I think it's game theory really. More AP means more XI7's, less AP, maybe something for more damage.

In wave 1 there honestly was not enough damage being thrown enough to justify the 6 points.

Taking R1H4's article, with 3 three red dice you have a good chance for 2 damage which means they redirect 1 damage, yay! At 3 damage it is still 2 damage and 1 to some side if you negate the brace.

The point that XI7's boil over is 5 damage. Even if they brace, you are still pushing more damage than they can redirect.

Commanders. . . Hmmmm Akbar is great when you are focused on ship dice. When you start using squadrons Dodonna as was stated is amazing!

Now Rieekan. . . He is the one I want to test but it is not that easy. . . You need a gimmicky list of fragile ships and aces. . .

You won't stick XI7s to your VSD-Is with ACM necessarily, would you?

Because it counters itself somewhat.

I like flying VSD-Is with ACM x 3 ... I'm more into Heavy Turbolasers for this setup I think ...

And YV-666 are just like the perfect counter for B-Wings ... If they manage to meet within 6 rounds ...

Like ... You have 6 B-Wings? I got 6 666! See you in the center of the map in round 6! HA .. !

Boba Fett is THE squadron in this game, btw

Boba is ok.

I have 3 XI7 Turbolasers. . . I liked the upgrades.

YT-1300's Dano, have counter AND Escort. So not only do you HAVE to attack it but it gets a shot back.

2 YT-2400 vs 3 A-Wings. . . Hmmmm rogue vs counter. . .

He says it brings nothing new to the table. A combination of Escort and Counter though. . .

Right, the combination is new and mean in a single ship.

Dengar brings this combination to the Tie Advanced. Darth Vader, Dengar and Soontir should be a very mean combo, btw.

So. . . 2x H-6's has 4 Battery dice vs 3x Y-Wings with only 3 Battery. . .

On a side note, Dano does bring up the Counter and Escort interaction near the end.

Sorry guys, this does not count as your "squadron friendly cast". For that each of you will have to have a story about games you had with squadrons.

Hey now. check my batreps, I've been including squadrons lately!

i actually take notes as i listen for discussion topics when im done. great episode so far and only have way through

Dano? Wrong on the internets? Pft, sss, tsk. Ive only been wrong twice in my life...this time, and that other time that we dont like to bring up.

No /jedihandwave you didnt see what I did there.

Steve, you add squadron just to say you do. Easy is more of a squadron player than you are ^_~

Hey IFF,

Why do you have to make fun out my brother Ardaedhel on his one shot ISD post. I mean seriously what made you guys the Armada Gods. You tell your stories of your games on an entire podcast. Ardaedhel had a legit story to tell, that shows how you can maximize a ship type, which many players might have been interested in hearing. Yes it was a rare circumstance, but that is what made it a cool story. So why not cool it a bit?

Maybe I remember how that section went down differently than it did. The only person I remember poking fun at the concept of one shotting an ISD was Judson, and the real joke is how hilariously wrong he is. He has yet to experience the power of the red die. If you think "We" were making fun of your brother's story, I'd relisten to the segment. Oh, we also made fun of Dano not knowing what "one shot" meant when he talked about "one shotting" a ship after all of his ships shot at him

"I mean seriously what made you guys the Armada Gods. " That one I CAN answer. it was.... THE PROPHECY.

Oh goddammit. Sit down to **** around at work only to find Internet People talking about me.

I did assume you were talking about me when you mentioned the "almost daily LOLZ I One-Shotted an ISD" posts because, frankly, I haven't seen anyone else make that claim. Maybe I missed it, really no big deal either way though. I took it pretty much like Lyraeus: if I'm enough a part of the community that The High Dark Lords of the Tub should deign to reference me, I'm okay with that.

I think Brikhause thought I was mad cause I mentioned it on our Facebook page. So... thanks for the shout-out, dude, but I ain't even mad.

I think the big deal with the XI7 is the need to suck up several Neb B packs for them. But I think the FAQ change is leading to a major knee-jerk reaction. Is everybody going to run them? Probably not. I rarely see them now, although I have a real small sample pool to draw from.

I'm not liking the loss of beefy defensive ships. It's what draws me to the Rebels. I don't need to have that monster output if I can survive one more turn to wear my opponent down over time. Guess I may need to adjust my mindset if things are really as deadly as everyone says they are. I love my AP, but I may consider ECM or just change over to full offensive setups for the points.

I initially didn't think two MC80's would work... but I'm kind of warming up to the idea of two light/naked MC80's running with a supporting craft or two in the background. Although I rather prefer to have the ships in hand and play with them before I make a solid opinion of that.

Still listening... in the middle of R&V discussion. I want to like these ships, and for the Rebels I'd definitely use them. Imperials... I'm still leaning towards TIE Fighter/ Interceptor spam. And let the ships do the heavy lifting (as much as I do like Rhymer).

Dano is like the Pope of Armada. His words create the truth. So he is always right.

You know it man! Your post was about the stars aligning and the "MC30 that could" doing a tremendous effort to take down an ISD. That's cool! Jud was still poo-pooing the thought of big ships and things getting one shotted 'cause he hasn't seen what we've seen man.

Any offense taken by anyone about that convo is mis-placed!

Jud needs to play with one. If he had done the final round of Sullust like they should have it would have forced him to use it and see the potential. At this rate he will just purposefully not use it just to not eat crow
