Could Chewie/Miranda be an improvement? Chewie would be much harder to bring down, wants to be close to Miranda rather than far away, could serve as a blocker and can pack a punch. Miranda would become the clear primary target, which you could use to your advantage.

Looks fun. I like Chewie a lot, but I run him as a Rage Chewie, out of control with stress and rerolls.

By dropping down to Rage, inspiring recruit and Kannan it creates a lot of firepower and saves some points.

So added conner net to miranda. I'm not a great K-Wing flyer, but going against them, the conner net seems to be one of the best bombs, imo.

I got to play the list I posted today at lunch and it did...okay. I won, but didn't pull off as much bombing shenanigans as I'd have liked. I learned that bombing Miranda really doesn't want any friendly ships around too much, particularly in front of her, it limits her bombing opportunities. Chewie is a monster to bring down, so I think there's still potiential.

I somehow forgot I even ran this...I guess it wasn't that memorable of an experience! I've made a tweak and am considering trying it again...
