I've recently started flying Rebel after being a long-time Imp.

My Brother has just given me a Falcon and new B. I have an old B.

So here we go.

Thoughts?

You don't need Engine Upgrade on Lando.

You've got loads of blues with Nien, and Lando wants to be taking blues as much as possible for his ability.

If you need to boost, just take the stress and remove it next turn anyway.

With that in mind, it's mad that you can get these three in a list together with Leia.

I'd use the points saved on Engine Upgrade to either take the title on the Falcon, which is nice and cheap now and can boost your defensive economy if you need it, or to give both B-Wings the new s-foils.

At the very least, Ten really wants the s-foils. The ability to get red lock works so well with his ability.

I don't know whether you're planning to play unrestricted or using the Hyperspace format rules, but if you're not using Hyperspace I'd also think about putting Autoblasters and Marksmanship on Braylen. If Lando gives him the lock, while he stresses himself for a focus he can deliver a really potent double tap.

I agree that Lando doesn't need engine upgrade. Cannons and foils are a good alternate for the points. The title for the falcon is a good use of points too. Personally I like Jyn Crew (Extended only) with B wings to add to their survivability and lets Ten take 'focus' evade every turn if he wants

Thanks guys.

No idea about how the Falcon flies other than facing it, so I welcome the thoughts.

I'm trying a Hyperspace list, so if it works I could take it anywhere.

Lando - Leia, Nien and Title (though I'm not sure about the title myself just from the card)

Yeah, the title is pretty situational. It's basically there to make use of Lando's high initiative to give you options. If Lando activates after a bunch of lower I ships have gone, and you can see that they're all going to get shots, then you give Lando his own extra action and focus evade.

The defensive rerolls will help keep him alive.

If Lando is only getting shot once, give the action away and don't bother with the evade.

It's situational, but it can be very useful. If you'd rather spend the points on something attacking, that's fair enough.

The one thing I would say is that if you're going to give one of the Bwings a cannon, make it Braylen.

He's better with the double tap. If Braylen takes a lock with his action, Lando can give him a focus action which Braylen can link into the red roll. Fail it, and you still get the stress. Braylen now has a lock to spend on the second shot from the S-foils, re-rolls on both shots and a focus on one of them.

Ten can't get re-rolls if you spend the lock on the double tap.

If you're not taking the Falcon title, I'd probably use the points for S-foils on both and Autoblasters on Braylen.

Ten wants the S-foils to give him access to the red lock and evade actions, which give him instant double mods on attack or defence as needed, and Braylen wants them to be able to double tap.

You lose the control element of the Ion Cannon this way, but honestly given the setup you have with Braylen I'd say you'd want to take the extra damage anyway. Braylen doesn't mind getting to range 1. He's going to get focused down and he's going to die, but that's fine. He'll do a lot of damage before he does.

The hard part is going to be getting Braylen in close while keeping Lando close enough to support, but also to get a range 3 shot on the same target. Even if all Lando does is get them to spend a token, he's done his job. Braylen double tapping on a token less target is going to be disgusting. Ten is just there for clean up.

It's just a shame you can't use the two spare points to give Braylen Marksmanship and Ten Crack Shot. You could maybe take FCS on Ten? The 2 point bid won't do much, and FCS maybe lets you save the lock so that you can perform a red maneuver next turn (assuming Ten can burn his stress) when Leia's not up.

Again, situational but it could be pretty clutch.

So last night I played my first two games in 2020, and my first for a couple of months, and my first time flying the Falcon!

Lando - Leia, Nien

Tenn - Foils

Braylen - Foils, Autoblaster

First game - Ten, Gina, Thane

Won that one with Lando still flying around fairly fresh.

Second game - Resistance AAAAA

Lost but it was close. Botched the initial engagement and got swarmed. Sure, the A's rolled really well (**** Heroic), but I got it down to a full A and a half A. Judging it better initially would have given me that one I think.

Really enjoyed the list, so big tick straight off. The Bs got stuck in whilst Lando kited and got some good modded shots off. Stabilised foils are good stuff. Not so fussed about the cannon.

Might go Gina/Ten in the future to boost the cannon shot and get a second I5 in the list. But overall very happy
