When Is Wave 4 Supposed To Be Available???

I think the D and Voyager would be good for this one with their 360 shot, though you're right....Jem Hadar patrol ships would be almost evil.

Next week :D I'm very stoked.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

hah! I was thinking two of them, with Phased Polaron Beams, torpedoes, and good captains, etc, plus some Hideki fighters.

Now that I sit down and do the math,Ii'm not sure how big of a deal the webs will be with worrying about the 12x12 play area face off.

There are 30 web tokens so each side gets 15. The game starts with 2 per player on the board and two per side are added at the end of the round:

Round 1 - 4
Round 2 - 8
Round 3 - 12
Round 4 - 16
Rpund 5 - 20
Round 6 - 24
Round 7 - 28
Round 8 - 30 (web is complete)

How many people actually have had a game go to round 8 in 60 minutes?

Me. However that is because im generally terrible at the game and fly like I'm blindfolded and drinking lots of whiskey.

When did Iron Man Attack Wing come out?

Hopefully soon

My games have always gone full time, though I've never counted the rounds. You'll have to account for those missing inches still, though (that's what she said) when you're planning your moves post first contact/barrage. You can't just blaze through the enemy formation and count on having plenty of space to turn around/recover.

True. Nimble ships are going to be needed. Anything with white turns and a Come About are going to get prime consideration. Or, you know, Borg:

Borg Sphere 4270 (40)
Locutus of Borg = Picard (7)
Captured Intelligence (4)
Miles O’Brien (3)
Borg Tractor Beam (7)
Borg Ablative Armor (10)
Feedback Pulse (8)

"Assimilated" Fed Fighters (20)

Unacceptable. Off the charts unacceptable!

If you're going to put O'Brien on the the Borg ship you need to give him a cool Borg name as well............hasn't that poor man suffered enough?

You monster.

I might actually get to fire it this time!

Yeah, they should be fun. Without a reverse, their maneuver dial isn't ideal, but the white 2 turn should make them usable. I never got a Koranak, but have been meaning to, so maybe I'll grab one before this event for the Dorsal Weapons Array.

Irish of DS9?

That works.

Really like how this scenario is setting up, but I have a couple of concerns...

Our meta was dominated during the Dominion War by Min/Max teams designed to roll as many dice and hit as many times as possible while ships generally ended up jousting each other, k-turning to see who can finish each other, and then ending. Out of 18-20 events I attended/ran I think we maybe had 3-4 non Klingon/Romulan builds get the wins? I also know that a lot of folks were pretty worn out with this by the end. I am trying a new event to try out some of the scenarios from the ship packs this month, will see how that goes...but to that end...

This scenario seems to really limit the viable builds, for instance, is no way you are going to want to use any Cardy, Dominion Battleships, clunkier Fed ships, etc. and a first strike, try to do as much damage as possible strategy again seems like it will be strong. With the crunch on maneuvering, I think you will see even more of the Jousting which the Klingons excelled at in our previous tourneys...

I am contemplating ways to slightly alter this a bit. Some ideas I have had:
1. Starting the center of the web and building outward.

2. Allow for a way to destroy or bypass the web sections, even if it is for just a turn. (need to go back and rewatch ALL episodes involving Tholians, anyone who would like to explain this to the Old Lady and help me get permission would be welcomed as well. She won't go for "research for Attack Wing"...)

3. Limit the build to put a damper on some of hte jankier first strike combos that I saw...

Thoughts? I know we are going off a preview video and no one has actually played it yet, but brainstorming is always fun!! I am trying to save the soul of my Attack Wing group!! The cause couldn't be worthier!!
