I'm thinking about trying a different kind of Falcon build for my upcoming regionals besides the typical HSF. What do you guys think?

Chewbacca

+Gunner

Wedge

+Stealth Device

Rookie Pilot

Thoughts?

I faced a similiar squad at a regional……tough to beat.

Stealth device on Wedge probably won't last long enough to even make a difference. All shots will be going to Wedge to begin with, since he is the main threat. Adding one very temporary defense dice on a ship with only two evade to begin with will most likely be a waste of those points. I suggest using swarm tactics on Wedge and Draw their Fire and MF on Chewie. Keep Wedge near Chewie and soak up a crit or two off of Wedge.

draw their fire on chewie would help quite a bit.

I'm a fan of Biggs, so Here's a variation to what you have.

Chewie + Draw there fire

Biggs

Wedge + Swarm Tactics

You have 1 pt to work with. I would go with the Falcon title for Chewie.

The nice thing about this list is having Biggs and Chewie both move on 5. It really does help to have those two go at the same time. Then with Swarm tactics on Wedge, your shooting at 9, 9, 5 which is still very good. Draw your fire and Chewie works wonders, and it helps to keep Wedge in the game longer.

nice build Mr F. ive have played something very similar in the past. wedge goes hunting while biggs/chewie takes the heat.

I'm actually trying to fine tune a "odd" falcon build myself.

Lando- Falcon title, Luke (CP), Chewbacca (CP), concussion miss
Wedge- R2D2, shield up, Vet Insticts.

the set up focuses on Lando moving in and Wedge skimming the edge turn 1 so he can join the action around turn 3. my opponate then has to either focus on the falcon or focus on mauvering to my side of the field, instead of setting up a formation or boxing in wedge mid field. After the start plays out the duos job is to form up and stick close to each other and focus fire targets.

its risky to do a 2 ship build, with on big and one little, but hey, never know till you try.

Well if you really want sonething conpetitive, try a double YT-1300 build perhaps, except of xourse you don't have 2. Put some gunners on them and they are really hard to play against!

I agree with the swarm tactics idea, but i feel like having a falcon without gunner is gimping it severely. Is it just me? Also, biggs is the guy that makes everyone attack him correct? Why would I want to fly an xwing next to a falcon whos only job is to die? That falcon can take so much damage its crazy, why lose an xwing early for no good reason? If i could have r2f2+shields or something on biggs then i could see it being worth it.

Well this is a really powerful list, Biggs keeps fire away from your heavy hitters, that's obviously what he is there for in every list. So you lose him instead of losing Wedge. The problem is like you say, you don't have the points for a Gunner left. The rest is a really good combo though.

so the question is, what is more important? Biggs or Gunner?
