--loda bomb--
70 Luke Skywalker and Yoda
27 Lobot
20 Princess Leia
26 Kel Dor Bounty Hunter x2
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2

Lobot:
8 Muun Tactics Broker
12 Ugnaught Demolitionist x4
(149pts. 12 activations)
Please give me feed back on this squad. I tried this make up. Wanted to see what it would be like without lando ds. What do you think? If I put lando in I would have to change up lobots reinforcements as well. I don't think I could run MTB or that it would be worth it.

Is Loda competitive at 150?

I did beat a black and blue 150 on a pretty on a very open map.

55 Darth Vader, Scourge of the Jedi
37 Grand Admiral Thrawn
27 Mission Vao
8 Mas Amedda
20 Raxus Prime Trooper x4
3 Ugnaught Demolitionist
(150pts. 9 activations)

Well, to be fair, that B&B squad is not really optimized at all (pretty low activations for a B&B squad). On top of that, Darth Vader SOTJ should annihilate Luke & Yoda 1 on 1 for the most part, especially with Thrawn allowing Vader to attack first and avoid getting Force Stunned.

Anyways.....What you have isn't a bad build, but the problem you run into is that if L&Y die, you're pretty much hosed. Plus, you only have 11 total rounds of MTB fodder, so if your opponent plays the game well enough, they will dwindle those numbers down, and kill off at least a few of your scrub pieces in the meantime, so you'll likely only get something like 7 or 8 rounds, probably less if you don't want to kill Lobot, Leia, or L&Y. Unless you can play it very carefully, I usually plan to lose 2-3 Ugnaughts from getting killed. which only leaves you 3-4 Ugos for your MTB engine. So, on a local level, it will depend on how fast your opponents play, and whether 6-7 activations is enough for an MTB engine for you to either win or for time to run out.

On a global meta level, I'm not certain this would be able to compete.

For a moment I thought this would be fun. It was, but I don't think it would stand up to what I normally run. I have seen loda, leia, lando ds, and dodonna squads. Is that the only competitive 150 loda squad.

To be honest I didn't really like the loda before I played this the other day. Yet I think there is some depth to him.

It looks good. I wish I knew the Loda squad run at Gencon, but I don't so I have nothing really to compare it to. I think I might use this soon.

See the Gencon 2008 150pt Squads thread stickied above! :D
