Points 50

Total points: 199

plan: keeping saw alive AS long as possible. Having Evaan close by for extra green dice and selfless.

Try to block with Saw so that intimation can proc a lot with the double taps from Y-wings.

Not sure if I should swap the perceptive copilot for either orlando+hull/shield, or have R2-D2.

I would get more selfless to spread damage around to kick in Saws ability on multiple ships.

I like Norra + Saw since Norra is hard to kill, she gets a couple more rounds of Saws ability if they go after her.

Good idea! But what about swapping selfless on Saw for Orlando. As Saw is the most important ship to keep alive?

would everyone focus him down first if everybody has selfless?

and I am not that experienced with the game, so there might be some basic Combat-knowledge I am missing here..

Yeah, I'd switch Selfless over to Norra...I want Saw alive

I was already planning flying this next time I play.

Rather than Selfless, I was considering R4s on all the Y-Wings to help maneuver, as well as Expert Handling on Norra to help her ability trigger and to take advantage of her I5-ness.

I actually just flew Selfless Saw w/ Leia & Tac officer, 2 Selfless Gold-squadron Y-wings w/ Ion & VTG, and a barebones Biggs at 2 events this weekend, placing 3rd at both at 5-2 overall.

I got an idea how to keep Saw alive. You give people another target, put Leia on other ship. Also Duth to abuse coordinate :D
