<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hey all, is it Wednesday already?\u00a0 Guess that means you are back to see some information on another Wave 2 Expansion Pack for Star Trek: Attack Wing!\u00a0 This week we look at a tiny scout ship for those duplicitous Romulans: the R.I.S. Vo<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 Keeping with its functional nature, the R.I.S. Vo<\/i><\/b> is not going to be the heavy hitter for the Romulan fleet.\u00a0 With a sole attack die, its main purpose will be to hamper the opponent by getting in the way and denying actions due to the overlapping of ship bases.\u00a0 It will be well served in this role with its natural 3 evasion dice (another Attack Wing \u201cfirst\u201d this wave), coupled with the ability to cloak, as well as the ability to perform an Evasive Maneuver Action as a free action after moving.\u00a0 All of these items are going to keep this Scout Vessel on the board for a long time even if it is not attacking. With Alidar Jakok<\/i> captaining the ship, a player has even more assurances of survival as he can discard his Elite Talent a ship at range 1 or 2 to keep the two ships from firing at one another (shouting \u201cDon\u2019t Phase Me, Bro\u201d is completely optional).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another defensive boost contained in the Expansion Pack is the unique Selok<\/i> Crew Upgrade.\u00a0 She can be discarded as an action and a targeted opponent ship within Rage 1 cannot attack her ship for that round.\u00a0 Because games are not won on avoiding your enemy\u2019s attacks alone, the R.I.S. Vo<\/i><\/b> also has a few upgrades that will work well on dealing damage to an opponent.\u00a0 The Tech Upgrade, Ultritium Explosives<\/i>, can do some serious damage to an opponent.\u00a0 If your ship is not cloaked, this upgrade can be discarded to lower your shields and then target an uncloaked ship that also has no active shields.\u00a0 With the additional discard of a Crew Upgrade, a player can then inflict one Critical hit against an opponent\u2019s ship.\u00a0 With the Romulan faction having several 1 point Crew options, this little surprise would only take 3 points to pull off.\u00a0 Massacre<\/i>, the Elite Talent upgrade in the set, can also be coupled with Ultritium Explosives<\/i> for more devastation due to its ability to add 1 additional damage to the opposing ship.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Finally we look at the Mission in the Expansion Pack: The Defector<\/i>.\u00a0 Two Romulan players will act out the beginning acts of the TNG episode of the same name.\u00a0 One player (the Romulan Defector) is trying to reach the safety of an awaiting Federation ship (represented by an objective token) while the other Romulan Empire player is \u201cpursuing\u201d the defector.\u00a0 Destruction of the Romulan Defector\u2019s ship actually causes the Romulan Empire player to lose so care has to be taken when firing upon the Defector\u2019s ship but a player cannot totally ignore the ship as it gives the Defector a greater chance of victory in the end.<\/p>\n
Taking all of this to mind, players can look forward to another weapon in the Romulan\u2019s arsenal to help defeat the Dominion advance (as well as those Federation and Klingon forces that are not completely trustworthy).\u00a0 With everything needed to play, as well as Effect Tokens to assist as memory aides for players, the R.I.S. Vo<\/i><\/b> Expansion Pack will be a ship to not take too lightly on the battlefield.\u00a0 Join us again next week as we look at the final expansion for Wave 2: the Federation ship, U.S.S. Excelsior<\/i><\/b>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
