A card Idea; What would it bring to the table.

Heavy Fighter-Bomber:

Tie Punisher and B-Wing only, title.

When defending, if the attacker is inside of your firing arc at Range 1-3, you may add one {evade} result to your roll

cost: 0

Keep in mind this would only work in arc, per the reinforce reference card. is this enough of a fix? Maybe include it in multiple new expansions so that the punisher can get the punisher and b-wing only card without buying a b-wing, and the b-wing can get it without buying a punisher.

Does BBBBZ come back? Cause that sounds fun! Maybe four BSPs with E2 and some 2 point crew? Maybe a new crew? Or four Dagger Sqdrn. Pilots with E2 and courier droid? But I would totally run Ten Nunb and Keyen Farlander in the same squad. Also, how good is Keyen with Hera and FCS? or Ibtisam with Wired, E2, and Hera. That is just for B-wing, What goodness would the punisher see?

See the place this comes from here:https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/273762-reinforce-token/

Credit on a tweak to the card text goes to @ficklegreendice. Thank you.

No need to bother with tokens you're always getting them anyway, just roll it into the card's ability. Less to keep track of, less clunky

Contrast with soontir or x7, which gives finite resources after fufilling a condition

I doubt this'd make either ship top tier but it'd make punishers fun as **** again and make firing arcs matter more

Only on these ships, though. The bwing being clunky as **** and the Punisher being only conditionally more impressive than a wet fart (ie it can't hurt **** without Ordnance or bombs) make it a fine fix

(Also should be TIE/IT for the punisher)

Thanks! Much more elegant, and not removed by Wes...

...oh yeah, they didn't make Wess remove Auzituck Reinforce. Dang it FFG!

But the reason the token exists is the Auzzie can be denied it (it's an action) and it has to decide between fore/rear

If, to reflect their roles, the punisher/B effectively always have reinFOREce (and only the fore), then there's no need for the token

I’d be down with that. 24 points for a Blue Squadron B-Wing with Linked Battery and this title sounds pretty fun.
