What I love about the two Rhos with HLC, LB, LRS and CS is it leaves a fair bit of room for a good ace. 36 points is enough to play around with, either Vessery with X7, VI and Ion engines, somewhat-barebones Quickdraw, Inquisitor with some rockets, etc.

Also 100th reply. Is that as bad as saying "first"?

Mrs. Rick is going to fly the GUNBOAT against me tomorrow night on our date. YES - she asked to play X-Wing as a DATE.

Here's her list:

Got to play mine today had a lot of fun with them I lost due to a mistake when flying near the edge I'm rusty but all in all very happy with them.

I know I'm bringing rebel filth into this glorious imperial thread, but my gaming buddy keeps sending me lists involving B wings and Linked Battery, so I get the feeling he's going to run something similar to this in our next encounter.

I have the utmost faith in my glorious GUNBOATS, but I'm curious to see how Linked Battery will affect B wings, I doubt it will make them as hard hitting as the GUNBOAT considering it can complement LB with another cannon, but it might give the B wing a little boost.

WE SHALL SEE AS THE REBEL FILTH ARE NOTHING BUT A SMEAR UPON MY GUNBOATS COCKPIT TO BE WIPED OFF NONCHALANTLY.

Yo, in what world is 36 points a barebones Quickdraw?

In the world where quickdraw should never not have LWF, and FCS, which is 33 points, and ideally an EPT and a tech, which takes him up to 36 or 37. And expensive QD is 42+, when you add a missile.

36pt is a fully outfitted QD with VI, having only the missile slot free... VI is pretty common by now, so barebone is at least a little bit hyperbolic...

Judging by early results on Meta-Wing the successful Gunboats cost 22pts with Harpoon Missiles.

Bare bones would be 34 points - VI, FCS, LWF.

Expensive would be 42+, LWF, FCS, Harpoon, Expertise, Threat Tracker/Targetting Synchroniser.

I'm thinking either Electronic baffles on them, or give the lead ship C3P0 just to mess with targeting priority.

I get the feeling he might also just try to fly 3 with HLC and FCS, mainly because he forgot just how much HLC hurts until our games with the GUNBOATS.

Serves him right, all he ever flew for a while was HLC Dash.

I'm going to fly 2 Rho's with HLC, Crack, Batteries, LRS and Cannon Title combined with Carnor Jax with PTL, Royal Guard, Thrusters and Hull Upgrade at a small Q-kit tomorrow. The idea is to flank with Carnor and set up the R1 bubble in which you can nuke ships with your Gunboats. Let's see how it goes!

Definitely let us know! I won't be able to fly my beauties again until Monday or Tuesday, and I've been itching to try out two with an ace, but I just loooove seeing 3 fly in formation.

Mrs. Rick was too tired to play X-Wing tonight. Try again tomorrow.

If you roll all hits, she rolls 3 evades or less (w/ added Finn blank and rerolls), allows every gunboat to be at range 2-3 and she and her wingmate(s) haven't PS killed something.

Sorry for ruining your GUNBOAT party. You just keep talking about killing Rey, and that makes me sad and twitchy.

CONTINUE!

Lol, x wing is kinda dead in my local area (outside of 1 shop that's a little bit more of a drive to get to) and my schedule at work is sporadic so I can't really schedule vassal games, so I'm forced to play against my buddy, and ALL he ever flies is Rey, Dash or Miranda.

To be honest Rey is pretty much the face of the Resistance/Rebellion at this point for me, considering she is all I see.

A FACE I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLITERATE MUHAHAHAHAH I jest, of course, I jest (OR DO I?!)

I’ve played twice against this list, both were super fun

Today I used 2 Rho with XG-1, HLC, Crack, Linked, LRS and Vessery with Juke, X-7, MKII in a 4 round 14 man tournament. It was the first tournament I have played in and I went 2-2 finishing in 6th place with being very close to a 3-1 result (lost the last game to the last die roll).

The highlight of the tournament was deleting Poe off the board in the first round of firing with just the 2 gunboats (he had self bumped so he was tokenless), didn't even have to use Crack Shot :).

Loss against Blackout, Maarek, Sabacc.

Win against 2 Sienar-Jaemus Analyst and 2 Nu with Jamming Beam (very good player but maybe not so good list).

Win against Poe, Jess, Snap.

Loss against 3 Defenders.

So who is going to paint their GUNBOATS in the First Order color?

I'm actually really tempted to do that instead of my Warmachine theme of black and red.

So, this means he bought four Gunboats, right?

The Rebel scum help fund their own demise!
