Here come the Headhunters. And cloaking TIES. Wonder if it'll work like Attack Wing cloaking?

Yeah, there is a LOT to take in. My head is still spinning. You know things are crazy, when the TIE Defender, as good as it is, seems to be the most boring option.

Neat. I wonder if Colonel Jendon will get a pilot version for the TIE Defender.

Glad to finally see what will be coming next year for Wave 4

Hmmmmm....very interesting.

First thoughts....

- Wave 4 actually Exists!!!!!!!!!!
- These 4 haven't appeared on screen yet, right? (and by that I mean movies)

As cheap as 12 pts.....a Rebel(scum) version of the noble TIE Fighter. Disgusting!!
But nice for play options.

And I like the idea behind the Ion Pulse Missiles but secondary weapons aren't as valuable as they are, for the most part, as Attack Wing.....that might be clouding my initial impression having played more AW recently.

More Ion Pulse Missiles so both sides get the options.

Interesting to see what it brings....looks to be 30 pts for the 1 skill though.

And 2 (?) new astromechs.......R7-T1 looks good.

3 Reference cards (Cloaking, Modifications, and ?)

Probably the one I like the most visually (the TIE Defender look a little too busy) and most interested to see more of!



That seems....er.....um........unlikely?

The Z-95 Headhunter! Cool!!!

I don't know the other ships that well, but I'm sure I'll buy them all!

Don't quite dismiss the Ion Pulse Missile just yet. Yeah, it doesn't do much damage. But it is cheap. Cheapest Missile yet. And even better, it doesn't spend you Target Lock, just like the Homing Missile. So rerolls are available. It is going to be the ideal way for A-wings, Z-95's, and TIE Advances for dealing with Stealth Device. Add in the fun of splashed in Ion effects, it is going to be great.

The TIE Defender I think is going to have an insane dial. And don't forget the Advanced Sensors that are in the E-wing pack. No need to buy multiple Lambda shuttles.

As for their ability to hit June, I'm hopeful. They did well with Wave 3. We will see with the huge ships.

I can see 2nd quarter. In fact I'd lay odds on an Origins release, which hits June 11th.

Oh, I wasn't dismissing it. I think it's great!

I'm just reminding myself that having played far more AW as of late that I should probably remember that secondary weapon (one shots!!! grrrrr) are different than my beloved Quantum Torps or Additional Weapons Array.

Right now I'm considering how these little bad boys could be used with my TIE Bombers to set up some very efficient bombs......and blast those Rebel scum to Alderaan bits!



Agreed. Some people were suggesting that the new maneuver, without a new template being seen, could be a new color (yellow?) or a turn/bank with K-turn ability.

Very interested about it.

I thought Wave 3 was delayed as well.........I know I completely forget when they were supposed to be out............maybe that was regional?

Anyway, on time or not, it's nice to see 9 ships coming (including the Aces as 2 and the other X-wing as one)............Attack Wing has reminded me how much I like seeing new FlightPath releases.

Wave 3 was released, at most, 1 or 2 weeks late. I remember seeing them early Sep, after getting some at Gencon. It was close enough to the standard 3 month release after announcement that I wasn't bothered by it.

Pretty exciting stuff here. I have almost no experience with the EU (I never played all those Lucasarts PC games of legend), so what I know of these only comes from previous X-Wing speculation and my own reading on Wookieepedia.

The big thing with the ion missiles is that they can ion a large ship in a single hit.

I'm looking forward to having several Z-95s. Probably not 8. 5-6 seems more likely. I only see myself getting 2-3 of the other ships. I dunno what it is, but I feel weird having less than 3 of any small ship (aside from the HWK-290). Still need a 3rd B-Wing and TIE Bomber.
