So, I’ve lost two games horribly so far.... But I’ve looked great doing it.

A lost game is better then no game! Good luck on number 3.

I played a Raddus list and lost twice but the last one was by a single point. Raddus is pretty fun.

Raddus In Your Pants (398/400)
Rebels

Commander: Admiral Raddus

Objectives: Most Wanted, Dangerous Territory, Contested Outpost

[flagship] MC75 Armored Cruiser (104)
- Admiral Raddus (26)
- Electronic Counter Measures (7)
- Leading Shots (4)
- Strategic Adviser (4)
- External Racks (3)
- Quad Battery Turrets (5)
- Gunnery Team (7)
= 160 total points

MC80 Liberty Star Cruiser (96)
- Leading Shots (4)
- XX-9 Turbolasers (5)
- XI7 Turbolasers (6)
- Gunnery Team (7)

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
- Bright Hope (2)
- Toryn Farr (7)
= 27 total points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
- Comms Net (2)
= 20 total points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
= 18 total points

Squadrons (55/134):
1x Shara Bey A-wing Squadron (17)
1x Tycho Celchu A-Wing Squadron (16)
2x A-Wing Squadron (22)

Game 3 almost ended turn 2... When Black Squadron was aiming at a Shieldless, 1 Hull Corvette...

That had Raddus.

Who had squirrelled away a Tooled up Ordnance Profundity.

Which contained Transports. With RBD.

Which contained Nym and Keyan.

But the **** TIEs wiffed on their 50/50 shot.

Because I can Drive.

I didn't hit anything. Not even the shifting Navigation Hazards.

But it is a shame that TIE didn't get his Shot.

"I tabled my opponent at the top of Turn 3." isn't something you get to say very often... >.>

I've also decided (after 6 shots of Rye on an empty stomach) that Nose-Punch is basically retired now, until such time as my luck really turns around.... But being as that this is the end of the competitive season for me, I'll aim to be somewhat more competitive rather than Janky, come Store Championships and the 2018-19 season...

Who knows... If I can slam through my debts quicker, then there's a chance I'll be able to start planning for Worlds 2019 come September or so...

I hate posting this and asking, but... It gives people some insight into me and why I am... and the Armada Forums have been very helpful so far. I can't stress how thankful I am so far...

I'm going to continue the "SO you want to paint..." series as much as possible. Adding more stuff to Rogues and all... Aswell as general technicuqes.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIFIC someone wants to know how to paint, please, by all means, ask, and if its something I can do, I'll demonstrate it.

At some point they will have to have an article about why there are no articles, right? Any guesses on when they do the article of no articles?

Speak for yourself.

Neither i nor anyone in our areas has the new stuff yet :(

#bitter (thats what im suppost to say, right?)

Not one but two pages down! So many Discussions going on.

Really hoping we get a campaign announcement. Tie in to Rogue One so we can get U wings and Death Troopers to round out the Raid token suppliers.

That TIE Reaper is so U.G.L.Y. (In my opinion of course.)

"Hey what in the **** do we do with all of these extra TIE fins?"

Also would like to point out:

Why do the X-Wing previews spoil every card? We had like 10 flipped cards for Wave 7.

Because they like us to speculate, and I think we proved to be too good at the pixel-reading and hi-res leaking, so to keep it a mistery they can't afford any portion face-up :D

Lol someone might have to explain to me why the U-wing's cardboard in that picture has X-wing stats. I was SUPER confused when i saw it only had 5hp(2 shield 3 hull). I haven't played since just before the Uwing came out but I doubt they're that weak :P. That's a huge cardboard xwing.

So the next sqn pack will have uwings, tie reapers,and gauntlets all with raid

The Reapwr has a jam action.,,

I’ve been after a keyword removing bubble for a while...

I was just thinking about the 2 crew slots and the death trooper cards for the raid

Edit- but that makes it better so the pack could be:

uwing v gauntlet - raid

???? V reaper - jam rule

kwing v tie punisher - heavy bomber

?? V ??? - fighters

Eh, they’d be a boarding team I guess... The Jyn equivalents... I mean, Gauntlets are good enough for raid there, and double over easily to U wings.

Reaper is the odd there.

See edit :P

only thing I think wouldn't really be there is the gauntlet, would take some of the uniqueness value out of chimaera, and I don't think FFG would really do that. Imps could well do with some more bomber variety:P
