My sons and I were watching SW Ep IV last night (Theatrical Release DVD ftw!) and one commented:

"You know, in X Wing, Darth Vader can't one-shot a Y-Wing like that!"

Needs fixing, FFG!

In X-wing's defense, can anything 1-shot a Y wing?

Keyan Farlander with Opportunist, HLC, and a target lock, plus a buff from Jan Ors, rolls 6 dice. If you use the target lock to reroll two blank results into crits, and both of them turn out to be Direct Hits, you could OHKO a Y-wing.

Maarek + VI + Engine Upgrade + Proton Rocket could 1 shot Whisper. His ability is actually useful in this case, as 5 dice has good odds of rolling at least 1 crit- and choosing from 3 crit cards gives good odds of getting at least 1 direct hit.

I'm not saying this is the best use of 1/3 of an imperial list. But it's a case where non-Vader Advanced isn't stupid. :/

I like Tempests with Proton Rockets.

Couple of them can make A fun high speed Alpha strike that can do some Solid Damage and leave chaos for a Phantom to tidy up. Hit and run.

I think we need a sticky named: THE TIE ADVANCED SUCKS: Deal with it.

They need to get their confirmed Tie-A help/fix out ASAP.

The tv show rebels Gozanti cruiser + Inquisitors tie advanced release will restore balance to the force. No interest in the show but if it fixes the advanced good on it.

I believe Vader should be immune to Stress as hes "more machine then man, twisted and evil" and up the base cost for him from 29 to 32 but still have his 2 action's. I know this might make him over powered by hey hes Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith.
