What do you guys think of this Rebel squad?

Han Solo (50)
Upgrades: Chewbacca (4)
Tycho Celchu (29)
Upgrades: Push the Limit (3)
Rookie Pilot (21)
I've been lucky with it in the limited amount of testing I've put it through, but I think the emphasis might've been on "luck". :) Think it could hold up to the lists people will be bringing to Regionals?
Thanks!

I love gunner on Han, I think you should find points for him.

Yeah, I'd try to get a gunner and/or marksmanship for han. That squads also 107 points.

i like 2x rookie pilots in support of han. u get to beef one up with r2d2 and maybe a shield upgrade :) or u can beef up han with gunner and marksmanship.

Ok, I made some big changes here:

=================
Han-centric Squad
=================
This build is based on Han's re-rolls. Gunner AND Marksmanship bolster that. A couple of rookie X-Wings are flying escort and one of them has R2D2.
100 points
Pilots
------
Han Solo (54)
Upgrades: Marksmanship (3), Gunner (5)
Rookie Pilot (25)
Upgrades: R2-D2 (4)
Rookie Pilot (21)

This one does seem stronger overall. My original is fun because it has the thematic bonus of Han & Chewie. Also it was fun to throw Tycho around at random with PTL and no stress. I'll give this variation a go and let you know how it works out. Thanks for the comments!

I like this much better. Another option would you might want to think about would be to take out R2D2 and replace him with one of the following: Chewy crew on falcon, Cluster or Concussion missles on falcon, Shield or engine upgrade, Millenium Falcon title + astromechs

Tried this list out over the weekend and won against an Imperial squad consisting of:

Bounty Hunter w/ Gunner

Darth Vader w/ Swarm & Concussion Missles

Night beast

Academy Pilot

I really like how it plays. At first I kept forgetting to use Marksmanship as an action *duh*. I didn't miss Chewie or Tycho as much as I thought I would. Thanks again for the suggestions.
