Alright, I'm never going to learn my lesson! Next list, again with Poe and Jake. Stresshog got scratched. Instead I want to up Jake with Cruisemissiles (or Prockets) and add in another ship at up to 22 points.

The basic build is this, as usual:

• Poe + Intensity + R2-D2 + Black One + Comm Relay + Autothrusters (45pt)
• Jake + PTL + VI + Procket/Cruise + Autothruster + Testpilot (33pt)

Now for the new addition, there are two ideas:

1. Airen Cracken + Cruise + Adaptability + GC for a total of 100 pt list. This gives me a reasonably strong alphastrike plus a fully modified Poe or Jake attack.
2. Ahsoka + VI + Captured TIE + Sabine's Masterpiece + something

That something for Ahsoka could be Jyn Erso for total 100pt. Or I take off the Cruisemissile from Jake and then load her up with OpSpecialist and EMP/Feedbackarray for a nice initiative bid at 98 points.

Thoughts?

I would probably go for cruise on Jake and Airen Cracken for the alphastrike, that way you should be able to PS kill (at least) one ship in the opening salvos.

Or, mix and match; Cruise Missiles for Airen Cracken, but Proton Rockets for Jake. If Airen pulls a (fairly predictable) straight 4 to launch cruise missiles, the obvious response is to speed into short range.....but if getting into minimum range of a cruise missile means getting proton rockets to the face (probably focus/target locked due to the free action passed over by Cracken), is it really the right choice?

I also tend to that one. Seems to be much simpler and straightforward, and doing more work.

I had a similar idea with snapshot and cruise, but prockets are of course more intimidating. But I think I prefer cruise on both for a convincing opening

Sabine Wren

The PS could be a problem for her.

At that point I'd rather stick with the stresshog, but you're right that it is an option.

Sabine w/Intensity/Title/Reconspec.

That's a nice thought, actually.

That would be cool, she would end up with Soontir's stack of doom but without the stress. However, I'm not sure that the 2 attack dice on a PS5 will really do much. Maybe use her as blocker? Would be a bit expensive though...

But it was with this list , not with Jake. I think Jake needs VI+PTL

Well.... if you could fit in Sabine shuttle with TLT/intensity/rec-spec then you got yourself some hilarity!
