Most green dice rolled in a game?

By markcsoul, in X-Wing

I just finished a game on vassal tonight where my opponent rolled a whopping NINETY NINE (99) green dice!!

As you can probably guess, he was running triple imp aces. I rolled 75 red dice against him but only did 8 damage killing dutchess and whisper but leaving soontir unscathed.

I played my ass off and probably had one of my best if not THE best flown games against such a list, but still lost as anytime I trapped him or blocked him my attacks were futile. I even got to use fearlessness THREE times and nearly a fourth! But didn't matter much as my red dice would either crap out or he'd roll great greens. His only bad rolls on defense were when soontir would be at range 3 behind an obstacle where it doesn't matter. Otherwise mostly evades and a lot of focus.

Anyone got that beat?

I think TIE swarm mirrors would probably produce a crap ton of green rolls.

I've never played on vassal so I haven't kept track of the number of green dice rolled in a game. But I have rolled 8 at once before! Guri with cloak, range 3, behind a rock, getting shot at by Zuckuss (he pilots ships sometimes too). Guri didn't take any damage, needless to say.

I had a game last week where my dice seemed lucky and my opponents seemed bad. I was constantly rolling over the odds on my greens. But it was good luck not good management! Still very frustrating to be on the "unlucky" side when I've been there!

On Friday I played my first game of Heroes of the Aturi Cluster. We each took turns rolling defense for the TIEs, and the first three rolls were all triple evades! It was INSANE! By the end of it, each of us had rolled triple evades for the bad guys at least once. It's probably just the sheer number of shots fired that artificially made it seem like a lot of evades, but when those first three rolls were perfect it was quite unsettling, and really set the tone of desperation for the whole mission. We loved it!

Probably 3 natural evade, stealth device, range 3, through an asteroid. I think that's 6? I'm sure I blanked on all 6 though

Fighting into a Nebula... +1 green R2 and +2 green R3. Cloacked Phantom R3 plus rock...7 dice.

Interesting scenario. Two Cloacked Phantoms awaited ambushed and stopped over a rock while a unarmed YT 1300 Hospital ship plus a small protection group of B Wings navigated throught the rock saturated environment. Nebula plus 9 rocks...

I've definitely had Soontir go pop in that situation...

I would never count total dice, but at Hoth I lost Whisper to a single 3 dice shot... and Whisper was focussed with 6 green dice.

Yup, 2 hits and a crit vs 6 blanks!!

I don't need to tel you what the crit was...

Major Explosion for maximum 'screw you' from the dice.

That moment when a HWK attempts to shoot your stealth soontir at range 3 with no dice modifiers and autothrusters still don't exist...

So many painful memories.

Talonbane Cobra, Cloaked with Cloacking Device, at Distance 3: 6 dices. 2 Eyes and 4 Blanks. (Not Concentrated). Cobra said goodbye

The low light of the game I mentioned is when whisper rolled 4 out of 4 and 5 out 5 evades on back to back rolls.

I thought this was going to be a topic about most dice in a single roll...

I got 5 evades with Rey once. Range 3, Countermeasures, Finn through an obstacle. With the old Falcon Title (who runs that on Rey?) it could have been 6.

Cloaked Whisper at range 3 through a rock while also having a Stealth device. 7 green dice.

That's what it has been hijacked into kind of.

In Epic you can get up to 18 I think... ;)

I've never played Epic but that's nuts! How do you do that?

Not sure about 18, but 15 is possible.

Sabine Wren (tie fighter) 3, with title and cloaking device +2, stealth device +1, range 3-5 of Single Turbolasers (double agility), through an attack obstructed by EM Emitter equipped ship +3 = 15 :P

Plus evade token = 16

Xizor: Base AGI 3, +1 Stealth Device, +2 cloak, +1 from Bodyguard = 7 AGI

Shot at with a single turbolaser (double AGI) = 14, +3 by being obstructed by Em Emitter = 17 dice.

+ Evade from Cool Hand = 18 ;)

And I bet one or two damage still go through...

Xizor: Base AGI 3, +1 Stealth, +2 Cloak, +1 Range, +1 Obstruction, +1 Bodyguard, shot at by Zuckuss +1 = 10, in a regular, ordinary 100 point game.

Gemmer Sojan. Range 3, asteroid, Stealth Device, so 6 green dice.

Two TIE Fighters shooting. Single hits. No evades rolled in eleven dice.

I wasn't exactly happy, but I never trusted Stealth Device much. Still it was quite a feat.

Later I've made up a story that the Stealth Device was from a shady source and to be fair it was from a Scum player. Never trust those guys, never!
