Packing Counter Attack on both of them is a very likely build - eating 6 dice in exchange for scratching the paint on one of those behemoths is a painful prospect.<br /><br />And yes, the Kraxon is amazing with Counter Attack, and even better if you make it a Flagship when using your resource slot (the correct choice of which can add attack, shield, and potentially even an elite talent to the ship).Dick McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037523431073995642.post-32037828482939030732013-11-07T11:22:49.928-08:002013-11-07T11:22:49.928-08:00You've pretty much got to build around Counter...You've pretty much got to build around Counter Attack- it has to be on a very threatening ship, or you have to have it on all ships. It requires a lot of consideration before you can put it into a list.

While I think it can be situationally useful, it ended up being wasted in OP2 because cloaking and sensor echoing proved much more valuable. In a game where you've much more room to maneuver I'm sure I would have used it a lot more.Obsidian3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987358994076703659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037523431073995642.post-57444349290744598322013-11-07T09:04:51.125-08:002013-11-07T09:04:51.125-08:00Generally, I haven't been mentioning cards I h...Generally, I haven't been mentioning cards I haven't spoken about- mainly because if I start doing that, I'll run out of potential articles quickly! The Kraxon is a ship that is under rated I think.

With 4 attack dice and a 180 degree firing arc there's pretty much nothing your opponent can do to avoid the attack and it'll probably hurt.<br /><br />Since you'll be making 2 attacks it works best with upgrades/actions that are constant. [Kraxon, Picard, Counter Attack, Spock] could be an interesting combo (expensive though). Breen Aide would be a much cheaper, if slightly less effective, alternative to Spock.<br /><br />One other note: as per the FAQ at BGG you can use secondary weapons with counter attack. Probably some interesting possibilities there eventually. Forward Weapons Grid is the only one I can see with the current secondary weapons. Put 1 attack die on the ship that triggered the counter attack and then you can put the other 4 on any ship in your firing arc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308415043607071538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037523431073995642.post-41459237675059290522013-11-07T01:38:29.274-08:002013-11-07T01:38:29.274-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308415043607071538noreply@blogger.com
