to run the heavies close to him to receive his focus. I like him over two elite officers as you get more damage per activation which can make a huge difference. The elite storms i tend to focus up first round and use them as effective 6 speed attackers. They become my primary objective takers, if i want to take objectives. the snowtroopers are there almost entirely for heals.
Another reason I like somos is that he attacks with three dice, which again, is far better than officers, and he can be healed by the snows.

Yea agreed, I can't wait for the jet packs personally!
Going to play some fun lists now nationals is over (6 officers 2 bantha anyone?!?) Then back to Sorin once Jabba hits
Trying to fit a General's Ranks on a bantha and then unshakeable/zillo/and or rule by fear may be worth dropping 1-2 regular officers or one bantha and filling in with some other stuff
Just remember that general's ranks don't work with the movement from regular officers, only elite ones.

So my friends and i were playing the new bespin campaign last night, and I ended up as the imperial player and i chose the new class deck. I took the card "stealth" ("melee attacks targeting you require 1 or more accuracy to not miss") along with "shadow armor" ("exhaust this card when an attack targeting an imperial figure is declared to apply -1 damage, -1 surge, or -2 accuracy to the results.
at one point, I had a hidden royal guard with "stealth" attached and would declare shadow armor for -2 accuracy, and davith declared an attack. he would need 5 accuracy to hit my guard correct? That is how I read it anyway. WE were uncertain as to the interaction but I believe it was played correctly.

I also have some friends like yours who have to be doing something on their turn and become bored when their character basically has their moves dictated by the game (such as delayed or moving through the other world). The one thing I can not stress enough when playing with people is that this is a Co-op game. Get excited by the other players and their encounters and movements. take joy from the team accomplishing a goal together, otherwise it can be very dull.

thats because you never play against him julia!

I like to personally use the eihort brood tokens since they give you so many of those **** things.

You also have to remember that spells have a certain thing over your average weapon: they are magical, and since many monsters have physical resistance/immunity, sometimes that spell is going to come in super handy. Also they combat spells have some of the highest modifiers in the game for when you need to kill the super extra scary monster.
Another note is that being driven insane is not the end of the world. You don't have to stay topped off in your healths to still be effective, and if you do go insane you spend two bucks and you keep chugging next round (since monster fights happen during movement and healing is during the encounter, its all during the same round).
The Professor reacted to this -
Monsters are always dealt with in movement. Always. He is going to be stuck fighting there unless you can manage to flee it.

I like to think of it as the person who is LiTaS is unable to return home due to the cosmic forces that allowed the ancient one to awaken.... but that might just be me.

i haven't sleeved any of my cards and i'm coming up on a year. I have noticed that my chits are getting a lot of wear, but i really can't tell any difference on the cards themselves. Granted I don't allow greasy food at the gaming table and I have let people know that should they spill drinks they can bet on replacing any components (through purchase of the entire box containing any given piece. I don't do a traditional bridge shuffle but I do more of a deck shuffle for cards. Sure it doesn't do a great job of mixing cards but it gets the job done well enough. Also, with so many encounter cards I only shuffle those on rare occasions.

I honestly want to run the Rangers with Fenn. Have the rangers get some shots off and let Fenn tear into anything that comes close!
