only fun on the first attack but could take out a big ship even better when Rebel Aces comes out

what do you think of my little trick

It looks amazing but against a high pilot skill player, or a player flying biggs, you are going to run into allot of problems

I know the real trick to this list is to keep Roark alive as long as possible and hope the A wing can doge

I'd be wary about putting all your eggs in one basket in epic play - sourcing all your pilot skill from one guy (okay, you've got Riekan on tap but he's one use). More an issue for the proton rocket squad, as you'll be the one potentially sucking up a 300 point alpha strike at range 2-3; expect to lose one or more fighters before you engage - just make **** sure Roark's not one of them!

Should be good though; a high pilot skill alpha strike is devastating in larger games.

Biggs isn't too much of a problem as he can't shield a big ship - his ability only works with normal and large ships, not huge ships, so just shoot straight past him at the corvette - or, if you're up against small ships, allocate as many concussion missiles as you need to ensure a bit of overkill - 3-4 is surely enough - then return to normal targeting.

A bigger nightmare (at least for the concussions missile squad) is Captain Kagi. I think the Emperor's Chauffeur is going to be very nasty as a missile decoy in epic play....

A fun trick for Epic
