  1. Just have the actual ones in your box...if anyone complains.
  2. Have you done all the new factions as well?
  3. I asked about the swapping...it apparently broke the system so he is working on it when he has some free time. Just removed it for now. And Leia should be fixed.
  4. It is coming I have talked to him. High quality images are what he is trying to get. Plus he adds FAQ and errata data to cards info so that takes time. I am going to throw him another annual 10 bucks (not required) as I am sure that I take up half his storage with my lists.
  5. yah the didn't even update the playtesters or staff.
  6. There is a trifecta (or more) of issues for imp sqn players.. If you are going to take sqns (without Rogue) you take Sloane...for her ability. If you are then taking sqns ....what do you take. Aces, as generic imps die to flak. Maarek for his price point, speed, hull and reliability is the best sqn they have. So he gets included and Jendon allows you to double tap him and extend the range for command. Imp carriers can throw max 6 sqns fully kitted up with a good possibility of Flight controllers because at that point 6 extra blue dice is definitely worth it. Usually Maarek if he is included in that 6 is a finisher (creating a sense that I always die to Maarek feeling). Because imperial sqns for the most part are bomber or fighter (exceptions of course) Sloane allows the fighters to be multi-role (something the rebels have had all along to some degree). And finally, IMHO there are only a few viable imperial admirals for high tier competitive play that consistently show up at top tables. This then in turn creates net lists of people wanting to mimic the success. Which then feeds back into the loop. In my experience playing against top level players I either have to hold back Maarek (which means you aren't getting as much out of him) or he gets focused down by the opponents sqns (he is almost there for after your other sqns win the firefight or if your opponent has no sqns). Because pre Onager/Star-hawk almost all top lists involved some sort of 132 sqn ball. (exceptions to nova Open winners for the past 2 years (unsubstantiated theory: the longer 5 round format followed by 3 rounds makes sqn players make mistakes, as well less big wins whereas an all ship list can win or lose big and is less tiresome to fly over that many rounds and less prone to mistakes (as well both of those Winners are top level players anyways so it is less about list and more about player skill (including creation of the list) @Truthiness, @GiledPallaeon) To be fair the prevalence of the Sloane Sqn Alpha list especially from a Quasar, is disappearing from my observations. Onager, Double Onager, and Triple Onager are death to the flimsy quasar that effectively can't hide. Imps killed by their own success. And those lists with the exception of Single Onager/Quasar aren't running significant amounts if any of sqns. Something every player has to keep in mind when preparing for a tournament, is how do I take down an SSD, a Starhawk, and how to do I counter or is my list susceptible or can I out deploy Onagers. Sqns that require command dials don't have as strong a place as long as those other options that are currently being observed out there in the online tournaments @BrobaFett being the outlier (again a top level player) Finally, is he too good?...or does everything else suck?...fire sprays IMO are the only comparative sqn for efficiency vs ships, but they die to any dedicated fighter wing as they don't shoot at sqns well enough. Just food for thought. He is good. But I think he is priced appropriately. There is nothing else that I consider reliable enough and cheap enough to bother with....poor Boba Fett. 2points cheaper and maybe. Because if you look at generic Tie Defenders...they aren't good, yet should be?....I think they are 2 points too expensive as well. Same with Tie Phantoms....just too expensive, and/or cloak timing is terrible as they aren't likely still alive at that point. And as long as their is a chance for a Yavaris/Adar talon Ten Numb and Toryn far for reliable flak out there and whether Ten Numb is prevalent or not...you aren't bringing ties except as deployment boosters. Another issue with him that is overlooked sometimes, I honestly think Maarek's speed 5 might be the biggest issue (almost 7 with squall) Luke Skywalker can solo gladiators with a vcx but his speed 3 is the limitation. Having that range to be a constant threat and chase down fleeing ships to finish them off creates a PTSD feel that Maarek finishes off everything. And no matter what I would trade every sqn in the imperial arsenal for 8 x yt2400's. LOL The imperial tax is real
  7. https://galacticconflictpodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-30-the-angriest-of-ewoks/ Show Notes Episode 30 The Angriest of Ewoks Welcome back to another episode of Galactic Conflict!

  8. My sympathy goes out to the ffg employees that have been laid off. Reliable rumours so far. But most of the devs and some OP. The timing is never good but with US holidays approaching and the pandemic this is doubly bad. let’s not worry where the game is going just yet. Until the dust settles. I honestly hope it’s not true. But the source was correct last winter.
  9. Ottawa and Montreal have a good group. Halifax with Moncton has a small one. Even Kingston is small but was active. I even found 6 players in Thunder Bay once. Best to look for armada facebook groups that will give you an idea of activity and where to play.
