Luke's Fist just doesn't have the same ring to it.

By R5D8, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Luke Skywalker

Leia Organa

C-3PO

Elite Rebel Trooper

Elite Rebel Trooper

Rebel High Command

5 activations, but if you spend the first turn focusing Luke and all of the Troopers, it's got a mighty big first strike.

What do people think of this list? I would probably try to roll them all together if I could, keeping 3PO close to the lead troopers or even Luke if possible. Leave 3PO and a trooper behind to secure a terminal and you're drawing three command cards a round, which ain't too shabby.

HKs take it apart from range if you're not careful, but Vader may actually not want to poke his head out against the initial engagement with this list capable of firing nine 3 die attacks.

Thoughts?

Your list only adds up to 36.

You forgot Gideon and On a Diplomatic Mission.

Edit: Oops, I was thinking sabs, not troopers.

I like where you are going with this, and the initial volley should be devastating. I fear that it will lack the firepower to keep pressure on the opponent. Still, definitely worth trying. Might want to also try it win Elite Hoth Troopers, that would also free up 2 more points for other additions.

10 for Luke

8 for Leia

2 for 3PO

9 for Elite Troopers

9 for Elite Troopers

2 for High Command

Unfortunately it's 40. I would love to add Gideon and Diplomatic if I could. :)

Oh sorry, I was thinking Elite Saboteurs.

You think troopers are better than sabs here?

Elite troopers became lot worse with comming of HK robots and reroll defence ability, I would take 2 x echo trooper in their place, and have points for Gideon

played against the same thing but instead of Threepio and High Command he had Gideon and Diplomatic Mission, which I feel get's you more mileage for the same points.

I say call the list Luke's Cage

I assume you mean lowering the Elite Rebel Troopers down to regular Echo Base Troopers to free up the points. The reason I am liking the Elite Rebels in this case is the self-focusing ability. Gaining the three die attacks for all six figures is what this list is built around. Whether it is worth it or not remains to be seen, but it did phenomenally well against a bunch of wookiees last night. Well, maybe phenomenally well is an overstatement, I cleared his troops and lost all my troopers except one.

I'm attempting to burn through Command cards in order to set up a recurring Son of Skywalker and Reinforcements. Difficult to do, but that's the scenario in my head.

"Luke at That"

"Twinsies"

"Gideon and the Kids"

"Gideon babysits"

"There is another"

I say call the list Luke's Cage

Luke's Missing Fist.

"Gideon babysits"

Hahaha.

When is IA.armies going to update with Leia and cards?

Pretty sure the IA-Armies dev has been awol since October. You could try Jedi Wars? Doesn't have all the same features but the cards are up to date apart from the latest rules errata.

Yeah that's what I've turned to, I just don't like the interface, and I'm lazy so having to click on the card and watch it load just to read it and delete it is just too much to ask of me. I don't know how to arrange the Command cards by points either.

As far as I can tell this is the hell you and I are trapped in until the ia-armies guy comes back or someone takes over his noble work.

I would tend to agree, although I didn't get much use out of him before he got mobbed by Tuskens. Definitely looking forward to being able to use him more, since the low mobility of the Rebel Troopers is the biggest problem I have with that list.

"Twin Magic".

Something else to keep in mind- you cannot play reinforcements on the Echo Troopers.

Not on the Elites, but if you wanted Gideon you would have to take Regulars, who can be reinforced.
