There's some neat looking information about missions as well - it's all looking very exciting! 🙂

Dropping a huge ship into the middle of the board sounds deeply entertaining. 😄

Like Devastator 's arrival at Scarif ...

Rexlar Brath: DREADNAUGHT HUNTER

The scenario should last three, maybe four rounds. That’s about as far as my local group got before the shop closed when we tried 1e epic 😛

Devastator was packing a bit more than a 2 die front arc.

BATTLE GR-75 TO THE RESCUE

Also, what are those Diamond upgrade symbols? I can't read the article right now.

Man, this looks outstanding.

Commander is what I had thought. New type of upgrade. 😍 Or, maybe since it's on Dreadnaught Hunter, Epic Only?

Yeah, the Huge Ship Buster card is going to be pretty awesome.

I think you’re close... if memory serves (at my age it often betrays) I thought an article or stream called it a “Command” upgrade.

We haven't seen any wing spoilers for scum, right? I hope there are some on the epic box. So far i have only seen them for the empire and first order. Maybe they won't have any due to the faction's identity.

This may not be what you were hoping for, but there is a non-faction bound wing card:

They confirmed on stream that the empire/fo card and the one generic card were the only wing cards for now.

Its already been confirmed that the wings work for small ships only.

I. can't. wait. for. epic.

this sort of stuff is what I imagined the game would be like when I first found out about it.

the trick to making Epic stick is start early. schedule event at flgs around 1130am to noon.

if we all get on board, it's going to break the game open in all the right ways. the best prospects for the growth of the game lie here

With as much information as has been distributed via stream with few readily available methods to check in the case someone (like myself) had forgotten a single detail mashed into the 1-2 hr Epic/Huge ship streams, maybe, just maybe, it might be a good idea to just accept that some people will be unaware or just out and out forget something and not be a **** about it.

Sorry, was not my intent to come off that way with my response.

Epic looks incredible. Hope it's a best seller so they keeop pumping out content like this.

The last article was all about the C-ROC ship, which is Scum (and Villainy).

Well, that was more about the ship than large scale battles.

While that might make sense thematically, I would tend to think S&V can still have wings because the mechanic is about making gameplay better over all.

All factions can have wings.

All wings are Small ships only.

All wings pull damage from the wing Leader, Biggs-style.

Most wings are all one ship type.

There are only two unique wing upgrades:

• Empire upgrade to fly a TIE Advanced (x1 or v1) with TIE/lns

• FO Upgrade to fly a SF or VN with FOs or SFs. Limited to 3 wingmen.

This is my favorite thing about wings! Elite pilots can finally be relevant in Epic without getting annihilated in one round.

This will also make Fanatical TIE/fo wingmen quite good. They can take a hit off the leader and activate free mods. Imagine Kylo + 3 TIE/fo wingmen, a wing of 4-5 TIE/sf, and a Raider. Based on what they've hinted at for points, that should all fit.
