Have you played any games with it? I really like the idea of protecting and distracting to the point that anyone in the block is impossible to hit.

It's a very strong list, when your opponent comes at you. It'll be extremely difficult for your opponent to take down your guys. However, you'll have a hard time gaining objectives and retaining your defensive bonuses. You'll also be low on figures (only 6 on the board is a bit low), which will make objectives and doors more of a hassle. But the durability of this thing in "tank mode" is pretty awesome. Beware of someone using Element of Surprise to one-shot 3P0 though...once he falls, the squad will lose a lot of its defensive durability.

I watched his first game and the only reason it ended in a loss was because of the objectives. It is a very strong defensive list.

Yes tried 2 close games, that I just lost narrowly, have made 1 change in command deck, used to have Devotion in, but decided that Emergency aid is better, with 2 leaders and a Guardian, gives lots of opportunities for regaining health, and the 3 heavy hitters being focused most of the time, almost guarantees them killing somerthing everytime the shot at it, other than big tanks.

So will try it a bit more and see how it goes.

Had Chewie and 3PO as a pair and Jyn and Han as the other, with R2 going for a terminal if possible.
