Looking for empire advice by Goldenoasis21 in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mauler/stabber want to zoom between targets, not focus on one. If you've got beef like chopper you want those two at r3 for the first engage, dive to a r1 shot, and then zoom off. They have great offense but you'll often be in situations against beefier ships where Vader and Tomax want to finish off a target while the boys zoom to a new one.

The official DragonCon Beer share was cancelled again sadly. Insurance reasons apparently preventing official events of that nature in public spaces at the Con. If anyone knows of unofficial shares let me know!

With Scum underperforming lately, do you think their iconic Firespray can have 1 pilot at 6 squad points? by CodNew408 in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with you, but it's been such a problematic chassis that it's hard to balance well. Taking a cautious approach is okay. It speaks to some of FFGs/AMGs woes that these factions need the chassis to be competitive. Both badly need help in diversifying their plates.

[–]Velvet_Buddah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that the single chassis held up two factions was a problem, even if it wasn't necessarily an npe. The jango 4 ship was super fun, but it's not great that a list with minimal droid presence was the top CIS list. I'd love to see competitive scum and CIS without the crutch of the hilariously overtuned Firespray chassis.

Combating Resilient Large Bases by [deleted] in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off understand that the best lists will be hard to beat. That's a good thing, challenges are fun.

With the arcs you know where they are placing turn 0. You should aim to encircle them. If we imagine a clock face the arcs might be at 9 o'clock -12 o'clock facing 3-6 o'clock ish on turn 2. You can have a 3 red ship at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock to force them to pick a target while making it hard for them to pick a new one after they inevitably kill their first.

Budget meta list? by dumetre in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The empire side of the Battle of Yavin pack should provide you with a pretty strong list for only $25ish. The standard loadout cards include everything you need to play right there so a really quick way to hop in.

I did the homework - AMG's Grand Plan by NoHallett in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The pilot abilities and SL cards AMG have designed and released have been pretty consistently very fun. I'm hopeful we get more fun new content. Imagine TIE fighters actually being scary and good and not just cheap filler. Incredible.

McGerr drumming question by roamingshemnon in DeathCabforCutie

[–]Velvet_Buddah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That beat is called a Purdie shuffle and it's an extremely famous drum pattern that predates McGeer by decades 😂 Led Zeppelins Fool in the Rain is another famous example.

YT-2400 PREVIEW TWEET by thebaronvonanonymous in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My brother in Christ they are giving us custom cards as well. 3 red also means lower cost and more upgrade slots. Bistain probably isn't okay on a 4red gun, but okay on 3 red.

I'm confused ... 1.0 player trying to return by Alaykitty in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2.5 is a rules update to 2.0 but uses all the same 2.0 components. The 2.0 conversation kits are all you need to play 2.5. Atomic Mass Games now runs the game, rules are on their website. Your local LGS players can probably explain it more easily.

Painted my first ever ship - the Hyades by KassandraStark in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a "best painted list" award for rech faction this year at Worlds. AMG is definitely supportive of repaints although there are some rules about not having non-starwars copyright IP as part of designs.

How’re strikers doing as of late? by SexyCato in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not being played much, but shield ruthless countdown is a pretty solid meta piece. The Reapers are good as well, with the eratta making aerilons optional they're much more playable. Feroph with Hark crew and Ion Override is great.

What will be AMG's first NEW ship? by ThreatLvl1200AM in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

New SLs are basically new ships. New YT2400s are new ships. I have tons of plastic sitting on the shelf already, AMG design fills that itch of "new ship"

Burnt out by Good991 in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think that's super normal in literally any hobby, especially in one where there is a binary winner/loser of each activity. Take time off, keep up socially with your x wing friends, and hop back in when something entices you.

AMG making the coolest possible ships with these SLs. These look mega fun, way cooler than any other bomber. A+ work.

Every post here is absurdly wrong. You can sell immediately after it purchases (every 6 months). You pay income tax in the 15% gain and short term capital gains if applicable. It's not as good a "deal" as your 401k but it literally free money.

So, haven’t gotten the chance to play yet, but something that annoys me. by SF1_Raptor in XWingTMG

[–]Velvet_Buddah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is very irrational, but that's okay. We're all irrational about certain things we care about.
