One copy of bomb? How am i suposed to use the new torp slot card?

By tadaka, in X-Wing

So I put out cluster bomb. Spend token on card and I have to wait for them to hit all 3 before I can put out a new bomb because we only get one copy of the cluster markers to put on the board? This seam odd to any one else? Worse yet wanting to arm a ship with 2 copy = we have to buy 4 of the punisher?

Yeah I suppose they assume people are going to buy more than 1 anyway. If you want to run a list with dual bombers/punishers/etc using cluster bombs and extra munitions I hope you buy 4 publishers lol.

I've been considering starting a fourth myself, it feels like a topic with depth that we really can sink our teeth into and do something about, given all the facts we posses.

Well, for a while you needed to buy as many Firesprays as you wanted Proximity Mines. It may take a year, but they'll probably release another ship that comes with them just like they did with the Proximity Mines.

I think each of us should start a post that duplicates every other post that we see. It'll be awesome.

Fly casual lol

Use a photocopier to make some (or use toffee wrappers) and scream at anyone who wants 'official mines', telling them you are too poor because you have to spend money on Armada and Assault as well.

Did the second reply really need to be QQ

It's great that you have so much free time that you can read all the threads about everything but most of us don't have the time to scroll through pages and pages of topics to check that something has/hasn't been posted about.

OP yeah that is a good point.

This is kinda like the IG2000 where you need two to get all the use out of it.

You will need to get two of the interdictor and K-wing to get full use out of the bombs.

Im fine with that as I auto buy two of everything anyway.

Yes my wallet shall bleed even more.

**** you FFG for making so much cool stuffs that I must haves

It was a post i had to have aproved before it would go up. I agree however its not needed and can be closed.

Interesting. I don't remember needing approval for my first couple posts on the board. I wonder if that's security they have implemented to try and deal with the spam bots.

How about just use the search function at the top..

Also... companies will be making acrylic tokens for these.. stop whining about.. 'oh no I won't have enough tokens for my bombs' .. its been a couple of days and already the WHINING is getting OLD....!!!!!

Christ on a stick people.. there will be tokens.. just stop the whining.. FFG has made a good priduct and we will have what we need...

it is a 2 point discount off of double proton torpedoes and 4 points off double APTs. 8 points drops to 6 while 12 drop to 8.

With the slave 1 title firesprays can copy their missile and bomb weapons.

Y wings can go double bombs now.

Tie bombers now hold 2 torpedoes 4 missiles and 2 bombs. saving a lot of points for a fully loaded Tie Bomber.

No doubt the K-wings and Tie Punisher/Interdector will have the most benefit from these cards but it still helps out a lot of others. Now will it help out enough to make the point expenditure on torpedoes and missiles viable? That remains to be seen, as of now I don't see anything that will make a Tie Bomber the new Whisper/Han.

I was hoping they would do something like that.

Some days entire pages were nothing but spam

I don't think Extra Munitions works on Slave-1 torps, because the card uses the only torp slot. It will give two bombs though.

I hope they will provide TO's with a few extra bomb templates, which they can then also use as prizes. Doesn't have to be acrylic for just a normal tournament, just the cardboard versions are fine and would help a lot.

Are acrylic bomb tokens legal for tournament play?

I've only been in local tournies, but no one has made me use the cardboard tokens.. I have Cog 'o 2 tokens I use...

No

Third-party tokens are legal. Bomb tokens are tokens. So yes.

In casual play, you can use proxies. In tournament play, you're going to need something more appropriate - an official token or a third-party token matching the official size.
