I've got a causal torlement coming up tomorrow, and I've decided to go Republic for the first time in a while, I'm want to run a Delta-7B, Arc-170 and Y Wing (mostly because I've given them a plo koon repaint), but I'm not sure what works best on them:

Mace Windu (45)
Foresight (4)
C1-10P (7)
Delta-7B (18)

Ship total: 74 Half Points: 37 Threshold: 3

"Matchstick" (43)
Crack Shot (1)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Veteran Turret Gunner (8)

Ship total: 57 Half Points: 29 Threshold: 4

"Wolffe" (50)
Snap Shot (8)
C-3PO (Republic) (8)
Clone Commander Cody (3)

Ship total: 69 Half Points: 35 Threshold: 5


Total: 200

Would this work? Any improvements needed?

I kinda see where you're going. All Init 4, some nice tricks (kinda all the new tricks). My issue is that Matchstick is a rather expensive ship, both in base price, and with Veteran Turret Gunner. Not saying it needs to be cut, but if running Matchstick like this, I think you'll need R4 Astromech. Not being able to remove stress reasonably on a ship this expensive seems like a major risk.

Now, there aren't many points to cut. Crack Shot is one point, and the other? Well, either C1-10P down to a generic R2 would work, or cutting Foresight for Heightened Perception (Mace being able to pop up to Init 7 when needed--usually more on the 2nd rather than 1st round of combat--is pretty handy).

Cutting C-3PO entirely gets a lot of points. Defensive rerolls have seemed surprisingly effective to me on a bunch of ships, but 3PO is still an expensive upgrade in a list without a lot of room, so could easily be worth considering cutting.

There's more wiggle room if giving up Matchstick. Broadside with R4 Astromech and Ion Turret is 43 points, compared to the 57 on Matchstick. Broadside is an effective ICT sniper with his pilot ability. If C-3PO is also cut, there's a tonne of space left. You could swap from Mace to Obi or Anakin. Not sure if I'd keep Foresight. It could be swapped for Sense, but a 7-point bid in a more casual tournament is probably enough to move last with Anakin.

There's also a list with similar ships I was reading about on the Stay On The Leader blog: http://stayontheleader.blogspot.com/2019/10/hyperspace-trial-runner-up-iq-games.html

• Obi Wan Kenobi - Delta 7B, C1-10P
• Broadside - Ion Cannon Turret, R4 Astromech
• 104th Squadron Pilot
• 104th Squadron Pilot

This is more of a generic efficiency list with almost no toys, but still seems good. Lots of firing arcs from the 104ths and Broadside, lots of health. Obi-Wan has the ace potential, as well as jams once Chopper's charges are spent.

You probably don't have two Plo ARCs, though 😛

Fig is pretty spot on there.

I'll add a resounding yes for R4 on Matchstick, being able to max out on rerolls with a 4k is nice. A barrel roll is neat too, if you can pass him a focus, a la Plo....

I'd think about Dorsal, to make him cheaper and max his damage. If Ion is required, then Broadside is easy no.1. Keep him light as a feather and spend the rest elsewhere.

I'm not convinced the list will do that well without either a 4th ship or a higher Init Jedi. The latter can be helped by Heightened Perception on Mace, it's possibly essential here and a great suggestion. It doesn't help with positioning though, which is really important with 3 ship lists.

Yeah, I should have said something to that end. Generally, it's better to get an extra ship than to have heavily-loaded ships which aren't Init 5/6.

My brief experience is that C-3PO isn't worth the points. I tried to combo him with R4-P44 on Odd Ball. Too many points for what I got out of them especially with how I flew.

What about:

Anakin Skywalker (62)
C1-10P (7)
Delta-7B (20)

Ship total: 89 Half Points: 45 Threshold: 3

"Broadside" (36)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R4 Astromech (2)

Ship total: 43 Half Points: 22 Threshold: 4

"Wolffe" (50)
Snap Shot (8)
Clone Commander Cody (3)

Ship total: 61 Half Points: 31 Threshold: 5


Total: 193

Or

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
C1-10P (7)
Delta-7B (19)

Ship total: 73 Half Points: 37 Threshold: 3

"Broadside" (36)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Ship total: 41 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 4

Squad Seven Veteran (46)
Snap Shot (8)
Clone Commander Cody (3)

Ship total: 57 Half Points: 29 Threshold: 5

"Tucker" (29)
Ship total: 29 Half Points: 15 Threshold: 3


Total: 200

Having Obi matched with Matchstick is probably your best starting point. Obi's ability lets matchstick get a focus on both shots, combined with his reroll ability is very powerful.

"Matchstick" (43)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Veteran Turret Gunner (8)

104th Battalion Pilot (42)

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Luminara Unduli (43)
C1-10P (7)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (3)
Total: 200

I've played against this Lumi, and it is annoying AF. She jams your focus, then uses her ability, all while you really just want to kill a bigger threat like Matchstick.

Ion Broadside in for the ARC is a nice squad as well.
