Good news everyone - with the points costs changing, this squad still fits!

It's almost like they dropped the cost of the Star fortress to offset the cost increase of trajectory simulator. Good times.

Almost as if, yeah...

Does Vennie's ability apply to herself? The text states "if the attacker is in a friendly ship's turret arc" not "another", I'm going to assume not but worth asking I feel.

Also, going on @asterborn's list, (I like that Joph build.) His ability: lets say the attacker scores two hits and you blank your defensive roll, does one go through, trigger his ability and the second gets evaded by the token, or do two go through and you then have the token should he be attacked again that round? Or do two go through and you get two tokens for the rest of the round?

Thanks

1. As it doesn’t say “another friendly ship” Vennie’s ability does work for herself.

2. You don’t get the evade token(s) till damage is dealt (when the shields are lost) which is after any opportunity you’d have to spend the evade token(s).

Correct, so it does him no good if taking a single attack. But it does make it hard to focus-fire him, as he has the tokens for the next ship to shoot.

Good to know, thanks guys!!

It never occurred to me that Vennie's ability for work for her own turret arc! That helps allay my concern about what happens when you are out of buddies.

Same until reading the text a few times today. Means you can cover all 4 arcs if you position two a-wings correctly! Lots of possibilities.

That points decrease really opened up the possibilities:

Nien Nunb (55)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)
Black One (2)

Vennie (62)
C-3PO (Resistance) (6)
Paige Tico (7)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

Lieutenant Bastian (48)
M9-G8 (7)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Total: 199
