Four red melee. ****.

Yeah - and that's without any apparent weapons! (even the attack is underwhelmingly called 'Overpower')...

... Chewie - the galaxy's leading proponent of Pankration!!

Though, to be fair, once he's defeated his first opponent in melee each subsequent target is probably being savagely beaten with a disembodied limb.

(in fact, if they wanted to be cute, they could have called his melee attack something like 'Improvised Armaments'... and everyone would call them 'Improvised Arms')

Is anyone else worried about keeping him alive? 9 hp is a lot, but he has no defensive abilities (and one that actually draws wounds onto him) and a white die with no surge. Maybe Dodges from Han will help him stick around.

At 80 points and a very impressive offense, he should be rather squishy, honestly.

The trick will be making your opponent not want to shoot him, either in order to not trigger Enrage or because there's someone more valuable nearby. Or preferably, both.

Really? He costs 80? My eyes can't focus on that... But makes sense with the white without surge defense

Anyone else catch the wry humour with the final sub-heading “Medal Worthy”

Hehehe ?

That's quite funny.

Everybody says the lack of a medal for Chewbacca means the Rebellion is racist. I have a different interpretation. Solo and Skywalker showed up in their best clothes and Chewbacca walks out in front of everyone stark, staring naked. They probably just wanted to get the ceremony over with to end the embarrassment!

Chewie looks to be an even hundred. 9 health, white die defense with no surge makes him very squishy though.

I like the wookie warriors a little better.

If they'd made the lanyard longer and the medal bigger they could have covered Chewie's modesty! ?

Hmm... that could be a one in front of two zeroes... Either way, he's more durable than Veers and Leia (exempting nimble/esteemed leader) with 10.8 effective wounds to Veers's 10 and Leia's 9. Although the nature of a surgeless white defense die is that it probably won't feel that way.

Thinking about regular Wookiees here. You can't shoot into melee right? Just move around in LoS blocking terrain til you can double move on some troopers?

After looking at Chewie just wish they had done a better sculpt on Han and that he was in his classic scoundrel garb.

Is it wrong that I've got plans to buy another set of Fleet troopers just so I can modify one guy into a Han pose?

Wrong?! It’s just the most right thing I’ve heard all day.

Seriously, the imperial player in this example must be a brainless. Got to love ffg articles.
