Great podcast again guys! Really looking forward to next week. Also I hope I get time see everyone and say hi since I'm on the other side of the States and haven't had much time to be on vassal recently.

Looking fwd to catching up Dallas and I'll be at FFG HQ both Monday and Tuesday to get a couple of warm ups in.

Drop me an email if you can make it so we can arrange a game!

My un-expert 2 cents on the Worlds winning list: If Palp+2 wins, it will be Vader and Jax, both with VI. It totally owns the mirror match, and it's strong against beef in ways that Soontir isn't.

You can do:

OGP, Palpatine for 29 points

Jax, VI, Autothrusters, Hull Upgrade for 32 points

Vader, VI, ATC, EU for 35 points

That leaves you 4 points, and no real need for an Initiative bid. You could do Sensor Jammer on the shuttle, a missile on Vader, hell, EU on the shuttle.

Sorry did you seriously suggest VI on jax?

VI Jax is a monster in this meta.

Well, me and a former world champion.

Dallas, Morgan, I am REALLY looking forward to seeing you guys!

So I learned that this may have been one of Doug's late appearances as an X-Wing player. So I now really appreciate his time with the show even more.

You should give him free ad time for his Lego business.

I have done something with those 4 points that I don't think others will do, but it will be a big deal come next week, i think.
Do some of the points rhyme with scion projector?

Jensor Sammer?

It sounds like it certainly is going to be put to the test and I am definitely rooting for Doug to make it work, but if 5+ ship builds do make a comeback, they'd much rather see VI Vader and Jax than other usual alternatives.

It's interesting to me how the difference of a few points spent differently can make such a difference in how a ship can play.

I think this is where Worlds is going to be won and lost. Take Paul's list from last year. He specifically brought a list to beat other Fat Han lists. And it worked, although it doesn't hurt that he's one of the best in the world.

The whole Tusken raider gag was a bit much otherwise pretty good episode. Like the discussion.

Yeah, loved the rest of the episode, but especially from a technical perspective, the sound levels were so off - I was listening during my commute and it scared the hell out of me at first. I had to turn it down to where I could not even hear Ed and just wait for the Tusken noises to stop. Sorry to be critical, but it was really disruptive for listening while driving...

I liked it. Plus both my kids liked it too. Which means I get to listen more. I like silly gags and commericals too.
