Good to have ya back Pat. Great video. This ship is a good looking ship and looks great on the table. Stramm is my favorite pilot. I run him with R3A2 and Kyle. Do a green lose a stress, focus with Kyle, roll a die maybe lose a stress, evade with Jan.
Love your content. I'd like to see you do a "best of" series for the three main ship archetypes: jousters, arc dodgers, turrets. It would be interesting to see how the different factions stack up against each other in that regard.
Just started out with X-wing and just found your videos, they are excellent for noobs like me. Superb, gonna spend a few hours on your channel. Really nice job!
You should really check it out. It’s 550 pages, but it’s really good. It’s about two lovers, an imperial, and an imperial who defected to the rebellion
Hey, you are doing a GREAT JOB! I really enjoy your XWing reviews. Regarding the free title card... perhaps FF isn't making the ARC 3/2 on firing because they have more future plans for it (future title cards)? FF is doing a great job at keeping the game robust and balanced. Ten waves in and they still find ways to freshen things up with new cards.
@@themartianmantis2694 Thats insane! LIke idk how hard it is to keep a few things in stock, but what do I know. Sucks that people do take advantage of the shortage too.
also Interesting they included a prequel Republic Cruiser mission token in the original 2012 core set. shara bey is another female pilot with 'motherly' buffing abilities even like offense buffing howlrunner and her defensive counterpart serrisu imho ;
TCD, first off, keep up the good work. This is my go to channel for anything XTMG related. Concise videos with possible game play ramifications while not filling up the video with bad jokes. Secondly, I'm sure you've tried Armada before. If so, do you play it regularly? Could we maybe expect some videos on that as well? I find myself playing it about the same as XTMG as it is quite a lot of fun. Have a good day :)
I have played Armada, and while I like it, I like X-Wing more and my budget doesn't allow for me to stay current on both games. So unfortunately at this time I don't have any plans to cover Armada.
I really like this model, I would just have reduced the flamingo beak just a tiny bit to look less bird-like but otherwise great. Thanks for the review.
Great video! I love the ship. I have one question about Thane Kyrell. As far as i know, for card abilities or effect when it says inside your firing arc it only counts as your primary firing arc not your auxilery right?
Point it toward/away from enemy ships and shoot. Put Tail Gunner on it to make the rear shots hurt more. Put R2-D2 on it to keep it alive longer, or R2 and C-3P0 to really drive your opponents nuts :)
Probably. I think a case could be made for are on Specialist to power Nora's ability for both attack and defense in the same turn, but it's tough to argue against Tail Gunner.
dude we need more videos! your slackin where is my quad jumper video, among others. i totally rely on your videos when im playing and have a question about a rule or whatever and sometimes i just watch them when im bored at work. so come on get with it.... i love you :) in a very star wars x-wing kinda way cuz im totally straight and married but yea thanks and keep it going
Nice verbal content. Not a big fan of the recurring “slide presentation” style of delivery though. Would of been nice to see a pan around and under the piece in real time.
They need more Clone Wars ships. It'll be easy as heck to add it in as well. The rebels find some republic ships (I want a Jedi star fighter) and the scum find some an old droid ship factory or something (tri-fighters would make my day)
Can you imagine the insane movement dial and agility rating the droids would have? I mean, think about it. All the other ships have people in them, and they can’t do anything too crazy without blacking out from the g-forces. Droids don’t have that problem. On the other hand, though, we’d be less likely to see really special pilot abilities, given that it’s just a programmed droid.
Gotta get my hands on them first. They sold out early on day one here and there hasn't been any sign of them since. I've been looking all over the place for a TIE Striker.
Put Engine Upgrades on this thing and you have the deadliest little ship in the game. I put R2 on it and it stays on the board all night. Shara is in all my builds.
Ben The Writer Put the Flight assist on it instead and give it one of the " _____ Upgrade" cards (Engine, Stealth, etc.) Free boost/barrel roll, and add on a little bit more and this thing is deadly. You don't really need R2 with this, especially with how many greens it doesn't have.

i've come to rely on these videos as they are very clear and succinct compared to others! Just wish they came out sooner! great video!
I use the 170 + r2d2 + Kyle katarn and some other things with Dash, one of my favorite builds
Glad to see you back! I got all of the huge ships for Christmas and they're great. This ship is next on my list.
So glad this is up. The 170 is one of the best Rebel ships in the game imo. That rear figuring arc is deadly.
Add tail gunner and goodnight TIE Fighters.

Thanks! Glad the videos are useful to you, and glad you decided to play this awesome game!
Good to see you again Pat. I've flown the ARC-170 twice and I'm liking it quite a bit. Whatever happened to that QnA? Happy Holidays!
Always excellent videos. Great job!
lol just realized one of the pilots for this ship is Thane Kyrell, one is the main characters in the Lost Stars book. I love that book so much
I never read that one. It's cool that FFG regularly brings in lesser known characters from the old expanded universe and video games.

The 170 is dang hard to find at a decent price online as well!
Right?? The alpha class star wing is even worse for that. Lowest i found was over $100cad for the one small ship!

Adrenaline rush on that one tie bomber ace from the veterans pack. Oh mama

Ok, fair enough. Thanks :)
Dude I just got the arc 170 for xmas. This feels like destiny
Gold Reshi no it doesnt
No, Destiny is a different Star Wars game from Fantasy Flight :)
Oh, thanks for the correction.
can you do more builds, i love that
Last night I played with an Arc170 and Yt2400 for the first time, they were brutal together and smashed my opponent!
finally! another video. You got some catching up to do. Lol
I really like this model, I would just have reduced the flamingo beak just a tiny bit to look less bird-like but otherwise great. Thanks for the review.

Altitude Zero Gaming your auxiliary counts as inside your firing arc
Jeffrey Dusome oh okay, thank you
Seismic torpedos are good against Dash Rendar who tends to stick around obstacles
plz do more, you da best!
Determination (EPT), R2D2 (Crew Slot) and R5D8 (Astromech) on Nora Wexley. Happy Days.
I just got this ship and need a recommendation as how to play it. Thank you : )
Point it toward/away from enemy ships and shoot. Put Tail Gunner on it to make the rear shots hurt more. Put R2-D2 on it to keep it alive longer, or R2 and C-3P0 to really drive your opponents nuts :)
thank you very much : )
shara is perfect for squad mates with homing missiles, one target lock allows any number to fire as homing missile doesn't use up the lock.
I'm a firm believer that the only crew you want on this ship is Tail Gunner.
Probably. I think a case could be made for are on Specialist to power Nora's ability for both attack and defense in the same turn, but it's tough to argue against Tail Gunner.
The Cardboard Dungeon you have to spend the target lock to trigger her ability. Do you mean the title effect?

I know, I know. I'm totally slacking. My work schedule changed and now I have very little free time which sucks.
7 years later I regret not getting one of these, lmao
plzz make more video's

I really want Yoda's Starfighter. That tiny TIE Interceptor looking ship. Always thought it was cool.
Now I'd love to see that too

I’d love to see a Venator!
Wheres the Rogue One stuff.

nien numb r2d2 nuff said.
Yeah that's a good combo for sure
