We have the advanced, what was probably meant was the TIE Avenger.
Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Your post has my brain trying to combine 'Smokey and the Bandit' and 'Star Wars'.
I guess things could be worse. ![]()
I still would prefer the TIE Hunter over the Avenger but I am biased.

For Jabba's palace bound, Spice loaded on the Falcon
We're gonna do what the Empire don't want done
We've got a long way to go, and just twelve parsecs to get there
I'm Jabba bound, Just making the Kessel run.
TIE Hunter will probably show up. I'm not sure about the TIE avenger. At this scale, it's pretty similar looking to the TIE Advanced. I've always hated the avenger though. Wings should be backwards from what they are. No need to have them one way or the other, so why put the peripheral blocking wings ahead of the cockpit?
Probably want a heavy bomber style B-Wing type TIE, so either the TIE heavy bomber or TIE Inderdictor. Then top off the pack with the alpha class star wing.
For the Rebels... K-wing, U-wing, and then, who knows what. They've shown they are willing to just pull whatever light freighter just happened to show up in literally anything, so pull something from Rebels. Maybe the Auzituck, and who knows what else.
The problem is that after that...you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. The TIEs just get silly after that. Sure, there are more, but they either look identical, or plain stupid. The Rebels are out of material at that point unless you just keep throwing random light freighters in. You have to move into another era at this point.
So, hey, I went out for a cold walk and came back to a Runewars article.

Byline for 2017?

How is Runewars doing, anyways? It was a complete non-event here, just Runewars inventory languishing on shelves, never to be touched. I have to assume it's popular somewhere?

Not in RTP to my understanding. 40k, X-Wing, and Armada are pretty big, along with blood bowl and warmachine.
Runewars not your style?
Okay. Have a Netrunner article then.
They're just teasing us now

More like Trolling to me.
I'm pretty sure we won't see anything until we get out of development. I'm kind of surprised we got as much info on the ISD's as we did... Maybe that expansion was done first and the MC75 is the holdup at this point. If you subscribe to FFG's upcoming tab at all.

Makes sense that it would be done first since they didn't even have to make a new mold for the Chimera
Wave 7 is so 2017.
Let's start fretting over waves 8 and 9!
Urgh, 2017 is so 2017 at this point.
I mean, not like I want the "glory days" of 2016 behind us... But ****, at least it was properly eventful.
What about the possibility of a new Campaign Box?
Lothal?
Endor?
Scarif?
How about some Aces/Veterans packs?
Not just the squadrons, but ships too.
The Nebulon could use some love...
Well, if we're to use the Corellian Conflict as a precedence.
Then none of those.
The Story of the Campaign of Lothal is probably going to feature in Season 4 of Rebels.
The Story of the Campaign Battle of Endor is shown in Episode VI.
The Story of the Campaign Battle of Scarif is shown in Rogue One.
Much more likely to get an untold story, or rather, a "tell your own story" system, rather than things that can be reflected as scenarios.
Outside of actual Historical Gaming, Actual-Historical Scenarios for systems tend to not be popular.

I need another E-Wing ace, yes.

You could say the Chimaera is an Aces Pack. It is an old ship with a new paint job, new titles, and new ship cards. With that said I don't just want a bunch of recycled ships.

Unf, another TIE Defender ace would be great. Colonel Vessery, perhaps

I have literally never seen anyone play this game in STL

My brother, who is big into Kings of War and plays down in Houston/San Antonio, informs me his group tried it (as in general the old school WHFB players are looking for a safe refuge) and weren't all that jazzed. Why exactly I couldn't say. I know whenever I look into it, it suffers from a bad case of "generic fantasy setting syndrome" with lots of weird unmemorable names with apostrophes all over and whatnot.

ROFL! Sorry - TIE Avenger!!! That deadly thing of a starfighter with four pointy wingtips of death and hurt!
Wait a minute! Mikael Hasselstein! You "DON'T KNOW ABOUT GUNBOAT..." this is a disheartening thing to hear from our vaunted ISB Agent (turned Moff)! ![]()
I'm certain Cult of Gunboat will be interested in 'discussing' your views! ![]()

Yes - Dras is right as ALWAYS!
