Since I'm the proud new owner of a bunch of extra cheap TIE Advanced ships thanks to that amazing sale yesterday, I figured I'd put this together.

I'm assuming Jonus's ability will work with with EACH of the cluster missiles fired, so up to twelve dice rerolled on turn 2's crazy alpha strike!

It does work as you say. You better hope you do some damage with the Alpha Strike though as after that you are in for a rough time.....

Yeah, cluster missles are 2 separate attacks, so it applies each time.

Consider yourself lucky, I completely missed out. Enjoy your ships!

These kinds of lists are so much fun to play! Big risk, but epic when they work. I've done something similar with the A-wing.

Yeah against a falcon list I coudl see us taking out the falcon right away with this. Even if it fails, i have never lost so I'm eager to actually field a list that loses.

Never have I read a post more in tune to a pure love for this game than this. Crabbok looks forward to the fun of losing a game of X-wing for the sheer joy of the experience.

Thank you for reminding us that this is a game, and we should be having fun while pushing our little Star Wars miniatures around the table. My inner 10 year old wants to give you a high-five. :D

You are seriously my favourite person here. You and Khyros are my bros <3

It's one of those things... if they all roll blanks you're hosed. If you roll all hits they're hosed. It really demonstrates how the Advanced is just a few points too many. If you had an extra 6 or so points on this list for upgrades I think you could make a pretty big splash downgrading one advanced to a bomber and Academy for an extra ship and the same alpha strike (bigger actually) and more HP.

Yeah I got worked by this list on Vassal. I had Kyle supporting 2 Blues with APTs. He managed to get into range 2 with one of his ships, unload his missiles, then barrel roll out of arc so the other two Advanced could shoot my two B-wings at range 2. Didn't get a single APT off. It was tragic!

I'm sorry but that's true of every single list in the game. I won't argue the merits an flaws of the advance but please don't try to use that as a reason to say it's a bad ship. The odds are against anything other than a y-wing, b-wing, an advance itself, a bomber or a large base walking away from those clusters with more than one or two hull left if Jonus is in range when they shoot. And from the point on they should have enough headway to mop up with at least some efficiency. Might not be world class but it falls into the "good enough" range.

Also... focus fire on the highest PS pilot after that..
