That's pretty cool that we're getting a ship that can skip a maneuver for stress. What's the rebel equivalent I wonder...

The rebel equivalent is probably the b-wing moving 1 forward and then barrel rolling backwards.

That's saying that the "leaked" dials are correct. Maybe that or the 2-K turn.

I have the dials in my possession. The B-wing indeed has a speed 2 k-turn. Neither the shuttle nor the HWK-290 have k-turns.

dbmeboy, if you could post pics of the contents (maneuver dials, packaging cards, tokens and such) I'd be in your debt.

I will eventually if nobody else beats me to it. I've somewhat overloaded my schedule this year, but I should be able to find time to get that done. In the mean time, Team Covenant has a full series of unboxing videos, though I don't think they show the dials.

No, they just show the stuff from the FFG spoilers.

It's up to you! Don't make me quote the hologram of Leia

Is it a 0 forward?

It looks like zero "nothing". It is new type of bearing so the navigator would not work here.

Awwwww that sucks O well, awesome move none the less.

The 0 is "stationary" bearing. So navigator will not help you un-do it. A friend sent me a pic of the rules last night.

I can confirm this.

Too bad you couldn't change facing though

Have you seen anyone play wave 3 yet dmeboy?

So if you pulled a 0 maneuver and then the Lambda Shuttle gets hit by an ion turret, it will move forward next turn, correct?

The image of the shuttle coming to a complete stop then suddenly get pushed forward because of the ion turret amuses me for some reason.

Lol. Seeing as it can't maneuver so well, it will be an easy target if left by itself.

I havent noticed yet, but how does the B-Wing barrel roll backwards?

The same way any ship does: start with the template along the back edge of the ship and end with it along the front edge. Combined with a speed 1 maneuver the B-wing can move forward very slowly.

Look at the example for the barrel roll action in the rulebook. You can choose where to place the move 1 template along the side of the ship's base, so you can actually move it slightly forward or backwards. It's still going to the side, but you can add a little movement forward or backward at the same time.

Surprised me too.

You can basically turn anything with a hard 1 on the spot this way. Either hard 1+barrel roll for a 90 degree turn or if you have PTL and a boost you can hard 1+boost+barrel roll for 135 degrees.

Holy crap! The nuances of this game's rules continues to amaze me! I never realized that I could adjust the base up or down long the template. I have always done a perfectly lateral move. Thanks for the "open your eyeballs and look dumba@@ moment". I have been reading hints of this other places and never put it together or thought to re-read the rules to clarify for myself, lol.
