Roark boosts Han

By smccaughan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was looking at this: 98 pts

Roark Garnet: 19

Moldy Crow: 3

Jan Ors: 2

Ion Cannon Turret: 5

Shield Upgrade:4

Han Solo: 46

Push the Limit: 3

Assault Missiles: 5

Recon Specialist: 3

Kyle Katarn: 3

Millennium Falcon: 1

Engine Upgrade: 4

Basically you fly Roark behind Han as close as possible. First turn with Han use PTL and add a focus and an evade to the Falcon.

next turn fly Han with a green move removing Stress. This triggers Kyle assigning a Focus. Take a TL and then PTL for a Focus, this triggers recon specialist giving you two Focus tokens, which triggers Jan in which you can assign an evade token instead. Going into the attack phase Roark Makes Han PS 12 Giving him 2 focus a TL and an evade. He then fires his Assault missiles at range 3 spending the TL and the missiles. Next turn rinse and repeat as needed.

I can even see a scenario giving Han 2 evade tokens 2 Focus tokens and a TL going into Combat at PS 12.

Tell me what you think.

Roark's kind of overkill on Han, who starts at PS9 anyway. Is there that much advantage to Han over Chewie or Lando if you're buffing them to PS12 anyway? Chewie definitely has the strongest pilot ability.

I thought about Chewie except if Roark gets taken out I still have a high PS at 9 vs 5 for Chewie. I do love that he ignores Crits though. I am just thinking things through and trying to see what others think. I also thought about using two B-wings with the crew upgrade to put Kyle and the recon on them but I do not get the Rebel version of the Soontir Stack that way.

I will give it some thought just playing around with my cards and trying to see what I can come up with.

Thanks
