what if I stack enough prox mines that that the height of the stack becomes structurally significant and ships that would overlap them can't balance and instead fall off

If a seismic bomb template falls in the woods, and the judge isn't near by, does it make a sound?

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the BWOOOOOOOOMMM

1 charge, 6 points, only affects 1 ship, prepping for the post drop on kill box without telegraphing it is next to impossible.

I was told that xwing is a 2D game, and then when asking for help maneuvering fel's wrath for help through the house built of cluster mines:

"no"

I was actually looking into them as a possible triple oops counter if that was going to continue to be a thing.

By the way, I guess you guys know about this usage of R5TK?

Cluster missiles and munition failsafe = infinite ordnance. You can cancel the results independent of a hit or miss!

Why would you ever do that? Throw it on Torani Kulda, line up the bullseye, and now you can suddenly trigger his ability twice per turn. That unpreventable bullseye damage hits even range 3, no matter where your locked ally is. If you're good/lucky you get more than 2 damage out per turn.

FUN AND ENGAGING

I only touch scum with a 10ft Scurrg pole, but I this is so ridiculous I ain't even mad.

Needs to be in Kulda's firing arc.

Needs to be in Kulda's firing arc.

of course, and you should have another ally or an enemy in your firing arc at r1-2, too.

But I meant relative to your actual target it doesn't matter so much.

Top 5 sound effects ever.

This was a great sound effect, but for an explosion in space, it’s wildly anisotropic. You can even see the sphere form at first!

Once you slow this down and repeat it 50 times, I also noticed that Obi-Wan was aimed above the plane of the explosion and then FLEW BACK INTO IT.

Rule of cool, I suppose. At this time tomorrow I’ll only remember the baller sound effect.

Whoa! You found the first thing in Star Wars that makes absolutely no sense!

GD the nazgul we're patrolling the skies and so was sauron's all-seeing eye. Ya know, the one that was lidless and wreathed in flame. Try sneaking your tricksy hobbittses past that noise. Or don't. They even SAID SO in the movie. The whole "battle at the black gates" was "a diversion.". Me and my sisters jokingly called legolas "captain super obvious" for that one line but apparently you slackjawed junkslats can't be buggered to use more than one synapse at a time. GODS I feel like an elementary school teacher can you not logic even one single thing

Now do Last Jedi

That’s because it’s a Seismic Charge and he knows that his shields can easily deal with the seismic wave. He actually needs to get away from that rock as fast as possible, and traversing its surface as it is shattering is a really bad idea.

I enjoyed it both times I saw it in theaters and the one time I saw it on Netflix. Upon the third viewing some inexplicable weaknesses we're more obvious but on the whole I still like it. I especially like that the door seems to be pretty wide open as to what could happen in ep ix, though I am concerned that some of the backlash to tlj and jj's leading role may lead to a less "new ground" ending. Though in any case I'll see it multiple times and probably enjoy it thoroughly.
