I’d keep ‘em cheap and not put Deadman’s on them, because that could easily defeat the point of having ablative weenies to start with. Also get a Squad Leader dummy in there to support the C H O N K Y B O S S . And make sure he has adequate C H A W N K!

If they are shooting at the Zeds then they are doing their job. If the shoot at xizor, the zeds can give them reason enough to make long shots, giving Xizor some range bonus maybe.

It’s all about the choices.

The version I tried out was 2x Ion Y-Wings, and Zuckuss with Predator. The Z-Man was fun, but not really worthwhile. Y-Wings are interesting little beasts, able to plink away damage. But maybe 3 Y-Wings would be a little damage-light.

Another concept: Three. Cartel. Marauders. Almost like a reverse 4-ship Biggs list. The Marauders have dials close enough to our Hefty Boi, but also substantial offense.

Third idea: Serissu. She keeps the greens good with rerolls, Laetin A'shera is the dude with Evade tokens for days, and just a Y-Wing to sponge? Ys have a lot of health for their cost...

The problem, as always, with Xizor is that there's no incentive to let him shove damage off on his minions, rather than just shooting the minions first.

If you make Xizor too expensive, you can't get enough meat shields. I had very good games with Xizor in 1st ed. I have a list I have been wanting to try:

Fly the Z's as blockers and try to get the Torpedoes off early.
