Pretty simple, the “Warthog” Y-Wings fly using their Green 3’s
and a Boost action to get as close as they can, hoping for Range 1. Range 1 they have the 3 Dice Primary Weapon
attack and the 2 Dice Auto Blaster… Now,
the AB cannot be dodged by anything, so this is a VERY nice one to track down
some of the difficult to hit TIEs and the like…
Emon bombs things and Stress tokens all around… Fun list, but I suspect it will not be one of
the “top tier” lists… But it will
surprise a lot of folks who ignore the slow, poorly armed Y-Wings…
Other gaming… Well,
playing D&D Attack Wing and STAW it looks like… Liking the Dragons, and they fixed most all
of the issues I had with STAW, but too late I fear to save the game locally… Shame, it is a fun one with reasonable
players… X-Wing has a large group playing locally,
hopefully more of the Gopher folks will get (back) into the game…
40K actually looks to be making a small comeback with
leagues and the like at the Gopher…
Still can’t say I have any particular interest though. Sorry, for the cost of the latest Codex for
one army and the DLC/Supplemental Codices I have a pretty solid X-Wing force
already. The pace of releases is SLOW
for X-Wing by comparison as well. Good
in some ways, but it does lead to the possibility of stagnation I guess. With a new third Faction, there seems to be a
LOT of new life in the game and of course there are those movies coming up… But back to 40K… New armies that have not really existed
before are hitting the shelves. Ad Mech
(Adepticus Mechanicus) is the latest…
Looks like it has potential and with the obvious tie in to the
Forgeworld Horus Heresy stuff that is EXTREMELY popular… Not my cup of team, mind, but nice models I
guess. Shame, there were a few now
former locals who used to REALLY want to play Ad Mech, but they left the area
and/or the game. I am still finding more
stuff in the basement and I am not thrilled with how much 40K stuff I have to
be honest… Heck, between that and the
firearms I’d like to get rid of, I could easily afford a nice new(er) bike… Well once I sell the Magna and then the
Silverwing I guess… Eh, LONG term plans
I guess. Will have to look into an
online “garage sale” to sell off things, but as I am not in a hurry, not really
looking to just dump them… Well, except
for the Magna… That I want gone ASAP,
but need to get the title straightened out still…
