So one Lancer tries to attack one J.Sc., and the Jawa will get to shoot back for a possible 40 on his death shot. If the Czerka is close enough, he'll get the twin on the deathshot, too. All I can say is . . . ha ha, you stupid Lancer!

the only problem is you are thinking an +8 will hit a 21 Def. You need to roll a 13. So you miss over half the time. Granted if paired with Gen Obi you can boost that 8 to a +12, but you still need a nine to hit. Good luck

There's this cool ability called "combined fire". If you notice, I have a few options for that in this build. I've also got the Kel Dor in there to get in the way and finish that key 10dmg when I need it.

Well, except you can't combine fire on AoOs. Still though, if you have the czerka close enough for twin then you'll be getting GOWK's +4 as well, so that would be two chances needing only a 9 to hit, which isn't too bad.

Was he talking about AoOs? Then I guess he is referring only to taking on the lancer. On a death twin, I need 13s actually to hit it (no cunning). But the first one, if it hits, does 40 and the second 30. So its quite a risk trying to kill 1-2 of these guys, when they could take down the lancer completely. Trust me, your opponent will not want to take that risk very often.

As far as combine fire, I was talking about shooting things like IG-86s. I don't need massive rolls, because they can't shoot me back. I can take multiple shots on their approach. And when they do kill my jawas, then I get death swings.

The key is keeping the czerka alive, but I am pretty good at dealing with that one already :)

And to be honest, if this 13pt piece had a higher attack, it would end the playability of droids completely. So its perfectly fine as is, it will do its job nicely.

Durr...I didn't think he was talking about AoOs....I should have said that you couldn't combine fire on the death shot from Mon Mothma. That's what I meant. Both things are true though.

Yes, against Droid squads in general they'll be awesome because of Stealth. Lancer's stand a good chance, but I know I wouldn't take my chances against odds like that. At best you get to kill 26 points worth of pieces that are more-or-less support pieces, and they take out your 30(31) point major attacker in return, a much bigger difference than just 4-5 points.
