So, the wife mentioned me that she wishes we could enjoy coffee together. I’m not a coffee drinker, not for a couple decades anyways, long before I met my wife. So I’m looking for a place that does fancier coffees but also does a decent breakfast.

I see a bunch of comments saying the void mine is useless now as you’ll never get it off because they’ll just shoot you off the board before you can use it. The enemy already has that option now!

Current 10th edition rules: your voidraven comes in turn 2. It doesn’t move on, it gets placed, and therefore does not move over anything and doesn’t activate the once per game void mine. Your opponent can still shoot it down in their turn before you get a chance to move it. Turn 3 rolls around and you move the voidraven in a straight line (which your opponent could easily move out of the way of) and you pick a point along that path to drop the bomb. You’re turn 3 minimum before you could use the void mine. You have to survive through an opponent’s shooting phase before you can drop it already! Your flyer never gets obscured from terrain so it can be shot at from across the board. Yes, you could rapid ingress your voidraven, but you still have to survive through an enemy shooting phase without the benefit of obscuring. Most anti-tank weapons should have no issues reaching you.

In 11th edition: your voidraven is placed within 6” of the board edge. At the end of your opponent’s fight phase, you can drop your bomb within 24” to a model visible. This gives a 48” wide threat range along the board edge that it came in on. You still have to survive an opponent’s shooting phase before you can use the mine, but now you’re obscured by terrain. With decent positioning, you should be able to be hidden. The big thing is that you no longer have it being once per game.

It’s been a few years, I owned the game growing up, but I legit ragequit when attempting the ride chaser stage. It completely ruins the game. I can overlook the replaying of the sub stage, I can even overlook Alia stopping you dead in your tracks. The ride chaser though, it completely killed it for me. I’d rather play X6 again.

Best to worst for me is going to go: X1, X2, X4, X3, X8, X6, X5, X7
