The Midwest Scrubcast

We hope you'll have as much fun as we did with this rambling Scrub-style interview with Stay On Target podcast's Gordon Berg, on his year-long hiatus and his hopes and fears about the future of X-Wing. Sorry about the technical difficulties and the delayed release...at least we got our guest's audio right this time...

The title says it all, doesn't it? Well not quite all, there's a good bit about the Flight Club Aces Championship in here too, since a certain Scrubcast member performed pretty well over the weekend. 

The episode so lost it had to be re-recorded! Special guest Matt Behr joins us as his extremely belated reward of dubious value for winning the Fitwest Scrub October Challenge. 

The scrubs have a bit of a soapbox to get on about how 3 agility swarms are getting old. Here are the charts we were attempting to describe: https://midwestscrub.wordpress.com/2021/03/04/episode-32-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-meta-supplemental-post/

Don't forget about Scrub Aces High night on Friday March 5th!

The scrubs start with a strongish recommendation for the half blood point if you're going to play Aces High with medium/large bases. Otherwise, Clint finally admits the ETA might be fun, Poe is finally an Ace, and the Scum players among us have some beef with our former FFG overlords.

Extended tournament that we hyped for real this time: https://tabletop.to/tricity-tournament

Matt Cary is making Pelob great again, Dan is still trying to solve the Guri problem, and the rest of us...uh, have hair?

Here's a link to the tournament that we said we didn't know the details to: https://tabletop.to/tricity-tournament

We've been without competitive play for so long, the only thing in the socially distanced world that can get us excited any more is Aces High. That and Guri of course.

Here's the link to the Attack of the Clones league we mentioned in the episode: https://tabletop.to/nocost-online-league-february-2021

Timestamps: [00:02:00] Aces High format ideas | [00:25:00] Some alternate format tournaments we think are cool | [00:35:00] Dan's Guri testing book report

Last episode we issued a challenge to build Dan a new Guri list. After quite a few submissions from the listeners, now we’re challenging Dan to find one he would actually be willing to try! Which Guris will make the cut?

The scrubs relive their resounding and shameful defeat at the Mini-Clorian, and share some of their struggles with the current TTS meta.

The Scrubs play catch-up after losing Episode 25 to the Sarlacc pit of misfortune and/or incompetence. Sorry, Matt Behr! We've got a Mini-Clorian coming up, and Clint has thoughts about ETAs and the systems phase, and game balance. Also who wants to play Aces High with us?
