I'm looking to field 2 YT-1300s and trying to figure the best way to do that in terms of being functional and also being fun. It's hard to fit 4 ships in this way, so I'm thinking 3 might be better - here is what I've got:

Outer Rim Smuggler + Anti-Pursuit Lasers (29)

Outer Rim Smuggler + Anti-Pursuit Lasers (29)

Ibtisam + Advanced Sensors + Heavy Laser Cannon + Push the Limit (41)

I tossed around the idea of using Jan to be able to boost one of the ORS up to a healthier 3 dice... but I dunno.

Any suggestions for fielding two YT-1300s?

Check out APLs and Ionzes over at themetalbikini. Looks like a ton of fun.

ORS with APL X2

Rebel Operative with Ion Cannon Turret X2

Ion a ship and then park your ORS in its path.

That seems effective, but maybe a little cheesey.... like I doubt my opponent would enjoy playing in a game where he couldn't do anything.

I know you asked for a Double, but what about a Triple?

3 x ORS: APLs, Intelligence Agent, Saboteur

You clog up the board, force people to fly into you, APL them, Sabo to flip some cards, and Int Agent to know who best to target Lock?

Or randomize your crew a bit to give each ship a slightly different feel, but non-action damage is fantastic!

• Lando Calrissian (44) + Draw Their Fire (1) + Gunner (5)
• Chewbacca (42) + Draw Their Fire (1) + Gunner (5) + Millennium Falcon (1)

ORS + APL is great. + Intelligence Agent + Navigator + initiative is better, as you can now guarantee the collision! (See their dial, Navigator to hit, and move first!)

Last game I played I was trying out what 3x Bounty Hunter was like, my mate went with 2x Outer Rim Smuggler with 2x Gold Squadron Pilot Y-wings with Ion Turrets. **** those ions were annoying but it was the most attrition based game we'd ever played went on for a couple hours. The rebs won that match up, you just cannot outmaneuver all those turrets.

• Lando Calrissian (44) + Draw Their Fire (1) + Gunner (5)
• Chewbacca (42) + Draw Their Fire (1) + Gunner (5) + Millennium Falcon (1)

That's 99 points, so feel free to stick Nien or an Intelligence Agent in somewhere. Just keep them in formation, and you can beat most lists through sheer attrition.

Why have DtF on Lando? I'd guess it is to try preventing some focus fire on Chewie by pulling some Crits onto his shield but otherwise I don't see it.

I read that article and it immediately sounded like one of these concepts that is a good idea in a tournament but would suck all the fun right out of the game for both players.

I might not have believed it either, but the first time I played against it I did a total of 17 damage and still couldn't pull off the win. The second time I played against it, I managed to kill Chewie but Lando still had 6 hp left and managed to polish off my last ship anyway. It's an incredibly tough list.

If you don't like it, though, you can certainly replace Lando's DTF with Expert Handling--might let him shake some arcs after Chewie's killed.

I don't get this also, as Chewie ignores Crit's anyway. I'd rather have VI and make Lando a 9.

Seriously, Expert Handling is great on Falcons, Gunner is great on Falcons, and you want to be doing green maneuvers anyway to get Lando's ability off. Give it a whirl: it's FANTASTIC!

Chewie w/PTL, Weapons Engineer, Recon Specialist, and Millennium Falcon

Lando w/PTL and Adrenaline Rush

This list doesn't make use of Lando's ability. Chewie will be stressed, and therefore incapable of taking the free action.

Chewie uses PTL after the action from Lando and not during his own action phase.

The reason for this is to spread the damage around as long as possible. If they focus fire on Chewie, you can keep giving some damage to Lando and extend his life…if they focus on lando you can give some to chewie and extend his life. basically you're (trying to) making him fight two falcons all the time instead of allowing 1 to die early

Thats ok...but PTL and Adrenaline Rush in one Slot?

I really like the sound of the Dual ORS with APL and two HWK's with Ion's. As scummy as that list sounds, it sounds like it could be fun to play once or twice now and again.

This one really is fantastic. I've flown it a few times and it does really, really well. EH on YTs is just incredible, and the look on your buddy's face when you do a huge backwards barrel roll out of a firing arc makes running this list worth it in of itself.

Yeah, lock down the board so no one can move and then roll one die a turn while your opponent leaves the table to watch another game because there is literally nothing they can do. Sounds like a blast /sarcasm

I just read it too. I think I would rather stick my head in a gas oven and light a match than play that list. You might as well autopilot that game.

^ Nice to see that my post is whited out. Joy.

The APL\Ionzers list can only do it's thing to two ships at a time. So all of your other ships, just go for the HWK's and once their dead, so is the core strategy of the list.

As for Double Falcon lists, Lando with Chewie as others have listed in various fashions is certainly a strong contender.

think i'll try this today

Tried it today and it ROCKED. Video BATREP of the battle will be up on my channel tonight. I nicknamed my Black Falcon the "Colt 45".

I don't claim you can have a better time with Expert Handling + Gunner than without it, but why take chances?
