Gotta say, your production values are what make your videos great. The color coded bases and dials, plus the very visible tokens, make the game much easier to follow than many other channels. Keep up the good work!
Seriously, the best x wing videos I've ever seen. Informative, interesting, great music and video timing that doesn't drag out the slow parts of the game for viewers
That Rebel squad is nasty! Awesome video, I always enjoy when you guys can upload and you're the reason why whenever I played with Vessery I cannot help but say "Ze Colonel"
Lots of comments on the production, which is top-notch, but you also play a very clean game of X-wing. I was very impressed. Very few (like, one) missed opportunities, and very deliberate execution of maneuvers and overlaps. I subscribed!
Very inspiring! Now I understand how Nien Numb is working and Keyan Farlander! Super build! Since you have pronounced this match I was waiting! :-) I think your battle reports are the best on YT. You are doing everything so clear, its cool to watch! Thank You! Danke schön!
I really like both lists. Some very thoughtful list building there. I've been dying to see the follow up though as I'd really like to see the second variant of that rebel list. I hope it's coming soon. Keep up the great work here guys!
It really is incredible how much luckier Thrawn is than Torben... 5 dice, not a single evade while Thrawn rolled 3 evades to barely avoid getting a crit.
I really like Thrawn's rebel list here. Tried it myself and it's fun! I wonder though if it would be better with Hera Syndulla on Keyan and an R2 Astromech on Nien Nunb to maximise Keyan's utility and give Nien even more opportunities to shed stress. Either way, great videos. Please keep them coming!
You guys do some of the coolest x wing videos. Love your set up and play mat :p Only thing I dont like is the sound levels the dialog is really quiet and the music is pretty loud. So to hear you guys talking I need to crank the volume up and then get blasted when it cuts to the movement phase with the music :/
not to trying to be negative. I always try to offer some advice for improvement with a compliment (and a compliment with a critique lol) Once agian you guys have by far the best x wing gameplay videos. :D
Skeletor Jopko yeah my buddy has a rexler and omega build that gives both of them focus tokens for free then they can lock on as an action. It's a brutal team to play against. Really hate it .
Best thing you could do against a list like that is take aces with higher pilot skill. Then you can either dodge their arcs so they can't shoot you at all, or shoot first, making them spend their evade/focus tokens if they want to survive long enough to shoot back.
Skeletor Jopko agree. His build is also a stress blaster lol he gives all my ships stress constantly. Had 3 stress on all my ships at once. Was painful
Thrawn | X-Wing Miniatures Game - Battle Reports Alrighty, here you go! YT-2400: · Dash Rendar (36) Expertise (4) Heavy Laser Cannon (7) Smuggling Compartment (0) · Rey (2) · Outrider (5) Counter-Measures (3) Scavenger Crane (2) ARC-170: · Norra Wexley (29) Push The Limit (3) · R2-D2 (4) Vectored Thrusters (2) · C-3PO (3) Alliance Overhaul (0) The trick is to spend the first 2-3 turns building up focus on Rey, and using Scavenging Crane to recover Countermeasures. Norra has serous late-game survivability. It's a tanky list that can deal some serious damage.
Love the your battles reports, keep up the good work. One thing, You couldn't you have attacked with Gunner before Casian died? The blinded pilot only goes for the first. attack.
Joseph Curran ah ok so when it not being able to role attack dice means not being able to attack. I see, I kind of thought it was just a failed attack.
berusplants Two different effects, two different rules. The TFA Damage Deck Blinded Pilot crit says "you cannot perform attacks," so anything that happens "while attacking" or "after you perform an attack" can't go off. The original Damage Deck said "next time you attack, roll 0 attack dice" so you could attack, use Keyan's ability, use Miranda or Zuckuss or Swarm Leader to add a die, use Finn to add a blank to be rerolled, use the second shot of TLT, use Darth Vader crew, Accuracy Corrector your 0 dice to two hits, and use Gunner. You can see why the new wording is better. Interesting note, this "Rolling 0 dice is still an attack" thing can be used on a HWK with the Weapons Malfunction crit (from either deck).
Funny i used a similar idea, but used the Tie Bomber with pilot compartment giving my other 2 ships a focus token with fleet officer and a target lock with system officer after doing a green move, i had more green moves on that ship due to twin ion engine)
@Thrawn - Maybe you (both) try to bulid lists, having only 101$ (usd) to spend? (using prices at/from FFG). What do you think about doing "budget" games? It could be fun :D I still remember my first-ever list (And i won with this list few games, ha!): Imperial [99/100]: >"Omega Leader" [21 + 5 = 26] -Juke [2] -Comm Relay [3] >"Zeta Leader" [20 + 3 = 23] -Wired [1] -Weapons Guidance [2] >"Epsilon Leader" [19] >"Dark Curse" [16] >"Night Beast" [15] &&You can drop a "Weapons Guidance and him ("Night Beast") for "Mauler Mithel" with "Determination"&& Cost: >Basic Core Set ~39.95$ >FA Core Set ~39.95$ >TIE/FO exp ~14.95$ Total: 94,85$.

