Madine vs Ozzel

By mobow213, in Star Wars: Armada

So Madine for 30 points lets you add one extra yaw value when you spend a move dial, or on a move token use it to had a yaw, or due the normal speed change.

With Madine I can take a MC 80 star cruiser with a nav dial and increase speed from 2 to 3, and chance the base yaw of 1 - 1 to 2 - 2, basicly adding one yaw from the dial and one from Madine. If i use a nav token I can change my speed as normal or use it to give one extra yaw value.

Now Ozzel at 20 points lets you increase or decrease speed with a nav command by one extra. So speed 1 to 3, or speed 3 to 1.

Seems Ozzel is the better deal point wise. and Madine abit over priced. Kind of thinking he should of been 20 points, or at 30, he lets you change speed by 1 extra and yaw by 1 extra. and with token change speed by 1 extra, or add one extra yaw.

No, they're quite alright they way they are...

Speed Changes are easily limited... I mean, Speed 2 Ships (For where Ozzel is of questionable usage) for the Imperials are more common than Rebel Ships that couldn't do with an extra Nav or two...

Madine is insane. If you are running a list where maneuverability is key, his ability is ridiculous.

With just a dial, you can change speed by one, and yaw by up to two wherever you want. With just a token you can either change speed or yaw by one. That's great versatility.

Ozzel let's you change speed by two. This is generally a much less useful ability. It can be good in some clutch maneuvers - but extra yaw is extremely useful almost every turn you ban nav anyway.

Ozzel has two upsides, for ships equipped with Nav Teams you can change your speed, and yaw by 1 each with a token. That's a cool ability, but nav teams are pretty wasted on every Imperial ship so far. How second upside is that he is the cheapest.

As an Imperial player, I could see playing Madine. I've never been interested in playing Ozzel.

I think you're understating how important yaw is. One extra yaw - especially on ships that can go speed 3 or 4 - makes a big difference

Madine for Librety/MC30c president!
