K-Wing Preview!

Huh, sure enough, the proximity mine card shows dropping it as an Action.

I did not notice that. I kept playing it the same way as Seismic Charges.

Thanks!

Can anyone translate what she's writing?

I tried with that but couldn't make out some of the letters so just got jibberish

Nevermind, it's got to be this:

Can anyone translate what she's writing?

First line: ....sial

Second line: del...

I can't make out the first few symbols and the end of the second line looks like gibberish to me.

I think it's actually ...Cial, which would likely make it "SPECIAL DELIVERY."

EDIT2: Yeah, that's got to be right http://imgur.com/cLub6Ir

Sorry, of couse it's c.. Tried to guess it in my mind, then wrote the wrong thing. Special delivery it is then!

The rumors on Twin Laser Turret were correct. Attack twice, one damage each shot. I'll be playing a lot of Y-wings from now on, more than I already have been since Scum dropped. 3 attacks per ship. 4 Y-wings. 12 attacks a turn. That's more than a TIE Swarm. No Howlrunner, obviously, and action may be too expensive, but I think it could be quite devastating. To the table!

So does bombardier mean amon can drop bombs at 1 2 and 3?

I think Eamon Azzameen + Andastra (or Slave 1 with Extra Munitions) and as many Connor Nets as you decide you need is going to be really good.

Step 1: Slap that Connor Net on someone, do a damage, slap 2 Ion tokens on them, deny their action (as good as a damage at least in and of itself)

Step 2: Do it again.

Step 3: Do it again.

All the while, you've got the rest of you ships waling on the target of the Connor Net who can only drift forward and take no actions. It's just so mean. If the target is lucky, they're getting action-less shots back, if not, they're drifting into asteroids, taking additional damage and losing shots altogether, or just drifting off the board. So awesome.

Also, 5x Scimitars with 5x Connor Nets?

They explain it in the article along with on the reference card?

"Also, because your SLAM counts as a full maneuver, it allows you to drop your Proton Bombs in the middle of your activation, right before you execute your SLAM."

I agree it does say that, but have you found any consistency in the article? Of the two images provided, one is clearly wrong (connor net example), and the second one is a stretch. How come for 1 full year going 1 forward with Ion wasn't a "full maneuver", but then this somehow is? They could have avoided this easily, just say on the card that you **** with the dial so you actually reveal it again.

Activation of a K-Wing:

1) Dial Reveal --> can drop a bomb (seismic, proton, etc).

2) Perform ordinary maneuver

3) Perform ordinary action (could be a SLAM)

4) Starts "revealing" the second movement as part of a SLAM --> can drop a bomb (seismic, proton, etc.)

5) Performs the second maneuver

6) Perform advanced SLAM free action --> can drop a bomb (proximity mine, connor net, etc.)

7) no action left

8) no attack possible.

Was there something in the rules preventing 3 bomb droppings in a single turn?

I believe you can only drop 1 bomb per turn. I have a friend who tried out a Emon Azzameen + Andrasta list and thought he was going to be pulling shenanigans.

Speaking of which, I am very excited to try out that combo with a Bombardier.

They mention the use of Navigator in the article but don't explain how. Does your slam need to be the same speed as the original maneuver, the altered navigator maneuver you actually did, or can you choose either?

The pictures look to be using a 3 bank. And the dial is set to green 2 forward.

And holy crap its wingspan looks to be 3 small bases across.

OK, 4 golds or 4 Thugs with TLT, just flying 1 forward every turn, potential of 8 damage to anything that comes close, no matter the direction.

The TLT doesn't work inside of range 1, so coming close is actually the counter to this list.

It doesn't even matter whether or not SLAM is a "full maneuver", bomb drops trigger when you reveal your maneuver dial, and SLAM never says to do so.

Why did you not preview the Adv. Homing Missile?! **** you FFG!

Because the TIE Interdictor Punisher has the Adv. Homing Missile card too, and they needed something else to talk about other than Cluster Mines when they reveal this expansion next week. :)

I think the "executing" is suppossed to make the difference.

Horton Salm

-Ywing title

-Twin Laser Turret

-EPT Droid

-Marksmanship.

Yes, MARKSMANSHIP, Focus on all three attacks for 1 action.

I'm not sure he needs the Focus when he's re-rolling stuff and can only do one damage anyway.

Was the ion thing a change to Decloaking rules or to ion rules? Can Oicunn do damage upon being Ioned 1 forward?

They were just decoupled. Decloaking now takes place in the Activation phase, whether or not you reveal a dial. Oicunn damages as normal *I think*.

Oicunn always could do damage after moving this was never changed

A HWK plus Twin Laser Turret plus Recon Spec. sounds pretty hawt.

I think slam is counted as dial reveal, it says "choose and execute", and "choose" part is like dial reveal. Its just another very very bad wording from FFG

They explained nothing in the article. All they stated is that a SLAM counts as performing a maneuver. That is a completely different thing from revealing a dial (which is the trigger for dropping a bomb).

If you were firing off Proton Torpedos with a TL+ Focus anyway, Plasma Torpedos are strictly an upgrade. Against shelded low agility craft, it trades a probable crit for a certian extra damage. Against high agility shieldless ties, its just as likely to hit, and cheaper to spam.

Which means you're agreeing with me. I was trying to get what everybody else is saying about it being a "full maneuver".

If the rules don't work the way they want them to they'll FAQ it. I'd imagine it's you select a maneuver and reveal it.

If this is true, then the only difference between this and Ion would be:

"choose and execute a maneuver" - you reveal a dial

"move the ship as if it were assigned a white 1 forward maneuver" - no dial

Indeed extremely bad wording. I'm disappointed, FFG.
