By WWPDSteven, in Star Wars: Armada

I might talk someone into trying that mission with me after regionals!

Greeble Hauled!

Dano ill jump..

I've crutched flight controllers interceptors and howlrunner for 6 blue dice attack since it became a thing.... ill be that guy.

I will take a step further and say the blue objectives are a large part of what is deforming the meta, because you either want:

  1. Superior positions with a ton of squadrons

Small Ships also work on this as well as Rogue Ships. 2-4 rogue ships can make a HUGE impact in Superior positions. . .

@SkyCake hahahaha it's the first reported case of greeble hauling!

I will take a step further and say the blue objectives are a large part of what is deforming the meta, because you either want:

  1. Superior positions with a ton of squadrons
  2. Intel sweep with a super aggro list so you know where to pin your opponent down
  3. To go first

Minefields and Dangerous Territory (with maybe the exception of a 6+ fast ship rebel list) are useless. Therefore, if you are going second, you are boxed in on your choices. A balanced, flexible list that would be good at many red or yellow objectives will always have the blue picked, and then it's just a strict disadvantage to go 2nd.

I would suggest FFG could greatly change the meta simply by releasing a single blue objective to fix this.

id love an all new suite of objectives. keeps the game fresh without adding model bloat

I'll volunteer for greeblehauling of it will get the aft taint off me.

Loving the show guys, hope we don't need to wait another 6 weeks for the next one.

Low effort:

This is good times today

So I texted my wife and said hey what do you think Greeble haul means?

Her response "fungus or a disease. it literally cannot be googled"

We need to fix this.

Edit she spelled it wrong.......

Oh man, someone needs to put it on Urban Dictionary.

i cant figure out how to post a meme i made.... nerd fail

when will IFF post their home brewed Admiral Gere?

Andrew brews beer, I'll ask him to make an IFF themed one.

Dano ill jump..

Thanks. Someone has to do it. I've learned over the years that passive aggression is the only defense for attacks of Dan's magnitude.

people do a double take when you tell them your TIE ints get 6 blue dice with howlrunner and flight controllers and then with dengar and howlrunner have counter 4... last round of a store champ i had to bust out the rulebook to show him its all true...

a dodanna x-wing bomber command center meta will play right into the fleet i currently run.

I keep looking at the gozanti and I am honestly not really impressed. I guess Slicing tools + Tractors beams is a thing right. You can slow the swirl or demolisher down and make them much more manageable but its so many cogs in a wheel that its easily undone, I liked the 2 ISD carrier build since it was essentially 2 self suffecient ships. there was no list synergy. if i lost one, the other was not effected, as long as i piece traded correctly. I am excited for Wave 3 for sure if it simply means less ackbar (that dude hauls greebles all over ISDs).

I am still listening, but 1000% agree on flotillas being all about the squad game. Now my ships don't have to be bothered with squad commands. I hate trying to get my ships to multitask. Especially as a Rebel player.

i feel for imp squadrons its 1 ISD and flotillas.... but i feel gozantis will be there for slicer tools and shield shunting over squadrons

rebels on the other hand will want some BCC bubbles for x-wings and b-wings.

will the rebels get a solid counter to rhymer ball? will the price of the flight controller cost go up on secondary markets? find out next time on .....

IFF needs to start GreebleCon based on the NAMBLA sleep over. I hear the IFF podcast guys are Marlon Brando look a likes.

Listening now will comment later.

We do look like Brandos all at different points in his career.

did I miss an episode did you guys ever talk about the transport preview? I was confused it was repeatedly said that you didn't think we had seen all the cards, when we have, but then you knew about cracken

No I don't think we ever did the full dissection but we talked after that first teaser an ep or two ago and no one had anything burning to say. I'm sure more will get sprinkled in.

FFG has done their best to point out that each Expansion has 8 Cards, and then list those 8 Cards, so it may very well be a case of We've Seen it all and we're just waiting...

BECAUSE ITS ON THE BOAT.

Thanks for making the greeble-haul to school an enjoyable one today!
