Wait the E-wings are speed 4. So one less hull and one less Blue ASq for grit and blue bomber?

They are too.

But who cares about your base AS when you have grit and snipe together?

I guess someone with e-wings + flight controlers

Take X wings and AFFM and you probably save points overall

Wow same snipe value than base AS. I suppose you are right.

I’d still rather field generic TIEs or Phantoms with Sloane. For 14 points, three non-rerollable blues isn’t going to kill things quickly, and the anti-ship damage is point for point worse. Am I missing something?

Vs Phantoms, the difference is “Reliable damage” while bombing (as every roll does something), critical effects and snipe. Plus it counts as a bomber for such things as precision strike.

grit is a cherry.

I love them. I don't use them enough though.

YOU both mean : Squadrons that are never used because grit is pretty "meh"

Ftfy

Yeah, now BWings can’t FCT and shoot, less flottilas to spam commands from across the map, and relay nerf and EWS discourages squadron clumping; Scurrgs have a place on the scene.

And today we take a moment to remember those who left us this year with a Eulogy for Star Wars the Card Game

It depends on the build. If you aren't able to depend on squad commands you are better off with the faster and roguish Lancer

You mean with Yavaris right? Cause they can still FCT and shoot.

Just not twice if Yavaris is doing the FCTing

Yea that.

Is nobody mentioning that there's a new article up?

Btw, in the Vader's Revenge image, there's a TIE Defender squadron standing in for Ciena Ree, who leads a TIE Interceptor squadron.

There are other screw ups too.

Sloppy.

Pretty sure each fleet image has a mistake! Impressive stuff.

Those are some odd fleets. MS-1 ion cannon on a VSD-II with Pryce?

Gotta be useful for more than the Pryce turn.

• Discusses how large ships will be common

• Chooses EWS over ECM

Makes one wonder how much choice he was given on including wave VII upgrades. EWS does its job of discouraging MSU by just existing, not by being taken on everything. I’m glad we got an article though. Thanks FFG!

Edit: Pretty sure those “errors” are due to a lack of stock photos? Maybe?

Right, but the MS-1's are so unreliable without a way to increase the odds of a critical. It's just a weird choice to me.

That is one weird-looking Battle Cruiser as well.

I must say though, I'm intrigued by this "New Products Showcase—Info, Demos, and Staff Challenges" item in the streaming schedule. Have they done something like that before? Sounds pretty fun! (provided it's got some Armada or IA stuff in it, otherwise I'm not that bothered)

Avenger on a Kuat? Eh, Relentless is probably better, but I guess Avenger does get some usefulness...
