Great videos Michiel.

I actually have been using Jake with almost the same load out. I swap Veteran Instincts for Outmaneuver (as you suggested at the end of the video) for a 28pt Jake. You can usually make use of his ability to get him out of his targets arc for more than half of the shots he makes in a game and reducing your targets agility by 1 is a real boost to the A-Wings rather paltry two attack dice.

Yes! This combo is purely to sic'em on Soontir or another of the Imperial's finest.. But Outmaneuver (or predator) is always a good decision for the A-wing these days.

Thank you for the compliment.

Another great video. I haven't run Jake yet but that's exactly how I want to run him. He's soontir esque. The thing holding me back is right now its tough to spend more than 18 points on a 2 attack ship.

Ah yes, I understand. The thing is.. you should not fly you're A-wing without healthy 3 dice support and you should not fly your A-wing like a normal 3 dice ship. It should nibble at the enemy, fly in - flank, block and just nibble. Tiny bites.

Jake Farrell shines at this task. Fly smart and the enemy will have to bring his top pilots to take him out.

But I agree, it's tough to convince yourself to bring a 26 point 2 attack boat. I'm not sure this will every see comp. play like this. Perhaps with outmaneuver, but that makes him even more expensive.

A naked Jake with Chardaan is pretty good too, so perhaps try that first.

Agree with that. The same principle applies to airen cracken who I have no problem spending 20 + points on.

I've left ptl off Jake sometimes and it's worked well. Ptl is so omnipresent with interceptors and a-wings that their movement becomes predictable as they chase the green. Jake gets 3 actions and 2 focus without stress if you've got Kyle or Garven on the board. He can afford to be unpredictable in movement.

I can see that work, yeah. Although I do believe Jake is a healthy exception to the 'predictable' PtL A-wing, due to the fact that he has a barrel roll to work with now. You could take a focus, proc for a barrel roll and PtL into a boost. Which is hilarious. Next round, do it again.

Quite true. I enjoy taking the focus, proc for boost. Then opponent bumps, loses action,and before combat Kyle feeds focus and proc for barrel.

I hadn't looked at it like that yet, I should definitely try to do that too.

Have really enjoyed these videos. Keep them up.

Let it focus!
