Anyone having good results with Firesprays and bombs lately?

I've been using Cluster Missiles more but only because of Glitterstim.

Plasma Torpedoes are legit though.

Anyone having good results with Firesprays and bombs lately?

I've been using Scum Boba Fett with EM and proton bombs in some games with excellent results.

Played one game without them and guess what...? I found myself in many situations in which I could have dropped one blasting several foes all together.

Not to mention that people seem to forget that you carry those.

My son has used Emon flying Andrasta with three proton bombs with a good amount of success. His ability to use a three movement template for bomb dropping is pretty nasty.

Anyone who says ordnance is still broken and not worth it hasn't tried Homing Missiles with EM. You keep the TL and they get no evade. That's fantastic for only 3.5 pts per shot. Soon better with LRS.

In our games ships loaded with ordnance tend to die before they can unload it.

Redline with Cluster Missiles and Fire Control System will change your life. She just hits like a truck against all but the most defensive aces.

Yea Redline is nasty. I also throw in a Plasma Torpedoes for the R3 engagements.

He's not super competitive since he has some trouble keeping high PS ships in arc, but he can absolutely shred generics.

I have played the following list in the past (without the new stuff on Vessery of course) i have to say that it's not bad at all.

Especially Redline can dush out a LOT of damage really fast and precise. I remember two-shotzing Bossk with the Clusters.

"Redline" (27)

Fire-Control System (2)

Plasma Torpedoes (3)

Extra Munitions (2)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Seismic Charges (2)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Colonel Vessery (35)

Push the Limit (3)

Ion Cannon (3)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

TIE/D (0)

"Backstabber" (16)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Total: 100

Has anyone seen an increase use of ordinance since the "Extra Munitions" fix,

I thought some cities had curfews for young people but actually I haven't noticed any new ordinances lately?

I did notice one player bring a Punisher with ordnance to a game and twin bombers with ordnance to another though. So I have seen a few more of those.

[Edit] Meant only in jest, No offense

This was a problem for me as well, and the best solution I found was to make my squad up of all Bombers. Sure you lose a little variety but 4-5 Tie Bombers screaming across the board looks so great.

You can probably guess I don't play tourneys.

You don't have to load out a lot to be effective. Going to heavy is a bad idea.

For me at 100 points 4x Scimitars, EM, Concussion Missiles, Plasma Torpedoes or Seismic Charges and MF.

Gives the Bombers plenty of 4 red dice attacks and plenty of hull to burn through.

Well 2x Homing missiles has gotten better with EM as you don't have to spend a ship to put it on. But still the problems exists with TL functionality that arc dodgers will simply get out of arc. LRS won't solve that problem and bomber swarm with HM will still be at a disadvantage match up against Soontir and Whisper.

Still unless it is a point fortress you jsut don't put 12 points of ordnance and ordnance support upgrades on a ship. That is like giving a free academy pilot to your opponent's MOV.

I love those.

Every once in a while I fly Talonbane along with Fett and they are an excellent attack choice at range 3 where the cobra defends with 4 dice.

Now you need to be close enough to get TL before arc dodger moves. They then dodge arc. When you get TL before they are in range it becomes hard to dodge an arc. You have to get close enough to dodge arc from beyond R3. Very hard to do. Two shots from Homing Missile w/ Focus will kill a Stealth Soontir.

If by ordinance you mean TLTs....

I feel like ordinance would have been big if they bundled a lesser turret with the k-wing. But given tlt has the same avg damage and range as missiles but is repeatable and needs no TL... why would you ever take ordinance?

Cause it's fun... oh yes. I tend to run torp lists all the time, great fun. But I always feel like I'm being punished for it.

Last night was a small tournament at the LGS. Was hoping for more but only got 4. But out of the 4 there were 4 Tie Punishers, 1 Bomber, and 2 Advanced.

The punishers were all loaded for bear, I was running Redline with missiles and Deathtrain with bombs, and Cmdr Alozen, was a fun list to fly. Not super effective but fun.

I did feel bad for the guy who's list was 2 Firespays...
