Han vs. Fett

By BigDogg, in X-Wing Battle Reports

First game with some wave 3 stuff in it. I was running 100 points of Rebels and my 8 Year old had 100 points of Imperials. My rebel squadron was pretty simple:

Han Solo - YT-1300

  • - Push The Limit (3)
    - Chewbacca (4)
  • - Gunner (5)
    - Shield Upgrade (4)
  • - Millennium Falcon (1)
    • Total : 63

Ibtisam - B-wing

  • - Autoblaster (5)
    - Shield Upgrade (4)
  • • Total : 37


My 8 year old took:

Boba Fett - Firespray-31

  • Expose (4)
    Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)
  • Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
    Mercenary Copilot (2)
  • Stealth Device (3)
    Slave 1 (0)
  • • Total : 61

Captain Kagi - Lambda-Class Shuttle (27)

  • Autoblaster (5)
    Fire-Control System (2)
  • Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
    ST-321 (3)
  • • Total : 39


It went well at first. I concentrated fire on the Lambda and managed to strip her shields. I had her down to 2 hull points. Boba had TL the B-wing and his Adv. Proton Torp. hit with all 5 and then Kagi finished it off at close range. 9 perfect hits and the B-wing was destroyed but he than found out about the Lambda's weak maneuver dial and ended up flying off the table. At this point we were about even and I figured it would come down to a slug-fest between the two classic rivals. I figured his dice rolling luck was thru for the game but boy was I wrong. No matter how I juked the Falcon around he lined up a shot and had almost 100% accuracy. I manged to strip his shields but alas, it was not to be this day, as Han Solo bit the dust. I then had to endure my kid taking a victory lap around the game store. I may have to work on his sportsmanship skills a bit.


One thing I took from the game is that no matter how good a ship may appear stat wise. It don't mean nothing if you can;t maneuver it well. Both the B-wing and the Lambda have awful dials. I spent most of the game with the B-wing in the “Red” and that just isn't good. Will have to practice more just flying it around the table and thru obstacles.

The b wing isn't that bad. Just need to get used to how she handled

But Ibtisam is supposed to be "in the red" She's best that way. That said, she's meant (I think) to sit back as a slow moving Heavy Laser platform, not up close trying to be undodgeable. Try her with Heavy Laser and PTL.

Haven't gotten the Lambda to work yet, but the guy that passes Trigger Locks can be amazing.

If I had it to do over I would change my list so:

Han Solo - YT-1300

  • Chewbacca (4)
  • Gunner (5)
  • Shield Upgrade (4)
  • Millennium Falcon (1)
  • Squad Leader (2)
  • Total : 62

Ibtisam - B-wing

  • Push The Limit (3)
  • Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
  • Total : 38

I would use VI or adrenaline rush. Ptl isn't great on ibi since green maneuvers are low. Elusiveness compliments her well too. You would rather not stress and move normal than stress and not need to

Also squad lead isn't great on han since he needs his evade action,

Were you thinking swarm tactics?

I'd use marksmanship on Han and gunner. Very very tough to not get a 3 hit roll, often with a crit
