Did they spoil all the cards?

By my count, we now have the following units:

TIE Fighters: Black Squadron, Valen Rudor

TIE Interceptors: Saber Squadron, Ciena Ree

TIE Bombers: Gamma Squadron, Captain Jonus

TIE Advanced: ?, ?

X-wing: Rogue Squadron, Biggs Darklighter

Y-wing: ?, ?

B-wing: Dagger Squadron?, Ten Numb

A-wing: ?, Shara Bey

Also, the only units here that improve Rhymerballs are Black Squadron with cheap Escort and Valen Rudor, who provides survivable counterfire. Jonus doesn't affect squadrons, only ships.

Was really hoping to see the Y-Wings spoiled. I wonder if we will see Pops?

Norra Wexley is probably more likely for the Y-Wing.

omg. Shara Bey, Counter 3 WITH CRITS!!!

No one is going to shoot at her...like...ever.

You mean, no one is going to shoot at her from range 1? Essentially she's a strong initiative to bring snipe squadrons.

Will Biggs ability trigger Galant Haven? Move 1 damage over, and then GH reduce the damage by 1? Or does wording prevent this?

What about pairing Biggs, Jan, and GH? Brace the damage, move 1 within range of GH, and negate it completely? I think it does work, because GH says "when a squad suffers damage, reduce it by 1", and Biggs says you move 1 damage to a squad with escort and it "suffers 1 damage."

I am really not looking forward to Snipe 5 Interceptors with Howlrunner....

I doubt flight controllers will work with Snipe. Just my gut feeling.

Howlrunner...not Flight Controllers.

Yeah I didn't even consider that. Wow, the squadron meta change-up in this product is going to be staggering.

This guy looks awesome. He may bring back the Tie fighter swarm lists.

Shara Bey is OP as $%

While I agree, I think the advent of sniper will help keep her toned down some.

Of course, as far as we know the imps only have the one.

Crap I just noticed his gun is 3 BLACKS, not Blues...SHRED!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate them adding in the rules for Veterancy as well. It's a strong incentive to play with uniques.

It wasn't clear to me if it worked for any ship or only those with unique titles. Either way, I like it and it will make putting Liasons on your Veteran ships an interesting option.

Not with snipe around

Only black means no accuracy, which means anyone with a scatter laughs at this dude.

They are already a thing.

And given the way snipe is written, you need just the portion of the squad base to be at range 2 to use snipe. It means that you can be at range 1 (and therefore engaged) but still use snipe (as long as your base is not fully within range 1). I see a lot of tricky measurements in our future.

I'm super excited about saber squadron. Essentially able to use AS at range 2? Yes please.

And anyone else is eating 3 damage per attack...or more if he's rolling with Howlie and/or Flight Controllers. I mean...are you actually dumping on 3 black dice AS guns??!?!?!

I think rudor wins the pack by simple virtue of the greatest **** eating grin i have ever seen

Gallant heaven reduces attack damage. So that squadron taking the inital brunt can have its damage reduced by 2 in this scenario, but I believe the ship taking the one reassigned by Biggs has to eat it for the same reason that it would take damage from Mauler, Soontir or Boba.

Ahem:

Flight Controllers:

The anti-squadron armament of each squadron that you activate is increased by 1 blue die until the end of its activation."

Howlrunner

"While another friendly squadron with Swarm at distance 1 is attacking a squadron, it may add 1 blue die to its attack pool."

Snipe:

SO

Precedent is there that both Howlrunner and Flight Controllers will work with Snipe...

Howlrunner is a No-brainer to add. Its a Modify Dice effect. You start with 4 Dice, and then add one after they have been rolled into an attack pool. Simple. Works.

Flight Controllers takes a little Mental Gymnastics to work, and works only under the assumption that Flight controllers is adding a blanket +1 to "all" Anti-Squadron Armaments... That Snipe is effectively a second Anti-Squadron Armament Box...

So that's more questionable... But on the face of it... I'd try not to Argue too much for or against it right now.... They're Interceptors without Counter, and won't live much beyond their Alpha Strike - Which is exactly what happens with Interceptors right now.

Does Captain Jonus make an argument for Quad Tubros? Automatic acuracy to trigger it?

This guy looks awesome. He may bring back the Tie fighter swarm lists.

His text is awesome. His portrait leaves something to be desired.

Seriously for thirteen points hes worth bringing just to shred generics.

Flight controllers + Howlrunner = 2 blues 3 blacks.

Yes!!!
