Poor Blount, even more forgotten than Ketsu...

Ha, I had completely forgotten him. I keep meaning to try that Blount-3 z95s-2 yt1300s plan at some point. If you command it, it SHOULD work as a defensive screen! My issue is that I'm usually trying that with Ackbar, who'd really rather have some VCXs....

MC-30 or Arquitens.

This is like that episode of Doug where they bought all the baseball cards of the worst player in baseball and tried to burn them so the price would skyrocket on the collectible market.

"Sir, nobody plays with the combat refits of the flotillas."

"Release an ultra-rare alt-art that only a handful of people will ever see and no one will actually want."

That would be Goof Troop, not Doug iirc.

I've run 3 Zs and 3 1300s as a solid 60 point screen. Was able to plant them by the station and heal them as well if need be. It works pretty well.

In my experience people that play rebels don't use Z-95s the "right" way and they get shredded. I did play someone using a 1300 to screen the 95s once and it seems to work OK until they eventually died, but they did their job and stopped the other squads.

It’s cause most rebel scum didn’t have the time put into learning the timing behind 3 hull squadrons, something the Imperial navy has been teaching since the core set

Mostly because we experienced ones have also been trashing them since the core set, and thus, are reluctant to be bothered ;)

Now, give me a Rebel Howlrunner, a Rebel Mauler and a Rebel Dengar, and we'll be talking.

my prediction:

Alt card: Ozzel or Motti

Top 16: Scatter tokens

Top 8 : dice, duh

Top 4: ruler

Bold prediction.

I would have thought it would be safer to assume a Ship card on precedence, but then, we did get a Ship Card at worlds instead of the traditional Admiral card.

I going on the assumption we got a ship card at store champs and we need more alt card imperial commanders.

Also it might be a preference of mine ;-)

Nothing wrong with that. :D

Are we balanced on them, though?

Mothma
Ackbar
Rieekan
Dodonna

Tarkin
Vader
Terrinald.

Was there an Ozzel, or are the Imperials one behind?

You mean Blount, Ten Numb, and Slutty Jan handing out her braces to the Moustache boys? (I get that Jan is more like the anti-Dengar focusing more on defensive defense rather than offensive defense, but the other two are pretty much spot on the rebel equivalents)

No.

Blount: I want +1 Decent Dice, not a reroll of a Crappy Dice.
Ten Numb: I want to do damage on engagement, not wait until I roll the dice. Also, Speed 2. So getting into Engagement, not as easy.
Jan: I want a counter bubble... because most days I'm coming up against dedicated fighters, I'm going to lose a 3 hull squadron, Jan or Not . Because it happens that way. So at least I want to do something back .

Fair enough. We shall see if they have anything like that in the works. However they seem to be taking a bit of a break on squadrons as there are so dang many at this point after two packs, a shared pack, and CC

Either those, or give Ten Numb and Jan a Scatter. That'd encourage me to try.

Yeah , like that's ever going to happen, in EITHER case :D

No there wasn't . Not that i'm aware of.

Imps are one behind. perfect time for one!

Can you imagine if Jan could give someone else a scatter-token that couldn’t be locked down by an acc?!?!?

I came here for spoiled pictures. Terribly disappointed.

I would rather wait for world's to come so wave 7 is out and we have an alt art Thrawn card for regionals really want an Arquitens alt art.

**** straight. Jan Ors and I are meant to be together, no matter if she IS fictional or not.

Get in line, bub: I've been waiting for that shrimp AA for two years. :)

It's gonna be a crappy Scout when it comes, isn't it?

Sorry to say she’s with you and everyone else within 1-2. She doesn’t discriminate, anyone and everyone can use her and discard her

And you don't even have to be accurate to use her.
