Han (TFA) build with bombing

By SheepRebel, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am working on this idea about using TFA Han´s deployment ability with bombing, by Sabine crew.

The lack of a torpedo slot for Extra Munitions made it a short party, but now Bomblet Generator can fix that.

The question is, what else to kit him with and what else to fly.

My best idea so far is PtL and Kanan on Han, for the full modded 3 red 360, simple and effective.

The TfA title can be fun with bombs, but I think the evade comes in handy when he is in a tight spot.

Something like:

Han Solo (TFA), PtL, Sabine, Kanan, Bomblet Generator, Evade Title: 58pts

Then I´ll want another bomb carrier to get the most out of Sabine, and hopefully force opponents into a tunnel of hurt.

Miranda allways comes to mind, something like TLT, Cluster Mines, Extra Munitions: 41 pts

Leaving a 1 point bid (initiative is nice to place Han last knowing where everyone else are).

Is there a better Han setup in this list than PtL and Kanan? (I have so far come up with nothing).

Is there a better alternative than Miranda?

How much a priority would you make the bid?

Bomblet Generator requires two Bomb slots. So only the K-wing and Nym in the Scurrg can use it for the Rebels.

Miranda (currently) is the best Bomber in the game so she would be a good wingman.

I thought of similar thing with TFA Han but as a PS10 unavoidable cruise missile!

I have put in a half dozen games with TFA Han and Nym with Mine Mapper, both at PS10. I don't have the original title (sacrilege!), and ran Sabine and Snuggling Compartment with Rigged Cargo on Han.

I'be tried several variations and strategies for both Han's set-up and initial engagement. And I just can't wrap my head around it. It seems that the average or above average experienced players have no trouble at all adapting to Han's shenanigans. Played aggressively, he gets focused down almost immediately. Played as bait, well, no one took the bait, so his shenanigans were entirely moot. And further, if he's just going to run away, why bother with TFA Han over ANH Han? (In my case, only because I don't have the original expansion due to a focus on Scum and a shortage of funds, ha ha.)

With Advanced Slam, Miranda is probably your best bet. Nym was just too slow. I was simply laboring under the idea that Mine Mapper might make some appreciable difference in TFA Han's utility; which it did not. However, I still want to believe that TFA Han can do something scary. Perhaps with better predictive skills, a Sabine/Conner Net, Ion Projector load-out might be more effective?
