I just got mine and my wife's birthday is this weekend. So I just have to look at them in their cases.

Was wondering when we might see some battle reports using them online?

I will be away until next friday, I'm dying to see some reports or action reports even.

Thanks,

I play with

Carnor Jax Ptl Shield/Hull Upgrade

2x Royal Guard with PTL Shield/Hull Upgrade

It is a beast to play with and obnoxiously fun. Aside from YT1300, the squad tears ships apart.

The added hull/shield make them an x-wing +1 agi and boost/barrel roll. Carnor negates enemy actions and denies blaster turrets making HWK or Y's with them obsolete.

Being able to survive that first pass is imperative and its easy if you do it correctly. You can even be bold and stay in a firing arc for a turn if there isn't a better option.

Nice! I like that list.

I lost both games I played against Aces, but that's not saying much as I rarely win this game. (I won last weekend, before that I hadn't won since October -- and I usually play once or twice a week).

I forget the details, but involved all interceptors except for Howlrunner, and all but one had stealth devices.

Interceptors are very hard to deal with in general. I hear them described as glass cannons, but they're really not. WIth SD they're incredibly difficult to take down.

Carnor Jax is also extremely annoying, most of the time I couldn't spend focii, which made it very difficult to do anything offensively. Battle 1 I screwed up the opening, as the asteroids were deployed in a way that divided the space north-to-south, so that the line of asteroids were perpindicular to my horizontal edge of the mat. The x-wings went up one side, and the ORS and a-wing went up the other. My opponent went after the ORS and a-wing, and my x-wings were isolated for 2-3 rounds. That was enough time for her to finish off those two ships, and by though my x-wings managed to take down one alpha squadron pilot, I folded after she destroyed two of my x-wings.

I'm now considering whether I should buy a second falcon to try to counter...

I still haven't got mine... :-( so I await your batreps eagerly as well.
