I'm leaving with 130+ every time with Leia... I'm pushing that limit, because Squadrons are the answer to so many problems.

and 116 myself currently...until i rebuild, of course.

I think you're confused here.

That's NOT what has been a controversy. The 'double token' is.

I must have been unclear in my language, as that's what I was talking about, stacking her effect with an actual token for a "doubling" effect for the token.

I think i figured it out, that its a yes. She can take a squadrons 1 hammerhead at long range, turn it into a fake flotilla. Which, just throwing 2 basic Y wings at my problem (Avenger) is the 1 red from the HH and the 2 black from the 2 Y-wings. With BCC rerolls, of course. Better than a con-fire. Of course, its all in how you play and build your list, so we'll see what happens next game with it!

That's a really clever way to approach her ability. You can spread the squadron approach, with 2 Ys escorting each HH, so they're not all locked down at the same time, minimising the need for Intel. And if they throw their squadrons at your Ys to pin them, then that's a lot of hull to chew through and squads that are not attacking your ships or pulling Sloane shenanigans.
