As was pointed out to me recently by @Snipafist , now that we're about to see a whole bunch of big ships coming out, there's one little Rat Bas**** that hasn't been seen in a while that could stand to make a reappearance, especially with Sato and the Ordnance MC75.

Early Warning System? Don't care, roll blue. Toryn Farr and Bomber Command Center together? Sounds like I'm rerolling that blue dice like a heroin junkie, I NEEDS ME SOME BLUE CRITS! Oh, man, Adar Tallon back there sure looks like he could use some help in order to handle that ISD across the table from-

I'm gonna be waking up in cold sweats imagining some Sato nightmare Ordnance MC75 activating Nym to blow up my brace prior to double-arcing me for a gajillion black dice.

Will that actually happen? I mean... on average probably no. But it could. And I don't want to go to there.

When have my squadron dice ever been average?

Raddus RLB Nym.

Now were talking!

Synergizes perfectly with a Sato WAB... Blow up ships while blowing up even bigger ships! What is not to love.. Any time you get gravy for doing something you were going to do anyway is so sweet! And I want to take bail in that list, instead of Intel officer. Nym is perfect for that..

Is there a reason we haven't mentioned Yavaris and triple-tapping Nym?

I lived through this nightmare with @geek19 back in wave 2 when Rebel squadron fleets were usually packing one big bruiser (in his case, an HMC80). I do not wish to return to triple-tapping Nym followed by a lot of dice. No thanks.

Of course it's good, but you won't be able to drop it from the MC75 and blow up a brace before you go nuts with the damage. You'd have to set up the triple tap the round before, and that's a very different fleet.

I will also note that the chances of Nym proccing his blue crit with Toryn and a BCC nearby, both heck-bent on rerolling that blue die, is 58%. Not the kind of thing you can absolutely count on in a clutch moment, but more likely than you'd think.

Edit: seriously, h e l l gets censored? It's a metaphysical/mythological place and barely even harsh language.

Plus even if it only happens once, it's great!

58% of the time your opponent is going to be a sad panda.

I have only seen Nym played once, the little bastard burned my brace on my VSD at the worst possible time.

What is the mechanic for doing a triple tap? Yavaris gets you to double... are you wrapping around turns with a last first? Or, am I forgetting something?

Adar Tallon + Yavaris

Adar.

Got ya! I forgot about him. Thanks.

I don't play Rebels very much, and Adar is another one I have only seen once. I think because of the price.

Adar is expensive, but a triple tap with Luke, Nym, or Keyan is worth that ten points in my opinion.

Once I did a quad tap with the falcon on a squadron ball (Activate with Adar, double tap with Yavaris, activate again at the beginning of the ship phase)

I wish the falcon was a few less points

Just quickly made this fleet. Looks way more powerful than I thought, even as a first draft. Lots of room too. Switch to the cheap GR-75 for another 12 points. Drop Shara and the A-Wings for something else. Grab RBD if you really want.

I'll have to try this since my first wave 4 fleet was nearly the same exact thing but with a Liberty with Dodonna.

I like the start of this. May need to play around with a few things, but this could be hilariously mean. I'm not sure what happens against Sloane, but rush the ISD and tank what you can, I suppose.

Well, if you kill Sloane fast enough the squadrons really lose their anti-ship firepower. So yea, just run in and kill the flagship. Or take EWS on the MC75.

I realized it needs Intel, and maybe drop Luke to fit in a RS Scout HH and some Y-Wings. There's a lot of things this list can be molded into.

Because using yvaris these days is to invite a torrent of nerd rage and charges of being unoriginal or min max or win at all costs... Lol

Drop Nym Hwk VCX from an mc80 as first player..... Yav activates first...

Especially since Salvation is almost mandatory in a Soto list. If for no better reason than that it's funny.

Hmm, mc75, Salv, yav, flot, squadrons.... HMMM!
