hello all.

I'm more of a S&V player but have recently appropriated my brother's Rebel collection while he was on vacation and am looking to try out a list that's new to me and was hoping for a critique. So far I have only tried this via Squadron Builder but it's working out really nicely. Due to the conflict between Dutch's ability and Lone Wolf I realize that it's unlikely to get the benefit from both frequently but in tests against horrible AI, the either/or is actually working out nicely - however, is there anything else that you guys see wrong with this or would suggest changing?

Jake Farrell [A-Wing Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Predator, Autothrusters, Push the Limit] (30)
Poe Dameron (PS8 Version) [R5-P9, Veteran Instincts, Autothrusters] (37)
“Dutch” Vander [R2-D6, Twin Laser Turret, Lone Wolf] (32)

Thanks in advance,

while I can appreciate predator on Jake... I find its too costly for what it provides Jake. For a fighter like Ello or Poe for example it makes more sense. I prefer VI/PTL, Juke/PTL, or Outmaneuver/PTL.

Jake can be built so many different ways it makes him real fun. My favorite way to build him is: PTL/VI/Stealth. The extra green die is a bit of a gamble, but with Jake the idea is to get in close and annoy the crap out of your opponent while the rest of the cast does the damage. In this case, Poe. So get in, annoy and distract while Poe comes in and cleans up. Dutch sits at range 3 pelting from a distance.

Thats how I would fly it anyways.

I don't mind Vander in this situation either. You hand off the TL to Jake or Poe and then they go in full speed while Vander sits by. When Poe/Jake disengage to regroup they get the TL's back from Vander. It's a neat idea. I'd try it.

That's pretty much what I'm doing. Jake 'mosquitoes' around, Poe gives the hard slap and Dutch sits lobbing stones from a distance. They don't always get the TL boost but it's often enough to make it useful, particularly as they then zip around with it in their back pocket for later.

Thanks for the advice. i will take a look again at Jake. I put Predator on there to give his sting a little more oomph but will think on. Thanks again.

Why would you put Lone Wolf on Dutch? His ability only works on range 1-2.

If you have a better suggestion, please share, I'm all ears (and fur)

Predator perhaps? Or just a targeting astromech, works well with the Y's sh*tty dial
