Just won an 8-player store kit with Snap Jess.

Beat Riot Grrls (Norra, Shara, Jess) 71-0; then beat Rau-Boats on time, by running and not rolling blanks with 1-HP Jess (60-46); then beat Mustache Ride (Norra, Biggs, Horton) 67-23.

Jess (R2-D6, Swarm Leader, Autothrusters)

Green (Juke, Snap, Autothrusters) x3

Just realized I never lost Jess.

I think Jess's ability to threaten serious damage outstrips an ARC's ability to stress and distribute focus tokens. And Autothrusters did serious, serious work.

Yay! A-wings are back!

Also Congrats! Now go win a store champs and get a custom painted A Wing!

Kelvan,

I finished listening to the last podcast. Thanks for the shout out for our epic game. However, don’t sell yourself short in our team game. We both worked to win that one. You provided valuable insights on where the opposing team was going to move during our planning phase. Your insights were our key to victory. That, and the sweet crushing of the 3 ships at the end!

I don't think they expected us to send effectively your whole list at those 2 large base ships (norra and manaroo? can't remember) trying to flank the Raider. Also crushing 3 ships with a capital in one round felt incredible. I want to play epic again!

Also, Operations specialist in epic is amazing.

Captain Kelvan TiBeerius

Looking back at the picture I took, it was against Bossk and Tractor Beaming Ketsu Onyo? (to go along with the 3 PS1 jumpmasters that had the Spacetug Tractor Array upgrades), Fenn Rau , 2 TLT Ywings, and 3 IG88s.

I would like to do a big shout out to Calen Wong “The Epic Squad Father” for his big help in building this list! I had only 1 hour to switch from playing Armada to getting ready for Epic without having a team mate or knowing what to fly. Calen, thank you for list building while I make 5 trips to the car to bring in all my Xwing (+epic) and put away my Armada stuff.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagi prevents the other team form getting early target locks.

Jonus stays behind the Raider at range 1 for 2 rerolls and hands out focus tokens with OperSpec to non-epic ships.

The Raider gets 2 target locks (Weapons Engineer) at range 5 (Sensor Team), uses Homing missiles first so as to not spend the Target lock (Jonus rerolls), then Assault Missile or Primary next. Rear Admiral Chiraneau is used by Captain Tibeerius to run over an extra ship.

PS6 (Adaptability) Gamma Sqd Vet fires FIRST, tries to miss to proc the Operations Specialist to give focus to others that have a Target lock.

Tie Advanced Stormies and Dark Curse take evade actions to add dice to Vessery for Swarm leader (2 dice boost). Accuracy corrector makes sure the Stormies attack is 2 hits without needing a TL or Focus.

Glaives take TL and get a focus later from Operations Specialist.
