We're back in black, ladies and gents!

this time, the matchup is slightly different from the heaver clone I last fought with this list. The generic TLT + Z-95 have been schlorped into Advance Sensors, Stay on Target Keyan. R3-a2, god of stress, resides within a Gray Squadron Pilot.

I the approach:

all's well

things generally go **** up if Deathrain is directly behind the Advance, as it greatly limits the crazy **** he can do

II: Shenanigans

r3-a2 + conner nets needing an action = no bueno

fortunately, Deathrain has his own ways of dealing with the annoying droid

Deathrain, Tie Giverofzerof***s

III: Piece Trading

The Advance eat into the 1 agi Keyan Farlander, Tie Advance #1 gets rocked by Keyan and the TLT Y

Poe reminds us all why unmodified dice suck ass

IV: A helpful PSA

After 3 banking with Deathrain, I opted to focus as conner netting Poe was a dicey prospect and I didn't see a way for him to engage without losing his actions anyway

good thing I focused, too

let this be a lesson to all bomb enthusiasts, conner nets are narrow

anyway, in the ensuing bloody hairball, Keyan is exchanged for a Tempest Squadron pilot as the rest of the squad books it

V. One bomb per turn limit SUCKs

completely forgot about it, too

opted for a block, instead

unmodified Poe is enchanted and never rolled less than one natural evade, but that's why you bring AC

VI. No one puts stress Y in a corner

In a list with such late game potential, you're often forced to ignore the r3-a2 Y in favor of more potent targets

funny thing about r3-a2 is he has a way of making you regret tactically sound decisions

VII. Coming to Terms with loss

The punisher is fat and slow without boost and Deathrain's ability. It's not escaping even the less than speedy Y-wing.

So, **** it

we paid for this guy's AC; might as well use it!

VIII. Ssh, be vewy vewy quiet...we're hunting webels!

the Y keeps Deathrain locked to the debris, but eats the two Tie Advance and starts hurting

without mods nor the range for TLT, the Y proceeds to suck

IX. Disregard Debris, Acquire AC

The Y-wing is food at this point in the game, whereas Poe is essentially immortal thanks to the Y's selfless sacrifice slapping Deathrain with 5 stress

but 28 points is 28 points! nomnomnomnomn!

Poe, finally fully regenerated, turns to face his FO

X. Poe is an inconsiderate git

Impatient bastard won't even wait 5 turns for me to ditch all this stress

XI. Welp...

Down to two Advance versus a full health Poe

y'all know what that means!

let this be a lesson to all bomb enthusiasts, conner nets are narrow

Yeah, in our last Epic game, one of my friend learned it the hard way:

For a moment, Marek lost his breath...

there is nothing more tragic than a hair's breadth conner net

Are those poseable flight stands?! from where?

Great Brep too!

Love the play by play (ish) and seeing what was going on. Thanks for posting it like this fickle!

Dig it! Thanks brother

Great report!
