I was thinking this week about what ifs so lets dive in,

What would make Expose a good card if it was FAQ-ed?

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend and gets in some games.

I'm not sure that I'd want that. Could you imagine if everybody was flying around exposing themselves?

PS: Don't!

Instead of adding a dice you can add a hit

Happy Friday!

Got three games in Wednesday night anx two in Thursday night. Don't ask, it wasn't pretty. Some builds just suck no matter how well they're flown. When flown badly it's worse. But a bad day playing X-wing is better than a good day at work!

Made a thread about buff erratas for bad cards HERE .

Someone suggested to change Expose from Action to At the start of combat phase.

I think changing it to start of combat phase would be best, it would benefit everyone regardless of pilot skill (provided they got ept slot of course).

Won't be getting any x wing games in for awhile, just became a father for first time earlier this week so my spare time will be very limited!

Happy Friday everyone!

I got a game of HotAC in last night. One thing that's a little frustrating is how everyone wants to play HotAC, but I'm the only one with stuff. For example, there were 3 of us regulars that wanted to try to get 2 games of HotAC in. Just as we are about to start, 3 more players come up and want to play, too. Now, it is fun with lots of people and I don't want to be a grumbler, but if they just played their own game then we could've started right then and had time for 2 games that night. As it was, by the time they got their new characters made up and ready to go....and extra time for one mission with 6 players, we just got one game in. Oh, it was fun, but sometimes.....sometimes....I just wish we could do 3.

By removing the action to initiate Expose you can fix it. Make it "choose before combat" or even just "all the time" would be worth it.

Oh, side note for my HotAC pilot. I started him off with R3 Astromech for the extra defense as I just hate going with the shield regen all the time. It was great in the first mission and saved me a couple of hits. In the mission last night....I rolled so many eyeballs when I didn't have a Focus that I missed so much or whenever I had a Focus, I ended up rolling hits and blanks. I got so frustrated that I had just enough XP to buy Expertise. Now, I won't have to worry about all those dang eyeballs! The problem is that now I need to replace R3 as I don't think I'll want to use him. Oh, he will still have some uses, but I think I'll go for BB-8.

We had the same thing happen on our HOTAC nights, I just gave them a basic rundown and sent them on their way with the basic mission, looking over their shoulders now and again. We also set it up so we were all playing next to the newbies. As long as you aren't doing the same mission you should be good to go to setup another group!

Expose - agree with instead of an action make it a choice at the start of combat. But then, that might be a little TOO good. Could you imagine the Expose on a PTL A-Wing swarm? Crazy!!

Happy Friday!

Amen! I went 1-5 at the Hoth Open (and the 1 was due to a bye) and was thinking the same thing as I had taken off work to attend.

Happy Good Friday to those who observe Easter, and great weekend wishes to all.

I am investigating Vassal, so pray for me! Hope to play my Duchess/Countess/Backdraft list on Tuesday--no hope for play this weekend.

I see no reason to expose Expose to a FAQ.

Thanks for this post CB!

We're lucky that we have two people in our small group with the HotAC kit. Mostly we use mine but sometimes I pass off running it to the other guy depending on player counts.

As far as Xwing this week, we play tested the Death Star run with HotAC pilots. The only ship to survive the run in a bout of hilarity was the Hawk pilot with something like 6-7 TIE fighters on his tail. With no torpedoes it was doomed so we just let him crash his ship into the exhaust port to roll three attack dice. It didn't go boom so now the Death Star is immune to attacks since it has a Hawk sticking out of the hole.

They weren't new, but just didn't bring their stuff from their home campaign. Also, we started fresh and we didn't want a bunch of leveled guys jumping in.

I think part of it is the components. I'm the only guy who brings them to the store. It would be nice if others had some. I had printed out a list and left it all at the store, but someone "borrowed" them and never returned them.

Congrats dude! Soon you will have a little X wing buddy (in 8 or so years)!

FRIDAY!!!

On a 0 agi ship, getting an extra hit for an action is probably too good... I know my RAC would love to do that.
