You guys bring it up alot, or at least the one host does, but killing your opponents Ships is not a new win condition. It is the win condition, even in the base game rules. 180pt tournament rules had it as a game ending win condition, but also created silly circumstances where you didn't score full points when you reached the win condition. They corrected it in the current rules closing the scenario in which winning the game would be unadvisable at the time as you'd score less TPs or where your opponent would be advised to fly his last ship off the board to gain more TPs even in the loss.
New podcast episode! #7 of Intensify Forward Firepower is live!
Really nice episode with its good discussion of Objectives.
Also, thanks for putting the whole song in at the end!
For those keeping score at home, turns out Advanced Projectors do in fact work against XI7 Turbolasers.

I read that earlier and responded. This actually helps for future cards that have plurals in them.
I don't know that we can always apply this ruling to any plural subject any more than we can say "since CANNOT is used every other interpretation is incorrect."
Well the question is "cannot _____" not just "cannot" so there is some interpretation room. In this instance cannot only applies to the damage each hull zone can take. On a side note, Advanced Projectors and Enhanced Armaments is a Space Whales favorite upgrades now.
Great job as always.
I like the changes of mind, it means we have a game that presents itself with very good ballanced game mechanics, it also makes the discussions fun to listen too.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys! Awesome to see all the discussion around this episode! I think we're already itching for the next one!
BTW: 400 points is crazy fun. When you look accross and see 4 AFII's come one what's not to love you have 4 VSD's. ![]()
I think you did the objective topic wrong. You were discussing almost three things at the same time, and 12 objectives. The topic should have discussed what types of fleets the objective helps, and what it hinders, or even what strategies it prevents. and how much it benefits first player vs second player. you could probably spend 3 or 4 episodes talking about the objectives.
just my 2 deci credits
i had this happen in my last game, I was running AF2 and 3 corvettes, minimal 4 a-wings (297), and went against a squadron heavy force (300) with a GSD and VSD. he had most wanted as an objective. to my math I had 4 dice and his 80 point ship, against his 2 dice and my 39 point ship.. it was an easy choice to go first and gain an advantage. By turn 3 his objective ship got one shot off in round 3, promptly destroyed, and mine had only one hull damage
Thanks guys!
@Kinnison- we actually spent a good chunk of ep 6 talking objectives, so I think this was discussion was a bit of a hop-on for that. But man, I clearly agree! It's all about some objectives!
You really gotta watch out for hop-ons.

I can't speak for everyone but I cannot wait for the next episode either. I wish they were every week instead of every other week. Keep up the good work guys I really enjoy the show.
If you ever get confused on what host said what you can use this logic loop: Is what the host said wrong? = Steve, Juddd or Eeric. Is what host said correct/awesome/LOUD? = Dano.
That should clear things up in a jiffy. Try it out next eppy.

Fixed that for you.
Darn New Englanders! Don't even get me started on the Patriots.
I think Dano is at the paak
Really nice episode with its good discussion of Objectives.

Yeah! What song is this?
Edit: looks like the answer from DrunkTarkin in an old thread is: "kac, that song was actually done by a team member's band years and years ago, so I don't think it's floating around out there for download except during a show. I'll make sure the responsible party knows, though, that the defunct band has one fan now!"
Well, let them know they have two fans!
Edited by StrigonIts nearly been two weeks I eagerly anticipate episode VIII.
You and me both! I am erasing space on my phone to get ready to download it
Good news! We just wrapped Episode VIII. Needs some editing cause I dropped a few words that have been banned by the local Moffs.
I am a big boy. I can take the harsh words ^_~
It needs the outward appearance of being "family friendly." The Empire is insidious that way.
Fellow drunk officer (judging by the avatar) Edsel hit the nail on the head. You should hear the outtakes that DON'T make the end of the ep. Maybe someday we'll do our own Lifeday special episode except instead of focusing on kids it'll focus on being vile. Steve Skyshuffler can certainly wax vulgar on a certain bounty hunter.
