Wedge. 29

Push the limit. 03

R5-P9. 03

Stealth. 03

TOTAL===========38

Total=============100

Stealth on a falcon is a waste, do a hull upgrade instead. Might want to do the same for wedge as well.

Why a waste when it increases agility by 1, until you are hit off course, was looking for a way to increase the falcons agility?

You'll be hit in the first round of fire and lose the Stealth Device immediately.

Because, with 2 agility you're likely to get hit on the first shot anyways, so the Stealth device will be useless.

If you're getting attacked by someone with 3 red dice, with nothing to help him (no TL or focus), even if you have a focus for defense, you're getting hit 40% of the time. Give the attacker a focus or TL and you're now getting hit 70% of the time, even with a focus for defense.

Basically, for Stealth to be worth it, you need it to save you from 2 hits. Which is unlikely.

What you want to do is take a gunner. Then take evade action every turn. With your gunner (and Han ability) you don't need offensive actions.

2 agility isn't really that hard to hit. It will probably happen the first time you get shot at. 1 extra agility dice will protect you from 1/2 a point of damage.

a Shield or Hull upgrade will protect you from 1 point of damage each.

If you take the Millennium Falcon title upgrade and dicipline to take evade actions that will protect you from 1 damage every turn you get fired at, 3 or 4 at least.

You can't have a Stealth Device and an Engine Upgrade on the falcon at the same time, they are both modifications. If you want more evade action, get C3-PO.

Ok, all good advice guys.

Next question, what is the best list to run if I was going with two YT1300's, and do the rules stop you from using two Falcon titles?

Thanks mate, I should of known that, I take it that's the C3-PO that comes with the Tantive?

The Millennium Falcon is a unique title so it can't be used on multiple ships. If the name on the card has a dot next to it, then that means it is unique. Also just letting you know, a two ship squad isn't going to do well against most other squads. Not enough firepower. I'd drop Wedge and take a couple of Red Squadron Pilots instead if you are able to.

Han Solo

-Millenium Falcon

-Gunner

Red Squadron Pilot x2

That leaves you two points for upgrades. Maybe a couple of R2 astromechs for your x-wings.

This a solid list, and gives you more firepower.

If you absolutely want only two ships then your best bet would be taking two YT's. Maybe Han, and Chewbacca with upgrades.

That's a Dual Falcon list, and there are a few variations.

The cheapest way you can run this is Chewbacca + Gunner and Lando + Gunner, netting you only 4 points of variance.

You could use Han/Lando with no non-gunner upgrades

You could use Han/Chewie with 2 points left over

My favorite is Chewie/Lando (still both with Gunner) and both with Expert Handling. I don't care if I'm stressed, I'm barrel-rolling like a madman, and breaking Target Locks while i'm at it.

(For the record, a YT-1300 Barrel-rolling can go from Range 3 to Adjacent, in a single bound.)
