[Blog] The Poe Chronicles: Episode 4 - And Here Comes the Parade.

By MidWestScrub, in X-Wing

@gennataos 's newest Poe Chronicles is out! Check it out here, and let us know what you think.

Nice read! Good luck @gennataos - I hope you take the world by storm :)

Ryan here (RAC/Vader), I really enjoyed Mark and I's game. It was intense game-wise, but I felt both of us were very loose and laid back and the game itself was a lot of fun. I was hoping to get picked to battle again in the finals. It'll be interesting to see how he adapts the list to hyperspace and if it'll still be good. I think resistance will be strong in hyperspace.

Hey, Ryan, thanks! Great, fun game! I kind of expected to see you get picked, to tell you the truth.

Missed opportunity.

Cool article.

Good of you to realize that being the best of the middle might not be the best at all. Good scrubbing.

What was your formation like for 4 Xs?

And I do think Poe is slightly overcosted too. Not by much, but say 2 points.

I know. But then I would feel obliged to change it in the article, on Reddit, Facebook, etc... And that seems like work. Lol.

Every tagline is a direct Poe quote, but I suppose compromises could have been made here. ;)

It depends on rock placement and the opposing list. Generally the rookies are spread toward one corner, but not IN the corner and Poe placement is even more flexible. I don’t have more specifics than that, I’m kind loosey goosey.

Do you like the spread out goose approach?

I find with 4 ship rebels its not that effective. Been considering the hard swarm approach. 3 xwings in tight formation, Poe trailing a little behind by about 1 range so he can boost in if needed

Yeah, I generally try to set up a spread approach from different angles/distances to create more approach/pursuit vectors after the initial engagement. It doesn’t always work out that way, but I usually don’t have a problem having everyone converge at the same time.
