Dumb question: What's with these titles? I get the impression that You Are (Not) An Eva Fan. At least that's the only reference I've got...

Haha. It's not a dumb question. I have no idea who Eva is, and the titling was (almost) entirely subconscious.

The Rebuild of Evangelion movies use a lot of parentheses in their titles and is the only thing off the top of my head that does use them lol.

It's an amazing series. Start with the TV series, then End of Evangelion, then watch the Rebuilds. All of it is high quality and worth the watch.

Nice one! When you were "doing the math" about Vader oneshoting weequay, did it include reroll, because I can't find any calculator, that does :)

Nice episode again. In half an hour I got to know some more insides about a particular list and the strategy behind the list building. Could be a nice way to get a good feeling about a particular list and how it works to talk about a particular list and how it performed at a tournament. Would like to hear something like this on a Chewie and/or Han list or a list with E-sentries.

With red, blue, yellow rerolls you particularly want to reroll half of the results. So the chance a Vader wants a reroll is 87,5 percent of the time. Half of the time you will get a better result. Mostly + 1 surge or +1 damage. So with a reroll on Vader you will do circa 0,5 extra damage on average because of the reroll ability. You could use that as a rull of thumb. In real battle there are more things to consider. So I don't think it is very important to know the exact number of extra damage per figure with a reroll. Are you already certain you killed the figure do not reroll, because of though luck. On units with one or more green dice the reroll ability has less impact. Because the green die is the most reliable die and you will throw a good result at the first roll more often so you don't need to reroll as much. But it is an important ability for every unit anyway.

P.s. Maybe one of the reasons why there is no calculator with rerolls is because it is hard to put in all the conditions to judge the real value of the reroll ability.

So, @Cloud 123 in my Denver regionals podcast (Episode 3 here) I talk about my list with E-Sentries. It is a longer pod, because I ramble like a crazy person, but my list was 2 eSentries, eClawdite, eJawa, 3pO, Hera, Gideon. Spoiler, it did well, second spoiler, it's not as sustainable as I hoped.
