On Monday I tried out of the list I was thinking of running for reigonals, Whisper, OL and Inky. Whisper got destroyed in a single hit. :( It was a combination of really bad luck and very poor piloting. I 'm going to try to get at least one practice game with this list, but I'm not expecting to do very good this weekend, but might as well play, the entry's free with the ticket.

I also picked up the interceptor pack, so now I have 3 intreceptors. And I finally got my SD I got from Ebay. :)

Any goons going to Tacoma Reigonals (at ETX) this weekend? I might seen you there. Do the secret goon sign.

There isn't a secret Goon sign

I'm going to be there tomorrow

General Battuta vs ConfusedUs is scheduled to start in about 45 minutes.

He's flying Wedge, Jan Ors, and Biggs. I'm flying MAD COW DISEASE.

Who will triumph?

EDIT: Also, good luck against the cow squad, General Battuta! Don't let 'em pin you against the side of the table for half the game, like what happened to ol' fat Han last game I had with the cows! :saddowns:

Have you considered swapping three of the tractors for an ion cannon? Get the two cannon shuttles in the back, cannon-less shuttles up front, and you've got an actual nightmare setup for anyone to deal with.

What a great game! The cows absolutely dominated the opening, killing Biggs and Jan on turn 2 of combat, but Wedge was able to clean up three of them on his own and a third flew off the board.

It came down to a turning fight between Wedge and the last shuttle. I made one key error (a 2t instead of a 3t) leaving me at 1 hull with no BB-8, and then it came down to the last dial: head to head, or do I try to dodge the firing arc and get behind him?

Should've picked head to head!

If I wanted to fly something that's actually good, I wouldn't be flying 4 lambda shuttles.

Also if you have cows, you have to have tractors!

I can't believe I was able to turn that thing around and get back into the fight.

I kinda want to fly a lambda with Baffles and Engine now. It might actually be a decent dogfighter.

Overdesigned wrecked my imp aces lists. Got his two z95s with missles before he finished me off. His shuttle deployment was awesome. I took some aggressive gambles over the asteroids... and got soontir murdered for it. These lessons are why I'm playing imperials... they're so squishy and I'm bad with them. Now I know a few things I plan on NOT doing next game. Gg to Overdesigned, was a fun match and he earned that win!

It's the most HP you can get in a 100 point list, I believe. They're also huge blockers and with baffles, they can control range better than any ship in the game.

However they're still extremely vulnerable to arc dodging.

Whenever it comes down to Palp bus when I'm runing Sheev+aces I'll pretty much automatically concede. There's just no goddamn way. That thing handles like that enormous treaded vehicle they used to use to transport the space shuttle.

Give us a Bovine Ace pack that gives it a PWT, or at least an aux arc. Look at all the guns on that model.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think the Lambda needs a buff of the magnitude you suggest. A rear arc or a primary weapon turret would take the Lambda from powerful (but clunky) to broken.

Baffles allow it to actually turn around or hover (or both). They're basically howitzers now. Lambdas are fine.

I'll try them with Waffles, but that reduces my all-important bid from 97 to 98.

I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.
Got it a couple games in tonight with Corbeau and Some Numbers. It's the first time I've played at the FLGS and I had a blast. I ran Whisper/Vader/OL first against brobots then against XXX.

I got my poo poo absolutely pushed in by brobots thanks in large part to my own error. It turns out that pulling a K turn with Whisper that leaves her in arc of both of the brobots (with no cloak, tokens, or anything) on turn two and getting her obliterated makes it difficult to win.

The second game had the best moment of the night when Whisper took a 4 dice shot from Poe. Range one, cloaked, with focus. He rolled 4 hits and Whisper rolled four blanks and went *poof*. It was hilarious. I ain't even mad. I believe pictures of this moment exist.

Thanks for the games, guys, it was super fun!
