SpikeSpiegel 2,077 Posted August 18, 2015 ...OF THE AWESOME 500 POINT GAME THAT HAPPENED LAST FRIDAY!!!!! Talk of the supposedly new Core Set is cool and all, but I'm still oogling over how awesome the Raider is. I mean, it's a freakin' home-brewed wedge WITH INTERCEPTOR WINGS. Not only that, Emperor Palpatine and Tarkin kick some major ass in this game. And I really enjoy the TIE Advanced upgrades, they really needed the firepower boost to be viable. Also, upping the game to 500 points really lets you kit out an Epic ship and have enough points left over for the small fighters to add that cinematic feel of a large-scale skirmish among squadrons. I also love how epic ships play out against each other, launching salvos of heavy laser fire at the enemy corvette and the defensive lasers at the smaller ships strafing it. May be just me, but I enjoy it so much more than Standard and Escalation. My buddy (L0STHER0) and I are probably going to organize something crazier in the future, like a 3,000 point game. 1,500 vs. 1,500, or maybe 1,000 x 3 between the three factions if someone can cram enough Scum into 1,000 points. Bigger games are always better. And yeah, you may have been click-baited or duped or tricked into clicking on this thread. I hope you felt a bit of self-righteous rage/annoyance/facepalming when you read the title. Oh well. 25 KCDodger, X Wing Nut, TasteTheRainbow and 22 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greggoman 19 Posted August 18, 2015 How did the raider fare in this game? Did you get to have it broadside off with the corvette? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piratefly 313 Posted August 18, 2015 Love this. We have our casual tournament day this saturday. I hope to get thru it and still have enough time to do a full epic game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeSpiegel 2,077 Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks for the compliments! I'll be uploading more pics soon! You took a Decimator to an epic game? You're braver than I thought! Yep. Those Single Turbolasers wrecked it hard. I'm curious... with 500 points - did it take about 5 hours?This is my question also. It took 5 hours to get through 5 turns. We had to end it since the store owner was closing up shop. My opponent nabbed the Decimator and a handful of TIEs, while I managed to destroy his Y-Wings and Fore section of the CR. it was going to be a close game! 1 Zephaus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpikeSpiegel 2,077 Posted August 18, 2015 500 a side or total? Per side. We also did a 550 per side game, but you had to use 50 points for ordnance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
