Well I thought I was in for a chance and maybe I could have won but i made to many mistakes at the start I knew I lost before our first dice roll we both started in opposite corners to fly in and meet in the middle we set our ships up in range one of the edge of the board. We did not know at the time we could set our ship up in range 1-2 of the board edge, mistake 1. Mistake 2 I flew my A wing to far away from my other ships to give any support then i tried to fly my X’s and Y after to back them up mistake 3. B wings didn’t lose there stress from there first move and the falcon was to faraway to be any good. All my ships were picked off 1 by 1 due to bad flying then bad defences rolls 1 A wing did get off its AM rolled 1 crit vs 4 blank from Tie fighter range 3. The only good thing for me that night. after round 4 we didnt care it had been over 2 hours so i started charging the transport through the asteroids to ram his ships no damage but i missed them all. Biggest lesson I learned is the transport is so SLOW. Had no practice flying it before the game will do so before our rematch next Friday. The last bits of advice keep your ships close to the transport or leave it home. Asteroids are not a problem for them so charge on through (its fun wiping them out). Read the rules it will help you and dont use my list

Way too much cardboardon the Transport as well. Pick an energy card or two, a title, and go. Same as any other ship.BTW, does Chewie Crew work on a Transport?

The transport is a bit too unfocused I think.

It should work as normal.
