This feels like one of those rare situations where a little used talent and an odd ball pilot skill (narf narf narf) mesh surprisingly well for a powerful offensive and defensive action economy. The bonus is that you want to move and shoot first so as to have perfect knowledge of your opponent's I5 and I6 units location to easily line up the bullseye since repositioning isn't much of an option on the ARC.

that looks good. I like odd ball in the v-19 torrent with debris gambit because he can roll and if the enemy is in his bullseye red evade for lock.

If the enemy is not then he skips the lock and does a white evade because of rock a close by rock.

Debris Gambit is not a "may" ability, so getting that red evade to trigger oddball is still gonna be tricky

This. feels like anti-synergy to me.

True, but I'm not implying that you're going to be taking an evade action every turn. The red evade from DG can be a better option for triggering Odd Ball's ability.

I'd almost be tempted to roll with Squad Leader Oddball...

And as for Obi - imo, CLT should be stapled to him. He wants to be focusing every turn, and with that in mind, the guaranteed additional focus is better than a 3rd rolled die. He can reliably get bullseye at I6, especially if you also throw on R4-P17

Oobi is an I5 but point taken, it's not too difficult to line up bullseye arcs with him in my experience.

oops...my bad I thought it was a may.😥
