If you are fielding a list that to get the real cards you have to spend 4-5 times the cost of the ships maybe you are playing the game in way that they did not intend.it to be played. X-wing has such great options for the lists that spamming upgrades should not be something done often for friendly games.<br /><br /><br /><br />My initial estimate was too low. I actually guess this list would be 3 Aces (1 Targeting Computer Each), 3 Slave I (1 Stealth Device Each), 2 A-wings (1 Push the Limit Each), 1 Interceptor (For the 2 normal unique Interceptor pilots) so 225 dollars.eriochromenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-50661445555309647472013-10-22T11:39:28.391-07:002013-10-22T11:39:28.391-07:00Most "good" players won't ever take ...Most "good" players won't ever take the autoblaster, as it's 5 points for something that statistically is almost always either breaking even or worse than the 3+1 dice for RB1 on a B-wing/Lambda. In some extreme cases it's definitely better, but it's generally regarded as a hugely overcosted upgrade (almost as bad as Expose).ImmateriumPresshttp://immaterium.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-87099133766948041392013-10-18T20:07:07.221-07:002013-10-18T20:07:07.221-07:00You should play DAWNPATROL then.

While they are good, you might be able to get away with not having them on both Fel and Jax. Fel is typically pretty hard to hurt with 3 defensive dice and an evade token.Adam Wiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-69837440955552011662013-10-18T10:43:11.252-07:002013-10-18T10:43:11.252-07:00How would you fit Howlrunner in a list with a 35 a...How would you fit Howlrunner in a list with a 35 and 34 point pilot already? She's 18 base, needs some kind of protection, so you'll probably want Stealth Device and Expert Handling. It's quite difficult to fit in anything else if you take her along Fel and Jax. As much as I'd love to have her, I can't find room for her. I'll stick with Turr as my third :)HEROhttp://lkhero.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-48227687644930348062013-10-18T10:19:19.395-07:002013-10-18T10:19:19.395-07:00Having not played with the Target Locks with the I...Having not played with the Target Locks with the Interceptors, I am not quite sure how they will work, however I imagine they will help by a large margin.<br /><br /><br />In my experience I have found many people really fear Howlrunner and they focus a lot of firepower her way to get rid of her. If they ignore her they will be forced to deal with a lot more shots from your interceptors. If they focus their efforts at killing her, your most important ships will be unharmed and still be nearly as effective (target locks and Jax's crazy ability). If you take her you could try running her with an elite pilot skill (maybe expert handling) and another no name Tie fighter pilot.Adam Wiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-61391684297482891842013-10-18T09:35:15.201-07:002013-10-18T09:35:15.201-07:00You see, I tried making a list with Howlrunner and...You see, I tried making a list with Howlrunner and whenever I include him, my points really take a hit. Do I keep the list skinny and take the elite pilots? Do I drop the Target Lock option for Fel and Jax? Heaven forbid I drop the PTL..<br /><br />With this list, I think the damage coming from Jax's ability and Target Lock + Focus from PTL is much stronger than bringing Howlrunner.HEROhttp://lkhero.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-23135117907772294662013-10-18T08:35:33.560-07:002013-10-18T08:35:33.560-07:00Looks like a neat list; I have been playing around...Looks like a neat list; I have been playing around with similar lists. I love the Tie Interceptors; particularly Fel. The Imperial Aces expansion is really bringing a lot of great stuff to the game for them. The ability to get Target Lock is fabulous. <br /><br />Subbing in Backstabber and Night Beast should work pretty well, as more numbers never hurts. Also if you could get in Howlrunner you could up your damage potential and take some heat off your expensive Interceptor pilots.Adam Wiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-37350149040549937862013-10-18T02:20:07.566-07:002013-10-18T02:20:07.566-07:00Love it.

That does not look like a very friendly squadron though to play with friends. One of my fears about this game is that one or two badly priced card combos could ruin it unless they are willing to change them after the fact.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have started getting some ships myself and have enough to field 100 points on both sides but limited quantities of ships in the stores can cause problems for specific list building.eriochromenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-66277134179123372182013-10-17T20:02:15.199-07:002013-10-17T20:02:15.199-07:00I probably won't play outside my circle of fri...I probably won't play outside my circle of friends and in some local tournaments.
