Has a Bobba Fett list ever won a tournament?

many have tried and most have failed to make a winning list with Bobba Fett.

Fettigator (Bobba Fett + Navigator) has recently gotten a bit of discussion on these threads. Only time will tell if its good enough to win 100pt tournaments.

I cant help thinking that future expansions will make Fett viable in a winning list.

What Fett based list have you seen or played that is capable of beating the field?

ok so im gonna have a go at an original-ish squad that uses fett. feedback/suggestions are welcome.



Bobba Fett + Navigator + Expert Handling + Proton Bombs + Ion Cannon


2x Sabre Squadron + PTL

You have Navigator listed twice ;)

I like the list (I'm always a fan of Sabers w/ PTL). I'm not sure about the Ion Cannon.

Have you considered adding a little survivability to the Sabers? You could consider dropping the bombs and Ion Cannon to add shields to both Sabers.

Edit: You know, I might just try that list out:

Bobba Fett w/ Navigator, Expert Handling

Saber Squadron Pilot w/ PTL, Shield Upgrade

Saber Squadron Pilot w/ PTL, Shield Upgrade

oops, edit made.

yeah i wasnt sure what to do with those extra 8pts to be honest. could even go with stealth devices on each intercepter and add a seismic charge to fett :)

something else i was thinking of is upgrading the intercepters to at least one name pilot :)

how about this version...

Bobba Fett + Navigator + Expert Handling

Soontir Fel + PTL

Turr Phennir + Veteran Instincts

8, 9, 9 pilots skills is decent against any squad.

TBH, from running Fett a few times, I do wonder is Veteran Instincts are a must. Everytime I've taken him, I've ended up against an Elite Rebel squadron and all his abilities were next to pointless as they moved after me.

Interesting - that will give you very late actions, meaning Soontir can boost/barrel roll or turtle as the situation requires it. I've never had much success with Turr w/ VI, personally - I always find that he gets lit up early on the approach.

That said, I'd love to see how you do with it!

Im sceptical of the Fetigator build to be honest, I see the big ships being about their strength and weaponry rather than maneuverability. I've run it a few times and it just doesnt work out as well as it sounds like it should. Better give Boba a gunner or a Auto Blaster and some better support.

I like this build. It has lots of options in attack and defense. I will be running it at our next tourney. TL and focus for attack, with an extra focus for defense. Or Evade and Focus for great defense with a focus for attack.

If you do not PtL, (which you only do when needed, not every turn) you still have 2 focus.

I used Boba Fett w/ Navigator, Expert Handling and Auto Blaster over the weekend and was very disappointed. Part of it was some poor flying. I guess I expected him to perform much better though.

pretty cool squad. plz lmk how it goes.

recon specialist > navigator on the slave1 it seams. having double focus is really good. it gives u the option of defending with focus versus two attacks in the same turn - or hitting on offense then still getting a focus on defense - or as u mentioned getting a stress for all out defense and going focus+focus+evade. nice.

It is a very flexible build. In theory, it should do well, I'll let you know how it flies. I think Navigator maybe works better on the Shuttle or YT-1300, where it can be supplemented with another crew member.
