Recording a new IFF Episode on Wednesday- what would you like to hear?

By WWPDSteven, in Star Wars: Armada

We'll definitely be looking back at some of our ABSOLUTELY CORRECT (until they aren't) calls on upgrade cards now that we've seen them on the table, but is there anything you guys would like to hear us yammer on about?

A review of the different kinds of bath beads that might help us in our list building.

Maybe cover some of the FAQ corrections and come up with more opinions to waffle on. ;)

A discussion on obstacle placement could be really interesting. Can talk about creating the battlefield you want to fight on and how to react to your opponent's obstacle placements. Should you start with the station? Where do you want to put it?

Has DT tested his MC80 yet?

More the submitted 80s songs.

ideas on flourishing your community(s)

Good practice techniques

who left a baby ruth in the tub?

Please debate (or better test):

  • Electronic Countermeasures vs Advanced Projectors (why not both?) in wave 2. What is better now facing Admiral Ackbar with 8-10 dice, Lord Vader with rerolls out the wazoo, updated FAQ on XI-7
  • what would each of you take for a squadron heavy list under wave 2 (squadrons, rogues/villains, commanders/upgrades/objectives)

I'd be interested on your take on the new squadrons. Its the one part of Wave 2 that you havn't spent a lot of time on yet but which I think has some interesting possibilities.

Thanks!

Agreed....this^^^^^^ :)

You guys need a squadron expert to balance out all the negative squadron sentiment.

Another vote for these. Also, I haven't heard a lot of talk about objectives objectives light of the new stuff, so maybe touch on that?

That's debating the wrong thing. What I want to hear is XI7s vs Heavy Turbolasers vs H9 Turbolasers. What does your ISD take? What does your MC80 take?

Once we know what people will take for offense, we can worry about how to mitigate it.

Just let Dano talk about whatever Armada ^^

Your gaming experiences and resulting meta (personal style) shifts (if any, but we know there are) are highly appreciated.

you don't know what you've done

Chicken vs egg. Once we know what people will take for defense, we can worry about how to mitigate it.

This is so good. So much Armada to talk about, I love it!

I've played 4 wave 2(ish- no Raider yet) games since the last episode. I've pretty much changed my opinion on everything :)

That one's easy. It's XI7 for offense and ECM for defense, everyone knows that.

@BiggsIRL I think your suggestion has merit, but I think of it as two sides of the same card.

lol - I just misread this as:

They may both be correct.

Your wishes, and coolest ideas you can come up with for Wave 3.

Definitely a review of the new Rogues and Villains.

How about list ideas with only the large ships and squadrons? Also let's not forget new ideas about objectives some that may be less useful and others that were not good that are now pretty amazing, and of course more on the "rogues and villians".

Good stuff! TBH I'm not sure I can comment much more on R&V yet since I just don't have it and haven't faced it :( But we can make our knee-jerk reactions with absolutely no substance!

I did play a game with 2 MC80s vs 2 ISDs though. It was solid (picture: https://twitter.com/SJMacLauchlan/status/657987024729845760 )

Also has Drunk Tarkin flip flopped on the MC80 yet? Also I want to know if any of you have used the Phylon Q7 yet?
