I’ve been messing around on FlyCasual with lists I could never fly IRL and came across a gem.

5x Rebel Scouts

Rebel Scout with Moldy Crow

Six HWKs is a riot! Focus->rotate and lock->rotate gives you mods and time on target similar to 5 RZ-2s but with more health, plus the focus reserves on Moldy Crow are always a bonus. I had so much fun with this list I actually considered buying 5 more HWKs.

Make that a 'Cast of Hawks adopts a Crow' 😜

Unlimited proxy is one of the nice benefits of virtual games and I see what you mean about time on target + health.

Moldy is still pretty expensive though, isn't it? I wonder if an asymetrical sprinkling of crew could be a better use of points... Cassian, maybe an Informant, a couple bombs+Sabine; there's really a lot to work with, especially in Rebels.

According to my squad builder the original list has two points left over, you could straight add in Jyn Erso! I imagine an Evade now and then for the crow could carry it a good ways 🙂

I've played 6 HWKs some in FlyCasual. It's surprisingly fun. My variant on it was 6 with Engine Upgrades, and Leia rides one of them.

• Boosting turrets is always good, even if it's only a 2-dice one.
• Putting everyone on White stops with Leia is also really potent. Once the battlefield is kind of clogged up and everyone is bumping, going to white stall Focus -> Rotate is going to get you a lot of Range 1 shots against untokened enemies.

Nice! I like @theBitterFig's suggestions too.
