Wave 7 Imperial and Rebel Review
I finally got the chance to crack open the K wing and the Punisher (hereafter referred to as the TIE Minivan). My brother and I decided to do an unboxing and deck them out just as brutally as possible.

You’ll have to forgive me, I don’t remember the exact builds. I was kind of excited
Between Cluster Missiles, Proxy Mines, Accuracy Corrector and a K-turn I basically flew circles around him. Staying out of the front arc was the key to victory. The turret is rough but the Minivan has the iron to take it.
His K-wing was a little scary with the SLAM but honestly he didn’t end up being able to use it more than once. I kept to close to him and “doughnut holed” his TLT and kept pining him with Accuracy Corrector basic shots. On the couple of occasions we got far enough apart and pointed at each other the missile barrages were epic. End of round the Van had no shields but the Kwing was dead.
We switched out and flew against each other with opposite ships. The K-wing felt clunky and slow even compared to the Van. The slow turns were partially made up for by the TLT but K turn with Lock pretty much ended my flight.
Final Judgment: TIE PUNISHER WINS.
