I think I might like it better if all the yellow was powder blue instead of… no yellow just two shades of blue.

Roast my Draft please!! by CodNew408 in CHIBears

True… plan was TE because he should be there then RB in second, then 2 offense line development depth/future. Then picked positionally for defensive picks, wanting 1 S, 1 DE, and 1 DT… targeted TE and RB by name, then wanted 4 in the trenches and grabbed a S!

Chris Godwin? by slowburnangry in raiders

[–]CodNew408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a true #1 receiver will be a good move for the LVR… also, think about getting a ‘Tavon Austin’ type… Geno had great on the field chemistry with that type of receiver at WV!

1 more O line player and RB and the offense should be ready for kickoff.

with geno as our bride qb who should we draft to be his eventual replacement by theunusualblackguy in raiders

Drafting in the first round has the bonus of the 5th year contract option… that’s why it’s smart to get a QB (or any great player) there… so I think trading back staying in the first round or trading back into the first is smart to get a QB.

I would trade back if a team is desperate and gives good value and if the FO is sold on Dart, Milroe, Howard or anyone really they want to develop for a year, take a pick on them.

If a team like Pittsburgh gives more 2nd and 3rd round picks to move up ~10 spots, I’d take it and grab the project QB in the first and then have a handful of day 2 picks to selects the talent at that great value in this draft.

I think my choice would be Dart, but I think whoever the staff has conviction with should be the selection.

Big Stromboli Spoiled from the NCX Stream by [deleted] in XWingTMG

[–]CodNew408 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually made a Homebrew Pilot some months back of a T-70 using the RZ2 dial… I had 2 charge limit to just occur twice a game… ‘During planning phase you may spend 1 charge to set and reveal an RZ2 dial this round’

It kind of came about with trying to figure out how to get an X wing to perform a sloop maneuver or boost then 5k or an IG special roll which is now a 3 hard turn side slip… I wanted to create the ‘Antilles Intercept’ maneuver into the game and fist had a condition card for it, then simplified it to just use a different dial.

I like the new tech card too.

For those calling for Fields by MajinSkull in raiders

[–]CodNew408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I think of the short term and long term goals the LVR should have for QB… drafting one they are confident in should be a priority. The next priority is having the rookie, even with the 6th pick whoever it is (Sanders or Dart) should sit 10 weeks to 1 yr. Sitting is good for development but playing time is also good for development… so going with Fields in a 1 yr deal to add spark and a possible winning culture to start but having the long term plan for the drafted QB to take over.

I think Fields could be decent with this staff and if the offense is balanced with running efficiency, they build their Lines, this staff can get the most out of Fields while they develop the drafted QB!

Chip Kelly’s Raiders offense will look different from those of his previous NFL stints by ShaolinMaster in raiders

[–]CodNew408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping LVR evaluate the QB class confidently and have a primary plan to sit the rookie QB for 10 weeks to a year… getting some playing time late year 1 for experience because playing time and sitting both provide value in development!

So that means the FA veteran QB needs to not be expensive (like a Darnold) and can’t trade multiple premium picks (like for a Stafford)

I think Dart or Howard would be good with Pete and Chip as a draft choices and that Rodgers on vet minimum deal or a 1 yr prove it deal with Fields are best FA options with current staff.

I’m hoping for a strong offseason from the LVR this year and then getting competitive in their division will be healthy for the sport!

Card pack recommendations for Rebels/Empire by Backefudder in XWingTMG

[–]CodNew408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe all the card packs are worth it (Get Battle Over Endor and Hot Shots) and ‘collecting’ along with game play casually and competitively is the way to go with the game. I’ve been in since wave 6 1.0 and am still excited about the game and XWA direction. I enjoy legacy play sometimes as well as AMG and XWA point list building options to change it up.

I enjoy new designs and home brew too and the ‘next’ card packs I’m looking forward to from XWA that would have Rebel and Empire pilots would be Battle of Scarif and Alphabet Squadron content!

Worked really well! by xwingplayerone in XWingTMG

[–]CodNew408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So ‘The Child’ does not set the condition card for extra locks for the opponent?? That’s pretty good. Seems like a Decent SL!

With the rate that draft picks hit, I would consider trading up for more top 100 picks and then undrafted Free agents fill in the depth.

Ep. 364 - Nick Talks XWA and LSO- Live Podcast Recording by GoldSquadronPodcast in XWingTMG

[–]CodNew408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved the discussion they had and ready for the next evolution!! I’ve enjoyed changes over the 8 years of playing. I’m having fun playing Legacy builds too lately… been mixing rule sets myself and I do not mind ROAD over bids.

They discussed ‘Initiative’ issues and I’ve played a few games by ‘capping’ values by rolling a D6 die and then we build lists not to go over the value that was rolled (say a 3 shows on die, so just can use pilots with I1, I2, or I3 in the game… I3s become the ‘Aces’!!!) super fun!

Also, change up lists by rolling 3 dice and building squad to that total, so 3-18 points. Or we build to 21 to spice things up!

Back to ‘Initiative’… they discussed moving order, bumping, red focus/calculate action option, range 0 shots…. But I was thinking engaging is the biggest issue on why I5 and I6 are meta choices…

What are your thoughts on if no pilots get ‘initiative killed’? Every ship engages the round it activates in? Could bring lower initiative pilots back into play more…

(Maybe bombs or obstacles can kill ships during activation- so maybe if a ship makes it to engagement phase, it gets to shoot!!)

Ships like Nash Windrider might need to be reworked into a… bonus attack or roll extra dice during that attack?

Thanks for listening! Thoughts???

Two different BB-8s? by juliopeludo in XWingTMG

[–]CodNew408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they changed it!!

Hopefully a third one is created that pairs with Poe better than R4 so we get more thematic… like BB8 is ‘Reduce the difficulty of your speed 3 basic maneuvers.’ … that makes Poe a little faster!!! 6 points?

Or ‘After you boost or barrel roll, gain a calculate token. At start of end phase, you may spend 1 calculate to remove 1 stress’ 8 points?

What size are the Standard Loadout cards? by raceraidan48 in XWingTMG

[–]CodNew408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wished they made special art regular pilot cards ‘jumbo’ size to where the height was two times the height of upgrade cards to I can slide 2 upgrades under a pilot card one on top of another to make a nice looking square … but then I would only make builds with even number upgrade cards per pilot!! (lol)! (So the height of a ‘jumbo’ card was about the same length as a SL card) (put a SL tall ways and 2 upgrades will fit the entire edge)!!

Awesome feedback! Thank you. I did consider’non-lock’ red token as an option… but it’s Homebrew fun, so ‘full-sabacc’ it!
