    I'm happy to see more Experimental Droids. I really need to put an army together to test it myself

    Great game guys! I thought we might see a Joe salt crown episode with those dice!

  • @martinrodin8236
    @martinrodin8236 11 месяцев назад +2

    I didn’t see anyone else say this but 2 main points regarding rules that affected the outcome:
    1. Since using the surge token is a free action you cannot do it before the ai action kicks in (for example moving speed3 on ai move or aiming before ai attack)
    2. On duel of the fates both engaged droid units illegally used aims (no green tokens due to dotf)
    Otherwise great content guys, always happy to watch 😊

    Defense dice were wild today! I played a game this morning where my saber tank did impossibly well, saving 13 for 13 against three sets of Swoop Bikes that rolled some wild crits. Games where the Dice Gods seem to make all the important choices are always interesting.

  • @kaz9357
    @kaz9357 11 месяцев назад

    Great game! Experimental droids seem fun. I like the 3 magna, 3 bx with sniper teams. 6 melee charge units with red saves. Crazy lol

    Great showing for the experimental droids.

  • @danielphelps2138
    @danielphelps2138 11 месяцев назад +1

    Wow! To think there are players in my area saying Experimental Droids is a terrible Battleforce. I’ve even told them to ignore the snail tank, it’s garbage, but they don’t listen. I will hopefully run it soon.
    Cad’s defense rolls reminded me of my first time using him. It’s nice when he shrugs off that much firepower.
    Thanks for the great video. Really enjoy them.

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад +1

      It’s top tier for me for sure. But yes that snail is garbage

    • @Zeromus5555
      @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

      Ya idk what they were thinking with the Snail and the cheaper Magna are not worth the 94pts for only losing 12pt overall. The battleforce is best for BX, Droideka and B2.

  • @brynhill7141
    @brynhill7141 11 месяцев назад +1

    Do love how the battleforces are shaking up the factions and give some interesting buffs/nerfs. Some of the latest videos have some insanely 1 sided dice and, no offense Joe, but its nice to see Don win a few😂😂. Awesome vid as always guys, love what you guys do❤

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      None taken, he was overdue for some good wins :) thanks for a watching!

    GG as always, guys! It's nice to see the prototype droid force in use. They seem awkward to build lists for.

  • @theoneleggedraven1940
    @theoneleggedraven1940 11 месяцев назад

    Another great match! Well done Don! Great game for Joe too; dice be finnicky sometimes but nice lists, great models and smart strategies. Everything we want in a game! Experimental droids sounds fun to try and my friend is about to get a lot of CIS so hopefully it works out for him. Stay awesome, fellas!

  • @zackduncan5219
    @zackduncan5219 11 месяцев назад

    Solid showing from the CIS. Cad surviving to the end was also wild. It really was a tale of dice.

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      Yeah i wish cad would have gone down early -Don

    • @Zeromus5555
      @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@graysquadrongaming8670He should have. Joe shouldn't have given him 2 dodges off the reveal. Independent is only start of Activation Phase... :(

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      You are correct, but it’s like I couldn’t have rolled blocks and survived.

    Hate to see maul go down like that, but I love seeing shadow collective up there. The experimental droid surge build up can really help, especially those droidekas. Love the bat reps!

    Experimental Droids I have trouble wrapping my head around since so much of it is different from its 'normal' counterparts.

    Great game! Thanks a lot for your videos.
    I don't like when a player concedes a game, it's a dice game, and Maul was in a good position to a least fight for a draw IMH :-)

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад +1

      We generally concede when they is almost no chance of winning. Also we film late so it’s often almost 1am when we are done -Don

  • @davidluke6015
    @davidluke6015 11 месяцев назад +1

    Great game! It's nice to see what the experimental droid list can do in a different configuration than before. The snail really limited what could be done, this is a stronger list overall I think.

