Gaming amigo came home with Imp Aces and gave me an Opportunist card. Since then I've flown against 3 Ints, usual Stealth+PTL and now Hull modification with:
##### A #####
Ibitsam + Opportunist + Sensor Jammer + Heavy Laser Cannon
Garven + R2 astro
Wedge + Veteran Instincts
Alpha strike is awesome as Wedge and Garven remove tokens, Ibi roll 5 reds with Garven's focus + TL + reroll (she is stressed).
I feel opportunist has potential (wins 4-1) and Ibi is the perfect pilot but Ibi is too loaded point wise and Garven, while cool, ain't a game changer.
What if we tweak things a bit and go with:
##### B #####
Ibitsam + Opportunist + Sensor Jammer
ORS + Anti Pursuit Lasers
Wedge + Veteran Instincts + Engine Upgrade
action denial > high PS shots to ensure Opportunist triggers. Against interceptors is proven to be the best strategy besides taking Han+Marsmanship+Gunner.
ORS would work better with Int Agent and Navigator but I have no points left. Big base, 360° and (maybe) free damage if blocking is succesful should be enough.
Wedge with Engine and superhigh PS should be able to avoid being shoot at and always shot first.
List B will be trading red die for tankiness, It may not remove a Dagger from the board before he is able to shoot back but It won't be falling into pieces as quickly as other 3 ship lists.
So, quick poll, cast your vote ( elaborate if you like ):
A# 0 votes
B# 0 votes
(I'll update the above with your feedback)
