Oh I absolutely agree, the game has gotten stale. I just don't want to hear someone get crucified because they managed to thrive in that environment. It's not for the faint of heart.

Alrighty, I'll bring 4 different terradons and a baggie full of their extremities next Tuesday.

Nifty! I wonder if board sizes are gonna get bigger to accommodate these growing ships...

Should we be worried that Corey "likes" that?

Wait, people are upset that he took a really strong list and won with it? What kind of list did they think would win??

You said you knew someone who had Comicon tickies, that still the case?

I suppose it also changed things if you're playing missions or just dogfights. Ys are also walkout good for missions sure to they're generalist nature. They can ion ships that need to get away out that need to reach objectives. They can survive a while if the enemy needs to stop them, and the ion also helps keep pursuers off you as well. Turn from the Dark side, Trainer, don't give in to your hate. Ys are a good buy. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Then I shall being them this very eve!

Basically every list I write starts with an Ion Y. They are rugged and versatile. If I need him to really be a tank I'll spring for Dutch and R2-D2. It's damn expensive at 32 points but he's a pain in the ass to kill and is really good at disrupting formations and tossing out free target locks. Love Ys. I haven't gotten to use my B-Wing yet but it seems the ship fill different rolls. Both have Ion access but both guns operate totally differently. B-Wings seem to be good in crowded areas, turning sharply and blasting things. Y-Wings seem best as an advance attack--a wedge to break apart enemy formations.

Edit. Damn delayed double posts. Tricksy smart phones!

Sure, Jon, "food poisoning." What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, eh? In all seriousness, feel better bud. We'll ask for the gory deets on the LVO next week.

You still want these lovely, old school, metal Terr(ible)adons?? I'll bring them for you tomorrow. The sooner I can get my hands on the plastic ones, the better off I'll be.

Why does everyone hate on Ys? I love Ion Cannons on a turret.

You realize you play nids, right?

No no no. Watch it again. As he bounces onto his little panda bum he's totally hanging his head in shame. [big bad swear word] that guy.

There's a next week?! I could prolly swing that...

Grrrrr!!!! [big bad swear word] Pandas! My dinosaurs are eating High Elves on Tuesday.

Damn Spaniards.

I think the best thing to do is just be clear ahead of time what kind of game both parties are looking for. If you know you're playing someone who isn't gonna pull any punches, don't pull any yourself. If your opponent runs sub-optimal lists or a take-what-you've-got list, then scale it down. Historically, my worst gaming experiences is when I unknowingly waltzed into very lopsided battles. A short conversation beforehand eliminates that possibility. Also, that item should henceforth be referred to as "Third Eye of Blind". Just saying.

Pffsh. Try 4. The very phrase, "more than 1 Falcon" offends me.

Yeah, if they didn't design it with such obvious flaws, it probably would have 3 HPs, but they didn't. Also, the E-Wing is a clear rip-off of the X-Wing design. Incom should totally sue!

Oh sweet! Where's that X-Wing Games day thread......

Hey, just realized they have the headhunter and the E-Wing reversed on the pictures on that link. Also, l forgot to mention that while I'm impressed with the rules for the E-Wing, I've always hated the ship. The X-Wing looks like a bird of prey on an attack dive. The E-Wing looks like an X-Wing set to "park." The Rebel designers really got lazy after the Empire fractured. In practical terms, it's a really bad design too. Putting the engine and the gun at the tip of the wing means that if you get hit anywhere along the wing you lose both. There isn't a single spot on that entire ship that isn't vital. I know it's a silly complaint considering TIE fighters "exist" (why would you put cross-hairs on the side of your ship?!) Anyway, I remember being a kid and taking one look at that thing in one of my comic books and I instantly hated it. Now that more than one person is aware of it's "existence", I can't help but let loose a rant that's been simmering for a decade and a half.

I want to challenge someone to 150 points! But I only want to fight Imperials. Who wants a slice?

As a nekkid ship, I think E-Wings are gonna be gold. They've probably got some nifty combos available, but for 6 more points than a basic X-Wing for the same firepower, slighlty more resilience, and considerably more dodginess is a steal.
