That's what I would do. Is there no room for a promo card in Vset8? I would think re-printing an errata card would be a natural choice.

I'm fine with just printing out and putting it in the sleeve in front of the original card. Printing is what I do with my orphans anyway.

Part of the issue is that the printer needs to print in multiples of 18 (that is, 18 cards to a sheet, which then gets cut up into the cards that we receive in the mail). We've already got all the slots filled for V-Set 8, so if we were going to go the route of professionally-printed errata cards, we'd have to drop some new cards from Set 9. And what if we end up needing to errata all 3 of the cards under discussion?

I think that by far the simplest solution is to produce a new card(s) in pdf format and have people print them up for themselves. Or maybe one of us who is going to Gencon could print sheets of them on good cardstock and distribute them at Gencon that way. I know I have access to a good color printer, so I could make that happen if there was demand for it.

Completely agree. I hadn't thought about the fact that Daala might be broken until New Zealand reports came out. But all my games have been pretty easy, and if I were to cross the table to face Daala I only see a very few viable options. And I'm not sure those options even have the upper hand based on the NZ reports. (Although if the opposite side would use Zygerrian and the LIN too, that might even things up.) More data is needed.

In the meantime, I'll continue the brainstorming so that more ideas are out there in case something does need to be done. Another option: give Daala Rival.

Rival (This character may not be in a squad with non-Imperial characters.)

This knocks out the Zygerrian, mice, Czerka, ugnaughts, R7s, LIN, Buzz Droid. It might knock it out of Tier 1 status. Might not. Bothan Saboteurs and Security Officer Stormtroopers provide door control. All of the other commander boosts are still available, but activations go down some due to having to go with more expensive door control. On the other hand, activations might stay the same since you'd probably just get more troopers instead of the LIN. No Czerka means the snowtroopers are maxing out at 40 or 50dmg instead of 70 or 90dmg per activation. No access to the great strafe counters or the uber-deep strike with Zygerrians, so it might knock the squad down to earth by allowing the Lancer/Yobuck to have a definite advantage (and maybe even an auto-win). That last issue may knock it out of Tier 1 status. (Although Disra's bribery would allow a Buzz droid to come in as an Imperial.)

holy crap....
sounds broken to me :)

i'm trying to come up with a squad for hamilcon next weekend. knowing there will be daala.. argh!

Darth O,

You might have beaten the Raxus Primes. They are the ones who max out at 13 attack or 17 with Needa's reroll. But it still would have been tough against fifteen of them who all have major mobility.

Do you guys think if it was just regular charging (not +10) that it would have made a difference?

Charging Assault? That's the melee one, right?

Played a game against DieAndBeMetal tonight on Vassal, he ran YoBuck against Daala. Many of you have played Christian at tournaments and know he's a solid player. He won map roll, and he picked Theed as his map. This is the squad I ran...

Daala 27
Piett 20
Gary 16
Flim 15
Ozzel 11
Needa 11
Mas 8
R7 8
x2 Slaver 16
x 15 Raxus Prime
x2 Uggie


I had right side of the map, he had left. First round he left R2 attached to Gen Sky, and Yobuck attached to Foul. I stuffed all of my troopers behind doors and then jammed the doors with 40hp pieces so Yoda couldn't get my Raxus troopers. I did a deep strike in the first round and took out R2.

At this point we're talking about the game, I tell him that I'm pretty confident I've won, and tell him there is no way I'm going to give him the Gallop. I'm going to keep all of my guys behind my door jams, wait him out, deep strike him to death. Christian agrees. We play it out. He goes for the Gallop, it's horrible. He kills one Raxus trooper. After he has activated all of his pieces, I unload, I kill Yobuck, Foul, and Gen Sky all in the same round. I had troopers to attack his other pieces with as well, but at this point, he was 100 percent sick of Daala and her antics, and quit the game.

So yeah game was over in 2nd round, I knew I was going to win after I got R2 in the first. And it was a NPE on both ends.

Thrawn/Mas/Chief Chirpa/Ewok Cheiftan/Jabba CL. If you add Lobot and Ozzel you are at a very slim 128 pts. Add 20 ewoks/3 ugos/1 mouse to get to 200 plus lobot. 31 acts with Ozzel PLUS lobot should let you outactivate anything out there.

Ewoks all charge for 13/30 (just like Raxus assuming Daala were to lose the +10 damage). They are melee instead of shooty, but the addition of init control plus swap should make up for it I Think plus the fact that you get more of them. Thought maybe you could surprise someone with it. And I am sure there is room to max it out.
