Vader's Finest Skirmish Podcast

By kingargyle, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

As someone who talks fast I understand how difficult this can be but one of the hosts needs to slow down. Wow. I can barely understand how fast he talks.

Move vs. Pounce / dioganal movement / Fizzgrid™:

N = Nexu start

P = Pounce placement

Move 6:

[_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_]

[_][N][N][_][_][_][_][_]

[_][N][N][2][_][_][_][_]

[_][1][1][2][4][_][_][_]

[_][_][3][3][4][6][_][_]

[_][_][_][5][5][6][M][_]

[_][_][_][_][_][M][M][_]

[_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_]

Pounce 4:

[_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_]

[_][N][N][_][_][_][_][_]

[_][N][N][_][_][_][_][_]

[_][_][_][1][_][_][_][_]

[_][_][_][_][2][_][_][_]

[_][_][_][_][_][3][P][_]

[_][_][_][_][_][P][P][_]

[_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_]

Edit: Pounce corrected.

Wouldn't the Nexu "unfold" on the 6 space on the move diagram (I've plotted it into the quite), thus making pounce and move the same?

The Pounce ability allows for the final placement of the model based upon the space called out in the ability. The normal movement has to follow all rules regarding movement for bigger sized bases. Which means that half of the spaces still have to be occupied for each movement point spent, and once it reaches its full movement it is unable to move any farther, including the "unfold" which it could never do in the first place..

Another good show, I listened to it yesterday.

No. This is only true for Placement effects like pounce, not for movement...

I love this show especially the Cantina Corner. You guys have good taste in beer and great analysis on skirmish.

Thanks to everybody who researched and commented about the Pounce/move fiasco. I hope we've all learned something!

Thank you! We really enjoy drinking and talking about games.

We also hope you all enjoyed the last episode. Didn't think it would be a good idea to post about it here since it's not directly about Imperial Assault, but we hope the Outer Rims are something you guys enjoy too.

This podcast is just awesome.

Great format.

Great pacing.

Great Analysis.

Keep up the great work fellas.

Thank You

Thanks malfak!

We just released Episode 8 as well, where we discuss some future release speculation. This time it's the Original Trilogy. Enjoy!

Listening to you makes me thirsty.

Hey everybody! Just in case you think we went somewhere, we...sorta did. The Outer Rim. We posted about X-Wing this week, and we'll be posting another Outer Rim very soon. Hopefully some of this side content is interesting to you guys!

Check it out here!

Thanks again guys for staying interested and involved.

Just a couple weeks ago I was thinking "Man, I wish there was a podcast like Vader's Finest but for X-Wing." I haven't enjoyed the other X-Wing podcasts as much as you guys covering IA. Really enjoyed this episode, hope to see more like it in the future.

Thank you, Caleb! Nothing comes closer to vindicating this entire experience than comments like that.

Jesse and I both play a lot of X-Wing, so we'll definitely keep making content for it. Anything in particular you want to see?
