Jek Porkins

Elusiveness

Hull Upgrade

R5-D8

Proton Torpedoes

Biggs Darklighter

R7-T1

Hull Upgrade

Dutch Vander

R2 Astromech

Ion Cannon Turret

Just wanted a squad that would use the Pork -n- Biggs name.

I expect this squad to last as long as the Porkins character did in the movie assault on the Deathstar.

hehe.

I'd probably not do Elusiveness on Porkins, its cute, but if it fails, it fails big. I'd try PTL. I'd also try to drop some other stuff and squish in a Bandit squad.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. If you take damage while you're taking damage, you're gonna have a bad time. Good attempt at using the mechanic though.

I do like the win big, lose big aspect of it though. Hot streaks with it will be super super aggravating for your opponent! But cold streaks, man, they gonna suck and suck big.

R7-T1 is probably going to get Biggs killed quicker. Since you are using Dutch I would give Biggs a normal R7.

How about

Biggs with R7

Porkins with R5-D8 and elusiveness

Dutch with Ion Turret, R2-D6 and Draw their Fire.

Then you have points left for either a Bandit.

Though R5-D8 and Porkins are much harder to use without PtL, but I kinda like elusiveness for him.

Try it you never know your luck sometimes lists you never thought could work can surprise you. They can also be the most fun

I've used PtL on Porkins to good effect. You can either TL and Focus, or use the second action to let R5-D8 try to repair a damage. A Hull Upgrade helps as well, if you have the points.

I may be mistaken, but I think technically this shouldn't work. I thought PTL's second action had to be from your action bar, which would mean that you couldn't use the droid second.

You can't ever do it immediately anyway, because the stress comes AFTER you perform the second action. So, you perform and action, perform a second action, receive a stress, activate Porkins. But, R5-D8 CAN be the first of your two actions next turn, and I think that's what he means. Then, you can still get a Focus or Target Lock after repairing the damage, and choose to remove the stress again if you want.

Biggs Cracken (The pun writes itself)

Biggs with R2-F2 and stealth + Cracken = 5 dice dodge biggs (6 at range 3)

with the 50 points left can take Han or some amount of the other wing ships.
