Yes, with Miranda and Jan in the same faction, we could see 6 dice homing missiles and 7 dice APT's.

Consider this list:

Pretty cool, but you are better off giving Jan Ors Squad Leader and Nien Num. This way Jan can let Miranda Doni get a Focus to use with that TL.

I'd like to see a turtles Soontir try to dodge that one (since he can't use the Evade token).

Nice. I would go a little "tankier" myself. I'd drop the ABT and EM from Miranda, and give her DTF. Then I'd slap R5-P9 on The 'Stache. Sure, you only get one shot with the HMs, but damage output isn't a problem with these ladies. In fact, I might even drop them all together to give Biggs a Shield Upgrade. But this is your list, and it's a nice combo. Don't pay me no nevermind.

I was more or less trying to be as ridiculous as I could on offence... and then I looked at the list and went: "Whoa"

This much offence has potential against a lot of the 'meta' lists.

Oh dicks, miranda isn't just on primary attacks... That's terrifying.

Yeah, rebel synergy is in a place to really deal the hurt these days.

Lol, I saw that on day one... I've never been much of a rebel player, but this gives me incentive to take a peek at the possibilities.

That's pretty nasty.

You could drop Biggs down to Cracken to give Miranda a focus action. That leaves 6 points to give Jan Moldy Crow and Recon Spec. All would be PS 8 too.

All of this was already possible via Opportunist and Jan. I came in here to post about how you could add Opportunist to get an additional die, but then I realized she doesn't have an EPT. Where's the outrage?? Everyone complains about the Y wings not having any EPTs, why no outrage about the K wings?

Probably because most people realize there is no room for an EPT.

Every one of her torpedoes has "fixed" sharpied on theside. :-)

I'd probably want to drop Jan for Kyle Katarn. By switching from a TLed 6-dice attack to a focused/TLed 5-dice attack, the average damage of your Homing Missile drops from 4.5 to 4.35 , and your AB turret goes from an average of 3 damage per attack to 2.65. However, it also frees up a whopping 4 points, which is enough to buy a Moldy Crow title and/or RecSpec, or a Proximity Mine with Advanced SLAM.

Yes, but Opportunist has a trigger that will not help you with hard to hit targets (like Fel) and comes at a steep cost (4pts and Stress on use)

Miranda does her thing on her own choice, works well against high AGI/multi-action targets, and doesn't restrict movement next turn.

You could make similar claims about Miranda as well. She has a trigger (needs to have a shield available), comes at a steep cost (29 pts for a 2 attack ship, plus at least 5 points for a HM, and costs ~13% of her health). *shrug. Just saying it's nothing particularly new, and it wasn't earth shattering before, so I doubt it will be here. I do like the ABT with 4 dice though!

just a public service announcement reminder: Miranda doesn't have EPT, so you don't put DTF on her. (though I may have misread that as Jan).

And Squad Leader only allows you to pass to ships with lower PS than you, so Jan (8) cannot pass to Miranda (9).

Miranda is PS 8.

seconding what Blail said (even if miranda is 8, SL specifies lower PS)

the list could be okay, but I'm always offput by rebel synergy because it tends to load everything on very few pilots. In this case, only miranda's really terrifying and then she's still arc-locked.

I'm thinking Aslam might be a way to abuse superior maneuverability to set up for a devastating Homing Missile (K-wing dial pending) on the turn after, and 5 dice is plenty terrifying as is, imo.

But if I were to run it, I'd try hard to get Biggs R4-D6. It's the difference between brobots murdering you in one round or two.

I would try to go R2D2 on Miranda instead of 3PO if you are spending shields you probably want a way to get them back

This list. This is the counter to all the top meta builds at the moment.

One other thing to point out... Miranda can use her 2 attack turret, plus her ability, plus Jan, plus R1, to give her a 5 dice out of arc attack, without requiring any actions. And getting into R1 can be easy via SLAM!

Can't attack after using the SLAM action... But yes, the primary turret for Miranda could be 5 dice at R1 with Jan.

Yep, though it'd probably be better for her to spend the two points for the AB turret. The regular 5-dice attack will be better against low-AG targets, who you'd want to be able to force crits onto, but a 4-dice attack that can't be evaded is invaluable against arc-dodgers.

Is this THE MythList? Oh my, it's full of stars...

Yeah. AB might not be useful if Miranda can just get into R1.

Although the problem with this is that you have the very easy chance of just dying fast due to how many shields you blow through. A red dice has less than 1.00 chance of a hit. You spend 1 hit on yourself to get it.

R2-D2 Crew or Chewbacca would help for damage mitigation. Also, you have to remember that Miranda can roll less dice to gain shields back. With Jan Ors you can essentially get a wash in attack dice and get a shield back.
