Im laughing at this and smiling a cheshire grin....this is just so wrong thats its funny :)

My only issue with this (and it is hilarious) is that it is taking us away from classic OT ships. There were no swarms of TIE/Adv. I kind of wish we saw more straight up battles of small base ships from the OT in the proportions they appeared in-universe.

That being said, I'm not against this at all. It's hilarious. What's the closest Rebel equivalent? 12 Refit A-wings? Would they even stand a chance?

Star Wars means different things to different people. For example my first memorable exposure was X-Wing.

I guess that's why my favorite ships are the Tie Avenger and Tie Defender and things like the E-wing and Phantom don't bother me.

That being said, I'm not against this at all. It's hilarious. What's the closest Rebel equivalent? 12 Refit A-wings? Would they even stand a chance?

Yes, because they would fly circles around the TIE's

For the record you only need 2 Raiders I believe 4 Titles are in the pack

Someone definitely has to play this game at some point. Proxy the upgrades, and then...bam. Advanced VS Y-wing.

Hell I'll play one side. What state you guys in?

Y-Wings for the WIN... now. But it would be a cool fight.

^_^

Yup just checked real good, and there are four cards for TIE-A.

:lol:

When the rebel transport came out there were 3 copies of the flechete torpedoes. I don't think you would need to buy 4 raiders to get the 4 advanced targeting computers. It looks like 1 would get you 4 of them. Also if you are going to try an epic squadron I am sure you would include at least 1 raider which would likely take up at least 100 of the 300 points epic limit. 1 Raider pack and 3 Tie Advance expansion packs should fill out an Imperial Epic squadron squadron nicely.

Seriously???

Did you see Phantoms in the OT? Maybe you saw lots of Firesprays (I bet you even saw it when it was referred to as a Firespray in the movie dialog too). Heck, I bet you enjoyed seeing YT-2400s, Defenders, E-Wings, and HWKs too.

Dude you don't need that to kill a Corvette and a transport. Especially the corvette is really bad... Except against the Decimator where it will really hurt face...

Im totally with you on this.

My personal collection for 'home games' is lots of mass production small ships and 'sensible' numbers of the rarer ones.

I only had one tie advanced for vader but with the new cards i might run an 'elite' wing of three (vader and two wingmen) or four.

As you can see in my sig i've only really got one of each of the large ships (except the firespray as one is repainted as kath scarlet) as i like to use those as characters in the films... for our scenarios the YT1300 is nearly always the falcon with either chewy, han or lando flying.. I know it works for some people but to me a two (or in bigger games) three YT1300 game woudl just feel a bit wierd .... i know its a stock freighter design but you never saw another one in the films so i dont like seeing two in the game. Personal preference.

I've recently been playing a lot of the old tie fighter game and also tried out an e wing (which i used to hate) and loved it.

So i've recently bought a 'late war' flight or three or four of each of those.

To me a flight of four tie advanced would be characterful.

Eight or more might be a bit wierd but i do get the humour of the original list

Just 'representing' narrative play again here.

You could do with a few more Lambda's though, for scenario play as well as regular awesomeness. :P.

Quick scenario, more than 100 points.

Three Lambda's, each with a crew member of sorts, one must be Rebel Captive (or a named unique rebel crew member), this is hidden info until the opponent gets at range one and performs a scan action identifying both pilot and crew. Sundry low key esscorts.

Disable the prison transport and rescue the prisoner by docking with a large ship before he can hyper away from the far end of the field or reinforcements show up (this is where the Raider will do nicely, with two Defenders or Advanceds, very TIE Fighter gamish) to make life harder.

For the record you only need 2 Raiders I believe 4 Titles are in the pack

4 * 2 != 12

Oh I just saw 8 TIE Advanceds and thought that's how many you were thinking of running, I didn't actually bother counting how many you put in your post

Where are the three raiders?

Where are the three raiders?

On another mission, destroying a high value target while the Rebels are distracted by the Advanceds.

Excellent. I love it when a plan comes together.

It's a huge galaxy, though. There are literally tens of millions of inhabited systems. You see about 8 systems in the OT. I did the math, that represents 0.000012% of everything the Empire considers under its control.

I think a case could be made for the Empire producing test runs of a few hundred or thousand TIE/Adv and not considering that to be full production. There's also some precedent already set with Storm squadron.

I'm all for recreating OT battles in the nearest on-screen proportions, but I think it's okay to factor for stuff off-screen, too.

Dude you don't need that to kill a Corvette and a transport. Especially the corvette is really bad... Except against the Decimator where it will really hurt face...

The Corvette is the best ship in the game 4 guns can recover sheilds and ram ships off the board. But you must fly Roak to boost him to PS 12 and dont double attack with Quad Lasers just because you can wait till you have a target lock for a more effective attack and if you use Single turbo lasers you deserve to lose IMO
