I'd like to get everyone's thoughts, pros, cons to this squad....

Chewie

Vet Instincts

C-3PO

R2-D2

Mill Falcon Title

Airen Cracken

Draw thier Fire

Biggs

Stealth Device

Pros: Chewie is really durable and some cool synergy between the three (I am assuming the strategy is keeping Chewie alive as long as possible).

Cons: I think you will find that Biggs and Cracken are too squishy and once they are gone you've got a long uphill battle because your offense is down to three attack dice. You might consider other tougher partners with Chewie like another YT1300, 2400, Bwings, maybe Ywings with titles, or even 3 awings.

Why have VI and R2 on Chewie?

Why have VI and R2 on Chewie?

I think R2 adds to his strategy of keeping Chewie alive as long as possible. VI is a good buy if you only have 1 point left but I agree that Predator is a great EPT.

Ya...main thought was keeping Chewie alive as long as possible, and VI was just for the 1 3xtra point and getting Chewie to shoot a lil sooner. I played a Han/Corran list yesterday in a casual game that worked ok, but I was afraid it didnt have enough firepower against a swarm to take them down fast enough. So I thought with 2 ships instead of 1, Id get a lil more bang for my buck, and if the match went to time, odds would be Chewie would still have a hp or 2.

Not using a dark gray font color on a black background!

Seriously - I would drop the Stealth Decice on Biggs to get 3 more points. Use them to upgrade R2 to a Gunner and VI to either Predator or PTL. Those will help with the offense. Other option is drop VI or DTF as well and put an Engine Upgrade on Chewy.

I have seen an effective Fat Chewy with Biggs and Airen Cracken. I think Chewy was configured with Luke, 3CPO, MF Title, and PTL. Luke could be dropped to Gunner, and PTL to Lone Wolf to free up 3 points to be used as desired - mayby putting that Stealth Device back on Biggs.

Another defensive build would put C3PO and Jan Ors crew with PTL and the MF Title on Chewy, When Biggs is alive, Jan Ors allows you to turn his Focus to an Evade. Once Biggs is dead, you do the same thing on Chewy. Take Focus and Evade for your actions and turn the focus token into a 2nd evade. Plus the 1-guaranteed with C3PO - that is a tough Falcon to destroy!

The only downs side to lando and EI is the stress that is taken which causes Chewy to be pretty predictable in movement. However the couple times I have played this he is usually the last ship to go down. A few times I was able to clean doge a few 4 hit rolls.

You could add a tactical Jammer instead of VI on Chewie. If Biggs is behind Chewie, he gets one more die. If you can manage to split the enemies fire between Biggs and Chewie, you might get some range one shots off of Chewie, while the opponent has to take the obstructed shot on Biggs.

Ya Spike, I dunno what happened on that first post, but it was late, I was tired, and couldnt focus on how to change it. ;-)

Thanks for the input everyone. I will let you know how I decide to go, and how the tourney goes. (American Cancer Society Benefit Tourney in South Bend, In.) WWW.X-WING.ORG theres the shameless plug. Hehe
