Just move slow and easy taking green manuevers. Chewbacca should get a focus evade every round, Lando gets two focus, an evade, and can reroll up to 3 Dice on both gunner Shotshots. This was insanely brutal

That is a pretty nasty combo.

Holy s***, this looks really good on paper. Batreps wanted!

Hmm, my hunch is that U-boats would probably blow the Falcons out of the water. They don't have enough torpedoes to kill them both but they can kill one and maul the other fairly quickly. After that it is just a case plinking away with turrets until the second Falcon dies.

No ****, Sherlock. U-Boats blow everything out of the water.

Sorry - just sick of seeing people say this to EVERY list put up on these boards. U-Boats and Trandos will blow everything up. Yay.

I think U-boats are getting pushed out by aces and Dengaroo as well as the Wes/Biggs combo. The list is not strong against U-boats but can hammer the lists that are winning tournaments.

If someone comes up with a fun list then I am all for looking at whatever tricks it can perform. However the OP implied he was looking at the list competitively so I think it is worth comparing said list to whatever is doing well in the meta at the moment. Right now, that means U-boats and Palp-Aces as probably being 2 of the most popular meta-lists (possibly Dengaroo as well).

Against Palp-Aces, I think it will struggle to hit Soontir or Inky behind their autothrusters and Palp-protection.

I am not saying it is a bad list or that it wouldn't be fun to play but if someone describes a list as "insanely brutal", I think it is only fair to compare it to the best competition it is likely to face.

It might do well against Wes/Biggs as the 3-dice PWTs will take their toll on X-wings for sure, it depends on who/what the 3rd ship is. Against Dengaroo it could do well provided it can keep at least 1 ship shooting at Dengar out of his primary arc to prevent his retaliatory shot whilst still finding a way to hunt down Manaroo. That one is kind of a weird match-up as Falcon and Scouts have similar strengths and play in a similar way.

I've actually found the opposite to be true with palp aces. When you have a large ship like chewie who can close in for a bump and a gunner shot with full modification on both shots, Soontir, whisper and inquisitors are tough but this list specifically is able to push through the dice mod and with the evades allows them to last longer since aces have to keep their actions for defense and can't spend it on attacks.

Dengaroo, is a position game and is all about bumping correctly and calling where he is maneuvering to be out of arc. tough but this list is tough enough to handle it.

Against Wes and Biggs, I have the answer of token stack to handle We's removal and you get in close and shoot Biggs. X-wings are not maneuverable so this is doable.

Triple U-boats or U-boats and a party bus is the big up hill battle. Don't joust them, move through the asteroid field and force them to split shots. You can win it but odds are against you.

Never tell me the odds!

I don't play the YT-1300, so when I ask: Which Chewie and which Title are using? I ask because the synergy doesn't jump out at me lol I assume the original iterations of both, right?

:D

I would also put my money on the original versions of Chewie and the title. Not enough friendlies to feed Newbacca and no Kanan to shift the stress of the new title.

You are correct. this would be OG Chewie and title.

I went with the original title so Jan Ors crew could give Lando an evade and the title would give Chewie the option for an evade with his second action.

Wes i understamd, but dengaroo?

Uboats are one of few lists that can just plow through dengar while giving 0 ***** about manny

But Dengaroo is better against Palp Aces and most every Palp Ace list I see murders U-boats. So if you are a scum player wanting to run the flying toilet seat, your better option would be a Dengaroo list. As we all know, Triple U-boats is just hard on the rebel faction entirely. Now that being said. Having played all through the regional season, you usually only come up against 1 U boat list. so taking the loss there and crushing the rest of your opponents seems fine. But this is all theory crafting of countering local and national meta with something new that will spoil. Which is probably better discussed on the main board because no one really reads the squad list page.

Anyone with half a brain will block lando breaking the combo. And without repositioning, they are very easy to focus fire. So looks like 'no-think' loses to 'some think' ;)

That is why chewie is the blocker car. He holds the spot for lando to move into.

As soon as HOTR drops I'm going to try this. Looks like a fun use for second YT-1300.

Umm. There's a pretty significant flaw in that thinking, but maybe the people you play against don't block much and you'll be fine...

I play in Omaha that invented blocking. With the heavy PS bid that most players have to make now. there is little that is moving before Chewie that is going to go for the block. Most everything popular is PS 8 and up. Manaroo in a Dengaroo list isn't going to be getting that close to both of my ships to block and if she does, she is going to fall fast. Even a palp shuttle isn't going to try and get up there to block. More often than not, Chewie can move to a position he knows will be open leaving a nice big spot for Lando to move into. Not that difficult.

Yeah, I've played dual falcons before. You can avoid blocks on Lando by making him step in Chewie's footprint. It isn't that hard to set up.

Here is my future HotR Turret Combo

Eaden Vrill (40) - YT-2400

"Mangler" Cannon (4), Intelligence Agent (1), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Smuggling Compartment (0)

Rey (59) - YT-1300

Veteran Instincts (1), C-3PO (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

I still don't know which way to go on the Falcon, original Falcon title with C-3PO or new title with Kanan.

Obviously Eaden for blocking and hitting stressed ships, but he is pretty much there to buy Rey time to take out the support. For Dengar, the more stress he piles on the better for Eaden. If nothing else, the Mangler is still a good range 3 weapon.

Again, the biggest weakness will be the U-Boats and Crack Swarms.

When wave X comes along, replace the Intel Agent with Cassain Andor.
