| Post subject: | Choose your reinforcements |
Hi guys Here's the thing. I've never really used reinforcements on a regular basis. I know that Lobot especially is almost obligatory when playing at a competitive venue or when attending tournaments. The ability to bring in various reinforcements to counter your opponents tactics are invaluable. But i'm part of a pretty casual playgroup, so i haven't really used Lobot that much. One day though, i was playing my Mandalorian/Jaina SotJ squad which does pretty well mostly, and my opponent had made a Yuuzhan Vong squad with Shimrra, Nom Anor, a Shaper and a lot of YV Workers. I had to be adjecent to attack him most of the time, so my squad was literally blown apart from self destructs. Looking back on that match, i think that a single piece (maybe two?) with It's a Trap could have won me the game, and that's when i saw the light. I'll be fielding Lobot more often now. But what tactics should a player be ready to counter? And what pieces do you put in your reinforcements-box? |

Great question! Some that come to mind (for Lobot): Gha, Mice, R7, Uggies, Rodian Brutes, MTB, bodyguards, BBSV, TBSV, Treadwell, Jawa Scavenger, Keldor, Salacious Crumb, Wicket, Rodian Trader, ASP-7, Jabba, Lando DS, Bomo, IG-86, YVH 1 Droid. |

Best counter for Nob Bombs is a Rakghoul! Roy |

Yeah, it is a fun strategy. All your Rakghouls are 0 points. I forced my opponent to waste Cad Bane to kill 0 points. Nice breathing room for a turn. |

It's considered a counter because the Rak's disease will trigger before the Self destruction does, so your rak takes no self destruct damage and you get another! |

Self destruct still works so the attacking rak takes 20. Rak has 30 health so he still lives and after the explosion you get a new rakghoul with 30 who keeps daisy chaining new rakghouls. |

But the best way to play the YV bombs are to attack, miss, then blow up. That method does not generate a new Rak. |

True, but a good player won't put his one and only Rakghoul in a position where that can happen. |

Haha the Rakghoul is a neat trick, i'll try that next time and see how that goes. Otherwise, i think i'll go with a couple of Treadwells to get rid of his stealth. If i play against anything else, i can just pick a Human Bodyguard, a Caamasi Noble and a Mouse Droid. What i really need though, is a mandalorian with either disruptive or it's a trap
