Now, as always, comment, critique, add ideas, etc.

Having issues with the video am uploading again asap

Link has been fixed!

So I have to correct my statement on where squadrons can attack.

Squadrons can attack any hull zone within distance 1. They measure Line of Sight from their closest point of their base to the defending point.

I had misread that and was corrected.

I will put this information into the notes and when I do the "Attacking" videos I will make sure to bring this up

As a B-wing fan I appreciate your videos on proper strategy. My problem is that the guy I play against maxes out on swarm fighters and does not send his ships charging in recklessly. I can have fighter superiority but my fighters get tied down till round 5 or 6 and then are left playing catchup. Any videos on how to counter something like that would be appreciated.

He plays Imperials I am guessing?

Very interesting video indeed ! With Bombers, predicting the path of a ship is most interesting so you can surf around the trajectory. What was interesting to see is that squadrons command are less interesting with very specialized squadrons while they are more needed to making X and Y-Wings work :)

You've started your scenario at round 2, I'd be curious to watch your opinion on deployment and initiative.

He plays Imperials I am guessing?

Yep, I went rebel and he went imperial. I buy rebel ships first and he buys imperial ships first.

Ok I can work with that Eagle128.

I can do a video on that MoffZen. Many will argue with me over it but they are just my thoughts

I think it's worth it to do it anyways ;) The game is young enough that there isn't yet a definitive how to win handbook, and even with old horses like 40k, things are quite as clear cut as many internet builds would let you think ;)

This game is currently balanced really well so there is no "best" of anything. There are basic things such as having more than 2 ships is always a good thing and light fighter screens are good bit everything else comes down to play style

I really like this video. A good scenario and something that can happen in the game with good planning.
