    WOW!!!! I wish I had that level of popularity. . . ^_~ Edited May 5, 2016 by Lyraeus

    with sloane they can already be taken apart by few squadrons. an tie interceptor with flight controllers can one shot them by using AS. I kinda like it still but it is probably way too power.

    I have the perfect solution. It eliminates and equalizes the whole uneven activations making them equal, as well as ensure no matter what the bid each player has an equal chance to be first player. Finally if also eliminates slow play as a nice side effect so every game is played to completion. Each table flips a coin. One side is heads, the other is tails. Winner of the coin toss wins the conflict. Tally

    potentially. 2 Lambdas lets you increase the threat of the alpha. I use a big pusher but after that 2 at a time seems fine. we will see thursday i guess. I really don't like the quasar and for the points you can almost get 3 more activations.

    One of each to start with, I'll use those to figure my strategy and how many I think I need.

    Again, I'm just brought back to quality over quantity... Being able to swing a mass of squads, (especially swarm fighters) mixed in with FC and howl.... it's a powerful combo... how good are relay squads if you lose 3-4 of them in a single round.... especially if the squads the quasar is pushing all have counter values and many have scatters? IDK... It's been my experience that Mass alpha beats out

    For me, it'll matte rhow much I have to pay in "Over the Border" Taxes before I decide... 1 of each is a Minimum... (I should be able to skip lunches for a couple of weeks to pay for that much)... But anything more will probably need a serious commission.

    Maybe it means something else in table top gaming than I'm used to from video games but "Git Gud" is almost always used in a derisive manner there. Cowboy's definitely not saying he can't win I think he's saying the game is losing steam for him because so many people (and maybe this is just a local meta problem) are running 6 and 7 activations killing 1 squadron or 1 small

    The deadly pickles I've seen usually have to pick between guaranteeing activation advantage and having a squadron screen worth of the term. In those cases, Sloane with a FC Quasar tends to tear through the screen, and strip the tokens off the death pickle it's relying on to survive. I recommend Defenders over Super-Friends but YMMV. Just be sure to have an ISD waiting in the wings to clean up.

    Well, you'll have to read our article when it is released. Can't give all the fun away. We've learned something from FF afterall. But a teaser: board game geek has an accurate list of casual members with Armada collections and very easy to conduct random sampling. Couple that with a random sampling via polling of retailers and you'll see we fall within the 95% confidence interval. The methods will be posted

    Aye, spot on Idie, mate. I initially only spotted 2, but there is an aft set, so it looks like the Hammerhead's whole compliment is 3 twin-laser cannons (I'd sincerely doubt those are turbolasers given that they aren't any larger than an X-wing's cannons and no significant mounting. They may even be proportionally smaller. I mean, that's not much for firepower, and only 2 turrets look to be

    The major flgs in my area had to expand his armada space, recently, and moved it 'further up' (forward) into the store. Sales are just fine in the area, and our tournament play size has steadily grown over the last year. It's not huge, by any means, but it's certainly not dead. Given the time, cost and......cerebrealness of this game, I think that it's current success is pretty indicative of an

    No.At least for the Gozanti. That's been confirmed to have an Offensive Retrofit slot. We have no such confirmation for the GR75 at this time.

    Sigh.Look you can enjoy the game or exit stage left. No big deal, right? Some of us are kind of excited by this, y'know? So enjoy our celebrating. Take a breath. It's all good. Promise.

    Might make them too good at blocking, which isn't something I'd like to see.

    No true Scotsman would use game mechanics to beat me! His win is invalid because he had more ships and a bigger bid than me, which, based on the rules of the game I play which I consider arbitrary, means he got to use those rules to his advantage! How dare he use rules in that way, to advantage him and not me!
  18. MandalorianMoose
    I like to deploy them to where they will end up trailing the main conflict. Since they're slicing takes place after movement, they can trail bigger ships and jack them up for the next turn

    Thanks we had a game last night and didnt note that change. Ffg need to update rules book online for them

    Git Gud doesnt just mean become a good player. It means get better, always strive to be stronger. If SC can win massive tournaments etc using high activation then he can win massive tournaments using low activation. Git Gud, get stronger, get better.

    I imagine I'll get 2 of each, at least, but 3 seems like a stretch.

    Problem is that if FFG follows SOP they will include upgrades that will be good in both but only in the one faction (XI7, anyone?) So say I'm digging the repair upgrade running in 3 Gozanti Flots, I still have to buy 3 potato bug flots as well!
