High offense Imperial list!

By Plainsman, in X-Wing

After reading the ideas in the Rexler + Ties thread, I put this list together...Thoughts!?!

I screwed up Soontir, off to make corrections! Corrections made! Whew!

I'd drop Vet Instincts from Mithel, that way he fires after Vessery with VI. You don't want to have to leave the TL token on a target just so Vessery can get benefit from it. You might replace it with Adrenaline Rush so Mithel can do a stress free K-turn. You'll also need to decide what to cut to get Push the Limit on Fel. I think any other EPT is a mistake on him.

This Imperial list is highly offensive!

>_> I'll leave now.

Mauler Mithel

- Veteran Instincts

- Targeting Computer

Soontir Fel

- Push the Limit

- Targeting Computer

Colonel Vessery

- Heavy Laser Cannon

- Veteran Instincts

- Engine Upgrade

I'm not a huge Mauler fan, although he gets better when there are higher-priority targets. Given the Soontir/Vessery combo, I'd almost rather get Mauler's extra die as a guarantee, like so:

Colonel Vessery (35)
Adrenaline Rush (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Soontir Fel (27)
Push the Limit (3)
Omicron Group Pilot (21)
Weapons Engineer (3)
ST-321 (3)
Total: 100
You could also strip the HLC from Vessery and use the points to add Hull Upgrade and Shield Upgrade to Fel. Maybe I'm showing too much of my bias with this list, because it's awfully similar to one I posted up earlier this week, but the Omicron is just such a nice pairing with Vessery...

Vessery is stronger the more ships you have on the board that can hold Target Locks and two might be a bit low. Also if you want pure fire power the Outmaneuver EPT does wonders for a HLC.

Slight tweak, but I think the list you suggest is better keeping the HCL and dropping Weapons Engineer from the OMG to get a hull on Fel (which I think is an important element).

I'm very insulted. How dare you.

:P. Is recommend dropping Vi on vessery and EU. Give soontir a hull and vessery a andrenaline rush. I think It'll help more

Alternatively give vessery predator.

Push the Limit (3)
Targeting Computer (2)
Hull Upgrade (3)
Royal Guard TIE (0)
