Has your store been told that they are holding a launch party already?
-
Nope as its a skirmish upgrade and not a deployment card.
-
My mistake. The ISB are Elite ones
-
I lost to that list in the 1st round of elimination after beating it in the swiss.
Thinking of a change now. Do I keep the same list for Nationals or try the following.
Agent Blaise
ISB Infiltrator
The Grand Inquisitor
Elite Imperial Officer (Thinking extra attack with Inquisitor mainly)
Zillo Technique
Temporary Alliance
HK Assassin Droid (Love the white dice reroll)
then either
Probe Droid or
Imperial Officer + Targeting Computer for 2 rerolls with the HK's
2 x leaders, 2 x spy, 2 x Hunter, 1 x Force User, 1 x Droid, then either another droid or leader so a nice selection of Command Cards available to complement the figures.

Its annoying because it needed one action to kill it each round so opponent wasn't shooting at important figures. But even 1-2 damage a round mounts up and from round 3 you will have the ugnaughts in the action.
With 7 health on the elite its also a pain to kill in 1 shot.
-
17 players in the end. Had 2/3 no shows.
Do not underestimate what a tinker droid can do to a Bantha or a low defence roll with up to 5 attacks in a round with a reg and Elite Ugnaught

Lost in 1st round of elimination rounds after being 1 of 2 to go unbeaten in the swiss.
Lost to eventual winner of the event where 1/2 of the players had Imperial Trooper swarms.
Beat him in the 3rd round of swiss then lost 40-30 due to 2 mistakes I made to throw away 15 cheap points.
Winner had the following.
Vader
Zillo
Temp alliance
Elite ISB
Probe Droid
Officer
Elite Ugnaught
Ugnaught.

I have come up against stun a few times and it could of been more due to the amount of sabs out there. Could of had another today but managed to not get drawn against him. Also had a few bleeds put on him so it also saves him getting a couple of extra wounds. Makes a difference if you only have a few left.
Ended up in 2nd after the swiss and then lost in 1st round of KO.
Possibly time to retire him now what with the new figures released.

As they are now allowing printed maps, you can get your own printed for around £4-5 each. This is why it is now cheaper. It wont be if you are using ffg ones. but now printed ones are legal so you don't need to buy Bantha etc just to have access to the tiles for the relevant maps.
-
There were 6 regionals in the UK. The last is on Sunday 17th. Managed to get to 3 of them so far. The ones I could not make were the one in Ireland and London, as this clashed with another one that was closer.
If you are stunned that you still cant move even if from another figure or card. You gain the movement points but cant spend them. Bleed states 'During your activation' So if moved by Gideon its not your activation, you are being ordered to move. So you wont take the strain as normal.
-
At least this gets round the problem of people calling over the TO because your opponent does not have the map tiles now.
Also makes it a lot easier for new players to get into the game as well due to the cost. Its just a WIN-WIN all round.

I have played Elite Stormtroopers for a while and maybe remember to put a focus token on another in the group once or even twice in a game. Sometimes I forget all game.
Now having to remember what options my opponent has available to them at certain times will never happen if I cant remember to do this for my figures.
-
Only having the beast tamer and 1 action after clearing 'stun' leaves him far from the action. Using 'unshakable' to clear the stun and then using the 2nd action to make an attack after trample has helped clear a figure or 2, or a double trample with the command card that allows 2 special actions.
Im not bothered about devious scheme and going 1st

Ended up 3rd after the swiss in the last Regional at the weekend.
Ended up being knocked out in the semi final against the eventual winner. I beat his opponent in the last round of swiss so was hoping to play him again.
I'm thinking of swapping out the E Tuskens and C3PO for either Hired Guns and MHD-19 (hoping he can heal the HK's and Bantha) or E Wing Guard (to make opponent suffer strain for each attack on adjacent figures) or E Rebel Troopers (for the free focus on attacks with their ability for more damage output) with the last 2 options I would add in the grenadier command card as well.
What would be the best option to add to the list.
Next Regional is Sunday.
List so far has me finish 2nd, semi-finalist and 10th in the last 3 regionals.
-
I have the following for IA.
2 x Green + 3 x White Dice for IA (Regional 2016)
AA C3PO,
AA Royal Guard
AA Bantha Rider
Rebel Damage Trackers
Regional 2016 Challenge Coin
-
Got it. Was thinking there was also a status phase at start of the round as well. Doh.
That is fine. Please ignore all of the above.
-
Why not?
Cut lines doesn't stop you from playing cards just drawing them.
-
That would mean swapping out a unit of Stormtroopers to add the RG + Rule by Fear as have 1 point left. Or just run a 39 pt list.

6 - Agent Blaise
8 - Heavy Stormtrooper (Elite)
1 - Targeting Computer
5 - ISB Infiltrator
9 - Stormtrooper (elite)
9 - Stormtrooper (elite)
(1 - Cross-Training)
1 - Zillo Technique
Something like this nickv?
Still have 3 spy units so no redundancy for opponents cards. ie Son of Skywalker.
Not bothered about the RG. (yet)
-
Thinking all out attack and hide for defence from either surge or cards.
I have a regional next month so have about 2 weeks to practice. Don't get many games though. Maybe 4-5
-
Am I right in assuming that if 'Cut Lines' is played at the start of a round Then has a figure play 'Strategic Shift' to get his opponent put his hand into the deck, He can NOT then draw the 2 cards as per the card, due to the 'Cut Lines' being in force.
-
After using Mercenaries for varying degrees of success, I am changing to Imperials and thinking of the following.
6 - Agent Blaise
7 - ISB Infiltrator (Elite)
7 - ISB Infiltrator (Elite)
9 - Stormtrooper (elite)
9 - Stormtrooper (elite)
(1 - Cross-Training)
1 - Zillo Technique
Or do I drop 1 set of elite ISB Infiltrator to regular (losing out on the 'Deadly' ability and get Vader's Finest for the other set of Stormtroopers?
or, Drop 1 unit of Elite Stormtroopers to Regular Troopers, Give them Vader's Finest for the focus ability (or Cross-Training) and then get 'Rule by Fear' for the extra starting card?
Cross-Training is to have 4 sets of spy units.

Ended up in 10th place at the Regional with 2-2. All 3-1 made the cut. Lost last 2 games with my opponent making the cut in 7th place. I would of been in 4th due to the SoS etc.
:( Both of my lost games, my opponents lost their 1st round KO games so wasn't to miffed. Both to the eventual finalists.Winner had a twins list and the runner up had a trooper/infiltrator list + Blaise. Luke must of saved (X-men) or recovered about 30+ points of damage during the game. The runner up split his force towards the end instead of pilling into Luke when he had 1 wound left.
Unsure if to take the same list to next months event or change. Apparently the local meta is trooper heavy.

No one in the UK knows yet, and here I see multiple posts from US stores with confirmed dates.
