Freighter Formation (Wave 5 Large Game Squadron

The Idea is you have the falcon flanked by two yt-2400's, and a Hwk trailing behind.

Falcon:

  • Pilots: Han or Chewie (maybe Lando if you want extra actions in formation flying, but then you lose the land crew card)
  • Lando Cew Card: action, roll two evade dice and get the results as tokens
  • C-3PO: Guess 0 evade when you roll one dice, and profit!
  • Faclon Title: Get the evade action on your action bar
  • Engine Upgrade: Get the Boost action on your action bar

Preform Lando's ability to gain (hopefully) 2 evades or focuses, and have Kyle crew from the Hwk change excess focuses to evades. You could potentially have 3 evades this way, if you push the limit that is. Combine with C-3PO, and you block the first 4 damage each and every turn!

Hwk-290:

  • Jan Ors, take a stress to give +1 attack to another friendly, means she can hang back a bit at range 2-3 from the freighters and still support them
  • Kyle Crew Card: can change friendlies focus's into evades at range 1-3 once per round. Pair it with lando to take some random out of the equation
  • Ion Turret: If you have the points, it allows for a bit of control action
  • Some Defensive EPT to increase livability to continue buffing the freighters.

Dual YT-2400 freighters

  • Dunno on the pilots yet
  • As of now, PtL for barrel rolls, boosts, and evade actions
  • Engine Upgrade
  • Gunner? Not sure what to have on crew
  • Heavy laser cannon: for jousting

So, what to you think? Keep them at range 1-2 from each other, and face on direction. Hopefully can shrug off a few turbolaser shots from the future imperial large ships.

I don't know how many points this would be, but i thought a squadron like this would be fun and impressive to field!

Don't really see this being possible with 100 points, but could definitely make a hardy foundation for a epic list. Can probably fit an outer rim smuggler and two wild spacers, or vice versa, but unlikely to be able to fit any named pilots.

Nice and beefy innit?

Whew!
