Ah, emergency points updates… One of the big “you need to prepare for this
degeneration” lists was the First Order’s triple Upsilon Shuttle list… Lt. Dormitz and 2 basic Starkiller base ships
to have Hyperspace Trackers and likely Collision Detectors to set up at I6, 2
of them Range 2 from the LT…. With 3
Green Tokens (Focus and/or Evade) allowing the lead ship to have 3 Tokens,
Reinforced Shields AND a Target Lock rolling up to assault on Turn 1… POSSIBLE to get away from it IFF you have
fast ships or maybe just the 6+ Ship swarm?
But essentially several groups did the “how to” deal with it practices
and YouTube videos… Good stuff, but then
FFG released the emergency update raising the LT’s cost from 60 to 70 AND
taking the Hyperspace Trackers from 2 up to 10 each… So, FFG was able to kill off the most
degenerate list I’ve seen in this Edition quickly and efficiently.
Still waiting on Wave 3 for my Hyperspace stuff… HOPING to have my Jedi before 4 May and the
event that Red Raccoon is holding…. With
the articles hitting weekly it SHOULD be out soon, but rumors have it being
delayed to Q2, so will see… Frankly, if
I do not have my Jedi I am not at all sure what I’ll fly… Rebels likely, Torpedoes being a thing and
all… Wedge, a Y-Wing with Dutch or Norra
and something else? Either Luke in his
X-Wing or a U-Wing with Leia/Coordinate…
Seems decent, but frankly not what I really WANT to fly… Have been flying my B-Wing lists a lot in the
local League and doing well with it… Of
course the B’s are Wave 4, so no chance really of them being HS legal in time.
But until then? Think
I remained at the top of the local League with a 5-1 record and REALLY solid
MoV… Need to play out the “tournament”
portion of it as these first 2 Months were merely the “regular season” of the
NHL, and the single elimination event will be determining the winner I suppose… Though, looking at the documentation I think
the important thing for me gets distributed by the standings of the run up
portion… The “deluxe Wave 2 Kit” being
the prizes I am interested in of course…
Metal Force Tokens, some cards I suppose… So, we’ll see how this gets distributed I
guess. The single elimination event is
for Store Credit which is OK I suppose, especially with Wave 3 on the way, but
frankly I am playing for the Alt Arts and tokens J…. Weird, but far less interested in credit
since I can do the math and know how much per hour that translates to and it is
just not really all that interesting to me I suppose in that light...
For the finals? Still
extended and I have my 3 Scurrgs now…
So, likely running this as the “I’m just here to kill things” list…

NOT subtle. Yes, my
ancestry is Scottish, why do you ask? Roll
right at them, count on the likely double modifications and sheer number of
shots from the really solid Scurrg chassis to just throw out SO much damage
that it just kills enough of the other side before I die… Another list on a timer like my B-Wings, and
of course sticking with the theme of “do not bother to try and dodge, just kill
them first” or as Aahz said “the best Defense is a solid Offense”…
Well, that or my B-Wing list… Unless the Jedi arrive in time of course…
