In this episode of The Bespin Benchwarmers, Alex, Matt, and Cody dissect and analyze how to approach the initial engagement. They systematically break down the threats in your opponent's list, what to look out for, and initial target priority. They also explain which archetypes are best suited to jousting, and which opportunities you should joust the opposing list. Lastly, they talk about the different roles your ships should take in the engagement - which ones should take the brunt of the list, flank, run interference, etc.

In this episode of the Bespin Benchwarmers Podcast, we are joined by the Hexiled Tournament winner, Josh Richardson. We discuss his winning Republic list and some challenges he faced in the tournament. We also talk extensively about Rebel list building. We go over the typical list building archetypes and all four of us present both a Hyperspace and Extended list - a total of 13 lists with different play styles!

Note: Matt recorded this episode with us, but his audio was eaten by the internet. He'll be back with us in two weeks!

Show Notes

In the inaugural episode of the Bespin Benchwarmers Podcast, Cody, Matt and Alex talk about some early trends they see in Hyperspace, including 3-agility die swarms, double CIS Firesprays, and options for the Empire and Republic. They also discuss lesser talked-about point changes for every faction and synergistic strategies for the upgrades. The final topic is a complete breakdown on a very divisive new ship – the ETA-2 Actis.
