First of all, how the heck do you pronounce Etahn's name?

But my real question is this... Etahn changes a hit to a crit if he has firing solution. And Ten Numb can't have one of his crits can't be cancelled. So, does that mean thwt Etahn's crit can't be cancelled when Ten shoots? I think I am doing this right, and this is awesome!!!

Am I right?

it can be cancelled by an evade token, but other than that it seems a sound tactic.

I have been wanting to try: Ten, Etahn, Biggs, and a bandit myself.

Here's the list I ran last night. It worked great if I could keep myself off the asteroids!

Etahn A'baht (32)

Fire-Control System (2)

R5-D8 (3)

Ten Numb (31)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Total: 99

Any tweaks you can see? I might take this to the next tournament at my LGS.

Yep, if Ten rolls a couple of hits, and Etahn is in the right position, you can convert one hit to a crit that can't be cancelled by dice. I normally slide it to one side. It forces the defender to use an evade token if he's got one, or suffer some hurt. I'm flying Etahn with the same upgrades in a tourney this weekend. It'll be interesting to see how he goes. I've teamed him up with 3 Rookies.

As for pronunciation, try E-tarn where the ah is like a long A. Seems to work better than Eating a Boat.

I always picture my asteroid-beached ships suddenly flipping over and waving their extremities slowly in the air like poor, defenseless turtles.

Drop R5-D8, and use the 4 spare points for a couple of small upgrades. Predator, VI, or Adrenaline Rush would be nice on Ten, and Etahn would probably like Predator or possibly an R7 Astromech.

Marksmanship will give Ten Numb another crit making him pretty nasty vs tie fighters. My regular play partner loves Ten Numb so I have seen him quite a bit like this.

Ten's ability only applies to one critical result, so he doesn't care any more than any other ship about the second, third, etc. crit.

The list I am currently running whenever I play the Rebel scum is:

-Etahn, Roark+ion turret and 3x Z-95.

This leaves 8 pts for upgrades.

A (mini) swarm cringes at the thought of several Bandits firing and dealing crits.

Ion+PS12 is a serious threat to Phantoms/high PS squints.

Tried and liked:

*R2 & PTL on Etahn, Chewie on Roark. (who gets a lot of hate oddly enough )

*R2 & Predator on Etahn, 3 x Z95 upgraded to Tala's.

More testing (playing/enjoying) to come. Esp. the combo tactician/ion seems too good to not try.

My local group has just resorted to calling him Ethan.

pronounce his name like a Yorkshire man would say "He Turns about".

et-HAN AH-baat is how I prounounce it, but I may be wrong

I like the Etahn/Ten squad a lot, but fear that it doesn't have the staying power to beat back things like a tie swarm or HSF

eh - tawn a - bet

I have been wanting to try:

Ten Nunb + Predator

Ethan + Predator

Ibitsam + Predator

Three ships but 21 hp and very accurate with lots of crits. Could work in a friendly.

Kind of like e-tarn but not quite. It's an "ah" rather than an "ar". Maybe E-tah-n.

My list for my favorite Pilots is:

Ten + Av.sensors

Wes + R2D2

Etahn +VI.

I called "TenWeEtahn" and the perfect combination for Ten Numb to strike a crit.hit each time he shoots.

I have been wanting to try:

Ten Nunb + Predator

Ethan + Predator

Ibitsam + Predator

I would change Predator on Ibi for PTL. He can't live without it. He is addicted

But if you have an evade then two crits will still make one stick.

I've been meaning to try this build:

Etahn + Opportunist

Ten Nunb + Opportunist

Wes Jansen

Always shoot with Wes first to strip tokens away, then let the Etahn/Ten combo go to work.

Ten Nunb + Predator

Ethan + Predator

Lol look at the Bwing Dial, you dont need to PTL to stress yourself. And Predator is so much better than PTL.

Eat-on ob-ot, and yea, I think that would work

Only possible exception is you want to go crazy with opportunist on her. Rolling 6 attack die on advanced proton torpedoes or 7 if you have Jan along for the party is all kinds of fun. Nuked a Han off the board in one turn with that setup once. Obviously wasn't only her shooting, but still hilarious.

To continue to go way off the original topic, I haven't tried it but like the idea of Predator on Ibtisam because it means when she does get stressed(K-turn or a 1 turn) she's rerolling at least 2 attack dice. So on turns where it's not to your benefit to stress yourself(say you want to be able to K-turn next turn, you're threatened by Ion, whatever), you're still getting some offensive boost, and then when you do get stressed, you're that much more dangerous. Something like

Ibtisam

- Predator

- Advanced Sensors

Focus, K-turn, and you're practically Focus+Target Locked after performing a red, plus the defense die reroll.
