This one is less offensive, but takes more advantage of things going boom...

There's a guy here in Phoenix that won a store championship with a similar list. He dropped tracers off two of the bandits, and has Rage on Chewie. I'm not sure of the rest of the list though.

Morgan has run this one to good success. I mean, who do you shoot here?

It seems like it'd be pretty strong, but after running it in Squad Benchmark a little, it's not as good as Rey with 3 tracer Bandits against most things.

Not Bandits but I've tried this and it worked very well:

Chewbacca [HotR] (Trick Shot, Hotshot Co-pilot, C-3PO, Millenium Falcon [Evade])

Tala (Homing Missiles, Guidance Chips)

Tala (Advanced Homing Missiles, Guidance Chips)
Tala (Advanced Homing Missiles, Guidance Chips)

100 points

I've also faced the following, which won a Q2 kit in our area:

Chewbacca [HotR] (Expertise, C-3PO, R2-D2, Millenium Falcon[Evade])

Bandit (XX-23 S-Thread Tracers, Guidance Chips)

Bandit (Concussion Missiles, Guidance Chips)

Bandit (Concussion Missiles, Guidance Chips)

When you're probably getting your target lock free - meaning you might as well focus for your action, plus wookie commandoes, plus glitterstim, I feel like you're doubling down a bit too much on the same dice modifiers. Similarly, is predator really that great when you've probably got a free lock?

I like the idea, though, but I think that you need to start by making chewie the unappealing target.

I wonder if pairing him with Biggs and Thane might work?
