I also really hope we get cardboard for 3 T-70s since that's what most resistance players will own.

Better be four unless they somehow cost 51 points.

Rose is...is...incredible. My blank green dice results can become target locks? Are you f'in kidding me?

Holy ****. How had I missed that she works on defence dice? Or that she acquires a lock rather than performs a target lock action?

Yeah, she's broken AF.

If she isn't 14 points, Rebels and Empire have been absolutely shafted.

The FAQ ruling here was necessary because the rules reference specify explicitly what happens when a mine is placed underneath two ships at once (it goes of and the mine's owner gets to choose the victim) but a loophole in wordings made the most fanatic RAW worshippers argue, that nothing in the rulebook makes a mine go off when placed under one ship.

Oh, I missed all that-- I thought he was trying to indicate that it would only work with one ship.

I can't believe that's an actual position people were arguing. Come on, people.

That's a cost increase, right there. I can't see you fitting 3 in a list now. At least, not loaded up with bombs like they normally would be. Two of these with Vet gunner and some bombs is just good on its own (perhaps throw in the new A - wing).

unless there are no turns or banks. That would keep the cost down.

Hey, if it can only go straight, I'm happy to fight 10 of them!

Add in a ship-specific ability: "When an enemy TIE/fo overlaps you, you and all other Resistance Bombers in range 0-3 are destroyed." Throw in this one Ini3 unique pilot who says "you may ignore the Resistance Bomber's ship ability".

With that facetious reasoning, TIEs shouldn't get any defense dice and only one hull, the Millenium Falcon should never lose it’s last hull (never destroyed) and boba fett should, if no focus (eyball result) are rolled, suffer an number of crits equal to all other results, and then fly off the board.

If the last 2 ships dies on the same turn (bomb or simultaneous fire or similar). Final salvo is only done with ships still alive.

Well, thanks for the reply . Realized I posted my question in the wrong thread. oops!

... This says absolutely nothing about it only applying to one ship. It just indicates that a ship overlapping a mine via mine placement triggers its detonation. There is no "one ship," no "a single ship," just a generic "a ship" referenced.

The ruling (as well as the ruling on the Rigged Cargo Chute debris cloud) makes it clear that overlapping by movement and overlapping by having a device or obstacle placed under a ship are the same.

Holy ****, People Who Hated The Last Jedi, we ****ing GET IT. You DIDN'T LIKE IT. Can you please shut the **** up about it in a thread where we're trying to discuss a ****ing X-Wing expansion please?

It wouldn’t have come up, except for the most unliked character in the movie becoming one of the most powerful cards in the game.

They’re reacting to the said expansion, not to the movie.

Frankly, it smells all over of the Disney/LFL approval department requiring “their” trilogy have the stronger stuff to try and force folks down the path of the characters they created. And it does bother some of us from a gameplay perspective as well. (I had similar gripes when 1.0 Kylo crew turned up).

I won’t be buying anything for the Resistance. I will be converting my existing FO ships because I had a lot of fun with them in 1.0 (while in 1.0 it was literally just Poe... ).

It kinda just seems like over reaction and hyper sensitivity to be this upset over a single card.

Bye Francis.

How certain are we that the spending of blanks in the preview article isn't a mistake?

I've worked for movie companies, and I'd be pretty surprised if anybody in the licensing department had any understanding of, or interest in, X-wing power levels and metagame balance.

That is insanely good. I doubt you'll be allowed to field 3 in a list if they have that. That's about as close to a 360 turret as any ship can get.

Yes, pretty lame to basically bring 1.0 back.

Pretty sure. The card is in the article. Unless the card text has changed in the actual printing.

I'd prefer something to the effect of:

Armed and Primed: During the end phase you may recover 1 charge on a bomb upgrade. While you have a charge on a bomb upgrade, when you would 1 or more Hit Damage suffer 1 Hit Damage as a Critical Hit Damage.

That way it would allow for risk vs reward gameplay, would allow the Resistance Bomber to be bomb as much as it wished though at the risk of taking heavier hits when unshielded and would effectively well represent them from the film where the Ties were able to rip through them pretty quick.

Renders Paige Tico, their thematic Gunner, pretty mediocre unless they have pilots/upgrade abilitiess that trigger off the mobile.

Would make her super cheap, though, maybe they'll have something spicy like double Gunner slots.

Yeah, I just checked the RR, and blanks are indeed results, so it can be spent. So jog my memory, wasn't there something that changed significantly from 1.0 to 2.0 that no longer let us give up a blank as a result? Was it Krennic?

Hopefully the b17s won’t have the lock action and their dial will be worse than the lambdas. These things aren’t gunships, they’re slow moving targets.

If that gets the gunner slot I'm going to be ticked.

Based off what little we can see in the conversion set image it looks to have its old dial but not has red 3 turns instead of them being white.

The bomber's dial is on the left.
