Carlist Rieekan and Epic Play

By Hexdot, in X-Wing

Another example of "Epic is diferent". You see no Carlist on 100/6 tables. Huge only. For 3 pts your whole fleet can go to PS 12 during a turn. And even better. You use Rieekan "at the start of the Activation phase". So your opponent has no idea while planning his dial if the whole Rebel Fleet will go to PS 12 or not.

This is one of the most powerful upgrade a Rebel player can choose in Epic. Common mistake is activating him during Turn 2. Your opponent's choices are handicaped by this crewmember. Will that Red Novice activate first...or PS 12? ALL equal PS is pure gold when a colosal traffic jam is "inevitable"

WRONG "And when your trio of CR 90s are ready to fire full salvo...going PS 12. WOOOOH. The Imperial player must be VERY carefull or his Raiders will be Crippled before firing" UNTIL END OF ACTIVATION PHASE. Quite...ejem

Epic is another world. Explore it. And have fun

It is fantastic for surprising people and causing one hell of a traffic jam that you can K-turn over. Doesn't have any effect on combat though, it's just for the activation phase. CR 90s are still shooting at 4. =/

Two years playing bad... Woooops. 6 players and no one noticed this. Ejem.

No worries, I've been there as well. I was all excited to make my fleet of PS2s 12s for a turn, only to read the card aloud as I was using it and going.... "Crap."

We have miss this perhaps 10 times. Mistakes were made...
