Confused about the squad builder app

By Knucklesamwich, in X-Wing

I am just getting switched over to 2.0 and have question. I have downloaded the squad builder and played a couple regular games. I hate having to use the app for everything but there is no getting beyond that thing. My question is how in The heck do I build an epic squad on the app? I don’t see epic anywhere as a choice. My son bought me the epic conversion and I would love to use it but I am scratching my head right now. Thanks for any help.

You don't. The app is deprecated and is supposedly being replaced. Use YASB or LBN in the meantime.

To clarify the previous post, YASB is Yet Another Squad Builder and LBN is Launch Bay Next, available on your phone's App Store.

You are serious? They released a conversion kit and REQUIRE an app that does not work???

Their app has always been... questionable since 2.0 launched. Officially, the app is being replaced and we've been told to use the official PDFs for point references... unofficially, they know they were conned by whomever they had make the app for them and these other apps, especially YASB, have always worked better and more reliably than the official one... and they support epic as well as being more adaptable to "house rules" point rules and faction restrictions.

Well no. You could always just add it up. Or use the easy, free online options.

Every SW story features a technological terror that ultimately dooms it's creator.

For FFG, it's the app.
