I'm a new SWXW player just learning the game and assembling my fleet. Your reviews are stellar (no pun) and really help me to get my head around all of the ships, cards, options, etc. Sincerely thankful for your stuff.
Corran with PTL/R2-D2/FCS/EU is lots of fun to run because when combined with the right allies, he can force your opponent to make some very tough choices. One wants to try to kill him off early on, but if you don't finish him in one go, he can simply run off using boost and regen his shields using R2-D2, thus meaning the shots spent on him were essentially wasted. And with FCS giving out free target locks to him while he still takes double actions, the double tap ability can be really scary!
Jeez thanks for the spoilers for Rouge Squadron!! Corran is a beast. I just started reading the books. Just kidding though :P Love your videos, keep em coming! Can't wait for wave 7!
It pretty much is. It was part of the same wave as the defender so it makes sense that they wanted to give both factions (at the time) a ship of similar power.
That sounds great like how you go over the little rules that you don't pick up when you read the manual. The little tips are great I've just started collecting bought 3 core sets and few expansions. Watching your reviews really help in selection and understanding. I'll be buying all of them anyway LOL Thanks again
is it me or does this look like a cross between a van with wings and a viper from battlestar galactica? Sorry, as I know people love the look of it :-(
+The Cardboard Dungeon When you attack a second time, does your opponent get to roll defence die a second time to evade your second attack? Thanks in advance!
Having the Canon over the canopy with practically 0 visibilty at 90 degrees doesn't do it for me. for design sake why couldn't they just put it in the back behind the canopy?
The Cardboard Dungeon Can the Miniature itself be taken off the stand with ease? I dont play I just bought this for display and dont have it yet, and I sometimes go around playing with it. Can it be taken off?
When they added S-Foils and fins and crap to other ships purely to dissipate heat, yeah, silly. Also, how do you open the canopy? Does derpy gun need swivel out of the way or something?
Not sure, I would have to look through my Long box, but this was the first time I ever saw them.. I was in High school and graduated in 96. So they have been around for a long time.
The ETHEHN A'BAHT has a poorly written ability. It does not specify that other ships are able to use the ability written for this ship. It is vague and does not clearly state that ither ships are able to use this ability. The card ability states, "The attacker may change..." instead of clearly stating that "this ship, along with other ally ships may change 1 of its...."
This has been one of my favorite fighters since I was a child. I just wish it was a little less expensive so I could use it more often.

My wife bought me one of these for my birthday today, so it was great to hear your input on how to get the most oomph out of it on the board!
David Woo I'm glad you enjoyed the review!

Brian Curry Ha ha sorry! Enjoy those books - the Rogue Squadron novels are some of my favorite expanded universe stuff.
I feel like this is the Rebel/New Republic equivalent of the TIE Defender. I’m definitely interested in getting one.

I think you should review the U-Wing Expansion pack, it's very cool
Keep them coming great review!!!
Joseph Simeone Thanks! No plans to stop, and I've got some ideas for new content once I get all caught up covering the current releases as well :)

Battlestar Galactica (original) was a pretty good series!
Thanks for the great review!
Andrew VanAllen Thank you for watching!
great job!

Totally Battlestar Galactica. That was the first thing I thought when I saw it.
+The Cardboard Dungeon i flee Coren Horn the other day against a tie swarm with Poe ans and A Wing. Worked great.
+The Cardboard Dungeon When you attack a second time, does your opponent get to roll defence die a second time to evade your second attack? Thanks in advance!
+TheTwinTaurus - Yes, it's a normal attack and follows all applicable rules for attacking, including the defender rolling defense dice.
+The Cardboard Dungeon Thank you!
Do Etahn A'Baht ability transfer to friendly ships?
Yes. As long as the enemy ship is inside his firing arc and at range 1-3, any friendly ship attacking it may change a hit to a critical

Yeah it's a silly design. Seems like it would make that cockpit unbearably hot as well.

what is the first appearance of this starfighter?
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I first saw the name E-Wing in the Rogue Squadron series of novels.
Dark Empire
Michael Flynn But, wich issue?
Not sure, I would have to look through my Long box, but this was the first time I ever saw them.. I was in High school and graduated in 96. So they have been around for a long time.
In the very first issue of the series.
Not sure how I feel about Horn piloting an E-Wing instead of an X-Wing...
The E-wing sort of looks like a prototype X-Wing, not the successor :D
a corran horn build please :)
K!nG's Gaming Corner You got it!
I’m sorry. The E-Wing is fugly - like a train engine with wings bolted on.

its a shame the Ewing is so hideous cos the idea is solid
