Hi all,
I got into the game with a fairly large set of purchases (not knowing what I would be getting/needing) with some store credit. I ordered a Rebel Aces online but it hasn't arrived yet. I split pretty evenly between Rebels and Imperials, but found I like the large rebel ships most, so I am trying to make Dash work without access to Kyle Katarn.
Dash Rendar (36) + Veteran Instincts (1) + Lando Calrissian (3) + Heavy Laser Cannon (7) + Outrider (5) + Experimental Interface (3) = 55
Blue Squadron Pilot (22) + Fire-Control System (2) = 24
Rookie Pilot (21)
Total 100
I have found Dash to be the most forgiving for learning to fly (relative to Han), with his pilot ability to save him from crashes. Lando + EI is my ghetto version of Kyle + PTL, to give him at least the potential for 3 "actions" per turn. I originally tried him with pilots like Corran or Wedge but found one ship had a hard time covering Dash's "no-fire" ring, so I'm planning to try something like this, with the X-Wing and B-Wing lagging behind to cover Dash with their cones of fire.
As for availability, I have a lot of stuff but not everything - Y-Wing, A-Wing, E-Wing, X-Wing, Falcon, Moldy Crow, K-Wing, OG Starter, half of the TFA starter, plus a bunch of cards from various Imperial packs. I've got Rebel Aces on the way but won't have it for a few weeks (after my next local tourney).
Any suggestions for how to improve the list and what I should be watching out for?
