Hey folks. Normally I go for a rebel swarm and I try to incorporate A wings as much as possible. I want to try a smaller list but bring in the Falcon as well...so here's my Solo list and if anybody could help me out that would be great!
Solo (57 total)
-Millenium Falcon Title
-Predator
-Gunner
-Mercenary Copilot
Green Squad Pilot (21 total)
-A Wing Test Pilot
-Push the Limit
-Crackshot
-Refit

Does Han's ability stack with Predator? You cannot reroll a reroll and Han's ability states you must reroll all dice.
I would be tempted to drop the merc copilot and swap PTL for Juke on one of the A-wings. The points saved will be enough to buy Autothrusters for both A-wings.
Well what happens is with Predator, if I roll awful, say 1 hit and nill of anything else, I would reroll the hit with predator, and then use han's ability on the other dice, since I can't reroll the predator'd die. At least that's how everybody else has explained it. This way I can try to get a whole bunch of eyes and use a focus token to get hits.
Problem with the A wings, I have no autothrusters.
New Han FTW! No worries about the predator stacking!

The advantage of Predator on Han is that you almost have permanent TL - you get to choose how many dice to re-roll. Only rolled 0-1 hit? Use Han's ability. Rolled 2-3 hits? Use Predator.
For the A-wings, I would drop PTL for Adaptability and Autothrusters. The 5-Awing Chiuhaha build used exactly that setup.
You can use the extra 2 points and drop Mercenary Co-pilot for Engine Upgrade on Han. He really needs that to escape arcs. C3PO over Predator might be worth it too, but then your list's damage is even more limited.
Anybody want to chime in as to how I should fly this? I tried a test run the other day and it didn't feel right...I feel like I should either blast my A's at the opponent or I should hold them far back and pounce when they get close to the falcon...Ideas?
I run a list like this. I tend to run my A's in fairly quick to cause blocks to eliminate actions on The Falcon's intended target. I tend to use this a lot against opponents that frequently use 360 and ordinance ships.
Falcon/A-Wings (100)
Chewbacca (54) - YT-1300
Predator (3), Gunner (5), C-3PO (3), Millennium Falcon (1)
Green Squadron Pilot (23) - A-Wing
Push The Limit (3), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Wired (1)
Green Squadron Pilot (23) - A-Wing
Push The Limit (3), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Wired (1)
All three almost always have an evade token and the wired re-rolls make the A's more effective. They are still prone to fickle green dic e so I try set up bumps or arc dodge as much as they can
Dont you have to reroll all dice with Hans abillity you cant pick and choose

You sorta can if you use pred first/only. You get the option of one or all or one then the rest. It could be useful if done right, but it feels a little situational to me. But yes, if you mean you can not re-roll the same die twice, you are correct. If you use Han first, you can not use Pred.
