In the most recent 600+ player system open a Han won with a A wing, this made me start messing around with Han himself and wanting to try him out. Obviously I dont want to copy the list but I had a bit of a look and what do you think of 2 YTs?

Han Solo - R2D2, Trickshot, Engine Upgrade, Interial Damperners (100)

Lando - Nien Numb, Leia, Trickshot, Shield Upgrade (93)

193/200

Han Ideas:
Trickshot - No explination needed
R2D2 - Han can reroll the attack dice to prevent exposing damage cards (most people know R2 is good on Han)
Engine - So he doesnt need to do blue manouvers. Also Lando can give him a boost and then he can do a white and get his normal action
Internal - Lando can give him a mod then he can just stop for emergencies

Lando Ideas:
Nien - No explination needed
Leia - Shes 2 points.....
Trickshot - No explination needed
Shield Upgrade - points to spare and always nice.

7 Point bid is enough agaist 98% of lists. Should I take shield of for a even BIGGER bid?

Going to try it out tonigh and see how it goes.

What do you guys think?

What will your approach be with this list?

I was running this list for a little while. I was using rigged cargo chute on Han cause Lando can pass him the action before he moves. I also found that Leia, however cheap, was a waste of 2 points. With the bowtie rotating arc, I never had to actually turn around. I also tried to fit cluster missiles to challenge swarms from jousting me.

All rocks in the middle of the board.

Place my ships at a place on the board where the game will start of flying round the asteroids.

Obviously things vary depending on the speed/jousting power and other factors of the opponents list.

My main goal will be to avoid lanes for the opponent to catch me.

RCC sounds good but I am going to try my list and if i feel there was a occasion RCC could be usful I will definitly try it. Leia I think will be usefull as a sloop changes your direction which helps out manouver the opposing player as a 3 sloop bank boost puts han in a weird position, it gets even wierder if you have the option to lando boost first then sloop then focus.

If you have seen the value of Kanaan and R2D2 with inertial dampeners in Extended, we could do something similar. If you have extra points, you could always throw Saw G and R2D2 together, so you take a shield for crits, and then regen shield.

From my flying of the list, I just never needed to turn around, I always placed rocks in a circular position, and then flew opposite of my opponent (outside/inside) to value off trick shot while gaining an extra defensive die on the return volley, I would also keep Lando slightly further out so he took range 3 shots, and when Han got badly damaged, I would push Han straight and Lando banks in so they swap positions and the shielded ship is now the closer range shot.

RCC is a beast, especially when you realize you flew too far from obstacles and needed to create one, or just to shake an interceptor or swarm off your ***.

Biggest problem I noticed with the list was Lando felt weak after Han went down. Couple options, throwing some missiles to give him a punch or you can strip both down to bare minimums and fit an A wing or Y wing in the list for another arc

I like Han with

R2, Leia, TrickShot, RCC

and Lando with

Nien, Trickshot, Titel, RCC, and if you like IonMissiles.

199 pts

Leia is quite useful. You can e.g. 4K, Cargo and TrickShot...

I don’t feel like needing a bid at all.

Lando alone with his double-modded shots offers quite a punch.
