Example, when Vader JH and Nom came out my entire group was so upset on how broke they were but a time went on everyone (kinda following my lead, easy to build a squad when you only know you are going to be playing Vader.) started finding ways to win against the squads. Can it be this game actually inspires more thought and brain to play than other games??? | |

| | 12/05/2005 9:38 PM | Alert | | Vader JH is a beast, but beasts can be dealt with. The only figure my group refuses to play with is R2D2. I never realy considered going after V-JH with Jedi, it seemed to be sounder to tackle him from a distance with Bounty Hunters. | |
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

Sad that the little tin can generates more fear that the Dark Lord of the Sith [)] | | | |

Yeah, but we now have a Fringe counter in Lobot, so we can pop the doors and send our accurate shooters droid hunting... [}:)] | | | |

They may well be, but we continue to have an influx of stoopid n00bs [:o)] | | | |

Well, RotS R2 was underpowered anyway [)]
Seriously, that would be one thing I'd say it's worth a petition - it surely doesn't make r2 worthless! Is there any SWM players not wanting that change except those that use Mace/R2 -combo on regular basis and play always to win at any cost?
Fortunately most players aren't like that and that doesn't make the problem too big.
IMHO what's worst about some combos are their absurd style; Astromech droids swinging jedi master with a tow cable, charging antitank-guns (AAM) etc. are very effective methods in the game and really rediculious to rationalize (aren't miniature games modelling 'real' things, to a certain degree?) Just think of those bayonets Japanese will have to attach to their AT guns in AAM when they charge them in the enemy lines [:P] | |

Yeah. The more I work with him, the better I like him.
Not only for that Override, but the Fringe Reinforcements 20. It is just so flexible, particularly since you get to look at your opponents squad first.
Need an Accurate Shooter? Bring Baby Boba.
See a Nom Bomb squad? Bring 5 Gran defusers.
Facing droids? Here come 4 Jawas.
Vader, JH? Draft a Gonk to help shoot him down... | | | |
