That strange feeling when...

The RSS reader tells you that your favorite X-Wing blog has a new post, and you click on it all excited, and then remember that you wrote the article.

I did a guest post for The Metal Bikini. The post is called "Against Marksmanship", and is about my deep and abiding love of pizza a summary of why you should skip this EPT.

Nice article. I disagree with Calculation being very situational though, I think it is a very cheap boost for 2-attack ships.

Marksmanship is just one of those things to tinker with and has been downgraded consistently with new upgrades coming out.

nice article man, I like the analysis and comparatives you did; I'm kinda in the same boat, when I started playing X-Wing (about 2 years ago), Marksmanship was one of my favorite cards until I started to get the expansion ships and cards and understood the game a little bit better, now it's just a nice and naive memory

BSP are going to be 15 points in my head now. 14 point base and 1 point for Calculation. How often do you roll hit/focus in a Tie. Being able to convert that focus into a crit is going to be a nice boost in offense.

Markmanship isn't a bad EPT, but it is compared to the majority of the other 3 point EPTs. If it was 2 points, I could see you fitting it in a bit more. Now with all the stuff that can cause crits, Markmanship becomes even more useless.

I like the other guy better.

Whats an rss?

Me too, man, me too.

Nice write-up. I'd like to add that Marek Stele with a Cluster Missile, will also greatly benefit from Marksmanship more-so than your average pilot.

That's a good point, I'd forgotten about Cluster Missiles in my list of 2 attack rounds. Granted, you only get that attack once a game. :/

For now... wait until Wave 7...