  • @Zeromus5555
    @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

    Went way too aggressive with that ball mode droideka round 1 :(

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      The end turned out the same for him thanks to some crazy dice backing him up. Thanks for watching!
      -Joe

  • @Zeromus5555
    @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

    Much better list this time, Don. I really dont like the new, cheaper Magna. Everything they lose for a 12pt decrease is ridiculous. 2 b1 with repair droids and 2 b2 with HA and and an extra B2 is awesome.

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      The list is much better for sure. Magna RPS still have a spot but there are better options. Thanks for watching!
      -Joe

  • @jgpoteet2759

    Good game, I ran a similar list but I was over aggressive vs echo base.

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      I don’t think the end result of the last game agreed with that -Don

    Love the vids guys keep them up , just out of curiosity is it only patreons that can submit lists for you guys to play

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      Thanks for watching! Yes, you are correct only Patreon can submit list. But you can always submit ideas you’d like to see in the future.

  • @happesushi
    @happesushi 11 месяцев назад

    Experimental droids are pretty nuts. But I feel like sniper bx's might be a bit better then melee with this force personally.
    Was cool to see dekas put in work, love seeing them on the table.
    def agree that the snail is not good
    I think the AI kicks in before free actions tho so not sure all those aims would have been there for don.

  • @joshuataylor7213
    @joshuataylor7213 11 месяцев назад

    The experimental droids are really intriguing. However, I still don't believe in the heavy options and am struggling to dial in on a strong list build with them. Always helpful o see them in play. Thanks, as always.

  • @joshuapicaro8726
    @joshuapicaro8726 11 месяцев назад

    The Don meta has begun.
    Also, I didn’t hear the words of the game. Was it experimental droids or box droids?

    @keithcompton6916 11 месяцев назад

    Nice report

  • @kingbobb007
    @kingbobb007 11 месяцев назад

    Good to see more X Droids, although this sort of reinforces my opinion that the only good thing about it is the free action surges. The features of the BF were absent in the game. It’s is nice to see something make the BX unit a good choice, although it takes stripping the Magnas down to near nothing. Also, the free action token can’t be taken before AI attack on B1 and B2 units. The AI action has to come before the free action surge, so that last shot with the B1s would not have had an Aim, not that it made much of an impact.

    Man these experimental droids did better this game then against the Wookies

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      They did for sure, he built his list better as well. Thanks for watching!
      -Joe

    • @Zeromus5555
      @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

      The Snail is just bad in the BF. I'm not sure what AMG was thinking on that one... especially since it can't benefit from the free actions.
      Don did a much better job with his list this time.

  • @adamlangley5731
    @adamlangley5731 11 месяцев назад

    In round 2 cad bane shot at the destroyers, they should not have had shields. They were in wheel mode at the end around one.

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад +1

      Wheel mode ends at the end of the round so they get their shields back at the start of the next round. Not their next activation -Don

  • @Zeromus5555
    @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

    Cad shouldnt get 2 dodges when revealed.... he only gets those at the start of the activation phase if he doesnt have an order.
    Edit: Now im at the end of the Video and he should be dead but he's still alive 🤣

    • @Zeromus5555
      @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад

      Ya, now that hurts to watch after seeing that Droideka shot... :(

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      lol, true we should have given him the dodges but you don’t know he wouldn’t have rolled 1-2 shields more and lived the same. Thanks for watching.
      -Joe

    • @Zeromus5555
      @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад +1

      @graysquadrongaming8670 Math says unlikely, so that blunder did kind if affect things. You know fir next time! ;)

    • @graysquadrongaming8670
      @graysquadrongaming8670  11 месяцев назад

      @Zeromus5555 I mean math can say a lot…. But that doesn’t mean the dice will agree… I blanked on three so the odds of me rolling two more with paint are decent…. Not like it really costed him the game or anything anyways lol. Thanks!

    • @Zeromus5555
      @Zeromus5555 11 месяцев назад

      @graysquadrongaming8670 Haha true, I just think Cad should have died sooner. Duck In Cover is better than an extra dodge on him with UCaP in my opinion. Gotta get that Danger Sense going!
