Heff as an out and out blocker whilst Wedge and Corran do their thing. Keeping it simple.

Love the u wing setup here. Gavin instead of Corran, remove fire-control system and add some proton torps? Or are you going to arc-dodge with corran, get in close and get that extra shot?

As a new convert to the U wing I'm curious about a couple of your choices. I've only flown the U twice but I felt electronic baffle and adv sensors were both pretty mandatory. However looking at your build it seems chopper is a budget replacement for both.

Also what am I missing on tactical scrambler? It doesn't seem that useful to me but then I had problems keeping the U wing alive personally. Are you planning on bumping and then obstructing the attacks of the ship you bumped maybe? That sounds appealing.

Thats the idea. U-wing is an annoyance but still has teeth with 3 red die.

Corran for the higher Initiative and the aim to use him aggressively and get him in close whilst the UW blocks, hopefully bumps, and reduces the agility by 1. FC on Corran handy for the double tap. 1 reroll on first and spend to reroll all on the second.

Back to the drawing board. Was destroyed in one game with Scum action economy and enjoying pushing stress. Simple counter - B Wings. The rest were closer although crap dice rolling at crucial times destroyed me e.g. Corran, range 3 behind an asteroid and with evade - 5 green dice, 1 evade and 4 blanks. Not a great deal you can do to safeguard against crap dice throwing if that nature.

How did heff perform with that setup? I'm considering chopper for my next series over adv sensors and baffle only I'll be running Cassian or saw again.

When I remembered to do everything, Heff worked well. Just need practise. Not played much XW for a year and just getting into 2e.
