Maybe when I've gotten better I will feel comfortable taking an Imperial squad to a tournament. Happy flying!

Accordingly, re-charge needs less skill in decision making compared to evade.<br />Commrelay changes this a bit, at the cost of 3 points (compared to 3 and 4).<br /><br />So in theory we should see a lot more shield recharge for most players and less of them for the best players who can capitalize more on predictable actions. Similarly we should see fewer evades among most players while the top players use their unpredictability.<br /><br />Or shield recharge gets more powerful in the right hands and Paul Heaver wins anyway :PCptArgonautnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164938451861125757.post-1794357236280873032016-01-25T17:33:31.098-07:002016-01-25T17:33:31.098-07:00Very true.

I would definitely take C with Predator so I could boost and evade each round. And I didn't gloss over C's ability, I completely skipped it since the Scum section was talking specifically about permanent recharge.

There's an argument for IG-88A in an epic game. But, of course, in an epic game you should take both!Jeff Wilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950950764544855394noreply@blogger.com
