New preview: save the dream

By dotswarlock, in X-Wing

i'm guessing some of the xwing cards were suppose to be uwing cards.

Why the heck would they give you 5 PS1 xwings? They have NEVER given you enough pilot cards for all your old ships in 1 buy, and furthermore at the same time they gave us another of a ship that if we just want double generics, the extra ship is useless.

The picture does not show any Uwing generic cards but I think that must be an error. I'm guessing it was suto be what you said and that makes me sad. I will need two of these to run my five Xwings...

actually, I believe there are only 2 U-wing pilots. The article says 10 total pilots (5 PS1 x-wings, 3 named x-wings, 2 named U-wings). I think the cardboard graphics for the bases got hosed up to show too many large base and not enough small base.

I’m convinced K2S0 will either-

a) show up in the “adjusted” picture of the contents (remember when Sabine wasn’t a shadowcaster pilot?)

Possible evidence to this point:

The 'fan' picture shows only two U-Wing pilots, which should only need a single U-Wing base plate token. However, the fan also shows two U-Wing base plate tokens (one equipped, and one in the pile-o'-parts)....

IE., we've got two U-Wing pilot cards "missing". Probably one generic (both U-Wing pilot cards shown are 'unique') and K-2SO?

Extra X-wing cards in the U row, not enough small bases to go with. Weirdly modified X-wing base on the U. Missing fan fave U-wing pilot.

Anything's possible?

EDIT: Ninjad by fickle! Not my day :P

The Renegade Retrofit could be like the Chardaan Retrofit, take the Torp slot and reduce the X-Wing cost. Then you can run

Magva... crew seems to be: After defending you may acquire target lock on attacker.

Gah! I'm out of reacts. I'll try to remember to come back and like this one.

Well spotted!

Negative - the top 2 are either outright mistakes, or hiding the 'missing' U-Wing pilots. The base plate tokens in the fan allow for 6 X-Wing pilots and 4 U-Wing pilots. The card fan itself has 8 X-Wing pilots (IE., 2 too many) and 2 U-Wing pilots (IE., 2 too few).

EDIT: Well, at least, not with one copy of the expansion. Obviously, you can just buy two copies...

oh dear freakin' god...

What rebel ship would be good for that though? ARCs are all that come to my mind and not a fan of putting a 6pt torp on those pricy things lol

What about a B-Wing? It won't regen the shield as an ARC would, but it as plenty... And it could have 2 with xtra munitions! And what about Nera Dantels firing those 360 degrees?

I don't argue with that. I just saying that FO ship can equip Krennic (as said in rules for sub-fractions), but FO ship with assigned condition cannot discard enemy shield.

No, you cannot even give the condition to a FO ship.

Krennic is Imperial only, not Galactic Empire only. So you can toss him onto a FO ship, just not give the condition to them.

Krennic's text says you can only apply the condition to a Galactic Empire ship

Yeah, I know, I was replying to the comment about giving the condition to a FO ship, which you cannot do. Krennic can go anywhere.

I want that large based x-wing

Edited by smccaughan

Scimitar Shuttle with Death Troopers at 18 points. Good escort for the points or no? It can keep up with most ships and will screw with target priority, but is otherwise useless.

Pictured: four frigging SMALL based ships that are all nearly twice as long as a small base, except for the BIG one.

So Krennic basically tosses Plasma Torpedoes on any ship he wants,hmmm... VI Whisper/ Optimized Prototype? I can picture him looking on from a Decimator:

FFG decided to ditch the large bases.

Just wait till you see the Scum Falcon ;)

Support ship survives another day to support.

Krennic works even after destroyed, right?

Yes because the condition is already assigned, if imperials could hire azzmorigan, he could give the condition and leave

And here's their movement pattern. Honestly, I don't care how much ground I cover while I do this.
