The list you mentioned that Tim talked about was probably: Tomax Bren w/ TIE Shuttle, Cool Hand, Fleet Officer, Systems Officer 2x Glaive w/ x/7, Juke, TIE Mk II Engine Glaives perform a 3+ speed maneuver, each gain a free evade token, one takes focus, one TLs. Tomax performs a green maneuver, passes a TL to the Glaive that focused, uses Fleet Officer to pass a focus to the Glaive that TLed, keeps a focus for himself, gains a stress. From the stress, Tomax triggers Cool Hand to assign an evade to himself. End result: 2 focus + TL + evade Defenders (with Juke enabled), Tomax with focus + evade (+ stress). ** You can also drop this to 99 points by dropping TIE Mk II Engine from the Defenders and putting a copy on Tomax instead - opens up more options for clearing his Fleet Officer stress and also more flex with getting Systems Officer to work **
This review was OUTSTANDING!! So good I went out and picked up the box. Can't wait to get those ships on the table. I really like the part where you put a list out. I would like to put in a suggestion. Do an unboxing, build a list, then do a battle report. I know time is probably an issue but I would have loved to have seen that list you put up earlier and went a couple turns to show the insanity of what those ships can do. Keep up the Fantastic Work!! You have a fan for life!!!
Thanks for the unboxing, guys! I'm finding Countess Ryad with x7 title, mk II engines, and PTL to be a blast to fly. 2-5 green kturn, free evade for speed 3-5, then focus, push, and either barrel roll or target lock. Shedding that stress is a breeze, especially with the upgraded engines.
12:00 Best crits to pull out with Maarek, Damaged Cockpit or Major Hull Breach if you can deny them actions. 22:50 Limited means you can only have one per Ship, not per List. So you can have 2 bombers with this each, but not one bomber with 2 of them.
Glad to see this set getting some attention by the better RUclips crews (like you guys, of course.) I feel like it didn't get much "heat" because it was released shortly after the last wave, and right after that big North American tournament. I love these two ships simply for thematic reasons, and their renewed relevance means I won't be trotting them out just for sentimental value.
Would the systems officer be able to give a target lock to a friendly ship equip with long range scanners to target lock an enemy ship within range 1-2?
Going back and watching some of your other unboxing to get some new build ideas. Just watched the one for the T-70 and Tie f/o boosters and heard the core pilots referenced, but I was wondering if you guys ever did a proper unboxing for the FA Core Set?
Nice review. Thank you for the list build segment! Much appreciated and tilted me in the direction of getting this instead of a second Jumpmaster 5000. I'll get the JM 5K later (thanks Tim for that nickname for the ship). Oh, and when you listed the upgrade cards at the end you forgot the Partridge in a Pair Tree.
Hi guys thanks you given me the boost to get Back into x wing Good explanations and what mite go with what I got into x wing playing a play tester Was cool but I never won He wasn't bothered about this veterans But guys give positive attitude to it 👍
Cool hand does not provide tokens to other ships. "When you receive a stress token, you may discard this card to assign 1 focus or evade token to your ship." If i'm reading it right it only applies to the ship with the upgrade card, correct?
Dunno why some waste ept for boosting the countess ps, she is in that 5 range, most used ships are higher while other often used (hi scouts) are lower. Use that ept for something like juke instead (wich works wonders when you look at it and tie/7)
The reason why you feel feel so "eh" and Maarek Stele is because he was also a TIE Advanced X1 Pilot, with the same text. Much better on the defender obviously.
The Red Baron painted his plane red to intimidate and draw in enemies. He was trying to put fear into his enemies and tell them he was coming. The colour also acted as a beacon to rally or group his men in order behind him. The lesser pilots had less distracting colors, whereas the better pilots had more distracting colors.
Actually, almost every fighter of Jasta 11 was painted red, unless the pilot wanted a different colour. Other Jastas did the same - Jasta Bölcke all had white tails, and Jasta 15 all had blue fuselages with red noses, for example.
Another thing about Marek is that you can't really use the new titles on him effectively ... You want a Mangler cannon on him so you can't use the title which gets rid of the cannon slot... but mangler is also 4 points so you don't get the benefit of the other title
Aren't the bombs that detonate at the end of activation dropped NOT as an action? So you wouldn't be able to drop seismic charge as an action with Deathfire.
Did I see right...the Tie-x7 is a -2pt cost? Wow. You could add the Tie-x7 to the Glaive squadron pilot skill 6, add Veteran Instincts so you are now pilot skill 8. I believe it cost 2 pts. Net cost 0. A ship that can K-turn for days and shoot first? Ouch! LOL ......permanent crack! I have always thought that the old X-wings need a Veterans or "Rouge Squadron" upgrade. Not better pilots, although would be nice, but synergy between the pilots that would make an elite squad work well together. Looking forward to your 2016 X-wing Tournament Commentary. Your are the ESPN of X-wing!
Major Explosion is so scary in the new deck. I've seen it happen where a Major Explosion rolls a [hit] and you get a Direct Hit! that's a 3 damage crit!

