Rebel Veterans fantasy

By evanger, in X-Wing

A combo platter nod to "Rogue One" and "Rogue Squadron" (no relation).

1 repainted X-wing (blue squadron)

1 repainted Y-wing (gray squadron)

X-wing pilots

*Corran Horn (PS 8)

*Antoc Merrick (PS 7?)

2 x Rogue Squadron Pilot (PS 6)

Y-wing pilots

*"Hobbie" Klivian (PS 5)

*Paril Ritta (PS 3)

2 x Gray Squadron Veteran (PS 6)

13 upgrade cards

Astromechs

R5-D2 (Wedge's "Mynock")

Whistler (Corran's R2 astromech)

R4-G7 (Klivian's astromech)

R2-Q2 (Biggs' astromech)

Title

<X-wing something> x 2

BTL-S3 (add crew slot to Y-wing) x 2

Crew

*Wes Janson ("True Gunner"; Wedge's T-47 gunner, Hobbie's Y-wing gunner)

*Kin Kian (Horton Salm's Y-wing gunner)

+3 more...maybe to include Bomb Loadout x 2 and some new Elite upgrade?

Missing the missing U wing cards like Laren Joma pilot and K2-SO pilot and crew.

No Davish Krail?

Title

<X-wing something> x 4

Only 2 unique pilots possible. I'd also have liked Ekelarc Yong...but I would rather have Hobbie and Wes riding together again.

Also thought we should get 1 new Rogue One Scarif character per ship.

Wasn't Keyan Farlander supposed to be the Y-wing pilot who survived the Death Star assault in A New Hope?

His current B-wing ability would be great on a Y-wing.

I could see a Rebel Veteran pack being nothing but unique pilots, 10 or 15 of them.

I think Corran needs to be PS 9, especially in an x-wing.

Whistler (4 points, astromech, unique) - An aggressively powerful ability (like Cassian on steroids), but out of necessity in order to compete with R2-D2.
At the start of the combat phase you must guess aloud the speed of an enemy ship's maneuver at range 1-2 (if there is one). If you are correct, you may rotate your dial to another maneuver and assign them a stress token.

R5-D2 (3 points, astromech, unique)
When attacking, if your attack hits, you may deal the defender one face down damage card.

R2-Q2 (Astromech, 2 points) - Biggs becomes an anti-ace tool to help out the Rebel Swarm.
When you are declared as the target of an attack, you may receive 1 stress token. If you do so, the Attacker is immediately assigned one stress token.

Wes Janson (crew, 2 points) - Fitting Wes' token shenanigans, this is a PTL ace killer, but one that needs to have an in-arc shot in the first place.
When you are attacking a target inside your firing arc, the defender must receive 1 stress token for each focus or evade or blue target lock token they spend.

Not anymore. Apparently Disney replaced him with Leia's blonde best friend in the comics. Evaan Verlaine.

Oh god Keyan's ability on a stresshog noooooooooooooooo

I have plenty of X-Wing and Y-Wing models, but what I don't have is a T-65BR recon X-Wing or an armored Y-Wing and the title/mod cards to go with them. That's the sort of thing I'd like to see from the next Rebel two-pack.

But what about the poor e-wing? X-wing's don't need yet another model I'm an imp player I have half a squadron gathering dust as it is I don't need a blue one just the cards to let me use what I already own.

But I like most people only own one e-wing so getting a second along with a fix would be my preference.

Both the E-Wing named pilots are fine. It's the generics. But many generic pilots are too expensive, not just the E-Wings'. So I don't think that ship should receive specific attention at this moment.

Stress is not the boogity-man it once was. This would allow the stress-hog to be a damage dealer and still turn around. I wants it badly.

The E-wing could be "fixed" by simply lowering the cost of the generics via errata and including new pilot cards which are cheap and take up effectively no space in a boxed "aces" pack. Not sure if FFG wants to go down that road though. If they did, they should have given us a new Maj. Rhymer card in Imp Vets.

No E-wing card included? I would put an e-wing in there before the y-wing

I wouldn't buy an E-wing.

Not iconic. Not good. No thanks.

In my mind, including the E-wing at all was a big mistake.

It is so ugly. I've never used mine and I can't even remember the cards it came with that forced my hand in purchasing it. No more E-wings please.

I'm pretty sure it says Bingo right below yet another X-wing fix thread...

Also don't shoot the messenger, it's not my card.

The bingo card needs a "bingo card" square

Start your own thread for this inane joke.

I like the BINGO idea. Very clever, but irrelevant here, other than to annoy people and suppress discussion. Count me as annoyed. But only mildly.

I don't care if every single thread in these forums discusses the same topic. Who cares! Are you worried about server space?
