Anyway, back to X-Wing it seems. Played “Tanks” this weekend. Beer & Pretzels WWII tank combat. Fairly simple game, but fun. The German Puma was actually pretty darn
solid for me. I was surprised, but then
I did a fair bit of the whole Armored Cav thing in the old days, so am fairly
familiar with how that works. So perhaps
a few more to hit the tables for me. and motivating me to get my American M-3's built...
Looking like I’m playing either my BAY list or a Rey/(Y-Wing
or B-Wing) list in Mattoon. Not so much
that I am going easy, but I think I need to practice with these things:

Now this one is amusing…
Horton on the Y-Wing can chuck a BUNCH of the upgrades through Chopper
to regenerate Shields. The wording on
the Extra Munitions card adds an EM token to every bomb, missile and torpedo
upgrade. Combine that with the fact that
the EM card and Bomb Loadout both would then technically gain tokens that could
be discarded to add Shields. So, more
shields than I should ever be able to regenerate during a normal game at least. Rey's ship I have 2 basic builds... Kanan or C3-P0 and the new vs. the old title. C3-P0/old title is a tanky build that can realistically just completely evade a HLC or Harpoon Missile. The Kanan/TFA title is maneuverable and I think more fun... So, likely what I'll play here.
Other potential build is the BAY build:
Horton Salm — Y-Wing | 25 |
Twin Laser Turret | 6 |
Bomb Loadout | 0 |
"Chopper" (Astromech) | 1 |
Guidance Chips | 0 |
BTL-A4 Y-Wing | 0 |

Collision Detector | 0 |
"Mangler" Cannon | 4 |
Operations Specialist | 3 |

This one is a LOT more fun... The A-Wing is slippery, but still just a 2 Dice Attack. Ten Numb is amusing and Horton is pretty solid... Just dies against a higher end "Meta" list, but fun to fly and another contender for the Titan event with the wave restrictions... This or the Star Viper list with three of the bastards...
