I can certainly do that. I appreciate your efforts into compiling this information.

So we all on for tomorrow night? I'm all over the place on what I want to run this weekend (and probably will still be after test playing them)... So I want to get at least 3 games in so I can try the three top contenders right now... ... ... But I probably won't be there till 6 tomorrow =/ No more early nights for me for awhile.

i plan on being there. no store tourneys in my immediate future, so i can run whatever you feel you need to play against.

otherwise i'll put together something i was going to run a few weeks ago.

Well, I'm thinking about one of the following:

Luke w/ ST

Blue w/ SJ

Blue w/ SJ

Green

Dutch w/ ICT

Ibby

Blue w/ AdvS

Green

Rookie w/ R2D2

Blue w/ AdvS

Blue w/ AdvS

Roark w/ ICT

Red

Luke w/ ST

Dutch w/ ICT

Green

Gahh... I can't decide...

Isn't Sensor jammers just about useless against a TIE swarm, as aren't they just going to focus you you anyways when they want to kill you?

Doesn't it go Attacker rolls, say gets one hit, one crit, one eye.

Attacker doesn't re-roll

You change the hit into an eye

Attacker then focuses both eyes into hits?

I don't have my rule book handy so I'm not positive on the sequence.

That being I like the SJ on Ibby, I'm just not sold on it on the other Bs.

That's essentially the right sequence. But a swarm relies upon BR to navigate the asteroid field. So any time that they're going to have to BR, they lose an attack die. And the longer the match goes on, the better SJ gets. Thus why I'm thinking of presenting Luke as a juicy target at the beginning. But he himself isn't a cake to kill. Afterwards, the A will help jam everything up so they get action denied. Meanwhile, the Bs will just keep SJ one shot at a time. If it works once, its the same cost as a shield. And unlike stealth, it pretty much should always work at least once.

It's also rather good against alpha strikes, since it forces you to have a TL+F in order to actually make use of the missiles/torpedoes. Playing with it the past few weeks, I think it's one of the most underrated mods there is. And part of that might be because AdvS goes in the same slot.

I ran it on Ibby in a pure over expensive B-wing list with just Ibby and Numb. Worked like a charm on Ibby until I had a brain fart a flew her right into an asteroid, which cost her a shield, and both her actions and kept her from being stressed. I got hammered by the swarm I was trying to out maneuver. Numb still almost managed to pull it out though. He had Advanced Sensors which is simply amazing on him.

Needless to say I like all 3 of the sensor upgrades, I think all three are really good.

I should be there today. I'm going to run my rebel list, and I might try out a swarm for S and G's.

I'll be there as well.

Nice. So, I followed Johdo's lead, and rolled all 24 of my dice... and pretty much confirmed what I already knew. My evade dice suck balls, and my hit dice rock.

But, I did pick the 6 best of each (well, best 5 hit and the worst one for asteroids)... which were basically the same hit dice I was using, and the 6 evade dice I was not using.

Nothing says 3/8 chance of blank than having more blanks than evade + focus combined.

To be fair, I'm not convinced that the results were accurate, they were rather streaky, and I've read somewhere that dice have a natural tendency to roll to the same side when "quickly" rolled again. I made sure that I shook each one for like 5 seconds before rolling it across the table, but I'm unsure that was enough. If I ever do it again, I might roll them against a wall since apparently that prevents any "dice rolling skills" (thus why you're required to in casinos) and makes a more truly random outcome.

well i can certainly admit that my method was purely NOT scientific, but i did notice some differences in my dice. I even went back after the initial roll, and re-rolled the ones i singled out as "better". then compared them to the ones that didn't make the cut. The singled-out ones still performed better on an average.

Yes it sounds crazy. It's even more crazy when you repeat the crazy behavior, and record your results.

Which brings me to my next point...

I won't be able to make it tonight. Wife has decreed that since it's her birthday this week (yes, our birthdays are a week apart), i should stick around the house.

To add insult to injury, starting next week i'll be gone for 2 weeks on business. After said trip, we'll be in the red zone for baby arrival so game-time for me will be on a week to week basis.

I've been assured that game-time won't disappear completely (yay!), but it's going to be reduced quite a bit. I guess it just depends on how well i perform my new-dad duties.

Oh well. I was going to say bring your bad dice, and I'll play with them to see if there is a difference. I've consistently been your worst opponent in terms of rolling I think, so I would be interested to see if my dice are loaded or not. Maybe next time you're out we'll try that.

Happy Birthday's all around.

Ya know, that truly would be the ultimate test eh? LOL, i'm not sure worst opponent is the right term...but you certainly are the luckiest! (next to another friend of mine, but that dude i swear was born with a 4-leaf clover up his ass)

It's a proven fact that dice hate me...so why should yours be any different?

I suppose this will ultimately force me to get Vassal up and running now...

About the dice situation, I am seriously just considering building my own dice tower. That might turn around my whole streak of bad rolling.

I contributed to the Dice Tower kickstarter this year, so i'll be getting one of theirs here soon.

Whoo.. I placed first in this one.. so the pressure is off on the others.. You guys sure y'all can't come to RIWs?

Congrats. After playing your last couple of builds, I'm not too surprised, they were really solid. What were the opponents running out of curiosity?

Which tourney was this?

Congrats!! Well played sir!

It was in PA. I spent the weekend out visiting my family and there was just conveniently a store champ right there =P. I played a vader howl swarm, 4 X squad (that was a huge noob) and the toughest game (and the guy that came in 2nd) was 3 alpha 2 academy and howl flown in formation for the first few turns. He torn through my squad in the first few turns, but failed navigating a tight asteroid field.. meanwhile my gsp w/ ptl once again was the mvp and won the game for me.. 3v1? No problem for him. I'm pretty sure half of my recent wins can be attributed to him.

Nice job! That's awesome to hear.

Now if we match up in the RIW one, you can let me win
