I've been building squads and reviewing my old squads in order to play again. I was building a squad with Han in Carbonite and General Solo, but he's not half points in the squad builder. He 'Counts As' Han Solo, even though Han in Carbonite uses "name contains Han Solo." Obviously it's been a while, but I thought Counts As makes a character count as a character with a certain name for all game effects, which I would think would include General Solo.
A little help here would be hot.

Counts as doesn't mean their name contains the character's name who they count as. It's mostly for squad building; you can't have Han Solo and General Solo in a squad together, because General solo Counts as Han solo.
Some game effects do trigger off "Counts as" (example, Bane's CE states "An ally who counts as Zannah gains Intuition." )
For 'name contains" the character must have the exact name, phrase, and spacing in their title to trigger. The only way around this is a few abilities that state by having the ability, its implied the character's name also contains the phrase. This is mostly use for a few species abilities and others like Pirate and Pilot

Counts as Han Solo means they're the same character for the purposes of Unique.
"Counts as a character named Han Solo" is the wording you would need in order to count as "a character whose name contains Han Solo."
Only a few characters use that wording.

Thanks guys. I've been out of the game for like 9 years.
I guess they didn't want General Solo being 24 points. LOL
