I love em

Airen Cracken plus Squad Leader is going to make one hell of a Rebel support ship.

That alongside being able to fill out lists is enough to make me think it's a worthwhile addition to the Rebels.

I think that Z-95 Headhunters are good, but are especially good when you run multiples of them for a Rebel swarm effect.

Cracken is awesome - and so **** cheap for what he can do.

I find myself wondering about a 'clone wars veterans' list - Y wings and Z-95s - to show the new kids in their shiny toys what 'proper' fighters can do (commence grumbling...)

I can't wait to run 4 Talas and 4 Bandits! Woot!

LOVE...

:wub:

Not a Z-95, but you get the idea.

Yeah man, and that list would/could have any YT-1300 and some ETA-2's and Delta-7's too... it would be sooo Cannon it just makes me smile.

This is a scary list:

Etahn Abaht PtL-AdvS-R2

5x Bandits

or this if you want Talas:

Etahn Abaht R5-P9

5x Talas

Every time I use them, I'm just delighted by their performance. They're slightly less powerful than an X-wing but at almost half the cost!

My take on TalaDagger Knights:

27: Dagger w/ Adv Sensors

27: Dagger w/ Adv Sensors

13: Tala

13: Tala

20: Cracken w/ VI

I picked up my 3rd Z today for that list specifically. Cracken creates a focus/TLed B-wing on the opening turns and hopes to have them barrel roll out of arcs in the kurfufle. VI because initiative isn't incredibly important in this list and because it nearly guarantees he'll get one last shot before his inevitable demise.

XXXZZZ is a fun list to fly, as is Etahn w/ 4xloaded up Bandits

Yes I like too much, good cheap ship, I really want to complete the 8 swarm of this, greettings.

Blount i think is the best IPM for the big ships AM goodbye Tie swams hope i dont see you agian and would you ever waist your time with Stealth Device agian?

You shouldn't worry about your stealth device. Most ships that take them are ones that can easily stay behind the clunky Z95. Other than that, his ability is a one-off. He is good, but he is not game-changing. Blount brings one strong attack, either an ion or assault missile. Cracken brings several rounds of support, and he tends to last awhile because people aren't afraid of him off he's next to X-wings or B-wings

Blount's all like; "I See You!" BLAM!

I'm curious how the Z will fare after Rebel Aces. Do you go for the cheaper, higher PS, lower agility Z, or the superior blocking, superior defending, last-attacking Prototype Pilot for three points more?

I'm so confused.

I think it will depend on what you want.

The Z will still make better filler then the A-Wing will. It's still cheaper then the Prototype, one better PS but lacks boost and evade as options. Which IMO for filler those missing actions aren't a deal breaker.

But if you want a cheep flanker, I think the A-Wing is better.

I'm looking forward to my first game using the Rebel wave 4 ships next week. I'm planning on running a swarm of headhunters with Etahn to up their damage potential against the Imperials.

In 2 out of 3 games I've used Airen Cracken he's saved the day by giving a B-wing a barrel roll which gave it a range 1 shot rather than no shot. One was against a bomber I was in base contact with, another I had a TL + F on a Phantom that danced out of arc, and the barrel gave me the game winning kill. He's helped in a dozen other situations as well, so for 19 points I'll likely use him often.

I've also used a 3 Bandit formation, and that's been very effective as well. It's a good little ship for the price.

Yeah it is a great little ship.
