First match - Liar of the Dianoga

i decided to travel as a group as i had 5 activations. Han and chewie in the front MHD, gideon behind and jyn off to the side. I decided not to focus on the Dianoga until late game. my opponent chipped away at it while i locked my team to the one terminal with an open space to the Dianoga.

that tight bunch of friends had them bouncing protector and distracting bonuses back and forward, with MHD healing and gideon focusing chewie. chewie managed to almost one-shot captain terro with a focused and 'tools for the job command card' (which allows me to add another dice of my choosing. always red) then a quick draw (one in a million) from jyn finished off terro when terro activated

I managed to hold them off the terminal and kill dewbacks and some elite jet troopers.

I go flanked by his heavy troopers and elite stormies and they killed gideon but MHD-19 is a 'miracle worker' and saved his life. i kept that huddle of support for most of the game, and his troops couldn't get through without losing a unit guaranteed from Han or Chewie.

at the very last round after all activations but my Jyn had gone. the dianoga was on two health left, and Jyn managed run in and kill it with a good shot.

I managed to win the game with some Dianoga and unit damage. didn't lose a uint

Second Match - Pick up the crates mission, i forget what its called.

this was the match i was worried about, as i don't think i would be able to play objective very well. based on more expensive units. This time i decided to just run round the back through that long corridor and punch through his forces. this way i was trying to score as many points from killing units while he is grabbing the crates,. it worked really well, he met me in the corridor with dewback and terro and heavy troopers, while his grunts picked up crates. (I got flame throwered and shot in that corridor a lot) but i manged to push through with a Chewbacca focussed attack, jyn activated and shot, then a quickdraw when a figure activated. then Jyn died, and Chewie (debts repaid) to ready chewie, focus him again and then he punched through again with attacks and slam. from then i harassed his forces from the back, splitting them up. even with them scoring at least 16 points in crates i managed to destroy most of his forces until an end of round concede 29 to 21

highlights

Jyn did manage to super dodge at least 3 times

Chewbacca did a super dodge and three blocks at least tree times in a row. (black and white dice combo)

and Han super dodged once with a cool return fire shot.

I did help this with hard to hit re-rolls and such.

MHD-19 improper procedure'd a dewback rider to death

double focus from gideo (single purpose) on Han and chewie

take initiative once and then again with Han's command card

*I really liked and was surprised playing this list i would like to try it in the local league and see what it does.

thanks for reading
