Will they change how JAM works in Epic?

By heychadwick, in X-Wing Epic Play

The Jam action is coming to regular X-wing. It involves Jam tokens. It sounds MUCH better than the current Jam action for Epic.

- the range if 1-2 sucks

- Jam tokens are better than adding stress, especially if the enemy ordnance carrier has only a TL on your ship.

- It would make ISB Slicer a great Epic option.

Jam has been a rarely used Epic action for a long time. Few ever use it. With Jam tokens, I can see more people wanting to actually use it. It would also help shut down Ordnance Tube epics.

Do you guys think they will change the Epic rules?

Stay tuned for Epic Second Edition

I don’t think they’ll bother changing it now

Yeah. So....I recall reading that the Epic ships might be in regular game. That pretty much means that the Jam action will be the same for both of them.

I’m hoping for 2.0 to say jam is the same, maybe with a huge ship only card that extends the range if flavorful and not undercosted.

If they do a conversion I can see something like that. But we have to face the reality that it can be some time before it reaches there.

I can see a "conversion pack for epic that has a brown Transport that can be used as a GR-45 for scum and a GR-75 for rebels. Further more I can see them re-working transports into having two sections cards (instead of one) and the corvettes into three or even 4 sections.

In the meantime I’m gonna try this:

Gozanti-class Cruiser (70) - Gozanti-class Cruiser
•Grand Moff Tarkin (6), ISB Slicer (2), Dual Laser Turret (5), Sensor Team (4), Docking Clamps (0), Broadcast Array (2), •Suppressor (6), Automated Protocols (5)

Probably far too expensive and will get trashed but great satisfaction in messing with opponents’ tokens ?

May be this might be more realistic:

Gozanti-class Cruiser (57) - Gozanti-class Cruiser
•Rebel Captive (3), ISB Slicer (2), Dual Laser Turret (5), Docking Clamps (0), Broadcast Array (2), Automated Protocols (5)
