I ran
Dash + Pred, Lando, EI, Mangler, title 54
Corran + R2D2, Adv, PTL 45
Mangler Dash plays very differently to HLC Dash. You have far more freedom to arc dodge and just do crazy stuff. Lando was there for fun shenanigans.
G1: Kath + Recon + Engine + PTL IG-88 B, Mangler, Adv, Proximity Mine, Autothrusters
Kath deploys a little too far from the Aggressor, so I went all in on Kath and was rolling hot on both evades and dice- at one point Dash evaded a string of 4 with 2 Lando evade tokens and 2 naturals. Kath went down in 3 turns, then 2v1 and out PS'd IG88 for the win.
G2: IG-88 B and C with HLC, VI, Adv, Autothrusters
Gunner HLCs are terrifying. Went second and lured him into the asteroid field to play position with Corran's adv sensors. Fancy arc dodging later B is down to 1hp, D on 7; Corran's on 4 and Dash is on 9.
During the shooting phase, I K-turn Corran through an asteroid to get the +1 evade dice against the HLC. Takes 1 damage. He rolls all blanks, then triggers gunner; he then gets a natural 4, and of course I roll 4 blanks and Corran gets 1 shotted even with an evade.
C nudges the asteroid coming in but I wave it off- he then lands another natural 4 on Dash. In two shots I've gone from a certain win to a certain loss- Dash gets out PS'd and tries to run, but gets gunned down. He can't do much damage with 3 dice against evade/autothrusters while running; should have chased instead.
G3: Whisper VI FCS ACD, Soontir PTL Stealth Autothrusters, Doomshuttle
I deploy in the corner facing the left and he sets up to joust. I draw him into a gap between two asteroids and manage to block Soontir as he tries to clear the gap, one-shotting him with Dash. Whisper didn't want to risk de-cloak into Soontir so runs away. Shuttle overshoots a little. I spend the rest of the game whittling Whisper down slowly (it's actually easier to kill a cloaked whisper than an autothruster ship with evade and three dice.)
Exciting games in all. Game 2 is the biggest swing I've had in a game.
