I'm looking to clean up my storage & transport options and stop parading cardboard needlesly. So can anyone tell me what's the (current) max shields and charges that a faction can deploy at standard, extended 200 pts squads?

Edit, will keep up count here:

- Shields: 23 republic

- Charges: 39? Empire

5 Tie bombers with Barrage Rockets and Seismic charges while 2 of them also has Proton Bombs is 39 charges. Not sure if it's max but should be close to.

One of the first things I noticed about 2nd edition was that I didn't have enough shields for my Z-95 Headhunters. A squad of eight would need 16 shields, that must be close to the most you'll need.

Correction: First Order could take 18 pretty easily.

I only bring specific lists. The image below showsmy Feldherr inserts, with 6 complete lists for both formats. Including all tokens, of course. 5A, ReyCovaKaz, 2 different Imperial Aces lists, Imperial Alpha, Sloaneswarm. I could fit 4T70, too, if I wanted.

Max Shields is 22, I think. 4 G1A Starfighters w/ shield upgrades and an Autopilot Drone.

5 BTL-Bs with Shield Upgrade and one without gives you 23.

So that's it: 23 shields and 39 charges?

You are a good person. Please keep doing you things.

English is not my native language, so I'n not sure if this was sarcastic or not... I'll assume the best and say thank you (perhaps?)

Blail enjoys efficiency from what I can tell. What you're tallying lends really strongly to that by making plain the maximum that is currently likely to be needed of something by one player for a match. So yes, I think it was a complement.

That's 53 total health. That's pretty insane. Is that as much health as you can even get in a game? Hard to imagine much more. The fact that they have all that with a defense die and near-crit-immunity on top of 4 shields each makes this beyond crazy levels of tankiness.

And with 12 attack dice, it's kind of average-to-almost-good there too.

Is this actually a sneaky good list?

Edit: 6 Y-Wings with Hull takes you up to 54 total health. What tops that?

It’s fine, but anything with a mid or high initiative will dodge arcs and pick them off without turrets to spread out their arc coverage.

I'd wager it's not nearly as horrible to play against as 5 Ion BTL-Bs with bombs.

Crymorah Goon
Crymorah Goon
Crymorah Goon + Hull Upgrade
Crymorah Goon + Hull Upgrade
Autopilot Drone
Trandoshan Slaver + Hull Upgrade + Hound's Tooth
Nashtah Pup

This is 55 health (56 if you count the shield that the pup loses on deployment)