You guys ever play lists that others have made?? i have a suggestion of a build...let me know if its alright....2 b-wings and a hwk-290. The idea here is to use Stress as a positive aspect...and to have a lot of recycling with actions...ALOT of combos possible...check it out!! (obviously i was inspired by your B-wing...c'mon, YES you get the credit) GREAT vids! GREAT content! Keep it up guys!!!

Schönen Tag Leute! Nice to see you guys again, and the Upsilon shuttle! Very interesting build from the imperial side, with very nice synergy. One question though, isn't this build very fragile, since the only one hard hitter is the Omega Ace? okay that its 4 fix crit, 5 in rng 1 / round but if he is gone you lose at least 50% of your fire power. Omega Ace needs a Target Lock Focus for his combo and an evade from its own action to hope to survive till 2nd round. The Epsilon Squads are good, but they are mainly to supply evade tokens for the Ace. Wouldnt it be better to use Black Squadron with crack shot on both of them? they are cannon fodder anyway. Great videos, keep it up!

Great match. I wish they where not over so fast. Keep the matches coming, they are a pleasure to watch.
awesome as always. You could release a video every day, and I wouldn't have enough.

Bitteschön!
Je, ich würde es Torben gönnen, daß er auch einmal gewinnt!
Ich auch.
Always amazing ! Thanks !!!

Your video production is amazing. Keep going!
Love your vids. I begin to feel sorry for Torben though!
It really is incredible how much luckier Thrawn is than Torben... 5 dice, not a single evade while Thrawn rolled 3 evades to barely avoid getting a crit.

That First Order list is pretty awesome! Just need to keep that special Tie fighter alive.
Been waiting for this all day :D
Fantastic video! You guys have this down to an art! Wow...well done! Subbed!
Sweet! Watching now
Where have you guys acquired the flourescent upgrade dials?
self-made
herrvoragend!
Are the bases self made too? Wow those are gorgeous! You should think about selling those bases & dials ;-)
You guys do some of the coolest x wing videos. Love your set up and play mat :p Only thing I dont like is the sound levels the dialog is really quiet and the music is pretty loud. So to hear you guys talking I need to crank the volume up and then get blasted when it cuts to the movement phase with the music :/
Yeah, we have to speak louder or we have to buy better (professional) microphones.
can't you just lower the music volume when you edit in the music?
I've done this. I thought, it would be fine.
not to trying to be negative. I always try to offer some advice for improvement with a compliment (and a compliment with a critique lol)
Once agian you guys have by far the best x wing gameplay videos. :D
Really like that omega swarm leader combo!
Four crits isn't bad. Of course, Rexler Brath can give you six crits at once, and even slip them past Chewie.
Skeletor Jopko yeah my buddy has a rexler and omega build that gives both of them focus tokens for free then they can lock on as an action. It's a brutal team to play against. Really hate it .

Skeletor Jopko agree. His build is also a stress blaster lol he gives all my ships stress constantly. Had 3 stress on all my ships at once. Was painful
where do you get your bases and dials?
Mario Armenta
I think I've seen them say they painted the bases with neon paint.
Fantastic video, as always. Do you guys ever play lists shared by subscribers?
You may share your lists here. If we like them, we' ll play them. 😋

Schönes Spiel und wie immer top gemachtes Video. Schade, dass Kylos Fähigkeit nicht zum Tragen kam.
may I ask how you set your tripod and camera up? I am trying to do a similar setup for another Star Wars game!
Love your videos, they are very well produced. Any chance of an "squad" overlay so we can keep up with the heroes health easier?
Why do you need an overlay? All of each pilot's shield tokens and damage cards are plainly visible from this camera angle.
Your videos are perfect, keep up the good work!
Love the your battles reports, keep up the good work. One thing, You couldn't you have attacked with Gunner before Casian died? The blinded pilot only goes for the first. attack.
berusplants Gunner procs when you make an attack that does not hit. Being prevented from making the first attack prevents gunner from activating
berusplants Which is to say that Gunner would proc on Blinded Pilot in the old damage deck, but not the TFA deck they're using
Joseph Curran ah ok so when it not being able to role attack dice means not being able to attack. I see, I kind of thought it was just a failed attack.

Does Inspiring Recruit also work on the ship that it is attached to? From what the card says it sounds like other ship at Range 1-2
How do you do the effects with the cards?
What music are you using (~ 7:15) ?
Torben is always so unlucky with dice results it hurts

That 5 blank evade roll tho...
Where did you get the color ID Tokens for the bases?
self-made
They're fantastic!
Make a tutorial on how to make those tokens, bases and dials!
Alas! No 2nd edition? No more videos?
MORE VIDEOS THRAWN PLEEEEAAASE
Great game
The background music would interest me?
cool
I guessing you're Asian. Perfect voice for this battle report.
Pretty sure they are German ;)
Could you do an A-wing/B-Wing build?
What happened to your videos they are awesome we need updates haha
Ste liste fanno caca a spruzzo. Però il lay out è molto molto bello e il video è molto chiaro (basette colorate, ecc.).
FUN 💜💀 ❗
the targeting sincronizer is only for secondary armament
