Rebels will be fine once the large base ship cost decreases we anticipate come through.

Or maybe not because every Rebel player either refuses to play without Wedge or is a total memelord and we should be in awe of their dedication to the Wedgepocalypse.

Ultimately, I feel this is the correct answer.

Been playing rebs while waiting for Res anyway.

Although, I want to crack the code before Poe drops, just because it'll feel good to win some local stuff with Rebs one "last" time.

Honestly, I'm not even sure large bases need a point decrease

Behold, this abomination.

The optional upgrades, in terms of easiest to cut to hardest to cut, are Title, Engine, and then Trick.

he hits like a sack of bricks (Triple modded 4-5 dice shots!) and is impossible to catch.

This is the variant i'm using now(Cut Title because Swarms are a myth), and it's mean.

Does Kanan and interial dampeners combo? The timing from the wording reminds of the sloop title/Kanan combo.

You do execute a white maneuver, so yes.

Rebel Han is flying under the radar, but he's good. I'm settled to a core of Lone Wolf, Kanan and R2D2 which results of 118 points of a first edition ship.

I'm far less conviced by his wingmates thought. Superluke is too espansive and I'm quite fond of LW to move out of a two ships lists...

Interesting question, the " then " part puts me on the not working crowd thought, but I'm not entirely sold

There's a lot of the Rebel faction that this could be said for. Gotta be very careful making them cheaper.

Make Imp and Scum issues go UP UP UP before Rebels go DOWN DOWN DOWN.

I think it comes down to is "then" the same as "after"? I think it is does.

we built something similar locally a week ago, none of us have put it on the table yet tho. Dampners is a cool trick, I like that. The 3Z's we had built it with all had missiles of some kind, but the falcon didn't have Kanan. forgot what crew we had on it. Kanan looks much better tho!

I'm on a C3PO Norra kick right now tho...

Han Solo (92)
Trick Shot (1)
Kanan Jarrus (14)
R2-D2 (8)
Engine Upgrade (9)
Inertial Dampeners (1)

Norra Wexley (55)
C-3PO (12)
R2 Astromech (6)

Total: 198

Doesn't the wording on Dampers mean you basically execute a red maneuver (only it's white, but red) and get the stress token?

And then Kanan kicks in?

Dampeners reads "Before you would execute a maneuver, you may spend 1 shield. If you do, execute a white [0 ] instead of the maneuver you revealed, then gain 1 stress token."

Kanan reads "After a friendly ship at range 0-2 fully executes a white maneuver, you may spend 1 force to remove 1 stress token from that ship."

Since Dampeners says execute a white 0 then gain a stress (instead of execute a red 0), it fulfills the first part of Kanan's requirement. My reading is that Kanan and the stress token trigger at the same time (after the move is executed), so you can gain a stress and then spend a force to remove since you can execute effects that happen at the same time in the order of your choosing.

Don't the Quads/Escape Craft neatly slot in to the secondary threat place? Two of them generally match the points provided by that grouping.

This was exactly how it was described to me by a very good player recently. He had Scum Han, Pod+Quad, Fenn. Flew the 2 little buggers as a single unit and just served me up with them.

Is "Then" the same as "after"?

I think not, but could be wrong oc.

"Then" seems to indicate the Maneuver Ship step. You then check difficulty, but it's white so you don't get stress, but "then" you get stress anyway.

Now is "after" the maneuver.

So.....Boba + 2 Mining Guild Ties + 2 Quadjumpers?

Malaysia...

Guessing they're just ignoring the street date which most stores can't do. Rumored date I've heard is the 28th, shame since if that's true it won't be legal for PAX

And then FFG has the audacity to tweet out Mining TIE card art

for wave 2? 11/28? That's a Wednesday. Don't things usually come out on a Thursday? Most of the wave is still showing under development or at the printer.

I think given a store has physical copies in hand already we can safely ignore the notoriously unreliable status page showing "at the printer"... Wave 2 is almost certainly sitting in distributor warehouses right now

29th may be the street date, I think 28th was the day the order was supposed to arrive in the particular store I was speaking to

I wasn't expecting this wave to drop until late December. But that's ok!

I was hearing the 15th, but now I'm hearing the 29th from some local stores.
