How does this Solo build look?

By Deadshane, in Army Building

Lots of effective firepower. Its a little vanilla, but R2 seems to have decent synergy with the build and Solo.

I like the concept, even if Han has a little bit of hard time at the moment.

I would suggest a few things though:

1. You will have issues with Activation control. If you allready take a Mark 2, I'd run it with a relais, put an HQ uplink on the Veterans and play thm conservativly. The extra order and the relais helps quite a bit in a lot of Rebel concepts. I also would run a relais on R2 and use his 3-Pip instead of Notorios Scoundrels.

2. The list will struggle to get a lot of milage out of the Targeting Arrays and Aggressive Tactics. Without the Relais, most of the command cards you have chosen won't even give an order to the ATRTs.

3. The ATRTs will take a lot of damage in spite of Armor. I'd drop one of the Z6 to improve the other quality activations and to take 2 Repair droids on the Rebel Troopers.

4. I'd put offensive push on both chewie and Han to get some more milage out of teamwork. That way you'll get free aim tokens in 3 turns with both Han and Chewie if you include sorry about the Mess.

5. I would try to get in a 10th activation, because Han and Chewie need to pull off some back to back activations to compensate for their disadvantages over other commanders.

6. I tend not to use Emergency stims on Chewie after the point increase. The 2 wounds often do not make such a huge difference due to his defence dice. I also don't know if C3 will actually have good targets to buff. Han and Chewie are usually good on their own. Most of your other Trooper only have Courage 1 and won't like the suppression token.

1. Correct, put the HQ uplink on the vets because they issue an order to the MKII for free. Better yet, upgrade the MKII to a Laser Turret.

2. I would remove LTA from the AT-RTs as well as Aggressive Tactics because it isn't worth it for rebels.

3. I would disregard, you have R2

4. Duck and cover for han. Like no question. Maybe hunter for chewie

5. I don't think you need to do this

6. drop E. Stims in a heartbeat. give han strict orders

In case that you have had your head in the sand with regards to the earlier points here , mk2s can no longer get Comms relay

Well, at the time I wrote the post it was still possible... and technically it still works 5 more days. 😉

After much deliberation...I find Solo to be the best commander for this type of build.

I think Ive made it better though...

2nd turn on the onset is easiest...Two turns in fact.

Disrupt opponent with CoP turn 1...3 vehicles with free aim. Turn 2...let your opponent have it with 4 vehicles free aim with Assault.

Repair damage with smoked troopers behind walkers for cover.

If things get close and dirty...Han and SX's.

All order cards except SatM can order vehicles. You start with the high pip cards in case vehicles get destroyed. Keep using relays!
