I know, I know.. these things are done to death..

I'm entering in my first tournament tomorrow, and I was wondering if people here could help me out.

Using what I currently have ship wise, I'm hoping to try a Rebel List out, and I'm hoping you guys can give me suggestions on my build, or just something better than what I've come up with..

Here goes..

Garven and R5 Astromech

Dutch Vander, R5-K6 and Ion Turret

Chewie and Falcon Title..

100 Points - Not worried about the initiative bid..

I'm thinking R5-K6 works well with Dutch, and with Garven handing out Focus Tokens like they're candy I should be able to TL and Focus easily enough every round.

Any Suggestion??

Anything better using the ships I have in my Sig?

EDIT: I was originally thinking of Chewie and 2 Blues with AdvS, but alas I only have 1 shuttle

I'm not a big fan of spending the points for the Astromechs you have listed. To me R5K6 is just a big gamble even if it could allow one of your other ships to TL. I'm also not a huge fan of R5 as it takes a certain kind of face-up damage card to be useful and you're only going to see two chances to use it.

Now you could make a named YT and any two rebel ships work and even with your collection you have plenty of options including the various HSF options.

You're going to hear a lot of annoyance at R5-K6. People don't tend to like wasting their action when the dice aren't in their favor. In this case, the dice will only be out-of-favor 37.5% of the time, but that's enough, apparently.

Chewbacca is an interesting choice. I don't normally see Named YT-1300s fielded without a Gunner: 3 ship builds tend to do poorly in the tournament setting, due to potentially low damage.

However, pairing him with Dutch and Garven mean that you're going to have a superb action economy.



I might solve both of the quandries with a single stone, however.
Have you considered Lando instead of Chewie and one of the Astromechs? That way, you get 6 actions per round (as though R5-K6 hit every time you attacked, in the Chewbacca list, assuming that Lando gets a green maneuver every turn.)
The downside here is that Lando is at PS 7, which means he's not going to be able to use Garven's offensive focus, but that's also more ships to shoot down before they can shoot at Dutch/Garven.

For the full trio, Dutch needs to pass his Target Lock to Lando, Lando should Focus or Evade, and pass a free action to Garven, who will Target Lock and Focus together. Garven passes a focus to Dutch in-combat, and you're all gravy.
