TIE Bombers Strike Back: Star Wars X-Wing Tactics

By Barclay Montgomery | April 18th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

TIE Bombers are back in a big way with the latest in munitions upgrade technology. Come and see what all the hype is about!

Tomax Bren is an excellent TIE Bomber pilot with that ability that keeps his disposable Elite upgrades coming back for more! The latest munitions upgrade, Unguided Rockets, will make Tomax a force to be feared on the Star Wars X-Wing tabletop.

Unguided Rockets is a 3 attack missile upgrade that can attack at range 1-3, and can be fired while you have a focus token. You can only modify those attack dice with a focus token. This is fine and dandy since Tomax has a primary attack value of 2, this is a nice little boost to 3 attack and at the same range. The awesome thing is that since this is a secondary weapon, range bonuses do not apply to your targets. A good way to keep bringing the pain would be with the Crack Shot Elite upgrade.

Crack Shot allows you to cancel an enemy’s evade dice, but you can use this with every attack since Tomax’s ability kicks in with this disposable Elite. This is a great way to take advantage of your enemy being in a disadvantaged position when they receive those 3 attack dice to the face!

A nice a cheap ship that can put out some serious hurt at long ranges. Also cancelling opponent’s evade dice will seriously damage their defenses and lead to swift death for the foes of the Empire!
