During a rather boring christmas shop, my mind started pondering the different ways to use Pryce. As the reveal article suggests, my first thought is as first place where i can do an almighty first and last attack with an ISD.

However, I couldnt get away from all the ways my oppentent would be able to counter me. I would think either 2nd or 3rd round is the best place to use her, but by broadcasting this my opponent could easily slow roll in and make activating last suboptimal.

Another problem could be if i face an oppentent who also brings Pryce, as first player i would have to annouce what round to use her, allowing my oppentent to say the same and activate after me, rendering mine useless.

This got me thinking, perhaps 2nd player works better. If my oppentent wants to slow roll in, I can make the most of objective points and have objectives like contensted Outpost etc. Basically using her as a threat to scare off oppentent. Yes you dont get the awesome firepower of first and last, however a garunteed last player does mean you can see the lay of the land and position accordingly to dodge an arc or set up for a good next round

I dont know, perhaps the christmas rabbalings of a mind in need of distractions but maybe theres something to this. I guess i'll find out when the wave finally drops

I think coming up with good ways to use Pryce as second player and Bail Organa as first player are almost going to have to be built into the most successful list designs. Otherwise, seven points is an awful lot to pay for an upgrade that only works when you get the particular player that you desire.
