Best GenCon guess???

By patox, in X-Wing

At the start of the combat phase, all ships within range 1 of jar jar gain a stress token, including the ship he is on. The ship he is on is also dealt 1 damage card.

I swear, this is exactly what some clones did in a clone wars episode. Deliberately sent JJ into a group of bad guys because they new he would cause a massive distraction and accidentally destroy the tank he was put on.

It was a win-win: either he'd distract the enemy and wreck everything, or he'd be killed.

Action Transport with 100% confidence.

Gozanti Cruiser with 50 % confidence.

Lancer Frigate 25%confidence.

Vigil Class Corvette 1% confidence.

You may treat the ship this card is equipped on as an enemy ship. Once per round, if an attacker hits, the attacker may remove one stress from their ship to immediately make another attack.

ok, throwing my hat in the ring

New Terrain:

Mines (the ones from TIE fighter PC games) Imperial only

Ships:

Imperials will get the space trooper transport that will drop space trooper tokens just like mines

System patrol craft (Imperial Epic ship)

I also see an aces pack that will include 1 ship from each faction, call it "X-wing Aces, Rivals" they will include either of these 2 sets:

set 1 = TIE Advanced + Y-Wing

Set 2 = TIE fighter + X-Wing

I also predict new campaign sets:

Battle of Yavin = 2 TIE fighters + 1 TIE advanced + 1 X-Wing + 1 Y-Wing and a death star map

Battle of Endor = 1 TIE bomber + 2 TIE interceptors + 1 B-Wing + 2 A-Wings + game mat with picture of battle raging around Death Star and debris tokens

also I predict that we will see new ships that will be seen for the first time in the new series REBELS that will air on DisneyXD

Ships:

Imperials will get the space trooper transport that will drop space trooper tokens just like mines

I would love this. Don't think it will happen, but it would be AWESOME.

We'll see one thing for certain: VT-49 and YT-2400 fappage.

As for speculation, what I truly believe? We're going to see a peek at wave 6, with Rebels so close.

I Predict The VCX-100, Phantom, TIE Starfighter, and Gozanti- each bundled together respectively for purchase incentive. I suspect that it'll be the second, "Two package" wave, while still being four units.

And that's that. Either way, chances are we'll see the Gozanti, rebels or not.

Stop trying to make REBELS happen, it's not going to happen...

I predict that a new box set call Rebel Aces II will be previewed. It will contain a flame detailed Y-Wing with the Quad Ion Cannon Turret upgrade. There will also be a much needed update to the Z-95, it will come with a Mara Jade pilot card for the Rebels.

I would like to see Imps get tie droids and Rebels to get y-ties.

Tie droid 2-3-3-0, TL action only, unaffected by stress, pilot card variances could be differentiated by addition of actions, base 10 points.

Y-tie 2-2-2-0, focus, evade, multiple pilot options, base 10 points.

I like the mines from the pc game idea.

Give them 1 hull, 1 agility (they don't move, but are tiny so hard to hit), and 1 attack.

They would be small like the bombs, not large like the proximity mines.

At the end of each combat round it makes attacks against all enemy ship at range 1-3. It does this until it is destroyed.

Cost? That's trickier to decide.

Also should probably be an action to deploy same as the proximity mines.

I love the idea of TIE droids, that'd be quite fun.

The only rule for this thread is NO EDITS . If you want to make a change, make another post .

Who wants to start?

----------Edited to show summary of results.----------

Since there's no poll option, here are the early results that I've done manually:

  1. Gozanti Cruiser (10)
  2. Vigil-class corvette (6)
  3. Battle of Yavin Aces (4)
  4. VCX-100 (3)

Rebel aces for sale.

Wave 5 advanced preview.

Imperial huge ship preview.

Jar jar Binks: (4 points)

When the ship carrying this crewmember is destroyed, each ship within range 2 receives 2 faceup damage cards.

No. That would encourage people to keep JJ alive in order to avoid the damage.

Jar Jar: Modification (Special) Cost 3

Jar Jar does not count against the max number of modifications to a ship.

At the start of combat, this ship may make a SPECIAL attack that doesn't count as it's regular attack. If that attack hits, no damage is dealt, but Jar Jar is transferred to that ship.

At the end of each turn, roll 1 red die and suffer any damage or crit results.

By the way, if he screws up these movies, JJ Abrams will for ever be Jar Jar Abrams.

(I'm sure that's been said before, but it just came to me.)

Isn't that often said as a joke around here?

Many times, but he'll do fine. Of course some people won't think so.

I'm also predicting the Vigil will be on 3 large ship bases. 2 side-by-side in the back and 1 in front.

They've announced Wave 5.

They've announced Armada.

What is left for GenCon? It must be pretty spectacular. I cannot imagine why they wouldn't wait to announce these Star Wars products at GenCon, unless they have something completely mind-blowing.

First, I'm personally pretty excited to find out what they announce, but I suppose whether it will qualify as "completely mind-blowing" depends on the degree of blowing necessary for a particular mind.

Second, the Armada announcement wants people to come to the FFG booth to try out the game. They're building steam for it in a way they just don't need to for X-wing any more.

I'm unsure now. I'm hoping FFG will have something new and shiny to show us at GenCon, but I wonder if they've already done that with Armada. It could be the big focus for them.

I suspect so. This announcement is only a few days before the con and is clearly meant to drive traffic to their booth during the show. We'll probably still get a preview of Imp huge ships, but everyone (EVERYONE) is going to be focused on this. If they tried to reveal something else it would jst get swamped.

My guess of wave IV on sale, Wave V on demo, no imperial huge ships and no x-wing announcement is looking good.

Possibly they give away some copies of Armada to winners of games at the con.. it's been done before..

There is an aire that they might have bigger and better stuff for the con....

We shall see...

The "pending license approval" bit about the range ruler suggests they won't have copies to give away or sell at the con.
