Happy Friday everyone,

Wave 12 is not here and there is still some unknowns, but I am happy over all. This week have the preview changed your mind at all good or bad?

I think overall the wave has been better than most. The GUNBOAT is what people wanted, and FFG actually delivered. We get a balanced Imperial Swiss army knife, which is great.

Scum gets a balanced heavy fighter to replace the Scurrg. It looks good, and fun to play with and against.

The Phantom II is awesome. Balanced, cool cards, and overall a really cool ship!

Definitely one of the better waves in a while. Probably since Wave IX.

Happy Friday @Cubanboy

I want to buy the Flight Assist Astromech pack. Y'know, the one that comes with the new Rebels shuttle. My T-65s demand it, my Y-Wings are screaming for it, and my T-70s are sending more than a few glances that way as well. Not sure what the E-wings are doing over there on the shelf though...

I want a gunboat as well. Doubt I'll be able to fly it worth a dang, but want one.

Happy Friday CB!

Wave 12/13 looks interesting but... The only ship I'll probably get two of is the Gunboat. Everything else looks good but not multiple purchases good. I may be wrong. We'll see in a couple of weeks.

TIE SILENCER!!!

Oh wait...

*Whispers* TIE silencer

Happy Friday indeed. The previews so far haven't changed my opinions much.

The Rebel shuttle was always a hard pass for me. I don't have the Ghost and don't care for the ship. While the Flight Assist Astro in pack looks like it could be fun, I refuse to buy a ship I don't want just for an upgrade card.

The Gunboat has a few interesting builds and looks like it should be good. But I've got plenty of Imperial ships that rarely see play already and having not played TIE fighter the Gunboat lacks the nostalgic punch required to get me invested in expanding my Imperial forces with it.

The Kimogila has gone from will probably buy one to might maybe buy one. Again there's nothing really wrong with the ship but I think my interest in it is more that goes with the M3-A Interceptors that I already have. That and I suddenly don't have a scum ship that can carry the Salvaged Astromechs in my collection

The resistance bomber is a pass as well. I don't like playing bombs, I think the ship looks awful and I prefer to fly small base ships.

Still, the TIE Silencer looks like fun.

Tried flight assist astro: Its helpful at the literal value of 1 point. Meaning. It helps, but it also literally doesn't help the Xwing enough.

Good, but not enough.

Chopper is next to try.

Im more irritated at how long it will take to get my 3 Gunboats and a silencer. No point in collecting the rest imo. I got too many ships to play already.

I'll pick up one of each, and then maybe a 2nd gunboat for epic games.

Wave 13, tbd. I really don't want to like the Resistance bomber but they could surprise me. Tie silencer I will have one for sure.

Do I have more than I can consistently play with? Yeah, but I make it up to them. HotAC, epic games, the occasional themed event. I find ways to get all the ships on the table.

Super excited for the Phantom 2! The rest of the wave is kind of meh (my wife is looking forward to the tie silencer as an imperial ace flyer) but since I exclusively fly the Ghost and/or the Attack Shuttle with support it's good to finally get some more diversity.

HFCB.

I want to know how I can acquire half a dozen Flight Assist Astromechs without buying half a dozen Phantom II's.

Buy them off of folks who wont use it but still bought a phantom ii.

Or just proxy unless you're going to an organized play event with this.

All that.^

Nice to get a fan favorite into the game and break the ever loving chain of TIE/var. I think even the Silencer is going to look so different on the table it won't seem like "just another TIE."

The Kimogila is the last of the expected scum fighters, although I guess there is the Dunelizard if they can figure out how to make it different than the Scyk.

And I think all factions need more support ships like the Phantom II.

Happy Friday! I got to game last night. Did the Slave 1 mission. Then, I watched some people play the Tron Light Cycle variant of X-wing. You leave your templates on the board and try not to run into them. We will go over more details on an episode.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is going to be delivered today and I'm working from home! It was "out for delivery" on UPS as of 9am, so who knows when it will arrive???

I admit that I have zero interest in the Tie Shhh! Looking forward to the non-Ep 8 ships, though.

I'd like to see the Venn diagram of that.

I do think the Gunboat will probably be the first product I actually buy two of (I have multiples of other ships, but only if they've appeared in multiple products). For me, I think the list goes

Gunboat x2

Kimogila

Resistance Bomber

Giant TIE Thing Whose Name Escapes Me At The Moment (GTTWNEMATM)

Tiny Shuttle

Did someone say, "Uglies"?

...no? Huh. I guess I need to get my hearing checked.

That sounds fun! Do you still play with obstacles, or is the Maze hassle enough?

We did obstacles. We tried one game only.

Do you have a lot of extras of each maneuver template, or do the maneuvers disappear when you re-use them, or are you limited to maneuvers you haven't used yet?

It's all good in the 'hood.

2 sets are all that is allowed. If you don't have that template available, you can't use it.

When can I start Chopping up GChips and Bomb Loadouts???

I would actually like to see some Uglies. But the prettier ones

Yeah, Pretty Uglies.

Wait. Does that make it more or less ugly??

They are all pretty ugly

Those definitely are pretty ugly. The first one, I just keep looking at it and thinking... that poor R2 unit.
