It helps the panic narrative if we combine 2.0 Angled Deflectors with 1.0 Biggs ability

Turns out I was a Resistance player all along.

Wait. I actually was.

I'm finding out that the Resistance has ships that aren't RZ2s.

God **** I hate that this pack exists holy ****.

Leia is the ultimate '**** this, dial casual' I have seen. Reb leia at least required you to rub 2 neurons together to decide which turn to flip. This? **** it, every turn.

Holdo is a horrible combination of Yorr, Kagi, and Kyle.

There's no way this pack isn't absolute cancer if it sees use- And I have zero confidence that FFG won't underprice this ****.

I just want to play with dials and ****. I don't want to play a card game.

New players will be more likely to lose in listbuilding as well- Listbuilding shouldn't be as important of a factor that it is.

MAN... I *just* became a republic player!

The General affects 1 ship unlike her younger self who affects the entire list.

I want to be mad but I also kinda just want to run Poe.

Why am I shooting at reinforced Biggs with a Selfless buddy instead of shooting at the Selfless buddy directly?

Biggs already has -1 shield from RD, so go ahead and Biggs my shots into your B-Wing.

Because you want to shoot at Cassian or Wedge, and now your choice is between two different ships?

Whoa there.

Let's not exaggerate rebels just because resistance may have gotten dumber.

You're good, you played Danger Zone. You have the historical reference to be Resistance before it was cool.

Smolencer comparison - it's not just smol, but a new sculpt too:

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING GET THIS MALNOURISHED SILENCER OUT OF HERE

Deflectors won't fit in a good rebel beef list.

Naked Wedge, Selfless Braylen, Leia Cassian, and Biggs in a list requires Deflectors to be 1 point. And that's without Swarm Tactics on Wedge, which is a big deal.

If you drop Braylen to a Blade, that gives you the most points I can see to try to squeeze in Deflectors while running a Wedge, Cassian, Biggs, and a selfless buddy (5). But then you aren't running Braylen, which is a mistake.

And either way, the points change in a few weeks will make this even more impossible.

It's like a sleek leopard compared to a brawny tiger. They're both cool.

You'll pry Braylen from my cold, dead hands...

They make this game. It's called Wings of War.

There's an imo interesting discussion to be had here.

Apparently, Cassian+Braylen is by now seen as the core of the list, with Wedge as bonus. Historically, it was Leia-carrier + Wedge. That is an interesting shift.

My argument is that it doesn't matter who is right - you can reduce either Wedge or Braylen to a generic. Reducing Wedge down to a selfless Blade saves you 6 points compared to now. For one point more, you get a dorsal-VTG-Dutch. Reducing Braylen has the added benefit, that you can get Cassian down, too, and save 8 points. That was not just viable but instead very successful early on, and I am sure that it will still get good results. According to pink brain matter, the scout is just slightly better/more successful than Cassian already now, without a reinforcing Biggs.

Of course it depends on the points change, but I think it is something to keep in mind.

I'm honestly a little disappointed the Smolencer isn't a little more grey. Maybe it's just the photos, but the appealing thing about it to me was that it had a bit more contrast with the wing panels.

Eh, I was sticking with my originals anyhow. They're like great, imposing Shadow crabs.

What's the judgement criteria? Is the better Silencer the one I want to be or the one I want to ****?

QD is fine at his current points, are you guys actually playing him?

Midnight definitely needs a decrease thought, I'm not sure about Blackout since I have less experience with him but it's likely he wants a discount too

If there are a reinforcing biggs and a selfless carrier, you need to have compelling action, range and focused fire reasons to not shoot the selfless carrier thought
