Hello !

I've been playing with two variation of a Republic for a few weeks, and I still don't know wich one's the best for an upcoming tournament.

The core of the list consist of Sinker/ 2 GST/ CLT Obi-Wan, wich leaves 45 points to play with.

The two variants is either Ric Olié /w Daredevil, or Broadside w/ ICT and Cody.

Ric brings a much needed pseudo-3 dice primary, and a second I5, but even with Daredevil I've found the lack of K-Turn meens he can have a hard time having a good time on target in the mid-end game.

Broadside is probably the most accurate ion dealer of the game, an ionised ship is perfect to compensate the crappy dial of the Torrents and helping Obi-Wan to align the bullseye, Cody is there so his shots are never wasted, he's perfect for finishing a 1-HP ship, and if he happens to not have a target with his ICT he can still use Sinker's reroll with his primary. But he's still a Y-wing, predictable as ***** and he melts under focus fire. And with an ICT and two GST, that's 3 ships out of 5 who will probably push only 1 damage each each turn.

Do you have any thoughts on that ?

I'd use Ric and try to shave enough points to staple a Juke on him. At the very least that gives you two high value targets and threats.

I like Broadside/Cody/ICT but he benefits imo being the weakest link in an aces list so it can circle the scrum and plink.
