chewie squad options - need critique and/or suggested chewie squad

Give tarn an r7 if you have an e-wing

Tarn with r7 is really hard to kill,

For Chewie and PTL I prefer Nien Numb as second pilot. I cannot remember the number of times, the the forward 4 green move clearing my stress everytime AND getting my PTL again is priceless. Without Nien you are gonna get block a lot time and end up with no action. IMO the best set-up if you want to run 2 Blue with Chewie (and I have tried all sort of set-up with Chewie) is that one:

- Chewie + PTL + Nien + 3PO + Falcon

- 2x Blue with Adv (they are just significantly better than FCS)

how about...

- Chewie + PTL + Nien + 3PO + Falcon

- Blue with Adv

- Biggs

Chewe with Gunner Recon & VI

2 X Blue with FCS

Good against Interceptors and Bounty Hunter

That could be interesting, but I have also tested with 2 Bandit Z95 instead and it is interesting too. More targets for your opponent seems to be even better. This week when my 4 Z95 arrive I am going to try it with 2 Tala and 2 Bandit. I am sure a mini swarm with Chewie might be pretty good and there is some good chance that I am gonna bring it to the regional either that or the Blue + Adv + 2x Bandit I need to test these 2 builds extensively to see which one is better.

I've so far had good success with:-

Chewie w/ Pred + Luke + C3PO + EU + *Falcon T(60)

3 x Bandits w/ 1 x HU (39)

or

Chewie w/ Pred + Luke + C3PO + EU (59)

1 x Proto A-wing and 2 x Bandits (41)

Somehow swapping out an X and a B for 3 Bandits didn't hinder the effectiveness of the squad. That 1 extra ship seems to help even if they only have 2 attack each. Of course Super Chewie is the obvious target here but Engine Upgrade is a god-sent on a YT and has been the constant cause of frustration for my opponents so much so that sometimes they just go for the Zs first. The Z-95s are there to distract, harass and just plain being a nuisance while Chewie does the heavy lifting and at r1 they can even cause some serious pain if left unmolested.
