Setup

I set my Zs in one corner and zuckuss in between the middle and the other corner. Plaob was between the Zs and Zuckuss. He set his T-70s across from my Zs and the hog across from the hwk.

Turn 1

His Y and Xs and my hwk slow rolled. My zs flew a bit faster. Zuckuss used Av. Sen to BR and 2 turn to position.

Turn 2

Hwk and Y still slow rolled. Zuckuss did the same thing as last turn. While the Zs ans Xs dashed at eachother. In range to shoot now ello and poe managed to only strip a sheild off of a z (ello had COLD dice all game). The hog stressed and stripped two sheild off Zuckuss.

Turn 3

Poe k turned behind my Zs while ello flew to engage the hwk and zuckuss. The y still creeped but a little faster. Poe got off a shot at the Zs only to miss and ello took a sheild of zuckuss. Zuckuss tractor beamed poe and pulled him in fron to one of my Zs. One Z feedbacked while the other pushed a 3 die focus target lock attack through. Poe was now down to 1 hull. Zuckuss got more stress from the hog and the hwk got some damage through on the Y.

Turn 4

The unfeedbacked Z rushed ahead to attempt a block on poe (who was likely to pull a green for regen). Zuckuss cut across behind them. Between them the pincered poe. Ello k turned bekind the hwk (in range 1 so no tlt for me) the hog turned in and was in r1 of mu Zs. Poe had no shot and ello flopped. Zuckuss used his ability to roll 5 dice to poe's 3. 3 hits and 1 crit. Poe rolled 2 evades. Poe was dead already. The hog stressed a Z and took some heavy damage.

The turn after the 6 weny down as well as one of my zs. It was then a matter of chasing down ello (who shot down zuckuss eventually)

Conclusion

Zuckuss plus Dengar crew is an absolute BEAST! Add the sensors and he becomes an ace killing machine. Palob didn't get much use out of gonk because he only lost a sheild due to a rock and was almost never shot at. I like the way the list runs and it could be a viable list wheb wave 8 releases. It's main weakness would be against super high mobility arc dodgers (tlt and palob helps with that) and possibly swarms due to the lack of green dice.

As always guys stay frosty
