Anyone tried them yet? Imperial or rebel. I'm intrested to know what happens when two VSDs go head to head.

Not that I have played a mirrow yet but there is a risk of the game becoming a game of Yatzee. Especially if both players only have 1 core and 180 points.

With so many people seeming to have 2+ cores, I assumed it would have happened by now.

Well, it would only be 'yahtzee' if both sucked and sucked equally...lol

I have not done rebel on rebel as I am an Imperial player. But I have done Imp on Imp. He has to be really careful with his squadrons because I am set up to kill x wings quickly, so if he is not experienced at fighter combat, his ties will die even more quickly and VSDs can't defend themselves.

Its hard to say about maneuvers because the likely situation with Imp v Imp is minefield, as hyper and advanced guns are too deadly to give up and experienced players will know that. So, the minefield/obstacle area is where the squadron combat gets played out and it becomes about better use of squadrons and upgrades. This is a fight where I really like the VSD 1 less as a fighter win and blue dice will gain me the upper hand vs his VSD 1s before they can shoot hard.

Any plausible setup in which mixed forces of reb and imp ships collide? I mean, the Neb and the corvette both have been used by the empire as well, so that should fit - for a reb SD you could argue it is a highjacked one, which could also explain few TIEs on the reb side. Or maybe just keep the starfighters faction-only? Anyway, could be a nice match having corvettes chasing each other while SDs exchange broadsides. Unique commanders and officers to keep faction specific, of cause.
