Imoerials have more extraordinary uniques to fight over. As a Rebel player, it is basically: who gets Jan

Then for Imperials: Who kills Jan lol

Makes the rebel player wonder, when/why deploy Jan? Maybe learn to use generic HWKs...

Been thinking myself that unique squads are a hard sell in CC and maybe best kept for late-game, right? I mean, Vader in a Tie Advanced is great, but un-scarring him would cost nearly the same as a fresh TAdv squad... and by extension, un-scarring a TAdv squad costs half as much as the same thing for Vader.

Unique squads will have to be jealously guarded because they will make fantastic targets. Agent Kallus will be a sought after upgrade and likely to show up on ship builds not seen in standard play!

Yavaris would like to have a word.

I would second this, I have never used Jan, but Tyco and Yavaris are included in almost every Rebel fleet that I see anyone field in my area.

I distinctly remember discussions about "escort" having zero downside, that they had never played in a situation where they'd wished Wedge or Vader didn't have escort... looks like that may change in a campaigne.

Looks like you gotta think long and hard about using combos like vader/fel or wedge as the ultimate zombie escort.

Just think of it... taking an auto damage on a generic x wing from fel suddenly isn't so bad if it means you have a chance to take down vader.

Me like it lots.

Hell if you have an opponent on the ropes with a scarred vader squadron I would send an entire portion of my fleet to kill Vader. I would ignore ship to ship shots to do AS shots. After all, you would not only be taking out a powerful unique squadron for the rest of the campaign, you would also be removing an Admiral

That would make me smile... just think of it... a fleet specifically created consisting of only 3 transports with expanded hangers and 9 a wings sent on a top secret mission... kill vader at all costs. How's that for story driven? Would be one interesting game too. Completely asymmetrical.

It's exactly what happened to Admiral Yamamoto during WWII.

Super story-driven.

This all brings the question, will anyone field a rieeken fleet?

The Demolisher is awesome in a one-off game but tends to be a glass cannon.

So in a campaign game it seems it would be more of a hindrance then a help when dealing with limited resources.

I can see it as a green objective ship. So only use it when you are playing your special assault to get those wonderful resources.

Exactly what I was thinking. It will most likely push away Rieekan zombie 7 CR90's all set up to ram you, but you never know.

right here is an idea. Design a cheap cruise missile list to take out a damaged Imp ship. Could be worth it sacrificing 2-3 CR90's to take out say, the Interdictor or a key officer. Maybe if you are a flighter player, to kill the Impetuous.

With this focus on killing uniques, I wonder how winning of a strategy that would really be. I think there's no question that Jan Ors, Major Rhymer and Demolisher are very strong cards, but do you really want to bend your campaign strategy around eliminating them, when your opponents can choose to spend the points to repair them?

As long as they can.

Put enough pressure on and you force priorities....

... Sure, they might be able to keep Demolisher... But when it becomes a choice between Demolisher, Avenger, and putting bases on a few Systems to generate more resources in the Long Run.... it hurts...

Choices, choices.

Honestly, I can't imagine too many people being able to play so many campaigns that anyone will really discover a big structural imbalance in this system (unless it's glaring).

Except of course, me, when I am somehow defeated. Then I'll find out what the structural imbalance was that accounts for my loss. (It couldn't have been my own fault, or any virtue on the part of my adversaries, after all.)
