I am an old school BT player too. You should look at Alpha Strike. Huge improvement on playability and lance diversity.

I don't play ordinance typically but I have a friend who swears by cluster missiles and guidance chips to add a double attack to his missile boats, typically imperial. I've been on the receiving end of it a few times. It can be devastating when he has decent dice.

I've never played this and it doesn't exactly meet the op requirements but what about this: B-Wing: Blue Squadron Pilot (22) B-Wing: Blue Squadron Pilot (22) X-Wing: · Biggs Darklighter (25) · R4-D6 (1) Integrated Astromech (0) Z-95 Headhunter: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12) Z-95 Headhunter: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12) -- TOTAL ------- 94p. -- 6 left points to modify to your preferences. Fly Biggs with the B wings to keep them alive a bit longet and block with the Z 95s.

I am a casual player and Ouray group just print our lists and we play, often misinterpreting or just plain forgettingthe rules. I don't think the game needs a complete overhaul though a new rule book with the FAQ rulings integrated would be nice. That said if they did decide to do a 2.0 I think they would move away from 100 point list for tournament play. They would probably move to 1000 points so upgrades costs could be fine tuned. Veteran Instincts for example costs 1 point currently. That feels a little inexpensive for its in game value but 2 points would make it over costed. On a 1000 point scale it could cost 15 points and be appropriately costed.

It could also be the the rebel leadership let Wedge and Leia think Kanan and Ezra are dead but the are moved to a different rebel cell and kept secret from the OT characters as a contingency if the cell the OT characters are part of gets destroyed.

I am not a tournament player and I casual play I don't see that Biggs is too much of an issue, but if a nerf is required why not "deadeye" him. Only allow his ability to protect small base ships. It's thematic and stops his use with the ghost or falcon.

Jyn Orso also give insurance against being blocked. The ship blocking the ship she is crew will cause her to trigger and she can assign her ship a focus.

In modern combat training the reverse grip is sometimes used to confuse the defender. If the defender doesn't realize that you have a knife they assume you are throwing a punch and react differently. Something that the attacker can exploit. At least that's what my SF HtH trainer told me in the Army.

I don't have an opinion on whether or not TLT are overpowered, but I joined X wing at the height of the "Phantom Menace" and there is a disturbing similarity to the threads about the Phantom. They go something like this: Poster 1: X is OP. Poster 2: No it's not X movement is very predictable/ falls to focused fire. I beat it all the time. You need to fly better. Repeat. I trust MJ's math that claim that it is the most efficient jouster, but jousting efficiency isn't everything. Just look at the Falcon to see an example of an inefficient jouster that is still competitive (or was pre-TLT). If the TLT is OP, I wonder if the simplest solution is to grant an extra green die against all weapons not just primaries. That's a slight nerf that also affects super Dash, Brobots and other cannon carriers but it never made sense to me that you only got an extra die against primaries.

I ran the same list this week except swap Porkins for Hobbie with Targeting Astromech and bump the Rookies to Reds. It was super fun to fly and I would definitely use it again. I went Porkins because of the stress meta (stressbot/tactician)

I was thinking something like this: Arvel Crynyd (23) Chardaan Refit (-2) Adaptability (-1) (0) A-Wing Test Pilot (0) Total: 21 View in Yet Another Squad Builder To make Arvel a better blocker and increase his chance of having and action for repositioning, attack or defense.

I love the T-65 but I have struggled with them. I have tried the usual suspects without much success. Because of this I am looking to try something a bit out of the box like this: Jek Porkins (26) Elusiveness (2) R5-D8 (3) Integrated Astromech (0) Tarn Mison (23) R7 Astromech (2) Integrated Astromech (0) Rookie Pilot (21) R2 Astromech (1) Integrated Astromech (0) Rookie Pilot (21) R2 Astromech (1) Integrated Astromech (0) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder

Ventress is dead. Isn't Vos still alive though?

