All 4 ships have regen. Take some hits, buzz off regen, turn around. Worked like a charm. Ric got taken to 1 hull, ran and regened back above half pts. Dinee regened both shields. Obi regened a hull. Lost 1 ship (Obi on last shot of game) but still won handily on points.

Not sure if I like outmaneuver Ric. Maybe sense obi? or two intimidations? Or 3 predators on naboos?

Sense Obi, Daredevil Ric

Shut the front door.

N-1s are bad, Obi Wan is obviously doing all the work. Somehow.

Hats off to you, sir.

I've always ran Ric with Daredevil, but that was because he had Plo as a wingmate to give him a focus. Without Plo, he is just tossing naked dice, which is the problem I have with outmaneuver on him. Its not that Outmaneuver did not trigger, its just I have to boost or barrel most of the time to get it to trigger leaving him naked mods just like Daredevil. Only benefit of daredevil is he gets back into the fight quicker vs Outmaneuver that can make your naked attacks a bit more successful.

Sense is definitely up for consideration, but I think Im gonna try some different upgrades before resorting to the default.

Intimidation Anakin and Dinee seems good. Or maybe on Ric who is more susceptible to blocks, as it will help the two dice attacks out. Most people try to block the Naboos to prevent the evade, so Intimidation gives my entire list a boost when that happens.

Only a couple online games and 1 real game so far against a casual list of chewie,finn,greer,red squad t70 but I did see the potential. Anakin one shot Finn with APT. Obi worked Chewie all game. Dinee was a big distraction. Ric was public enemy no.1 and didnt do a lot on offense as he was mostly trying to stay alive - and succeeded. Dinee's ability triggered once and it was HUGE! She was on 1 hull left, and her and greer both did a 3 speed. Greer range 1 with a focus rolls 3 eyeballs, cant spend the focus. Dinee lives!

The thing about Daredevil is that maybe it gets you out of the 3-speeds. Pull a 5-straight and hard-boost, which gets the extra die more likely. I dunno. I've got half a mind to just take Crack Shot for the cheaps. Yeah... there's a big lack of crack shot on those unfilled talent slots.

Dinee, I dunno, maybe I'd rather have Broadside, but seems fine.

I did play against a well flown 4 N-1 list a little while ago and it had enough going on to make it an awkward proposition. I mean, I did lose with a strong squad of my own :D

But the Ric, Dinee double team is quite an ability combo. Did seem that dial and board state made it hard to keep that dilemma going on long enough to do significant damage to a squad, but could very possibly be worked into a different dynamic quite nicely.

Ani's ProTorps secured his points...

While his extra durability fended off a slightly disappointing Vader...

Played against a Sense Obi and an N-1 Intimidation Anakin. His repositioning is just mean. Great blocker.

Run the same a few times, was entertaining. I ended up playing and having more success with this though: 7b Obi + Ric + Ani + Torrent + Torrent

Tried something different. Dropping outmaneuver for daredevil Ric, and apt on anakin gave me plo with chopper, no config.

Vs predator fenn, ion vtg Kavil, Dalen kimo.

Slow rolled ani with 1 straight, fooling fenn into thinking he was going fast. Plo tossed anakin the evade from chops. Obi flank kavil. I lose a shield on ric, and get 1 dmg through on fenn with anakin at range 2.

Next round the jamming begins. For the rest of the game fenn has zero tokens. I go hard for kavil and eliminate him, but he gets ric to 1 hull who zooms off for regen. Plo still jamming fenn while anakin and obi work to get shots and eventually get him. Opponent calls game after fenn is dead. Obi untouched, anakin regened back his shields. Plo was untouched. 0pts for opponent.

Game 2 was vs a weird list with snapshot pure sabaac, wampa, gideon, mauler, and rhymer with apt.

I lost this game but it wasnt the lists fault. It was just the way the dice went. I set up a perfect kill. Flew ric and plo over his squad with 5 straights and landed range 1 of wampa. Obi came from behind and had range 1 bullseye with lock on wampa. Wampa took 1 dmg that round. Meanwhile I toss about 20 green dice and sitting on force tokens and roll 1 or 2 paint and anakin is taken to 1 hull remaining and ric loses shields. Lol. And thats with my evade!

It was just hard to recover. In the meantime wampa is kturning firing naked dice and rolls 3 hits and my obi wan with full force takes 2 dmg. I cant keep up with dice variance in this game. Next round, wampa is stressed and hard 1s. I get another range 1 on wampa with obi, a range 1 with plo, and range 2 with anakin and he takes 0 dmg.

In the entire game i did 1 dmg to wampa and 1 dmg to gideon, lol. Meanwhile he is slooping with sabaac and rolling 3 hits with snap shot. Then firing naked with sabaac and getting 2 hits and a crit. Craziness.

I like the list and will continue to fly it. Plo with chopper seems better than dinee. I miss the APT on anakin though.
