Been playing around with the garven and Dutch combo a lot lately mad thought of something that might be interesting....

Green with envy

Garven x wing (26)

Dutch y wing with ion turret (28)

Green squad a wing with opportunist x2

The idea is garven and Dutch give each other target lock and focus for their shots to strip tokens, greens hit worth a **** with opp, but are faster and slipperier than x wings.

Any thoughts on if it will be worth a ****... Or a better name.

What about Expose instead of Opportunist? If you're facing any ships with lower PS, they may still be holding onto tokens.

I myself am looking at the Garven and Dutch combo, with 2 Red Squadron Xwings.

Funny, I played this exact same squad today and it went well. Green A-Wing with Opportunists are great flankers and finishers. It makes the opponent think a little more before spending a focus token if he acts before you, which happened today since my opponent was PS9 (Vader), 7 (Tetran), 6 (Backstabber) and 5 (Lorrir). Action denial works great too and if an enemy ship happens to get ionized while stressed (got Lorrir this way after his **** barrel roll), it feels like a wolfpack attacking a sick prey. I had fun playing it.

Concerning the comparaison with Expose, Opportunist is straight down better in my opinion. First of all, and most importantly, you still get to make your action, so your +1 dice shot will be backed up by focus or target lock, something that won't happen with Expose. Second of all, you still keep your defense dice, which is really helpful, especially if you attack second: sometimes another ship than your target can get a good shot on you, so you need that evade dice to protect yourself. One thing about opportunist though, you're really better to put it on a ship with lots of greens, so A-Wing, ships with R2 unit and Interceptors are the best candidates. Ships with low PS are better too, the opponent have less chance to have a token by the time you attack, and if he decide to keep it, it means he didn't use it against you.

Yeah I ran the Dutch/garven combo with two reds at one store champ, and the d/g with two blues at another. It's a wicked combo, but I figured it might be a bit more fun with the As. I'll have to try this out soon.

I think this list would be way more awesome if you changed Garven over to Wes.

Obviously you have to wait for the month or two until Tranpsort comes out. But still.
