Gearing up for a Legion event tomorrow… And at the 500 point level it seems that I
have only one legal option with my limited forces… CPT Rex leading out my 3 Squads of Clones
(max size, 2 heavy AP rifles, 1 Rotary Blaster) and the speeder loaded out with
the RPG sidecar… Nothing horribly
impressive honestly. Rex allows a great
deal of the Clone synergy to shine and as long as I can keep them together to
support each other and stay out of close combat…. We have Blasters, shoot them. Nothing OP I suspect, and looking at the
(few) larger events standings the Republic tends to do… Poorly.
Much to do with the extremely limited pool of Units from which to choose
I suspect. We do really struggle against
some things like the Imperials kitted out with Heavy Armor in either their Tank
or AT-ST backed by either just bodies en masse or Elites like the Death
Troopers…
It will be an amusing distraction at the least as things
wind down for the end of the Semester here.
Rewriting my Cover Letter per suggestions stemming from feedback from my
last failed application here. I keep
getting close, and perhaps with this feedback I’ll get a bit closer. Honestly I do not remember offhand the number
of interviews I’ve done over the last 2 years, but by now I am actually getting
quite good at THAT portion at least.
Sadly, most of the interviews are external and so of a much lower “value”
to me currently… After meeting with
Engineering’s HR, I got far better answers that I was able to find on my own and
I need to hit 55 to “retire” from the University and most likely take a
position elsewhere. Mind, I can resign
and get my massive overload of Vacation and Sick time paid out, and my
Retirement Account is Self-Managed, so that is all fully vested and follows me
just fine. Just won’t be drawing from it
for a long time so it just builds in value as I’ve invested the bulk in things
that DO just earn interest and pay Dividends.
My “gambling” style tends to run only to things I can actually control
and so I followed the advice of an old friend who put it simply as “only invest
in things that pay you Dividends, anything else is just speculation or gambling”. Still sending out applications at a much lower
pace, looking mostly in the TX/AZ/OK areas.
I have to admit I was really quite impressed by the (several) places I
did interview with in TX and the visits were exhausting but enlightening. No vacations really for me, but I did
spend a few of my days on that before
losing a bunch yet again as I can only carry forward 2 years’ worth…
X-Wing? I’ve changed
my Dual Firespray list a bit, dropping the Stealth Generator on Boba Fett’s
ship to put in Proton Bombs on Krassis’ ship.
I found myself FAR too often wishing I had a bomb there and it is
amusing to do the “Oprah” thing and declare “You get a Crit, You get a Crit and
You get a Crit”… A shame that the other
Titles for the Firesprays are just too expensive to use… Or perhaps Slave 1 is too cheap. Probably both. Slave one is one I would not be surprised to
see go up on 9 Jan… As I’ve said before
I suspect my other lists being Jedi/Republic will change rather drastically
when the points are updated, so no real point worrying about them now. The Firesprays are… Less likely to change much as they are pretty
solidly “B-tier” at best in the grand scheme.
I can fly them well as I have been playing them for years now and am one
of the few who has, but at the end of the day they are still pretty sub-par
Ships overall… I just happen to like
them, and they do fairly well locally at least.
Heck, I won my Dice with them, so…
