Experience with Han and C3PO

By zhentil, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

So far i will admit i like the combo but dannnngggg its slow. Anyone else have experience with these two together.

Jyn, Chewie, C3P0, and Han all in the same 2x2 square is an incredibly tanky block to deal with.

Unfortunately it's slow, impractical, and costs 34 points...

But on the serious side, if you're ever defending a 2 square wide hallway with Jyn and Han up front and C3P0 in the back, it's a lot of fun and super strong. It's a hard to pull off combo, but really strong when it works.

Basically, think of C3P0 as Han's bodyguard. When you move Han forward, always make sure that 3P0 is only 3 spaces behind. Then he can catch up and give a Focus to Han again. Since Han's speed is only 4, it's not really all that much of a drop in speed. And when you need to, Gideon can move 3P0 2 extra spaces. I've been finding that Gideon and 3P0 make for an outstanding base of support for the Rebels...2 Focuses every round is kinda big. If you can focus both of your figs in an Elite Saboteur card, then those guys can really wreak havoc on clumped enemies.

I've been enjoying this as a squad base:

12 Han

7 Elite Sab

7 Elite Sab

3 Gideon

2 C3P0

...9 pts left.

or 16pts left if you drop one of the Saboteur groups.
