TIE Defenders vs Nym Corran

By Crabbok, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Bring out some TIE Defenders with the TIE/D title, and went up against Nym and Corran. Was a fun game!

Interesting. I would probably think about changing one Ion Cannon to Flechette to give Jonus MK2 engines to free up his dial (which is huge on fleet officer/systems officer ship). Also adaptability on Jonus with Systems Officer is better than trick shot (and another interesting possibility is to give Jonus Kylo Ren instead of Fleet Officer as the opportunity to PS-kill ships with PS1 Defender is too hilarious to pass up :) )

I really like your videos. Fun and short. Mistakes were made on both parts, buf it was fun to watch.

Keep them coming!

Agree about adaptibility - but I couldn't find my other one before the game... (I had WANTED to run them both with it though). And yeah I was totally thinking about dropping one of the ion cannons, but there are alot of large ships in my meta and I REALLY wanted both ions, just in case.

Big one was my opponents fired while on a rock and I forgot to tell him that he couldn't. I basically had the game won by then though so I don't think it made much of a difference.

Makes sense, although I think that Flechette + Ion would have a similar performance to 2 ion cannons even against large ships (you are still limiting their movement with stress) and can do a total lockdown on Nym. And those engines on Jonus do make a difference (I flew TIE shuttle Jonus + Defenders (or Defender and TAP) for some time locally and had a lot of fun with it)

Yeah that was probably the biggest, but both TLT shots missed, and as you said, the game was pretty much over by then. Corran also forgot to roll the extra R3 defence die to Rexler's primary attack right after he got ion'd, and also took 2 shields off when the Ion cannon hit, instead of one. Easy to say now after seeing it on screen.

Oh, and forgetting to use Jonus' ability was a bummer, but you already noticed!

But as I said before, it was very fun to watch, and I thank you for your work. Your videos are awesome.

Thanks!

I'm starting to forget more and more things in this game I'm noticing. It's a real bummer, especially considering I like to upload battle reports form time to time. I think it comes from playing a multitude of FFG games and board games in general.

I'm have what I call "cross-over" syndrom. When I play Armada I have the urge to pick up dice to defend my ship, and to flip my speed dial over like in X wing. It happens literally every game. I wouldn't beat yourself up about not remembering things. I play a lot of different games too and there is always something that I forget.
