    Ok let me clarify, no the talisman does not actually force you to break all 5, however when do you ever try to win the game by attacking the stronghold with less than it takes to break it?

    Example: you are playing Lion, I'm playing Unicorn.  We trade back.and forth breaking each other's non stronghold provinces.  We have both broken 3 if each other's non stronghold provinces. You have the first player token and you declare an attack against my stronghold.  I use the talisman to move the battle to my last unbroken non-stronghold province.  You break it but do not win the game.......giving me an opportunity to break your Stronghold.

     

    You have to be the attacking player to use it though...so this doesn't work. If I am attacking the unicorn player they cannot move the conflict.

    I have always struggled with that bit. Basically crashing into a formation, without taking a whole bunch of shots from the formation itself.

    I guess if you hit it at an angle you can close off a direction for them to turn especially if they have a rock on the other side and avoid one or two arcs in the process?

    I usually want to come in from an angle on them as that is when a formation can get a little wonky plus it leaves you the option to turn and strafe instead of splitting if you don't like the engagement. I aim to get just outside the range 3 or possibly just inside so only 1 or 2 of them can get a shot. You are going to take shots doing this so if you think they can alpha you off the board with their group then obviously find another tactic, but after that initial engagement (which you can hopefully lessen with a bump and kylo blind) you will have the turret advantage and ideally a split squadron that will lose a lot of bite by themselves.

     

    This is also against formations I would see nowadays which aren't 8 man swarms. If there are more then 4 ships I would probably just strafe them around rocks.

    I've play a lot of RAC and another wonderful ace to pair him with is backdraft. It takes a bit to learn how to use his critting rear shot, but once you have his flying figured out he is a great compliment to RAC/kylo. I personally prefer Kylo/Captive/Gunner when I run RAC.

    Bit of advice I would offer which is more of a personal playstyle, but if they are running ships in formation then fly aggressively at their center (need to get a bump in) and Rac's size will usually make them have to split up their squad. Your maneuverability with EU and your ace sitting back should be able to let you get some isolated shots on one of the side afterwards. Bit of a risk, if you screw up the approach then RAC may melt but worth learning.

    Swarm fighter (title 0 or 1 point) (Tie only)

    When attacking an enemy ship with your primary weapon if that ship has been attacked by another swarm fighter this round, reduce its agility by 1 for this attack.

    You may only equip this title on ships with less than 3 primary attack dice.

    Keeps from being too strong against 0 agility ships which already have it rough against a swarm while making your reds more effective against everything else.

    Just to note something here: with 2 FCS Phantoms, statistically you should be averaging at least one Crit per round.

    Statistically, yes. But not getting the crit off when you need it can really really hurt which is a lot to leave to that chance. I mean when rolling 5 greens I should see an evade too, but I've blanked out enough to not count on it.

    I played against this yesterday, it was a neat concept. You like dormitz shenanigans more than I do. Against a better pilot than me you may hit some more troubles (like someone playing into the alpha when using teroch instead of hitting range two).

    I personally would rather use the dormitz points to have a bully that runs with the ships instead of behind. He got one relevant round of shooting then was stressed and maneuvering the rest of the game. Overall seemed a pricey gimmick.

    You flew it really well though.

    Mobile spelling sucks

    Can we please cut back on the number of nerf/whining threads? Growing a player base is not great when half of the board is taken up by people crying nerf and others arguing with them.

    Maybe we can try to relegate balance discussions to a particular day maybe? How about we collectively cry on Wednesdays and the other days we discuss actually interesting topics?

    Ups is fun even if you don't load it up with all the jank. ran the starslapping bassist with just palpatine ,ryad and pure sabbac last night. Coordinate is awesomesauce. and a palp carrier that can fight is icing on its floppy winged cake.

    I was the one playing him, was a pretty scary thing for palp to be able to return fire. Gives him teeth and maneuverability for some extra points. I want to see a couple of these stripped down in a list.
