FIRST LOOK: WizKids Star Trek Attack Wing Wave 4 Card Packs Previews

-Scott Rubin

WizKids is ready to unleash a lot of new Star Trek Attack Wing content in the near future, with a pair each of Card Packs AND Faction Packs!  This week we’re lucky enough to share with you a series of previews from these upcoming products starting with some cards from the Wave 4 Card Packs: Federation Attack Squadron Card Pack (for use with the Wave 11 Fighter Squadron 6 Expansion Pack) and Hirogen Warship Card Pack (Wave 11 Alpha Hunter Expansion Pack). 

72952 - Defensive Maneuver Alpha - Wave 4

First up are a couple upgrades for the Federation Attack Squadron starting with the Defensive Maneuver Alpha.  A 1 point Federation Attack Squadron card, Alpha enables its bearer to serve as an obstruction for attacks targeting friendly ships (normally ships do not obstruct attacks).  This is a great way for Attack Squadrons to affect the shape and flow of the battle by forcing enemies to maneuver into firing positions against your capital ships.

72952 - Flanking Manuver Epsilon - Wave 4

If you’re looking for even more mobility on your Attack Squadron then consider installing the 3 point Flanking Maneuver Epsilon upgrade.  This limit one per ship card lets an Attack Squadron perform a free 1 straight template Sensor Echo action even if it’s not cloaked!  When you do so your Squadron will get three Time Tokens, so you’ll need to plan for the optimal times to use the maneuver.

72953 - Stealth Mode - Wave 4

Taking a look at the Hirogen Card Pack we’ve got the 3 point Stealth Mode Independent Faction Tech upgrade that can only be equipped on a Hirogen Warship.  During your activation phase you can trigger Stealth Mode to perform a free action Sensor Echo even if the ship is not cloaked, and in return you have to place two Time Tokens on the card.  It gives the notorious hunters some nice tactical flexibility that your opponents may not expect.

72953 - Relics - Wave 4

Finally the Hirogen get access to Relics, a 4 point Independent Elite Talent upgrade that can only be equipped to a ship with Karr or another Hirogen Captain.  When the ship hits an enemy with an attack (once per round) put one Mission Token on it, then in your Activation Phases you can spend one Mission Token to perform an action from the ship’s Action Bar for free!
