A Dozen Headhunters...Glory or Folly?

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

One does not simply conquer the playfield in Epic Battle. It's black space is guarded by more that just Academy pilots. There is a Howlrunner there that does not miss. And Soontir Fel is ever watchful. it is a barren vinyl mat riddled with asteroids and tokens, the very space is Phantomous clouds. Not with dozen Headhunters could you do this. It is folly.

However acquiring a Full Squadron is GLORY! :)

Go Sean bean.

Im mean Boromir FTW!!!

In an epic game 12 would be amazing. You are at 144 points which leaves you a 156 for other wonderful things like 10 retrofit a-wings.

I have six Y-Wings too, as of this month. How cool would it be to have six Y's and six Z's in Epic?

:D

Sic 'Em Boys!

:lol:

The Alex stuff is Z's and the Ged stuff is Y's...the Neil stuff is that Corvette and/or Transport stuff!

Get After 'Em!

;)

12 Z95's with fail safe munitions and assault missiles. Now that is a nice alpha strike. It would be like playing Missile Command on Atari 2600.

Yeah it would!

:wub:

Hopefully i will get as many as Tie Fighters i have. It means at least 5.

Yup one of these days I am going to have 24 TIE too...just because I want to do a real battle in Epic. The main ships need a full squadron or two. IMO you should have at least six of the core fighter ships, in Epic.

That is my intention! I hope someday i will have over 15 fighters at each side among with the huge ships :D

Bad news for me is that i have to buy both sides as my fiancee will not buy any. :P

I say get 8, the absolute most you will ever legally be able to play.

Negative - epic play is twelve.

Yup six to twelve is the mark for all of the fighters, and from three to six for the Bombers. That is what I am getting at any rate.

I have said it before and might of been a bit of a jerk once in a while as I made the point...

I have never liked the 100 points game.

That is why I have not been posting battle reports or game videos at my blog, because it is not worth it to me.

Now Epic X-Wing is worth the time and effort to set up and play all day and record the coolness. I am working slowly but steadily at getting all of the gear to do just that.

:ph34r:

The game has grown in now into what I wanted it to be from the start!

It is only going to get better.

I've flown a 12 TIE swarm. It is a beauty to behold. :)

And I bet it looks beautiful too!

Glorious folly. Call it Quixote Squadron.

Fastest game 'evah!

12 headhunters = a Glorious Folly

:)

I already have 11 on preorder...got one from Imdahaar

You may call it folly but I will make you feel like your in a game of Missile Command on hard mode with all e missiles I will fill the air with!!!!

the best part is you can fly a complete squadron for 150 points.

Bandit Squadron X10

Bandit Squadron with Ion Pulse Missiles X2

What you need is a dozen retrofitted A-Wings from green squadron, all with push the limit! It would be GLORIOUS!

Go EPIC...or stay at home and just take a little nap.

100 points = 2 hours

50 points 30m-1h

It is hard to make a woman pay attention for all that time.

With 100 points i am setting 7-8 empire ships. With 300... well. I will be able to deploy those 12 as you said.

Maybe 4 hours of play?
