Squads aren't your friend for open groups anymor  e.

Nexus are fun. But really  , I haven't  found  a great counter for Vinto yet. Basically, just throw stuff on the board and don't get too attached.

The secondary gun is a waste of XP, in my opinion. I've found that as far as weapons go, DDC defender is brutal, because it's potentially 3 extra damage per turn, that Vinto can surgically place wherever he wants. He can even place it on figures that are blocked by other figures, if he uses thread the needle (and it's really easy to build a strong strain lite Vinto class, anyway). Add in Shot on the Run and Merciless, and you've got a character who can deal a ton of surgical damage, as well as potentially being pretty hard-hitting on his own.

*cry* Thanks.

the best way i've found to deal with vinto is to remove him from the board. Rhodians receive no mercy! The player playing vinto has started to hate me. they finally picked him up some armor! Him and gideon are top of my "not too hard to remove, so I remove them" list.

okay, 3 stormies, 1 PD and Officer Dan focusing on vinto thanks for the tip

Stun is also good against vinto. I just got my arc blasters so he rarely starts a round unstunned.

Do you make them withdraw or just wound?

Probably withdraw, since Wounding wouldn't affect Vinto much outside Thread the Needle.

Which can kinda suck when you need to bring in player elimination, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

tonight they are playing 2x characters each. Gideon/Vinto & Jyn/Ko-Tun so I won't feel bad

most of my groups don't get past 4 players, so either we have a free floating character, or each person has 2 characters, So I feel 0 remorse withdrawing a figure.

Yeah 2 heroes per 2 players each is easily my favorite way to play.

Rebels get more to do, and you don't feel bad causing some withdrawls.

A perfect 1:1 ratio is fun because there are more people at the table, but it just can't compare to a tight 2 player 4 hero game.

I agree completely.

Well that was fun! The game ended in Round 4. Ko-tun had 1 hp left and the eOfficer ordered the Riot Trooper to finish her off for the win. Vinto rolled 4 or 5 dodges, but I just kept pounding on him. Maul was a difference maker. They started running away from him into the loving arms of my other troops. Jyn was having horrible luck with her quick draw.

Going for Rancor eggs next week.
