It also doesn't help that the DM doesn't understand the Minion rules, and each tie fighter pilot is basically as good as I am. ಠ_ಠ

......wow.... congrats on not being dead yet dude....

I'll second that Congrats on not being dead yet, especially since it sounds like your DM is treating TIE pilots as Rivals.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That is *exactly* what he's doing. He was doing the same thing with Storm Troopers until I showed him in the book where it was expressly written that Storm Troopers are minions.

That's alright though, I think we'll be able to stay a few steps ahead of him. Being able to differentiate between the chase rules and combat will help a lot, along with a clearer understanding of how to spend successes in combat.

*Special thanks to Ghostofman; your posts across these forums have helped quite a bit. I won't forget to angle the deflectors!
