Minor details you usually forget while playing.

By Hexdot, in X-Wing

Perhaps 50% chance of not removing Weapons Disabled Token. Simply because I look for Green tokens. But I remind to remove TB tokens so it is hard to know why I forget about WD tokens.

Many jokes about this.

One fellow player quite often misses the "no Evasion tokens" vs Homing Missiles. "I expend my...". Chorus... "NOOOOOOO".

Just curious about this.

I always use 'critical' tokens now - it's the only way I remember to look at damage cards before setting dials, etc.

I second that.

Accuracy Corrector.

I played Crack Swarm last year. Now I can't remember Crack Shot when I just slip one into a list, because it's not such a focus like it was in the swarm.

My next blog is going to be on this sort of topic, though. Maybe up tonight.

Last night I forgot to use autothrusters at least twice. I only remembered I had them equipped when I put poor dead Poe on top of his pilot card! Sad!

I always forget about any upgrade card or pilot skill that doesn't improve my attack rolls. Hence I try to use as few upgrades as possible!

Me too. I always remember about 2 ships later during the combat round.

A few weeks ago I had a Mindlink 4-LOM list. Every time he got a stress I remembered to pass it to the other mindlink ships. Then in the end phase I would often pass one to an enemy. But a few days later was telling someone about the match and realized there was one round where I passed his stress to a friendly so he had a free dial next turn. I forgot that passing the stress to the friendly would just mindlink it right back to him. I'm not really sure it affected the match too much but feel pretty bad about it.

Ysanne...

Decloak / Cloak?

I fly a Scum Swarm usually and in friendly games I usually put all my various tokens on cards to keep the board from getting cluttered and increased chances of bumping/knocking ships over. I always forget that in official tournaments the tokens need to be on the board and next to their ships.

I forget passive abilities most. (In a recent Store Championship I won, I forgot Rebel Captive at least 75% of the time.)

But then I'm really pretty absent-minded. If I change my dial at the last minute, I'll often forget I did, and be surprised by my own maneuver. I also very often forget to flip a dial until I'm moving to the next ship.

The guys who announce every. Single. Thing. They. Do. drive me insane, but I bite my tongue, because -- as annoying as it is -- they're never forgetting anything, and I can't fault them for that.

scavenger crane; easy to forget when an unexpected kill happens, but you're in range.

BB8. That BB8 doesn't work if stressed. That BB8 only works on greens.... yea having BB8 on my ships is a liability

Autothrusters

Console Fire

I started putting Intensity, Rey, and BB8 on the game board. I think I'll be on the hunt for reminder tokens. An Intensity one I think is a must.

I fly the U-Wing a bit, and my opponents always forget about the title evade boost.

Autothrusters

Just put primed thrusters with BB8 then that adorable orange droid is always working!

I only recently realized that each die is only allowed to be rerolled once. I wonder how many times I’ve broken that rule.

Boosting over other ships. Template overlapped the corner and got called out on it. Didn't know it was a rule...

Setting up ships with Adaptability at their unmodified PS rather than the PS the card makes them.

It isn't.

"A ship cannot boost if it would overlap another ship or obstacle token, or if the maneuver template would overlap an obstacle token."

Provided you clear the other ship, you're fine.

I used to forget Predator on Vader so often that I would move the card to the edge of the playmat. Didn't help much as I usually would move it back at some point as a habit of cleaning up. Sometimes I would put it by the ship and then I would usually remember, but not always. I stopped using it as, well, I wasn't using it lol

Integrated Astromech.

Always forgetting this one!

Predator. Worst upgrade in the game, it never does anything.

Dengars Revenge shot.
