Okay, fast-forward 24 seconds. The TIE Advanced squadron is within 30 squares of the E-Wing squadron. The P-Wing squadron has elected not to use proton missiles on fighters.
Disclaimer: This is only the second space combat I've ever run in SWSE; I'm playing this by ear as much as you guys. I think I may have been reading too many Honor Harrington books when I dreamed up this game
Nope; the 11 other TIEs were using total defense, so the six 'standard' pilots needed natural 20s to hit at long range, and I didn't roll any. It was pretty clear from your practice runs that as far as the E-Wing pilots went, the wing commander is the best on the ship, then you and Zennith are pretty even, and then the other six are pretty even.
