Assault Missiles. Ion Torpedoes. 10 ctm radius of Love. One easy way to damage that pesky Soontir...hitting his friend Mr Agi 0 VT. Even better if you play with Face Down Ordnance cards.

The 5 pts Assault Missiles are by far much more feared if you show them when fired.

IMHO playing with FD Ordnance gives the right value to your Cookies. You see two FD Missile cards on that Punisher. AHM? Assault? Ion?. Mmmmm...

Of course playing from a casual perspective. If you play 6 games Tournament way no viable. Unless you reserve X points to load Ordnance and you are free to change the upgrades prior to each game.

And playing with FD Ord cards changes your perspective about investing 5 pts in that fat Assault Missile.

The current trend towards 2-3 ship lists in the meta has rather weakened these weapons. They are great in Epic though.

This is a great idea for casual games! Adds an easy to use variable in the 100/6 match. I'll have to try it out next Wednesday.

And that's where I use them. Nothing like nailing 5 ships at once. And it can still feel good even if occasionally one of them is a friendly fire accident.

And if the friendly ship is controled by allied player...better. Jojojo Scum laught

Add on Ruthlessness for even more AE fun times!

Kaa'to with crackshot, an assault missile and guidance chip has been part of my scum epic lists for a while. Maybe the crane would make him even more interesting: fire an assault missile each round!

Would have enjoyed it more during the days of the TIE swarm, and the cluster furball days of the Wave 3 meta. Now not so much.

It kind of is a shame that double attacks won't let you attack two different ships. That could have some interesting mechanics but again splitting attacks isn't that effective as putting in more damage on an opposing unit to remove it from the game.

Swarms never left our table. Not allways of course, but I think that Epic games are better with a bunch of Tie Academy.

Variety is vital in our x wing experience. One week 16 Tie Figthers plus Raider... Next week 4 IG2000 plus 3 FS 31. Simplicity is one key to the success of X Wing.
