I agree! But without knowing what his ability or hypothetical ability would do, it's hard for me to say what commander would be good with a blue dice ship.

Maybe a universally applied SW-7 as his ability?

New tourney regs up.

New tourney regs up.

VERY minor changes overall - mostly just clarifications (as Acrylic Speed dials are out, you can mark those for ownership, for example)

For actual text changes, here's the scoop there (its all clarificaiton additions, too)

END OF ROUND Each tournament round ends in one of the following ways:

• One Player Defeated: At the end of a game round, all of one player’s ships are destroyed. The player with at least one ship remaining earns a win and the opposing player receives a loss.

• Mutual Destruction: At the end of a game round, all of both players’ ships are destroyed. The player without initiative is the winner, but his or her Margin of Victory is 0.

• Six Rounds Pass: Players finish the sixth game round. The player with the higher score earns a win and the opposing player receives a loss.

• Time: At the end of a game round, the round time limit has been reached. (If time is called during a game round, players must finish that game round.) The player with the higher score earns a win and the opposing player receives a loss.

• Concession: A player voluntarily concedes defeat at any point during the game. The conceding player receives a loss worth 0 tournament points and a Margin of Victory of 0. If his or her opponent has a Margin of Victory of 140 points or more, the opponent receives tournament points and a Margin of Victory as outlined in “Tournament Points” on page 9. Otherwise, the opponent receives 8 tournament points and a Margin of Victory of 140.

Wouldn't be the first time ;)

I got some "Upcoming, maybe Wave 7" Scuttlebutt as well, but I'm holding it until its said from a second source, not just a single one.

Silly Dras, that's not what one is supposed to do with rumours. You are supposed to share them far and wide, in order to cause as much havoc as possible!

I know its the Internet, that's why this "Responsibility" thing doesn't get recognised ;)

See? You understand the futility of your position

So spill

My position isn't futile.

Rather, you're champing for it - that makes my position valuable.

But no far.

The moment I hear the rumour from a second independent source - sure...

Spreading one rumour from a source that is generally accepted to be under an NDA is a great way to proliferate planted information - and in doing so, expose the individual in question to the allegation that they are breaking their NDA, stripping them of rights and privelages, and indeed, exposing them to potential legal ramifications.

Ah - I had neglected to consider the NDA issue. By all means, keep your mouth shut then!

I'll spread a rumour...

I heard Dras is going to roll better on his attack dice during Wave 7. I cannot say the why. :ph34r:

Is he taking Vader on an ISD I with OE and LS?

No, he's taking blue dice ships with SW-7s.

None of that helps me roll better.

Mitigate poor results, perhaps.

But not Roll better.

"How the bleeding heck did I manage to get blank results on blue dice?"

Close.

I have no compunctions to saying "Bloody Hell"...

... I throw a "strewth" now and then as well... And an under breath "Fair Dinkum" when I'm looking at a laughable die roll when I needed merely Average to win...

I also saw this today:


"Star Trek lures you into a false sense of positivity that the world can be a utopia and recent events have proven it cannot. Star Wars’ dystopic vision is far more realistic and prepares our children for their future." —Adam Savage

My Aussie-isms tend to lean closer to "faaaaaaaaaaaark ooooooorff", also usually in relation to dice rolls

You paint blue over the symbols. One of the guys I play with has a "blank" on a blue die and it gets us every time. There is no paint in on the symbol.
