ive never played a DCI game in my years of minis, and its because of the weird rules and banning of figs.
if i wanna play with GOWK and Fett together, then i should.
not my fault they made GOWK 55 pts....

well i didnt mean to hurt your feelings on the subject, and i am aware of the Dynamic duo ban, and thats what i meant. i dont know anything about lockout squads.
its not that ive actually "avoided" playing DCI, no one here in nashville plays DCI, because no one plays SW minis. just my small group of friends.
i went to Gencon last year, and was intriqued by the different circumstances on gameplay, but ive been playing it as i have for years, and kinda feel "you cant teach this old dog any new tricks."

Please don't turn this into another GOWK thread. It's been debated ad naseum and never leads to a productive discussion. If G--- has to be discussed, then take it to one of the numerous posts here, SWMGamers, or even WotC.

Remember: Game Mechanics are the realm of WotC. DCI only deals with the competitive tournament environment and the rules there in. These should be dealt with seperately in discussions.

Just trying to keep things on target.

But, as my offering to the original discussion:

Melee (SA) vs melee (mechanic).

I would have loved to see this get defined.

Melee SA: A character with a printed "Melee" SA can only attack enemies that are adjacent.

melee: Any attacks against adjacent enemies are treated as having the "Melee" special ability against said enemies and all defensive purposes therein.

Just a little peeve of mine since the beginning but that's because I was an RPG'er (not SW) first. Also bugs me that Lightsaber + 10 is dealt with differently as just a basic melee attack with a lightsaber.

ahhhh... i get it now.
ive always made an override rule, because ive had people do that 2 me alot.
i usually make it a max of 5 overrides in a game.
as for the melee peeve, ill agree with marked on that.
i have many peeves about the game, and slowly and surely, they are fixing them.
id like to see something with a double bladed lightsaber throw, some kinda nasty attack modifier. if anyone here has played SW battle front 2, and youve played with maul, you might know what im talking about. its kinda like a strafing lightsaber throw that just hits every enemy in its path...

is that the one with the Ratattak arena on one side?

i played with a screw head the other day who decided that my rule sucked, and decided to use Lobot, R2 and C3-PO and the reb commando with override. he spent all of those points for 15 overrides, and didnt make it past the 4th inish.

new idea for a stat.
temporary override( this ability works like FPs, where the acting character has X the amount of times where they can use override.)

destructive charge-( this ability works like satchel charge, except it destroys doors that are (or not) controlled by override.)

I fully expected to hear this one come up but I figured it would be after Gencon. I thought we would get that far.... oh well!!!!

I always said I hated that map now you know why.

no!!
it equals C4!
BOOM!

its another arena map, that should be enough to satisfy you

For one, it'd be nice to have characters that actually are pilots to have the pilot ability. I may be wrong, but I have not yet seen a Han Solo with pilot. Darth krayt has pilot, but yet there very few pilot light jedi, even though most of the Republic Jedi had their own personal starfighters. Don't even get me started on Baron Fel not having pilot. Then again, there's not much reason to play with pilot characters since general Reeikan came out. I mean come on, almost every character in Star Wars has piloted at one time.

Another complaint is no New Republic Chewie, R2, 3P0. It should be errata'd that any Rebellion character should automatically have affinity for New Republic.

More Force ghosts would be nice too, especially Yoda, or Sith Lord ghosts like Freedon Nadd or Exar Kun. On a side note, if they make an Anakin Force Spirit, they better make two versions, one Hayden Christensen and one of David Prowse from the original. If it's only the Hayden version, that will be one mini I will never own.

Also, Unique Jawas. Het N'kik would be easy.

From an RPG standpoint, i'd personally like to see more non humanoid Jedi figures. I think there's a Rodian Jedi and that's about it for non-uniques.

That being said, my biggest complaint is that there are almost no playable versions of Yoda. It's either massive force defense powers, and no offense, or average offense and little force powers at all. Grand Master is ok, but could have been so much better.
