For those of us who don't have enough friends in the game or a good local scene, or who just want to get better at flying, Sandrem has done the incredible work of making a PC emulator in FlyCasual.

And for those of us who have a strong competitive streak, playing against an AI is missing some sense of personal fulfillment. After all, what's the good of pulling out that fantastic victory if you can't go bragging about it?

For this reason, I hereby introduce the FlyCasual Boasting Thread!

Two main entry forms come to mind:

1. "I beat 5 Cartel Marauders with [____]!"

2. "My list 200 point list was able to beat [x number of] Cartel Marauders/Blue Squadron X-Wings!"

Include a Screenshot of your achievement if at all possible (pics or it didn't happen).

Let the boasting commence!

Pff, only 5 cartel marauder?

You are like a tiny baby. Watch this!


To be fair, the AI really isn't that good. You can probably do 7 with a proper list and good practice! And the phantom is the bane of the AI, it can rarely predict correctly where you're going.

So true. A lot of my squads contain Echo, the poor AI simply can't handle it. 200-0 wins are a regular occurrence with the trip ace lists she's in.

I will attempt to beat it with only Echo and nothing else....

Have found 5 Marauders one of the hardest AI squads though.

So true! Maybe is because they are pretty straight forward jousters, no need for fancy manoeuvres or repositioning.

The way the AI deploys also makes it a weird one. With a normal jousting block, you obviously bait and avoid it using cover. The AI just covers the board from end to end and says nowhere to go! Then, if you fail to alpha one end of the line in the 1st engagement, it gets tricky.

Beat 5 Cartel Marauders 3x today with RAC/Maarek! 3rd time I still had both ships left.

Can't wait for the internet mode so I can play others.

Any other crazy list ideas, I just beat 6 kimo’s with qd kylo tavson lol, tavson is very much not fair to jousters

Ok just tried 6 blade b wings with crack and shield upgrade with fel vader and two bombers, much harder I lost lol

When I play this software, I try to give an easy-flying formation with a lot of points to chew. That makes job harder.

FlyCasual is good, but the AI is not providing the best support for Aces abilities.

But I say a great HOORAY for the choice of obstacles in the next version. That will bring so much more on the table

Yeah the AI doesn’t do repositioning and doesn’t really know special abilities. Best to stick with beefy lists like Xs, Bs, and Kihraxzes.

I don’t think it can bomb either.

I find 5CM a reasonable Benchmark of list performance. If I can’t consistently beat it, I won’t be seeing success with my list IRL.

I know we're supposed to be boasting OUR victories in this thread, but whenever I play a random list and Luke with Instinctive Aim+Proton Torpedos pop up, he just kicks my A! Every shot seems to land paint! It makes it a lot harder to pull out a win, but I still enjoy the game. Cheers to the AI.

I only want to punch my monitor once when I accidentally Skip an attack!

I just beat Sloane Swarm with my 2x Reaper and 5x Tie fighter !

Next time against the 5x Marauder or 4x t-70

Edit : I did it, a tough one ! They Ps kill my Reapers but the tie did the job !

Been trying with a Dash/Lando list but haven't managed to work it out yet. Anyone have ideas for a good kit against 5CM?

I want to try it but i can't get the thing to open once I've downloaded it 😡

It may be your security settings. You'll likely have to give it permission to run. You may have to dig a bit, but there's useful info in the Fly Casual thread.

ok cheers

If you're on Mac, you have to right-click on it and select "Open", then when it asks if you're sure say yes.

It does this because it's a downloaded application and the security doesn't want to let bugs/viruses in easily.

Ok thank you.

Try against 5 blade b wings with shield upgrade and crack shot...I find the computer flys b wings better then cartel marauders. The kimos just create their own traffic jams too easy, I can’t beat 6 for the life of me but that’s almost a 300 point list so I understand, too many arcs, but 5 seems like a doable challenge

4 T-70s is also a solid choice, for their maneuvrability.

I agree, the bombs are not dropped with the AI.

The next thing I would like very much to be corrected is that I would be able to position the ships of the computer, so they can try to fly in formation, to face an usual formation of our opponents.

Yeah, the Instinct Luke and Outmanoeuvre Wedge list kicks like a mule. Fortunately, it can't manoeuvre for toffee, which makes it easy meat for Echo

Of the AI lists, Boba, Joy and Recruit can sometimes give me a hard time. Their dice can be impenetrable when they want to be. I had a few attempts at taking it on with just Echo. The dice just kept saying no, take 6 hits from 2 attacks and I gave up, lol.

5x CM is definitely the trickiest though.

Boba can certainly brings pain, but the choice of action of the computer is not that good.

I haven't tried against 4 fangs. I think it can be also a good matchup.

Yeah, the default reinforce nerfs him a bit but it does buy a lot of time for the Fangs if you don't take them 1st. So you kinda have to go for them and ignore him. Its not difficult then, if Bob takes a roundabout route.

Unsure if it will do well with 4 Fangs. They need the range control and being spread should make them easy to pick off. May give it a go and see.
