It's brutal, that's for sure. I'd mostly be worried about the low activations though. Will have to test it see further. 8 activations also means that B&B squads could easily out-activate you. You also don't have access to the all-important Bodyguard which, IMO, is essential against B&B or Boba Cannon squads. Yes, this will be quite frustrating for the Snowspeeder due to Rex's Penetration, but Rex still needs 12's to hit the Speeder in cover, and then the Speeder has Evade too. So, I would figure that Rex would get 1-2 shots through per 6 at most (figure missing half to start with, then evading at least 1 or 2 depending on use of FPs to re-roll). Once Rex exposes himself to take shots at the SS like that, he'll likely go down quick the following round. After that, Dash won't be able to do squat to the Speeder, and OWKJG, even with Flight/Surprise Move, will have trouble keeping up with the SS, IMO.

I think it's solid, but I don't think it's nearly as dominant as the GOWK version was. That extra 11 points (losing the Human BG) makes a huge difference, IMO. Honestly though, it's probably right about where it needs to be.

I might almost consider running something more like a Czerka and a Twi'lek Vigo instead of Dash and one of the Mice. Double+Twin on the Vigo, and then 6 shots with Jolt on Rex. THAT could be nasty.

I think this is better
OBi 66
rex 33
TBSV
Czerka
uggiex2
mouse
r2

I think its pointless for us to make squads since I feel there will be new minis in this set to help out.

I'm very interested to see how rolling cleave plays out on ranged mini's myself.

I'm surprised no one is talking about what JG Obi does for the TBSV and all the cheap Evade shooters out there.
