So tomorrow a friend and I will be doing something so very wrong that it feels oh so right. We decided for kicks and giggles we would play a huge game were we field all of our ships. My entire collection versus his entire collection. 15 ships each something in the 600 point range. But here is the naughty part we collect both factions so I will be flying yt's alongside decimators and defenders in the same flanking squad as a wings. It's so wrong but I don't want to be right. We are keeping all the faction specific upgrades to the factions they being too but other than that we are going with a pirate story. All the ships in our armadas belong to bounty hunters and crime lots, smugglers and thieves, and one crew crossed the line with another crew and it's all out war. Thoughts?

Big games are always fun so go for it-be interesting to see how it pans out. I bet there'll be some cross faction combos that are awesome!

Just a thought but if you want to stick to your scumbag "bring what you nicked" demolition derby theme maybe you should ignore all unique pilot skills? (Although I don't suppose including them would be a total theme killer, it's fair to assume other pilots in the galaxy have skills that essentially give them a similar skill outcome to the named guys/girls)

Just be glad you don't have the same kind of collection as some I've seen on here-you'd never get beyond set-up before you were out of time

I think a write up would be a must mind you...!!

Im thinking I'll def be doing some kind of write up the game is going to probably take close to ten hours though do to the fact that my friend is very slow in his decision making process. He's not stalling mind you, he plays everything that way he is super smart and he analyzes everything. Chess, checkers, risk, the guy is always 6 moves down the game. The only reason I ever win x wing against him is he has a horrible time judging if he needs a bank 2 or 3 to squeeze that ship in between those asteroids. Poor spacial judgment for him makes for wins for me I would really hate to play with him if we had some of the collections I have seen lol

By 'breaking the most holy of rules' I thought you were going to mix X-Wing with Star Trek Attack Wing and D&D Attack Wing

... maybe fighting giant space dragon monsters with your X-Wings would be fun, btw...

Fetch the cordwood we have a heretic to burn!

I'll bet he weighs less than a duck!

thinking that a ysanne/3po c ombo on a deci would be gold..lol

If you use too many special pilots, you won't remember the rules for them. I say stick to generics.

It's only 15 ships, I'm honestly curious how he'll get 600 points out of that unless he's flying nothing but the best pilots for each ship.

I had a similar game a coup,e of months ago - albeit faction specific.

There were roughly 16-17 ships per side and both sides fielded the cheapest generic pilots for each ship. The only upgrades were ion cannon turrets on the Ys and HWKs to balance up the points a bit.

Both sides came to about 450 points, so the OP would have to be fielding named pilots with upgrades to be getting up to 600 points - good luck in remembering to use all the skills and upgrades!

Having said that it was the most fun I've had over 6 hours for quite a while.

PS the Rebels won and the Phantom face-planted on an asteroid!

We ONLY play 500 plus games...

LOVE IT.

Tomarrow we are doing a 3 v 3 1000 vs 1000 point game (333pts per player)

Wasn't that a thing in Masters of Orion/MOO2?

pictures and BATREP please.

Only if he uses Kenkirk and waits a bit. 3PO can't trigger if you aren't rolling any dice, so he'd have to be at range 3 or have Kenkirk's ability up to get any use out of it. After that it would be insane.

Howlrunner plus Ethan plus swarm. The anti decimator.

Jonus plus biggs plus hlc b wings.

Heh, setting up alone would take half a day in my case

Edit: I just counted, 103 ships.

Grand total of 377 points ended up being a lot smaller than we were thinking because we started late and my wife (who insisted I play because me and my friend took off with for this) had the stomach flu and my 7 month old daughter was throwing up too.

Aside from feeling guilty about playing, the game was great I don't remember what upgrades he was running but he was flying a vt, Z, phantom, shuttle, A,B,firespray, 2400, all named pilots, decked out to the teeth with upgrades. First two turns were moving, turn three first shot was fired, my A,defender,Biggs,keyan flying in formation unloaded their payloads on the decimator cutting it down to 6 hp. His shuttle and decimator put a hurting on Biggs but i escape with my hull points intact. He then fired with the firespray and b wing at range 3 of my decimator and wiffed. Turn 4 first blood was my A wing who had been ionized the turn before. Turn 5 I damaged his ships really well but killed nothing and lost Biggs, my shuttle lost a few shields. Turn 6 and hour 5 and a half we needed things to pick up so we house ruled a meteor shower. We rolled 3 attack dice for every ship we had and suffered whatever damage we rolled. I lost a full health tie and my shuttle. B wing lost all remaining shields and decimator would have died if not for determination saving me from 3 crits. He lost all his shield on everything. Successful meteor shower last turn my almost full health yt's, what was left of my decimator and mauler rolled like machines and destroyed what was left of his fleet. All in all it was an amazing experience. 6 hours total just amazing
