Hmmm. It seems you can interact with archived forums for games no longer published by FFG.

Hunt rolls--in the vast majority of cases--are only applied if the Free Peoples moved The Fellowship that turn. And each Nazgul leadership = 1, except for The Witch King, whose leadership = 2. Why am I replying to a topic 7 years after the fact? Another game I enjoy is being transferred from FFG to another publisher under Asmodee, much like War of the Ring prior to its 2nd edition and expansions. I'm checking to see if Forums can still be interacted with when the IP is "dead" and archived.

Excellent! As an update for you watching my ill-fated games (batrep and such to come later this busy week), not only did I roll some average stuff online that night, but I invented a training tool that simulates severely haunted greens and it works! With it forcing myself to take the first of many many steps to learn to "see the matrix" of gameflow relative to the ticking timer, I'm beginning to be weaned off hiding behind clouds and hoping for at absolute worse moderately bad results. Winning with "Ghostmode" (so long as my opponent is fine with me severely handicapping myself) is indescribably good-feeling (although the ironic bit is that with this tool I have still to roll quite like Saturday XD).

I've avoided the forums aside from this thread and checked Discord twice this week. I'm taking a break from the talking about the game, but I still aim for the tourney this weekend. Even if I don't do well, the social aspect of X-Wing is one of the best aspects.

Maybe the advocates of drinking during X-Wing are on to something: https://hoarderofgarlicbread.wordpress.com/2020/11/12/the-regrettable-update/

Full disclosure, I think the TIE/rb is neat. https://strawpoll.com/7w1wk83u8

Ah Tavison, the OP merging of Tavson and Thannison! As a sidenote, what would Tavson crew do? If Thannison crew/pilot punishes getting stressed/red/orange tokens, would Tavson just be a single recurring charge of his ability? How much would that cost, 10 pt?

Who needs a T85 when the T70 is finally doing all the cool stuff? I still want to see a chonky X-Wing though, so hoping for the T85. A game of medium base X Wings and TIE fighters will be funny. Sumo-wing?

Except Suppressive Gunner is a mod and Snapshot doesn't let you mod.

Considering that with the R4 droid that Poe is essentially SLAMing every turn, might I propose we refer to Overdrive Poe as a GunPoet (pronounced like "Gunboat", not "Gun-poet")? What sayeth @gennataos?

Hot take: The new WSO gunner will be too expensive to spam effectively, especially when most factions can get around its need. As previously discussed, it'll be great on single ships like a Torpedo Dengar with Jango crew and False Codes. But it's not worth spamming it in a world of passive sensors, targeting sync, lock sharing, or early locks.

The king is dead. Long live the...chaos? https://hoarderofgarlicbread.wordpress.com/2020/10/30/emergency-nerf/

I saw a Facebook post by FFG that vaguely talked about Jango's Firespray. Don't get angry! The move was ultra thematic! Dooku hires Jango to hire Zam to assassinate Padmé. Continuing the theme of 2 degrees of separation for a task, FFG Facebook teases at an FFG article that teases for the Firespray!

I said when shooting at Jedi

Today, we find out if there is a convincing enough argument against slapping Dooku to Jango and calling it a day, especially when shooting at Jedi and Dooku'ing a focus.

F's in the chat, boys. I suck at this game. https://hoarderofgarlicbread.wordpress.com/2020/10/27/dont-let-it-get-to-you/

Very nice! I saw Outmaneuver on Rex and immediately thought "what? No Lone Wolf?" before looking back and seeing it on Soontir. With a 25 pt bid, do you think it safe enough to cash some of it for a missile like Mag Pulse Warheads? 19 pt still outbids even Niklas God's Ryloth list, which is probably the deepest bid out there.

Eh. Plato did when he had his representation of Socrates wise by knowing how little he knew and thus being uncharacteristically immune for any of the characters to the Dunning Kruger effect. Once again, all Western philosophy is footnotes to Plato!

To be honest, there's a lot of projecting and assuming going on in these forums. To not sound negative, I will say that the booster engines + I5 ship ability is a neat synergy. SLAM or shoot? Get the info then decide in system and git that Jedi!

Nice disruption of CLT, although Republic is so full of mods. He'll mainly be a better version of Vermiel, which is good, but not as impressive as I6. Against evadeless Jedi/Vader trying to escape him? He'll hit like a freight train even without Juke. Or he'll pose that threat to those ships wanting to perform a white maneuver so they have to do something else. A subtle, but situational interaction I call "The Vonreg Effect."

@gennataos Will Overdrive Thrusters be good on Daredevil Nien? I know they'll be good on old Poe, but a Nien who could end over three bases away from a position and rotated 90* without stress seems cool. Will he have to be locked by M9G8 to be worth it? With Pattern Analyzer you could focus and double reposition as per the usual, but now your options are expanded.

Alright, Fort Hyperspace. Your time has come.

When the I6 is away, the Supreme Leader is out to play: https://hoarderofgarlicbread.wordpress.com/2020/10/19/third-times-the-charm/

Sorry for the sloppy stream game. I was tired as **** from a quick errand, a 9.5 hour shift, playing Counterstrike to not risk sleeping through it all only for a possible 2.5 hours of sleep, and then the X-Wing. I can handle a bunch of X-Wing, but not on top of that stuff beforehand. I was paired against something I was hard countering so it's not like I was going to lose it anyway. Incidentally, my loss came from my 2nd game of Spamtex. As per the simulations, practice, and the precedent set by Round1, I traded Vonreg for at least 2.5 bugs. Danced around so they can't get me, etc. etc. Lazily dialed the 5 forward instead of the 4 forward or the 3 bank, and used autos to dodge arcs. The positioning was such that the subsequent roll + hard turn drove me off the mat by a few pixels. Goodbye full HP untouchable point fortress. On the brightside, Kylo got halved only once and never destroyed. But I suppose fleeing off the board is embarrassing. The matchup gods have blessed me with not facing certain I6's, let alone any I6. More bonuses to the 5-1 finish as opposed to being 6-0 is that people will complain slightly less about Supernat Kylo being the bug killer of the week and how cancerous he is. But hey, since this is a Polish tournament, it's like the Witcher: you need to make a monster to kill the monsters only to realize that many of the monsters are actually OK and that the real monsters are the people who ***** about monsters, such as the monster created to fight the OG monster. Tagging @pyoinator and @ToiletPaper Fiend because I am far too tired to be bothered to text with my thumbs. Staying awake for announcements and then sleeping.

That's a very good definition. Far more concrete than most, and certainly more than my nebulous definition.
