Played a game against a Tanky/Control Boba/Asajj; made some mistakes and lost but got half MOV on Asajj and almost half MOV on Boba. I started all 5 ships in a block formation, got the A-Wing in the backfield while Bey and the Talas jousted. I'm thinking next time I'll run the A-Wing on a far flank, the 3 Talas in a formation, and Shara near by.

I found the cluster missiles on the Talas to be a bit lack luster and considered exchanging them for concussion missiles. M9-G8 I found to be pretty gimmicky for 3 points and considered trying R7-T1. The second target lock from Weapons Engineer was more useful than I though; it really helped with those turns that the Talas were bumped but had a shot on another target.

Your Tweaks and Tactics?

so keep the awing as a blocker. use shara for the target locks. the bandits take the focus i gave her bb8 and VI, two reasons , re positioning and initiative. the repositioning is important because much less likely to get bumped the initiative because ships will be moving after you more so than at ps 6 which will help you get the target locks you need.

also homing missiles so much better than clusters, you ignore their evade and can use the target lock to reroll your dice.
