Post subject:  New Republic Rancor, some advice please
I'll be running this on Saturday at a 200-pt tourney locally. I know that the squad idea itself is sub-optimal, but I'm a nut and always have to run something abnormal. Here's what I have:

52 Felucian Warrior on Rancor
25 Jacen Solo
25 Leia Skywalker, Jedi Knight
23 Jolee Bindo
23 Generel Wedge Antilles
20 Cade Skywalker, Padawan
18 TBSV
3 Mouse Droid
9 Ugnaught Demolitionist x3

I put Jolee in to boost the Felucian a little and because Leia can work his Avoid Defeat to extremes. Cade is there to support the Felucian with re-rolled saves on Essence of Life.

Jacen I like as a character, so I like to use his mini. With Evade he's a little more reasonable, and with a more powerful (and useful) Leia, she can get hurt and stay alive still, so Jacen can do 80 damage a round with GMA. If the Felucian finally dies (or Jolee, or Leia, or Cade), Jacen can Unleash of course.

Should I be using other pieces besides Jacen and/or Jolee?

Thanks!

Jacen is certainly a tough sell. Plus, you really don't want Leia to get hurt very much, because if she gets hurt, your opponent is likely going to kill her on the next round. I'm not sure what I would use instead of Jacen though, as I think your strategy for him is pretty solid. GMA + Protective +20 is definitely pretty nice. Jolee's Valor should help Jacen stay alive a little bit better as well.

Overall, I think you've got a fun build that should be fairly solid. A Francor with Evade AND Parry AND free re-rolls is frustrating, at the very least.

You may also want to try building this same sort of squad with the Rebels as well, using Rieekan instead of Wedge. Then you go do other things like Master Kota for the +3/+3 for the Francor. Just another idea.

Thanks man, appreciate the comments. Here's my alternate Rebel build, which while it doesn't have Leia's awesome/annoying re-rolls, has more versatility and meta-countering.

55 Master Kota
52 Felucian on Rancor
25 Juhani
18 Twilek Black Sun Vigo
16 Elite Rebel Commando
14 General Rieekan
9 General Dodonna
9 R2 with Extended Sensor

Aw crap I just realized that without Mas, the third option isn't viable with Jabba. Edited.
