  1. I think the OP is on the right track at least. Playing multiple turns of run away is totally against the spirit of the game and in my opinion poor form. Maybe half points is the exact right solution, but at first glance it seems better than the current option.
  2. That was my understanding, protect the ships from un wanted stress
  3. That initiative bid is pretty important, also Biggs. Out of curiosity, whose the third x and how are you running wedge?
  4. I do miss 40k especially the fictional universe. FFG has that 40k lcg coming out and I will definitely throw some cash at that. I'm sitting on three 40k armies right now. Haven't touched em since 5th ed. 5th ed was great though, miss that game.
  5. I don't want to go down to three ships and I'm not a big believer in heavy laser cannon. I do like the idea of dark curse though, he's obviously more defensive but with the extra points I could change the advanced scopes to fire control system. Phantompho pretty much nailed it on why yorr. I also generally like having higher pilot skill. I'm still a little worried about how this list would deal with a whisper though.
  6. I really can't bring myself to like backstabber except as a flanker in a tie swarm. I ususally run my ties as a mini gunline with whatever else they're supporting while soontir, echo or in this case brath wreaks havoc everywhere else
  7. You're numbers are wrong, everyone can see wave 9 will be op.
  8. SHUT UP AND TAKE ALL OF MY AMERICAN MONEY RIGHT NOW!!!!! Which means wave 40 will reach the grim dark future and bring in 40k ships! I'll run some combo of dutch, f-22's and i can finally dust off my vendetta gunships again
  9. I'm working on a list to try out the defender and i wound up with seventeen points free. I'm fairly happy with the lists durability and maneuverability. I've got seventeen points left and was originally going to add mauler mithel and call it a day, but i remembered black squadron+predator has a pretty strong following. Or if there's a third option I'm missing id love to hear it. The rest of the list is included below Rexler Brath (40) TIE Defender (37), Predator (3) Captain Yorr (28) Lambda-Class Shuttle (24), Enhanced Scopes (1), Fleet Officer (3) Night Beast (15) 83 points
  10. Will the meta be able to handle the lack of symmetry between ships? If imperials get two ships and rebels get one they're gonna be way OP
  11. i really like those two at the end. Somone else suggested the p38 as the tie advanced I thought that was fantastic as well, I might also offer the grumman f6 as the advanced. I can't decide if the zero is the A wing or Tie interceptor but both of those are pretty solid comparisons.
  12. Is it possible for you to share the scan?
  13. Originally i had three preordered but that was before i realized that there were multiple refits in each box so its back down to two. I have two each of A and B wings
  14. I have three right now and I sometimes debate a 4th but haven't taken the plunge yet. If you want your collection to support two players four would definitely be the way to go.
  15. As a rebel player in a local metta dominated by large base ships i feel naked when i don't bring at least one b wing. They're very point efficient, advanced sensors is nice for for maneuvering but lately i've been running them with fire control system for extra damage output. The named pilots could be a little more exciting, but that's what rebel aces will be for.
  16. I'm hoping that was intentional and you're a stargate fan
  17. Wow man, heck of a story. My dad also got me into star wars, I'm lucky enough to still have him around. The first Rogue squadron game came out when i was a kid and for some reason i fell in love with the y wing. So whenever I'm running dutch it brings me back to my friends and i running around the playground pretending to be in space ships. I'm glad you were able to get back into the fold.
  18. Not sure why this is still going, but those of you who have a problem with allowing the cloak action had better go freak out at the germans too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhfOfl90ixU At about 11:30 the rebel player allows the imperial player to roll the defense die he forgot to on the phantom. Now the rebel player went on to win anyway but can you imagine the scandal if echo had laid multiple hits on wedge as a result?
  19. So "I'm going to boost" (measures over an asteroid) "Nope... Guess I'm going the other way" is perfectly acceptable. I believe in that example you could also declare a different action if you didn't want to boost a different direction
  20. I would recommend dropping the alpha squadron down to a tie variant,( maybe night beast cuz he's super tanky)so that you can give an interceptor push the limit. Really makes em more fun to play
  21. For the past few days I've been googling "x wing 2014 nationals" trying to find the us ones
  22. I don't think this works quite as well as i want it too but 100 points Pilots ------ Jan Ors (36) HWK-290 (25), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Kyle Katarn (3), Hull Upgrade (3) "Dutch" Vander (23) Grey Squadron Pilot (23) Y-Wing (20), R2-D6 (1), Wingman (2) Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
