Han Super Shield

By gothound, in Army Building

When Han was spoiled, everyone was talking about his distraction card. Being able to only shoot Han seems good, right? I scoffed. What good is a commander if he's dead? Han is lucky, not tanky.

Well after looking around, I think with the power of (several) guardians, and a whole lot of stim-packs, I think I have a viable Han distraction list.

Han Solo 120
Esteemed Leader, Duck and Cover, Emergency Stims,

Fleet Troopers 44
Scatter Gun Trooper, 2-1B Medical Droid,

Rebel Troopers 40
Z-6 Trooper,

Fleet Troopers 44
Scatter Gun Trooper,

Rebel Troopers 40
Z-6 Trooper,

Rebel Troopers 40
Z-6 Trooper,

Rebel Troopers 40
Z-6 Trooper,

Chewbacca 110
Tenacity,

1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team 70

1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team 70


Commands: The usual

As far as list building, I feel like I've met the minimum and at least got half of it down.

I have the required Trooper task forces, I have my Fleets and Cheiwe to make the Han Shield work, and I have my Dish towers for anti-armor. I have my Anvil set up, but I feel this list lacks a Hammer

Yeah that looks like that would hold up against units attacking Han for one round with his command card but after that round...then what? There needs to be some serious gain for this to work really well and what I think would be good would be probably switching out the cannons for 2 Wookie Warrior units. When you throw down Han's distraction card, all the enemy units attack him but he sustains the fire while the wookies are safe to move in and wreak havoc in their army without the enemy units being able to do anything.

Reckless Diversion works great even without the meatshields for Han. Mostly because despite that white dice, Han can pretty easily get heavy cover even in the open and it makes him tanky. His rerolls bring up his survivability pretty drastically

I agree with bllaws suggestion, have some plan for reckless diversion, something you want ot protect, a squad of wookies or some sabotuers strike team could be exctly that.

List looks good otherwise, personally not 100% convinced Rebels should not take the 6:trooper in their squads. I always use them and think it works great.
