I was one of those people having a blast with Ani, Mace and 2 Golds before they were priced out. I've been having a blast with Ric and thought he would make a decent replacement as a regenerating ace. Tell me why I'm wrong. 😁 Drop the SU if you want a bid.

I kinda think I'd drop Juke for cheaper goodies like Fire Control System (for mostly passive offensive and defensive dice mods) and maybe Crack Shot or Predator and bid. Or maybe FCS & Lone Wolf.

Anyhow, there's no real reason why the list wouldn't be at least OK. Just little tweaks according to taste.

Having flown a lot of Ric I find Juke works well on him, especially with good blockers on the table like the Torrents. Lone Wolf and Outmaneuver are also both good.

For the bid I'd probably drop to Lone Wolf on him and/or drop the SU on Anakin.

I have been playing around with something similar, while the Torrents are great I opted for a little more punch.

Ric: Outmaneuver, Adv Sens, R2 Astro, Proton Torps (75)

Anakin: CLT, R5 Astro (71)

104th Battalion ARC-170: (42)

(188)

I played Obi and Anakin this weekend and man oh man did I underestimate it. It’s not going to destroy you but it’s going to hit, run, and recover damage. Great list to pickup MOV wins. I see yours in a similar way, but those torrents will probably go and if Ric gets blocked our caught under multiple arcs, kiss him goodbye.

I should also mention that 199 is not a great bid for Ani these days.*

Darth Wrath, your list is solid and Ani is one of the best aces in the game (IMHO). I like juke on Ric, even with the points increase. I don't have any experience flying torrents (I ran an ARC with my 2 Delta 7's), but i could see them doing work and making for a good decoy. I agree that you do need a bigger bid to get the most out of Ani, I'd drop the SU for a 9pt bid
