My best use of Leia is to tag team with Luke for the double commanders option. I think that will be great. Veers by comparison I can’t imagine trying to pair with Darth.

Agreed, Luke and Leia will be a force to be reckoned with, which is very thematic and I love that. And I really love how good Leia is without any upgrades, her abilities and command cards are pretty awesome and her cheaper point cost allows for a ton of list flexibility.

In my opinion, Vader and Veers are too at odds with each other to work great together. Veers is good for lists with a good amount of vehicles, but Vader's high point cost interferes with the ability to have more vehicles. Plus together, they are already more than a third of an army cost, and thats without upgrades!

Veers will probably fit better with the next commander coming for the Empire which I think everyone expects to be a cheaper option than Vader. But that's a discussion for another post

Not the first person to say that, but I can't imagine not at least having Esteemed Leader.

True statements. I just meant if you wanted to max out the rest of your list with units and have her without upgrades just to have a commander, she would still be good.

She gives pretty insane flexibility. You can take her, Luke, 4 maxed squads and 3 ATRTs with rotary blasters. If you think of Luke as just a "forward Jedi" and not a commander you have a pretty sick list.

You mean using Leia’s Command cards and having Luke “just” for damages?

Oh that sounds fun. And exactly, dont care too much about his survivability since you'll have Leia being your "real" commander- and for full efficiency of him, just have the "son of skywalker" card to give him that activation with the extra attack.

Yep! As @Jman444 said, just take son of skywalker with you because it's too good, and just run Luke like he was a General in the clone wars! Leading from the front and dropping storm troopers like it's going out of style. He's a monster in the trenches, especially if you're not too worried about him surviving, and especially especially if Vader isn't the commander on the other side. All you have to make sure of is you're not in line of sight off too many units at once.

Shhh ;)... I might, I think I need some Fleet troopers to stand freightened in front of my painted Vader, and I have kept my core set Rebels to play against my 8year old daughter, Leia is probably perfect for her

6 health white defense, though. Speeder bait if she can't get off her dodge token. Think you have to staple esteemed leader to her.

Dont`'t forget, that she can get esteemed leader for 5 points and troopers will be on her side the whole time.

I’d advocate taking Luke’s command cards as well, because he can really use those dodge tokens! They also make it easy to double up on dodge (Command Card plus Leia’s take cover) before Luke even activates, and give Leia some protection while she stays in range to buff Luke and contribute to the fight.

I'll second that! Luke's cards are amazing, and it might be useful to include them as well. I'm working on a list that could perform well with Luke and Leia whilst still providing a good level of activation control, and I decided to go ATRT-less for the first time:

Just curious, how would you deal with at-sts with a list like this?

Yeah I mean what command cards you take is up to you and your play style, but if using Leia with Luke, and using Luke aggressively, Im not sure Id take all of his cards, but it would be interesting to play around with that for sure.

I think that's where Han paired with Leia will come in nicely as well, the command cards we've seen are pretty sneaky so he'd be a priority target and draw fire away from her.

I could see setting up a really good attack using his "reckless diversion" card followed next round by either Leia's "coordinated bombardment" or "somebody has to save our skins" cards. Allow Leia and her troopers to move up the field while the enemy has to shoot at han and his guys, then next turn lay down some fire with Leia and her units

Ah, the old White Defence Die. I knew there had to be some sort of drawback.

Well, i'll just laugh at the face of anyone who brought LaseRT or took hh12s over dlts. And I'll cry at the sight of multiple flamers ;) Leia will just be sooo good with trooper spam it will be hard not to try it, at least.

Ignoring one could be a viable tactic. You usually don't have enought time to kill everything, so choosing something you can ignore helps you focus on the objective more.

Further, if you do 10 wounds, but not 11, to an AT-ST by the end of the game, you’ve wasted whatever firepower you spent causing those 10 wounds. It’s not always realistic or necessary to plan on killing something like that.

I bring 3 lascannon ATRTs... and I still often ignore the ATST.

Don’t know if I need to deal with him. He blocks a lot of points and gives me the opportunity to get nite objectives.

And it was just a question how a Luke Leia Lust could look like

And also the AT-ST can't take objectives. If you kill all enemy Troopers and then secure most of the objectives the game is already over.
