Han, Rebel Hero 35
Mara Jade, Jedi 45
Jaina Solo 25
Jacen Solo 25
Lobot 27
Ugnaught Boss 15
HFA 10
Uggyx6 18
200 points, 13 activations

I really wanted to use Jacen, and an MTB engine with an HFA seemed like the perfect opportunity. The premise is really simple, you keep everyone hidden until you're ready to blow up, then you outactivate them, run Jacen up and sac the HFA to the MTB, and, boom! 60 damage to everything within 6 squares, followed up by Mara and Jaina attacking everything in sight.

Comments, suggestions?

This squad looks like evil fun. I would change Han RH out for Stormie Han, freeing up 10 more points for more evilness. Actually, I think I'm going to run it this weekend sometime to test it out, if you don't mind.

Definitely has some nice power to it. This is the best way to use Jacen right now, IMO.

With a MTB and 4 more Ugos, you'll have 11 rounds of winning init, and 17 base activations, which is pretty awesome.

You'll have to watch out for San Hill squads and other swarm squads, as you'll have a tough time out-activating them. In particular, I'm thinking Thrawn/Piett/Ozzel with lots of Troopers will give you a real headache. Although, you can try to blow bombs up in their face, and use Han and Mara to shoot things from a distance.

That's why I used Han, RH, to mobile in and out of cover to take out swarm squads. Although, Han in STA would probably work better against a few matchups I like the extra damage of Han, RH. 240 damage in two activations is fearsome.

Whoah! Wait a sec! How can you call this the Solo family when Mara is the main female! What the heck have Han and Mara been doing behind the skywalker backs! They are going to learn the hard way never to piss off a Skywalker.

BTW, nice squad. ;)

I would actually drop the ugnaught boss for Leia, Rebel Hero. You can use Jacen to kill the MTB, and Jacen will be able to do a LOT more killing.




I like killing.

Well, that means you have to coordinate to have both Jacen and the MTB in position for the big kill. Although, if you out-activate them well enough, I guess it shouldn't be too hard to pull that off.

Oh this is a mean squad. When my bro-in-law comes up I'm going to unveil this and see if this causes as much anger as Boba BH (we've never played against each other with that dreaded piece)

Looks like a good squad, though Jacen is a bit fragile, you would have to be careful with both Jaina and Jacen considering their low HP, but if you position them correctly they could be really deadly.

True, but when I use Jacen I don't necessarily want to kill off the MTB the same turn, also, Jacen probably won't kill everything so I still want the almost auto init as a backup.

I also don't have Leia, RH... :mrgreen:
