I've severly hurt if not broken my ankle. So, I might not be attending the game on tursday. I am going to try VERY hard to get there. But if I am not, the star wars trivia contest will be the following thursday. I will call the store on thursday to let Matt know and he will keep everyone informed.
Sorry about your ankle, man. Hopefully we'll get lucky and see you there anyway.
Other important announcements for that game...
We have champions and universe boosters in the store now, as of tonight we did not yet get our Bounty Hunter Packs. Who knows, maybe they'll come in tomorrow.
You can check out the stats for everything in the Bounty Hunter packs at http://www.swshoebox.com/. The signup for the site is kinda meh, but it's worth it for being able to see the stats.
As a prize, I will crack open a Champions pack and give first, second and third picks to the top three tournament finalists, in order.
The remainding minis will probably go up for auction or be saved for selling individual minis in the future.
Also, I just looked back over the commander effect rules and discovered that commander effects which affect the same statistic do not stack. Only the highest counts.
so's i'd only use the stormtrooper commanders that give an extra attack at the end of the turn.
These things stump both the cards and the rulebooks, guys. Might want to flip through them.
Brian, if you look at JC70, you'll find they address the issue of which characters can use emperor palpatine's force points. apparently it's anyone in the squad, force rating or no.
Also, the choice to play where the first activation only activates 1 character is not in the official rules or errata anywhere. That is somebody else's house rule and we will not be playing with it.
Matt, you're so resourceful. you should be like a manager or something! Just a little update, most likely won't be there tonight, I might give in and go have my ankle x-rayed. But I will look through the rules before next thursday. Sorry. But I will give ya a call in the store with the final say so before 4PM.
