I tried the Veteran Gunner/Turret Gunner on the ships but
have yet to get it to actually go at all…
Not once. So, Kanan comes back
and we’ll see. Norra becomes the Blitzer
who just runs right at the enemy and blocks…
With Zeb, Intimidation and the Scrambler I should be able to shoot in
base contact while they are -1 Agility.
Yes, they can shoot back, but I get the +1 Evade. Also, Dash should be trailing at a distance
to pile in the heavy Attacks… Will see I
suppose how this works out. This sort of
list flies so much differently than the Ace type lists I am good at where I can
just fly and react as things happen…
Trust in my ability to fly it well.
This seems the other side of that coin where Dash needs to stay far away
at all costs. Not a lot of the Daffy
Duck “Parry, Dodge, Lunge” that I do with the Aces… Still not convinced the Rebels really have much of a chance at this point, but will keep trying I suppose...
Had my Dash go from full to almost dead in a single round
today, so getting in close and bumping is bad, but the Critical Cascades are
just beyond brutal… Fuel Leak being the
second (of three) Criticals that hit him in a single attack… So, 3 Damage became 5 like that. So, not entirely convinced that Large Bases
are going to be usable in this Edition with the Damage just piling up that
quickly… Certainly NOT like they were in
v1 with Dash being a Meta staple until the end there. Faced a Dengar in the JM5K in the last Event… Was unimpressed. The ship itself just is nowhere as good and
the abilities lock you into a forward Arc that can be dodged easily
enough. And of course with the game
itself getting so much more deadly he lacks the staying power he had in the old
game. Will see how this list plays out
over time I suppose… It IS fun, and
likely what I’ll play until the Third Wave hits…
Speaking of that… SO looking forward to my beloved Jedi J… Since I identify pretty well with Anakin (the Clone Wars version at least) with the… Let’s call them “anger issues” coupled with the being really good at the whole fighting thing… Pretty much summed up here:
The Jedi Fighters (Delta 7’s) look amazing. Fly like the Fang or TIE Interceptor, but
with Force users and what look to be Force actions. Not sure if they will be efficient, but they
look perfect for me and a lot of fun to fly.
The ARC-170’s are back and look amazing as well… Not so sure about the V-19 Torrents… Seem “OK”, but almost like something closer
to a Z-95 in terms of abilities… So,
filler ships I suspect for me, and so not really something I am overly
interested in. Will see. Much depends on the points they end up costing of course, and as that is not information we have at this point is I think pointless to try to build lists or anything. Just looking forward to snagging these when they DO come out.
Re-watching the “Clone Wars” series, had
forgotten how good it actually was. I
did prefer “Rebels” personally, but like I said, I could see where the older
series was really quite good. NOT a kids
show, really aimed at the Star Wars crowd and I think they hit their mark
well. So much so that the much maligned “prequel”
movies actually seem a lot better… Well
for me at least J…
And even then I am ignoring/forwarding through the parts with Jar Jar and some
of the more overly dramatic parts with Anakin. In the Clone Wars, he was portrayed as a real
bad ass who could be a cold blooded killer when push came to shove… So, his fall to the Dark Side was not a
surprise at all as it was in the movies…
Well, we all knew it was coming, but it just seemed to be lazy writing
how “and this happens” hit… But of
course, I have no clue how much got cut out of the movies that might have made
it make more sense watching it… But watching
the Clone Wars between the second and third movie made it all fit in quite well.
