still better than the movie

Um, duh? HISHE is always better than the movie they're spoofing because HISHE is awesome. If you check out his actual review of the movie, they loved it. I think that's why I love HISHE but have come to hate Honest Trailers. HISHE comes from a place of joy. Their nitpicking is light and ultimately their love of movies shows through in everything they do. The Rogue One HISHE is a perfect example of this. They pretty much reimagined it as a typical Star Wars movie where the good guys win and everybody lives. They didn't do it because that's what they felt the movie should have been. They did it because it was freaking hilarious. Honest Trailers has devolved into just cruel and petty crap.

And I'd still give Poe a Chapter 14-12. #stupidflyboy

Oh and JJ vs. Broba is up:

Finally got around to my Madine Post-mortem.

http://www.steelstrategy.com/2018/02/madine-postmortem.html?m=1

It hasn't ever seen play but I've been trying to theorycraft a Madine + Squadrons list - basically predicated on an MC30 + Madine having enough killing power to base an entire list around. Think a 2+3/Rieekan without Rieekan.

I was also thinking about replacing the MC30 with an MC75 which could be really scary with Madine.

Totally agree with the fact that EWS is a crippler to the TRC90 right now. The fact that they're out in the wild makes the swarm so risky to run.

In theory Madine could work really nice with some token generation (I'm thinking a comms net behind any of the big ships.) That one click for a token is super nice.

My favorite is still the token+dial. You start planning for three clicks and your opponents eyes get big because they didn't realize a Liberty could move that way.

To the common TRC90, the scientifically named "basicus buildus," yes, EWS causes problems. But its often seen in the wild cousin Jainas Light, scientifically "findus twopointsus" doesn't care, amusingly enough. It's all in how nature evolves!

Thanks! I’ve been intending to make more for awhile now. Just finally carved out the time.

It has been awhile since I updated the pages. Ooof.

Working my way through the Academy still.... That's going to take some effort.

I did a quick stock of what articles I still need to write.

I... uh... I forgot to write some upgrade articles in Wave 6.

Oh gods. So much to write.

This is by far the most difficult matchup for Devaderator: the other Sloanes have been bad enough, but kind of manageable.

This one is the 5-activation Sloane with aces. That's pretty much what I normally run, so I know what it can do...

Intriguing. Let me know how it goes, as your point about the Liberty getting shot multiple times is something I've experienced. I'll definitely have to try out that Lib build at some point.

First result: poorly =D
