X-Wing: ISB Slicer FTW?


Ok, an “Oh Crap” moment with some of the new X-Wing stuff…  The ISB Slicer crew card from the Reaper pack.  It allows you to add a Jam token to a ship that is at Range 1 of the Ship you hit with a Jam.  Now, when I read that the first time I was reading it I read it as if it were Second Edition and Range 1 is NOT the ship you are measuring from…  Forgot this is First Edition and Range 1 includes the ship from which you are measuring…  So, Jam with the ISB Slicer and you can simply slap 2 (!!!) Jam tokens on the target.  EDIT:  No, not able to put two tokens on the ship, but you can eat the one  token then apply a second Jam...  The Jam eats the Target Lock, Focus or Evade tokens…  Or you can hit a target that has the TL on it, and prevent the NEXT action after it removes that lock…  Should be a decent defense against say Miranda locking up one of my Aces while I try to roll in and hit her hard…

So, modified my list to:
FelVaderReaper (99)
Scarif Base Pilot — TIE Reaper
22
Director Krennic
5
ISB Slicer
2
Lightweight Frame
2
Advanced Ailerons
0
Ship Total: 31

Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor
27
Push the Limit
3
Multi-spectral Camouflage
1
Autothrusters
2
Royal Guard TIE
0
Ship Total: 33

Darth Vader — TIE Advanced
29
Veteran Instincts
1
Advanced Targeting Computer
1
Engine Upgrade
4
TIE/x1
0
Ship Total: 35


I’d like to bring the Reaper up to the PS 6/8 one, but that would mean I drop Vader down to say, the Inquisitor…  Doable I suppose…  Will have to test…