Glad to see you guys doing X-wing content. It's been a while.

Thank you for watching! Great to hear that you'll be with us for life :D

Nuts, right?
Haha... I like how you hesitated and switched from the "On the Waterfront" quote to the "Napoleon Dynamite" quote.

We never did! Probably need to!
Long-Range Scanners with Deadeye means you can still use secondary weapons that usually use a target lock at ranges 1-2.

Haha, indeed! Glad you stayed away from another JM5k. We do not need more of those out in the wild...
love hearing about EV. Nova was my favorite game for a solid 5 years.
So. Good. Mind blowing how incredible that game was. They teased an MMO version a long time ago. Wouldn't that have been something...
Hi guys thanks you given me the boost to get Back into x wing
Good explanations and what mite go with what
I got into x wing playing a play tester
Was cool but I never won
He wasn't bothered about this veterans
But guys give positive attitude to it 👍
Cool hand does not provide tokens to other ships. "When you receive a stress token, you may discard this card to assign 1 focus or evade token to your ship." If i'm reading it right it only applies to the ship with the upgrade card, correct?
Looks like they were talking about Fleet Officer > Cool Hand interaction on a Shuttle Tomax Bren. You are correct about Cool Hand wording though
Just a quick question iv got
Maarek stele with the t/d title
With flechette cannon
Vet instincts
Is and any good ? I dunno if to run it or what else
Maarek with MARKSMANSHIP!!! It's good. After watching this I may revisit my build though. Thanks for the video. Keep Star Wars content rolling!!!
Maarek with Mangler Canon would be way better!
2 Long-Range Scanners, 2 TIE/D, 2 TIE/x7, 2 TIE Shuttle and a partridge in a pear tree
Guys! you neglected to talk about the "- 2" discount on the Tie/x7!
Tie Shuttle+Fleet Officer+Cool Hand on tomax
Maareks ability would be fantastic if the tie/D title worked with the mangler cannon.
Dunno why some waste ept for boosting the countess ps, she is in that 5 range, most used ships are higher while other often used (hi scouts) are lower. Use that ept for something like juke instead (wich works wonders when you look at it and tie/7)

Can't wait for the next wave!

when you gonna do wave 9

Where are the other ships
Aren't the bombs that detonate at the end of activation dropped NOT as an action? So you wouldn't be able to drop seismic charge as an action with Deathfire.
Correct!
Put Laing range scanners on crit build ten numb

Thank you! Yeah, that -2 is big. Be ready to see this ship on the table!
Grab a red shirt, and grab a black shirt.
take them and put them into a really dark room, and see which one actually sticks out.
(it's the black one).
Insane.
Major Explosion is so scary in the new deck. I've seen it happen where a Major Explosion rolls a [hit] and you get a Direct Hit! that's a 3 damage crit!
Just imagine your opponent's face...
Limited: only one card equipped on the "ship". not the whole list.
Regarding the bright colors, take a gander at the Red Baron and his Flying Circus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_von_Richthofen
You can call that list with the permanent crack shot, "The Crack Heads."
Permanent crack!
Escape Velocity
Yes! The memories...
Be conservative and then develop. If only they followed that policy on the Jupmaster.
