Deluxe Range Ruler

By KaLeu, in X-Wing

From the wave IV announcement:

In addition to the eleven movement templates, you’ll also find a range ruler base and four range ruler segments that can be used individually or combined to make your measurements quick and precise.

Any ideas why there are 4 segments?

Deluxe range ruler allows players to shoot at range 4.

Edit: that was a joke

Difficult to see, the future is.

to make a range 5 ruler once you add the base.

isn't there some long range mechanic in that wave?

Imminent Epic announcement, hopefully. Future-proofing, most likely.

yeah, that's what it was.

i mean, that's not what the hyena's card text reads, but sure keep believing that.

I don't believe you're wrong, but it's such great forum bait that everybody seems eager to bite.

It's likely a practical thing: you have one for R1 and the other 3 segments are connected to make the R1-3 range ruler.

Or as stated above, HOPEFULLY it portends that Epic X-Wing is closer than anyone expects.

There are 5 total segments.

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!

(Sorry, wrong franchise)

the 5 segments can be used for 1.0 epic, but yeah, future proof for 2.0 epic, if it comes. Also, having the 5 segments allows someone to have both a range 3 and range 1 built to check ranges quickly instead of having to always pop a section off the end.

A 1, a 2, and 3 1s that connect together.

Doubtful. If the picture can be trusted there is no range 2 in the package. There is a base and 4 segments as per the blurb. All range 1.
