So sad - UK stock of some ships has been delayed ... rumors are there's some customs backlog that the V-Wings, Jango Fett and Tri-fighters dodged, but the eta-2 orders are absent nationwide. Still we are still not allowed to meet in public indoor spaces right now, so ... it's not like we can do much with the plastic other than look at it ...

I'm enjoying games with the LaaT - though people have learned fast that the way to play against a LaaT based squad is to ignore the LaaT because it is easy to kill in end game. This means needing to craft lists where the LaaT isn't a liability by either dying fast and hard, or just being an irrelevance once the end game comes. Still, it's a lot of fun, banging out rerolls left, right and centre on hard hitting ships.

I had daredevil on Ric, and R4-P and sat at 200, though I don't think I needed the mech, and a 2 point bid is probably better

Best thing about having kids is that you get to legitimately buy lego for them too ... then 'help' them build it

It's old MMO terminology for Programmed Random OCcurance ... basically when your special ability activates ... so Ric's ability 'procs' when he goes faster than the enemy ship

So I flew 7th fleet gunner LaaT with Arc/Ric/Plo and it was a completely different kettle of fish. Ric with rerolls on his shots where the ability procs is a terror. 7th Fleet gunner plus 2 rerolls and a focus, and still leaving an evade token for defence. Similar with Plo and CLT - suddenly punching 5 dice at range 1 with rerolls and focus/force is amazing. And having Plo be able to pull the disarm token off the LaaT if necessary depending on who has the better shot really helps to keep the damage ticking over. On a separate note - I've noticed that opponents are now starting to ignore the LaaT in the early engages - opting to try to take the Arcs off the board (The LaaT has no end game is the obvious reason) Not sure if it's the right strategy but rather than chain ganking the support ship, people are starting to ignore it.
