I vote Skybuck even it's not the most optimized version these days in my humble opinion.

I'm voting Skybuck, but I think it's closer than most probably realize. Aves shutting down boardwide-swap is a pretty big deal. With Marn bringing in Ewok, Mouse, Tusken Raider the activations are even to start. Yobuck still hits hard, but isn't nearly as hard to track down.

voting Skybuck.



Boardwide swap isn't necessarily needed in this case. by bringing aves, the HC severly hinder their attack prowess. U just tow up with R2, then later base R2 with skyguy, then send Yobuck on a run through the enemy. Kill a bunch of the scrubs, and do 20 to both dash and mira if you can, or just one if it isn't a good spot for it. Hopefully you can get where they can't shoot back right away or if they do they are way out of position.

If yobuck survives to get a second turn, it is really game over, but assuming the worst and he doesn't, you just tow in ani and smush the one attacker that has taken damage (preferably dash) and then hope to have mira miss (or make the LS defense save). If sky guy lives, you are again golden. skybuck dash should have been able to work through jarael by now, plus maybe the kajidi or something else. Assuming the worst and he dies, then you still have your dash plus scrubs to their few remaining guys (so you should outact and be able to finish off Mira and anyone else end the party.

And that is without boardwide swap. If any of your guys live to the next round, you can always swap them out at the top of the round (or let them attack again)

Very uphill battle for HC IMO

Yeah, it should have a mouse instead of one of the rodians (and maybe a second uggie). I couldn't recall the exact build I used for gencon (and couldn't find a tourney report) when TJ was asking me about the squad. The only one I had saved was the IN regional winning one with Marn

My vote is Rebels. Small strafes to thin out the herd then drop in hard after it's even.

Kybuck vs Hutt Cartel

I played this solo. Played on Theed. Kybuck on the left. HC on the right. Brought in ewok,tusken, mouse for HC as well as Aves (as hutts mentioned) to even up acts and stop the boardwide swap. Rd 1 the HC positioned mira/dash/others in the little room with the one wide hallway with the noble out front. Jarael and a couple others in the room further down the map. Jareal makes the break for gambit late in the round. Kubuck takes a late gallop to kill a few scrubs (rodian uggie, gran, and put 20 on the kajidi and mira). Takes 80 on AoOs. Mira was the last to go in the round and missed an attack on kybuck (needing 10s with FPRR) to drop him to 60. Gambit for Jarael.

Rd 2
HC wins init, Mira goes looking for a crit to try and kill kybuck, hits both but no crits, dropping kybuck to 20. Kybuck swaps out back to R2, and the game is afoot. Swapped in rodian dies, and some more non-stuff. HC picks off another rodian, jarael retreats a bit (still in gambit) until Skyguy pushes her out (for 20 damage). End of the round Kybuck goes and rolls the 1 on salacious, and then does 30 to aves and HC Dash.
Gambit for skywalker

Rd 3
HC wins init, and kills yoda (aves with 2x combined fire). some more spinning around and positioning battles. HC picking off some more acts. Sky guy goes and gets 30 through on Jarael and then steps away so she can't triple. She get so a better spot and hit skywalker after salacious comes up for to grant deathstrike. Dash gets swapped up (aves was on so it was not a big swap) then comes in adjacent to both salacious and jarael, and kills jarael, but biffs on salacious. The door closes and Mira can't get it open so has to hang back.
Gambit for skywalker

Rd 4
R2 locks the door and republic regroups. Mira gets pushed out to pop it open and throw a grenade (spaarti makes the save but rodian doesn't). Then she retreats. Skywalker comes pounding in and gets 30 through on Mira and Hostage shield takes the caamasi. Dash works on picking off the last couple remaining fodder pieces of the HC.
Gambit Panaka.

Rd 5
HC wins init and Mira kills skywalker with a crit and holes back up in her cubby. Not much left to do at this point. Dash takes out Aves (but not much else) and panaka gets 20 in on Marn.
Panaka gambit

Rd 6
HC wins init and Mira dumps 60 on panaka (with a crit). Marn takes care of a spaarti and Dash comes in and Does just enough to get Marn and the Tusken dead (through hostage shield) but can't kill Mira.
Panaka gambit Rep over 200

End of Game
Panaka (10hp), Dash, R2, Rodian, Mas left to Mira (20HP) and mouse left for the HC.

221 - 139 if my math is correct.

I agree with TJ, much closer than it looks, and the hostage shield is great for HC if it can make the saves.

Prison break VS Paid for itself.

I vote Prison break.

In round 2, I would expect the Speeder to be able to get a good strafe late in the round to hit a bunch of guys for 20, and be able to also get out of sight of the remaining seps (maybe only 2 or 3 left). Then a cunning 20 strafe at the top of the next round (even if it takes 80 with a spotter assisted shot and losing init and failing the deflect) should be able to clean up a bunch of the seps. From there, the seps may still not be able to kill the speeder, but even if they do, they are down so much firepower, the rest of the rebels clean up.

Or, like Spry said, if the Rebels try and spread out, it is shorter strafes, just working through guys.

With nearly everyone having agile or mobile, makes it very difficult for the seps to get any shots at all. And the Fringe CAN just shoot through the energy shield if they want. 50% chance that droid takes damage, only 25% that the shooter does, so the odds are in the shooter's favor.


Does that math work out quite right? If you hit, you roll a save to either take the damage or avoid it and have the original target take the damage. I believe that is a 50/50 chance of taking damage or not? Unless you are counting the initial roll? But then the chance of receiving damage would still be the same.

Energy Shield (When this character or an adjacent character is hit by an attack from an enemy that is not adjacent to either, that character takes no damage and the attacker takes damage equal to the prevented damage; the attacker can avoid this effect with a save of 11.)

Best Ranged save based defense in the game btw. Wheres the Jedi equivalent? ;) Just kidding!!


Oops. Was thinking of something else I guess. NEver came up in the games we played ass the seps had stealth, so it was normally just as easy to base them rather than shoot at them from range.

I would have to go with NR. Kkruhk gets in your face, forced to kill him and then Annie blows up in your face. NR has a movement breaker and out activates when bastilla is off. They will be tied after lobot reinforcements most likely while bastilla is on. I just think it it to much to overcome if played well.

Van only takes 10 damage from Unleash the Force . . . right?

Stalwart (Immune to enemy abilities and commander effects that trigger based on a critical hit or the attack number rolled. Whenever this character takes more than 10 damage from an enemy's ability that replaces attacks, immediately reduce the damage to 10. The reduced damage cannot be prevented or redirected.)

Unleash the Force 60 (Force 4, replaces attacks, usable only after an ally with a Force rating is defeated: 60 damage to all other characters within 6 squares; save 11 to reduce damage to 30)
