Am I missing something or is there a reason this squad doesn't work well? Not sure on the EPTs. Could certainly change those up but seems like a strong squad that I don't remember seeing or hearing about very often.

because no one will play you unless they have to

and if they have to, the combination of LW plus DTF restriction will make the ensuing dice fest at least an easy one to win

Draw Their Fire and Lone Wolf are totally un-synergistic. How about Calculation on Chewie instead?

With two large-base ships, LW will be hard to pull off, and with only 1 Ag, it seems wasted.

Without Engine Upgrade, Turrets are easy to pin down, block, and tear apart.

Honestly just changing the EPT on Han should leave you with a solid squad.

  • Adrenaline Rush gives you a 1-time stress-free K-turn. Not that exciting.
  • Calculation is a mini-Marksmanship, but you're usually going to be taking the Falcon's Evade action.
  • Crackshot is practically a 1-time free hit, but only in arc. Worth considering, as you could REALLY **** up an Autothruster's day.
  • Determination is somewhat redundant with Chewie's DtF, but protecting Han's PS and pilot ability is nice.
  • Draw their Fire on both is actually interesting as it can really force an opponent to spread their damage around when they don't want to.
  • Veteran Instincts makes sure you shoot before any Phantoms that are still lurking around.
  • Decoy can flip-flop Han and Chewie's PS, but is pretty situational without other tricks.
  • Elusiveness is often ignored, but can be very annoying when layered with other defensive measures (like 3PO and the Falcon).
  • Expert Handling could make a good alternative to Engine Upgrade (or, if you don't mind filling the other Crew slot, "Leebo").
  • Swarm Tactics gives you TWO turrets shooting at PS9. Not bad.

There are a lot of options!
