In building my list for February's regionals I ran into a question. If I equip experimental interface on him, can I drop 2 proximity mines in one turn? Experimental interface allows me to perform 2 action header cards so I would think so. But perhaps there is a provision somewhere on the number of bombs or mines you can drop and I just can't find it?
Thank you for your help
Nope. Per the Q&A in the FAQ, one action per turn, which includes dropping only one bomb per turn.
Rats, well there goes that idea. Thanks!
He's still got a chance without EI. And cheaper!
Oh I'm definitely still gonna try him out! My current list is
IG88B
-PTL
-FCS
-Mangler cannon
-Autothrusters
-Inertial Dampeners
Emon Azzameen
-tractor beam
-anti pursuit lasers
-Dengar
-andrasta title
-proximity mine
-proximity mine
-Conner net
Even if dropping a Proxie Mine wasn't an action preventing you from performing it a second time using EI the FAQ clarifies that you may only drop one "bomb" per turn regardless. Before EI came along you'd get a question about dropping a Siesmic Charge when you reveal your maneuver then using your action to drop a Proximity Mine but that was ruled illegal.
A sad thing about the Andrasta title is that the Slave One title with Extra Munitions may be more cost efficient except whem you want three bombs and different kinds.
I put forth a similar build not too long ago in the squad forum. Almost no one even commented.
Oh weird! I don't know what your guy's meta is like but I have yet to see another firespray at a tournament. So I'm thinking that using Emon with be and even larger surprise to my opponents as it doesn't sound like he gets a lot of play time
@stevenO
I know!!! I didn't realize that andrasta took away my torpedo slot until I built this list, I would really love Etta munitions but I don't want to just carry 2 mines or 2 Conner nets. I want bombing options haha
Maybe a Shadowcaster instead of IG. Some tractor will help with all those bombs I guess..?
Edited by CerveYou might want to try Slave 1 and EM instead of Andastria title. You save points while still having 2 mines.IMHO Andrastia is better with the cheap 2 point bombs like mixing seismic charges and ion bombs.
That's how I built my bomb Emon, slave 1, dengar, conner, LRS, homing missile, EM

It possibly could have been broken had Emon w/ Andrasta been allowed to use Extra Munitions but it would have been so amazing to see.

Could be wrong, but I think Extra Munitions came after Emon. If Andrasta had been made after EM, then it probably would have been a 1-2 point title that said "Add one extra Bomb Slot, insert extra munitions text but for bombs only etc."
what about...the new Crane+Andrasta?

Yeah, I can see emon loving scavenger crane + andrasta, with a conner net and maybe cluster mines/proximity mines, though you could also have slave 1 go extra munitions and scavenger crane for potentially 3+ uses of the same bomb

That's what I'm thinking with a cannon and a Iggy B.
Although not the best crew for him, I also love bombardier on emon, nothing worries my opponent more than not knowing if I'm gonna drop a bomb with the straight 1,2, 3 or hard 3 template
what do you think about this?
IG88 B + tractor beam + heavy cannon + crack shot + fcs + At (49)
Emon + tractor beam + IG88 D + Andrasta + Experimental interface + proximity mines + cluster mines + scavenger crane (50)
As you can only drop one bomb a turn, even with experimental interface it's probably worth changing those 3 points to something else, with the 99 points it looks like it might be worth it to change it to a conner net, its another mine that likes the 3 tight template for catching people out
