Toying with a similar list.
Wedge with PTL and EU along with BB8. Three actions, no stress and a post maneuver boost.
Keyan with E-2 Hera, Stay on Target. Stress for his ability and able to perform red maneuvers when stressed.
Hobbie Klivian with Tageting Astromech. Red maneuver, get stress, get target lock, remove stress.
There's a couple of upgrades I can't remember but the squad comes in at 98-100 points depending on the options. My thoughts on building this squad is 3 ships with independence. Not relying on a support ship or an ability, that if lost, would cripple the squad and no need to protect a support vessel. Trying it out tomorrow.
I have some lists with Keyan and Wes that I like. Because Wes is stripping tokens and fires before Keyan, I like to have Opportunist on Keyan. Keyan can take a stress, increase his attack value by 1, and then burn the stress for focus on the attack. Then you can still either barrel roll for position or target lock to make those 4 or 5 attack dice hurt like hell.
I've always liked this list on paper:
34 Wes w/ DtF, R2D2, Integrated.
40 Keyan w/ Oppotunist, HLC.
26 Biggs w/ R4D6, Integrated.
0 Initiative.
You have 2 heavy hitters with biggs for protection. Wes strips tokens for Keyans 5 dice, double modified shots. Another version that's not as gimmicky:
34 Wedge w/ PtL, BB8, Integrated.
39 Keyan w/ PtL, HLC.
26 Biggs w/ R4D6, Integrated.
1 Initiative.
Both these lists look decent on paper, I just haven't had time to try them out.
Flew my list (see above) three times this afternoon. Went 3-0. First two games vs Ghost, Phantom and Tycho. Hobbie died kind of quickly due to poor flying on my part but he did lay some hurt on thd Ghost. Farlander with Hera, FCS and Stay on Target was a beast in all three games. Do any maneuver you want, get a TL through FCS but no actions ever again!
Third game was against a new player flying the Inquisitor, Omega Ace and 3 Epsilon pilots. A learning experience for both of us. He had some GREAT red dice and killed Farlander very quickly but the greens abandoned him late game. I don't often fly with or against Imperials so their movements were somewhat of a surprise. **** things turn on a dime!
Only a couple of things worth mentioning. 1) Kannan on the Ghost was frustrating by lowering the attack factor by spending a focus. 2) Sixteen HP don't last long when you're throwing zero greens in defense. 3) Finally one of the asteroids must have been playing the siren's song because of the 8 ships on the board 5 hit the same **** rock! I think 3 were on it at one time.
great stuff everyone. thanks