That would have no affect on Y wings with TLT and title. It's my opinion but the spamming of that combo is at the heart of the TLT needs a nerf conversations. I disagree. I think the Droid/Title/TLT thing is fine and good to have. It is not without it's drawbacks and only messes up Aces, which are currently dominating the game anyway. I see it as an important counter, same as Omega Leader or Crackshot. I do wonder if TLT by itself is a little too efficient. It probably is, by a point or two, especially if you believe MJ's math (which I do). But I think the Wave 8 stuff will mostly solve that issue, so I am willing to wait and see. If anything, I am more afraid the TIE Defender titles will be too much. What are you disagreeing with? I agree the TLT stressbot is a good counter to action dependent aces. I personally have no problem with the combo. I think the issue that is causing the debate is the spamming of the TLT/Title/R2 or unhinged astromech combo. I'm not sure if that combo is OP but I understand how people can think it is.

Obi-Wan isn't exactly the most reliable source of facts... He did after all tell Luke that his father was killed by Darth Vader. Kenan isn't technically a Jedi, he was a padawan when order 66 happened so he never took the trials. That means Ezra can never be a Jedi either. Plus the idea that somehow Obi-Wan and Yoda could make it that long without being discovered but no other Jedi could find a place to hide in the whole galaxy is simply too far fetched. Kenan and Ezra may die before the end, but I don't think that's a given or need to happen. Obi Wan and Yoda were effectively Jedi Zealots. They don't really acknowledge other force using traditions, even those focused on the light side. If I remember correctly officially Ahsoka isn't a Jedi, she left the order. Maybe in Obi Wan's and Yoda's eyes they are not considered Jedis, but still worthy of Jedi training, and maybe they are just Jedi candidates to Obi Wan and Yoda.

I hope somthing really big happens first. You can't just have an instant side-swap. Maybe something like Prince Zuko in Avatar. Absolutely agree. It's one thing when it is 'good guy' vs 'bad guy (from a certain point of view); but when you put the shoe on the other foot and realize the bad guy isn't bad at all... then the conundrum sets in. Maybe he's from Alderaan

You could just have a 1 or 2 point X-wing title that adds a boost action. The T-70 already has boost so it won't help them, just the T-65. This would allow a player to select either IA or AT to add some durability and have some arc dodging capabilities to the T-65. 2 dice evades in a TLT or turret heavy meta just isn't enough. Luke would be a tank on par with Poe but not be action dependent.

I have been looking at adaptability (-1 PS) on him, so he can be a better better blocker. It still doesn't help versus generics but he could cause trouble for PS6 and above.

That's still pretty limiting

No, you have 2 ships with a focus and a stress and one with 2 focuses and a stress. Mindlink doesn't assign a token to someone that already has one. This is how it would actually look: Ship 1: non-red maneuver, focus, assign focus to ships with AML Ship 2: non-red maneuver, focus, tries to assign focus to ships with AML but everyone already has one. Ship 3: red maneuver, stress, assign stress to ships with AML Thanks, my mistake but replace the second focus with an evade and you get 2 actions and no stress for 2 ships, 2 actions 1 stress for the 3rd or 2 and 1 for all three. PTL on all 3 would be 9 points. I think I corrected my post to reflect the proper sequence/tokens.

It will be useful but you will need to plan your maneuvers/actions carefully. I envision a scenario like this: Imagine a GS A Wing Swarm Ship 1: red maneuver, stress, assign stress to ships with AML Ship 2: green maneuver, shed stress, focus, assign focus to ships with AML Ship 3: green maneuver, shed stress, evade, assign evade to ships with AML Now you have 1 ship with stress and a focus and evade token, and 2 ships with no stress and 1 focus token and 1 evade token or Ship 1: non-red maneuver, focus, assign focus to ships with AML Ship 2: non-red maneuver, evade, assign evade to ships with AML Ship 3: red maneuver, stress, assign stress to ships with AML Now you have 3 ships with 1 focus, 1 evade and 1 stress. An opposing stresshog would severely handicap this type of list and since it's so prevalent I don't expect to see a lot of AML. edit: corrected the action sequence/tokens

Determination as insurance?

Only if you want him dead without being shot at. Not true. If you have R5-D8 you have a good chance of removing any damage you get. If you get the damage and spend your next action trying to clear it, there is only an 11% chance that there will still be damage left after that. If only the rebels had the Emperor to pair with Porkins. Porkins would be immortal(ish) and stress what stress.
