Very good article centered around building a solid Rebel list.

What Rebel lists have you played with recently?

Ughh the article was kinda bad. The Rebel list needed a lot of help. I lol'ed at the diagram. That Rebel trooper is dead. Officer moves Vader... anyone else feel like they tried to say Rebels were able to move better, then directly undermined their argument with the officer sitting there?

Maybe I should write about Rebels again. =/

What a disappointment, waiting so long for news on IA (reveal the new ally or villian cards or the new hero in twin shadows!!)... instead we get 'try out this team set up in skirmish!'

The skirmish game needs some attention though. It's a great way to play the game and thinking about and creating lists and strategies is fun. I recently ran Han, Chewie, and Luke together and they were almost untouchable with all of their defense abilities stacked!

I too am looking forward to learning more about the next expansion though.

Should've been an article about how the new units do in Skirmish. Heck, I'd even take an article that says "this is how useful C3po is in skirmish".

going back to the list, i haven't really played skirmish, but the list suggests getting 2 ally packs of the saboteurs. is it worth getting more than 1 copy of the "generic" units?

Smash and grab is a good tactic for Skirmish. Lots of generics backed up by a big Elite hero is generally the way to go.

Yes it is worth it.

Im glad to see skirmish get some attention. We don't need anymore previews. We already have the next two waves announced. Don't expect to see more details this far from release.

The thought the article was bad at first too. It does a few things gets people aware of skirmish play and how to play the rebels. This is a great build learning how to play the Elite Sab. I am a fan of the command deck but it really helps han out a lot. I don think the build is good but the ideas that it gives and the building blocks it creates are great. When starting out you want something easy to play and something you can understand fast. I think this is one of the few rebel builds that is pretty straight forward. It doesnt have a lot of tricks comared to other builds but thats not the point of the builds its to get people aware of skirmish play and what they can do with the packs so far.

The Command deck also stayed within the three packs and the core.
