Dirty Doublespray

Boba Fett + VI, Autoblaster, ID, EU, 4-LOM (51 points)

Kath Scarlet + PTL, K4, ID, EU (49 points)

I wanted a couple of bulky ships (that were in the original trilogy, because that's the theme of the tournament) that could take down high agility ships like palp aces. I'm hoping that one doesn't get focus fired down too fast.

The thought behind this list is to have Boba chase and boost if needed after the aces and hopefully get 3 insta-hits on a sad sad soontir. And if he doesn't quite get in range 1, there is always 4-LOM to try and help. Kath will be green turning quite often, so she might be kind of predictable, but she can then boost to show everyone her butt that has TL and a focus (and an evade if she doesn't need to boost). Does anyone think this list has a chance? Any suggested improvements? I know Autoblaster is expensive, but what else would I add that replaces the joy from thinking about removing soontir in 1 turn?

Sounds like something that requires penicillin.

Why you use inferior K4 Droid over Dengar crew? Dengar doesn't care if your maneuvers are green, he'll let you re-roll attack dice anyway. Why do you need 4-LOM if you're bringing an Autoblaster Turret that can't be avoided, anyway? Also, if you want to boost with Boba Fett into Autoblaster range but still maintain full attack modifications, Glitterstim is your buddy and your friend, friend:

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)
Adaptability (0)
Autoblaster (5)
Glitterstim (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Kath Scarlet (Scum) (38)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Dengar (3)
Glitterstim (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Total: 98
Double PS9 with a 2pt bid. I know it's not PS10, but PS9 with a 2pt bid is mostly just as good these days, with the added benefit of being able to move your ships in any order (which can be a huge boon when you're in the thick of it). Boba Fett can move last against PS8 and most PS9 Imperial Aces and then activate Glitterstim to gobble them up with the autoblaster. Kath can take a focus action to be double modified each turn thanks to Dengar, or boost or evade then Glitterstim herself, etc.
I might not run the autoblaster, but if you really wanna put the fear into 'em with it, do it like this, imho.

I was thinking about Dengar on Kath, but the triple action was just too tempting. Although, freeing up my dial and not having to worry about stress is definitely good. I put 4-LOM on because with 1 point left why not. I do like that 98 point build though. Maybe I'll play a practice game with it today and try it out.

Markham's list pretty much nails it.

I'd just consider PS10 on Boba because of Poe. A PS10 with a 1-pt bid is enough and you really want to move after Poe while not worrying about Soontir.

That is true. I won't be playing against Poe though in this particular upcoming tournament. PS10 might be good anyway with the 1 point bid. People in my area tend to not bid much.
