And I failed. Much is said about FS 31 as an example of an underaverage Large ship. But not in Epic to my taste. Last night we played "standar" Epic 300 pts. No Scenario, a simple frontal encounter. Rebels with a GR 75 in EW configuration and six Rogue Squadron x wings plus Miranda.

Imp side deployed a quite naked Gozanti with 4 cheap Ties... And a swarm of 6 naked Bountyhunters generic Firesprays. And they worked GREAT. Fighting as two 3 ship elements they concentrated fire with finesse and with 10 "lives" and Agi 2 received a good ammount of damage. Both Gozanti and Gr 75 were wiped out in one massive wave and the fight was about six FS 31 plus 3 Academy TIE (one perished rammed) vs 6 Rogue X and Miranda. So large ships made it difficult to avoid collisions. LA style traffic jam. I took the worst part, blocked in a quite Pro way.

Quite surprising and fast game. Perhaps the FS 31 is more effective in Epic play...or perhaps I simply played bad. Over in 130 minutes.

In Epic focus firing with a lot of ships is more effective. Also using generics is the most mathematically efficient for simple dice.

6 x 33 = 198 pts of raw dice. + 40 pts Gozanti and 48 points of ties. VERY efficient.

198 + 48 = 246. If the Gozanti had attack capability, you can add its 40 points: 286 points of his list ATTACKS.

Vs 30 pt Ttransport that doesn't shoot... and 6 Xwings...

just look at that: 6 Firesprays vs 6 Xwings. Let me let you guess what wins there.

6 generic Xwings with Integrated would have cost you x22 = 132.

So... in your list, you are attacking for only 132/300 points. + 38 pts for Miranda. All of the rest of your points... 130 of them, DON'T ATTACK.

Literally 1/3 of your entire list was devoted to upgrades/pilot skill/pilot talents. 130 points!

Thanks Sir. Perhaps that points invested in Proton Torps, unique droids and named pilits were not my smarter move... Interesting anyway. The FS 31 Swarm may sound very strange but... Quite deadly

A swarm is six or more, three large ships would be a pod.

198 points could have been 9 X-wings with Integrated Astromech. They still might lose to 6 Firesprays. Turn 250odd points into 12 ships (X or B) and they should win. That still leaves 50pts ish for the Transport.

Isn't the limit for a single ship type 8?

Actually, it's 12

See above; plus 6 X-Wings, 6 B-Wings is still less than 8 of either...

Recspec bounty hunters are frustratingly unbeatable in masses.

The lame 100-points of ace-jock-meta... yeah you can keep dat-crap.... enjoy.

I recently got my 2nd play-mat! My Epic is gonna be waaaay more legit now!

I just need to get another add-on to my table-topper because I have no table big enough, LOL!

I call that a mini-swarm. A swarm is more than 6 (7-8) is a true swarm. However for large ships I count large ships as 2. So for a Swarm of Firesprays you will need at least 4 of them.

Just you wait. I can be husts as hard ass and meta competitive at 300 points! You can't make me be casualllllll
