EPIC Raymus and Cassian

By Parakitor, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Cassian Andor (2 points): At the end of Planning phase, you may choose an enemy ship at Range 1-2. Guess aloud that ship's bearing and speed, then look at its dial. If you are correct, you may rotate your dial to another maneuver.

Raymus Antilles (6 points): At the start of the Activation phase, choose 1 enemy ship at Range 1-3. You may look at that ship's chosen maneuver. If the maneuver is white, assign that ship 1 stress token.

So after all dials are down, you use Cassius Andor to look at the dial of an enemy ship, and see whether it is white or not. If it is, then at the start of the activation phase you can use Raymus Antilles to look at that dial and assign that ship a stress token. If it is not white, you can use Raymus on a different target.

Worth 8 points? Hardly. But when you think of it as paying only 2 squad points extra to get a second chance at Raymus' ability, it's not so bad. I mean, Raymus is still considerably overpriced. Just wanted to throw this out there to see if anybody else has some crazy combos or good squad mates for this combo.

...Wait. Cassian on a huge ship to change your maneuver dial to be better positioned to run over enemy ships? Now that has some merit, as long as organized play doesn't add an addendum to the tournament rules like they did banning Navigator from Huge ships.
