Rebel Veterans - a Rogue One expansion

By Odanan, in X-Wing

Rogue Squadron is missing an "r" in Barrel Roll.

A free barrel roll is not worth the inability to attack the same round.

This title allows to choose between an offensive gameplay or a defensive gameplay, not to have both in the same time.

Free barrel roll is interesting if you can't attack during a turn. It permits to get away from the ennemy with a focus token for defense. Or it permits to go out ennemy's firing arcs and to get a target lock, and then to attack with 3 to 5 dice with a target lock and a focus token during the next turn. Not hit and run but run and hit tactic.

The X-Wing isn't an arc dodger. It's a jouster. Given its dial, even with a free BR, avoiding getting shot at is going to be tricky. I think the 'hit' part of the card works well to help give the ship a boost; but the BR/Weapons disable element is superfluous.

So a free evade instead of a free barrel roll ? Even the VCX can have evade tokens...

Yep, the X-Wing can't have any defensive.

Here is the custom expansion I'm working on, all based on new canon characters and inspired by Rogue One.

This X-Wing + Y-Wing "aces pack" is part of a greater project (custom campaign box) I plan to do someday.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

I would make the slug turret 2 dice only or 3 dice you cannot modify. Ignoring shields is huge, and this thing has almost no drawback. As for Veteran Co-pilot. I would make it large ship only and increase by 1. I mean a copilot cannot really be on some small ships, that can take crew. I would rename easy trick and change it. Name it something like combat veteran, and Ps6 or higher only. Love Farns, but Antoc ability is very powerful. You just have to be inside the enemies firing arc and not stress, Pretty easy really. How about something like turn a blank to a focus.

Slug Turret does 1 damage max. Is it too powerful for the cost, some people said the contrary.

Veteran Co-Pilot: large ship only. Yes, I will do it.

Easy Trick = Combat Veteran. Hm... I will think about. The PS6+ is interesting.

Antoc is powerful, but compare it with Wedge, which has no requirements. Maybe I can change the ability for "primary weapons" only...

Ships themselves, outside of the few combos I've already seen mentioned, look great.

I like Advanced Targeting for bombs but it needs a new name.

Lots of combo and interaction issues on some of the other stuff to consider and some of it is too good.

Can you download it and upload it somewhere else?

I really need some beautiful Y-Wing images.

This classic image is the one he's been trying to get you to see.

The Targeting Systems one confuses me a little, but other than that I adore these and want them and how do we make FFG publish them seriously you guys

It uses the rule text of the barrel roll to explain how you drop bombs from the sides of your ship base.

I'd call it 'Advanced Bomb Scope' or something similar; to make it clear it is an upgrade connected to bombs.

Awesome. Mindlink Juke M3A swarms. Need to try this on game night, I need more M3As anyway :D

This is a nit-pick, but Farns Monsbee should probably be Barion Raner, as he wrote the book on X-wing flight basics, and that ability sounds right up his alley. Provided the idea that he should only affect fellow T-65 pilots carries through to the final card design.

What is this movie ? Never heard about it. 😉

BTW, all these nice cards should be fixed for V 2.0 😛
