Jan Ors crew lets you change a focus to an evade when you are assigned the focus, and the wording of the Rey crew says you can assign a focus to yourself during combat. My question is, if both of these crew are on an Auzituck and you make a pile of focus with Rey, can you assign yourself an evade every turn with Jan instead? I think this works with the wording.

Yes, once per round. Jan says once per round when a ship is assigned a focus token (including yourself) you can make it an evade instead. So if you had a focus already banked on Rey and then assigned it from Rey to you and had not yet triggered Jan's ability that turn, you could convert it to an evade at that time.

Goodness, that would be difficult to kill. An evade of An evade pez dispenser and reinforce?

Correct. An older version of that I've seen is teaming up Jan and Recon Spec for a focus and evade for each round.

Or all 3, with a buddy nearby. Bank focus at the same rate you spend evades.

Thanks, everyone. It's good to have that clarified. My theory here was making sure to have as much defence as possible in a turn where I didn't have an enemy in arc.

The Auzituck will be an interesting one to use because if you use reinforce on a turn where you want to shoot you have only unmodified dice. Anybody else predicting only a low amount of green on the dial? They'd never let us PTL with reinforce. Anyway, this combo idea of mine you wouldn't use every turn, but when you did use it I think it would be effective. I love the Rebels but I'm a bit sick of low evade ships.

Jan, C3PO, and PTL and you have 3+ evade results per turn.

While I agree that there will probably be little green on the Auzituck, I'm very interested to see how much the 180 arc will make that less of an issue. Maybe a green one bank will be all it needs to stay in the fight most times?

By the way, I'm Lachie and I'm one of the hosts of an Australian x-wing podcast called Hell of a Pilot. In our last episode we talked about the wave 11 ships and I suggested putting a targeting computer on the Auzituck. Would any of you try that?

Maybe. I've had good luck with sticking the Targeting computer on the Attack Shuttle. It does come down to how good you can make the Auzituck's action economy.

I agree, that's why im trying to think of tricks for it. With only two actions and only crew upgrades, it's going to come down to crew and EPTs. Maybe modifications. PTL and Kanan? It's gotta have white banks at least. PTL, Kanan and Kyle Katarn?

I like it. PTL, Kanan, and Kyle is 9 points, but it is quite effective. Tried it on Rey before Finn was revealed. The Targeting Computer might also be a good think to add in as well, but this is piling on the points.

So, this to me was an interesting thought. The inference I got from it is that the Auzituck would have all red turns. Is this just you trying to cover bases, or do you think that's a real possibility for the ship?

The targeting computer could easily get left off that build, but also if the ship is going to survive a lot longer, maybe 11 points isn't so bad? People pay 12 points on Dash and Dengar.

Far out, the dial couldn't be that bad, could it? I'm assuming it would be somewhat like a y-wing dial. I know it's got the reinforce action but if the manoeuvres are too restrictive the ship will see very limited play.

Very true. If it can stay alive well enough, plus 11 points isn't bad for helping both defense and offense potentially. And honestly, halving that to 6 points for just PTL and Kanan should still be solid.

I wouldn't think they would give the Auzituck a dial with all red turns. It was just a sudden thought that struck me. A Y-wing like dial seems on the money.

I think I know where you're coming from. They like their novelty ships, so it wouldn't be impossible for them to have designed a ship specifically to make use of an action they've given it; I just hope they don't.

Agreed.

The 180 degree firing Arc with Jyn + Jan would make a fun combo. (If it is a 180 degree firing arc, and just not a fore/aft indicator.)

Heard a few people suggest Jyn. With a bigger field of vision to use it should work nicely.

it is a 180 degree arc. You can see the aux arc card in the fan and the aux arc symbol on the pilot card.

if it was a fore/aft marker then the line would be blue and the Reinforce ref card wouldnt even exist, since then it would follow Epic rules just fine.

If the dial is more ywing than bwing I could see only a straight green, with white 2 turns. Maybe they do the party bus dial where 3 turn is white and 2 turn is red?

I think the white bank comment that was made was more suggesting this than all turns are red.

I'm still on the fence with this ship. To me, it is a B wing with less actions/accuracy and I rarely justify taking a B wing as it is, or a G1A for that matter and I LOVE B wings.

Least a B wing can take Fire Control System and barrel roll, this thing is going to be reinforcing or taking a focus action, that's it. Doing one or the other kinda kills you. If you reinforce, your attack suffers, if you focus, you are a B wing.

Also, PS7 is going to be around 27 - 28 points i reckon, throw on Predator for re-rolls and Rey crew so you can focus stack early and you now are in the 35 point region with a single agility ship. Tag on Biggs because why not and you have 40 points left. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw a Biggs and FCS B wing on the board, so why is the Auzi going to make any difference? All the same threats are still there as far as I am concerned:

TLT
Omega Leader
Tractor Beams
Stress assignment
4 + consistent attack dice

Now this is also being released in a wave whereby the Imperials get their hands on a quad TLT build, which I can imagine, for the lolz, is going to have a fun time with all the other quad TLT lists that are likely to resurface.

So Jyn + Jan + PTL = Focus, Focus, Evade & Reinforce if you get 3 enemy ships in arc?

This seems fun and beefy but I don't think I'd fly it because it isn't that much of a threat. This will eat over a third of your 100 points and all its doing it putting out 3 red dice with a possible focus modifier

I'm curious how 4 Kashyyyk Defenders with wookies commandos would perform. Your opponent will want to focus fire and take one out asap which is where reinforce will really shine.
