Tractor Beams: so overpowered they need a significant nerf.

This is 100% how I've interpreted it and literally never heard it said otherwise. Is there something somewhere that defines round other than being once every PS has been worked through and every ship has completed their maneuver/action if possible?

Why do nerds just make up rules for this game? How does anyone think a round is a match? Jesus christ.

But no rules language on cards ever references tournament language. In fact, Round is literally defined in the rules reference.

We have all been using Tractor Beams incorrectly this whole time! It all makes so much sense now! Of course FFG wouldn't design a mechanic like that and let you move an enemy ship all willy nilly every game turn on a successful hit. It's once a game only! I hope they add this to the next FAQ! loving hell.

I guess once Corran Horn does his double tap, he's not allowed to attack for the ENTIRE NEXT GAME

Absolutely this. lazerus06 posted:I always assumed a round is a planning/activation, action/combat/resolve and matches make up multiple rounds. I've always considered activation, combat, etc. to be "phases", with a round being comprised of one of each of the phases. Not sure if that's what they're called in the rules, though. overdesigned posted:I guess once Corran Horn does his double tap, he's not allowed to attack for the ENTIRE NEXT GAME Chill la Chill posted:Explains why he isn't seen in the top tables.

By the same logic focus and evade tokens don't get removed in between turns and the Comm Relay let's you carry evades between games.

Once Per Round: Miranda Doni Red Ace Tomax Bren IG-88B Dengar Jan Ors Sabine Wren C-3P0 Kanan Gunner/Luke - If you ever use them, you cannot attack again this round at all. Guidance Chips Experimental Interface Automated Protocols Optimized Generators Agent Kallus Rebel Captive (presumeably the shot kills them) Palpatine Greedo Rage (Reroll up to 3 dice every single time you attack during the "round") Marksmanship (One Action to get a Super Focus for the rest of the "round") Push The Limit Expose (+1 Attack, -1 Agility the rest of the "round") Hmm yes this sounds like a ruling I can get behind. EDIT: OK actually Tomax gets to use an upgrade card twice so technically his ability isn't useless Admiral Joeslop fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jun 30, 2016 |

On the FF website: The Game Round X-Wing is played over a series of game rounds. During each game round, players perform the following four phases in order: 1. Planning Phase: Each player secretly chooses one maneuver for each of his ships by using its maneuver dial. 2. Activation Phase: Each ship moves and performs one action. In ascending order of pilot skill, reveal each ship’s maneuver dial, and execute the chosen maneuver. Then each ship may perform one action. 3. Combat Phase: Each ship may perform one attack. In descending order of pilot skill, each ship can attack one enemy ship that is inside its firing arc and within range. 4. End Phase: Players remove unused action tokens from their ships (except target locks) and resolve any “End Phase” abilities on cards. After resolving the End Phase, a new game round begins starting with the Planning phase. This continues until one player destroys all of his opponent’s ships. Each of these phases is discussed in greater detail over the next few pages

Improbable Lobster posted:Someone tell me how stupid it is to put R3-A2 on Wes and what I should do with him instead It's not stupid at all, Stress Jansen is amazing. Needs either VI or Adaptability, though, so he can gently caress with Omega Leader, Vader, and Soontir before they shoot. For a while there I ran him with R3-A2, VI, and Flechette Torpedo so that even if you blanked out you'd still double-stress and strip a token. Stress Jansen is like Ant-Man. He doesn't care if he actually hits anything, he's just happy to be there.

So, I got into this game around 4 or so months ago. I've been slowly getting better but lately my green dice had decided to completely poo poo themselves. Seriously, on the first shot fired at me last night by a Phantom against my Vessery, he modified into 4 hits at range 3 through a rock and I roll 5 blanks. This set the tone for the rest of the night. Afterwards, in my despair, I came to an epiphany. What if I didn't have to roll green dice? What if I threw so many red dice at a high enough PS that my agility didn't matter? This is the list I came up with: http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=...amed%20Squadron When you have a gimmick you go all in. Line up and joust. Fly into range 1 as fast a possible and get those sweet sweet 5 reds. Zuckuss also has a tractor just in case you need to pull someone a bit closer. Man I hope the Protectorate Fighter has a decent dial.

So with the new Vets stuff, how do people feel about a Ruthless Vessery with the tractor beam? Being able to shuffle a ship song before dealing the ping damage sounds neat, and could potentially save you from hitting your own ships. Only issue I see is getting him to shoot first.

Well, I just don't know if it will be that good considering TIE/D is only going to give you the two-fer once per game.

This sounds pretty good really if you give him the Tie/D title. Drag someone into range, Target lock, then shoot them. I'm not sure you even need the Ruthlessness though so you could go for VI.

Ruthlessness is funny for using the reactor beam to drag someone into range one of Soontir/Whisper/Unhittable Ace and do damage they can't roll dice against. Twice per turn. I suddenly have a mighyty need to run two Glaives like that plus OL (or something 28 points)

Yeah it does make blockers a bit more of a liability if they're shipping damage as well. It gets round the Tractors usual problem of wanting to be high in the PS order as you get to do the shooting as well.

I've seen a ton of guys who only play at home, not an FLGS, who make up rules in their head. At regionals it was that Phantom has to have its dial set before it leaves the Ghost or I can't release it. I don't know who Duncan or Derek are.

I ran Calen Wong's Ghost and Biggs list from the Evergreen Tabletop Expo last night at FFG's Imperial Vets release, finished 3-1, and got a Biggs alt-art card for finishing 11th. X-Wing is a cool game. What's everyone's strategy with the new colored bases? Manaroo gets blue, Wedge gets orange, but after that I'm at a loss. These seem like really good $8 investments.
