A buddy just texted me and told me that Intensity Poe is a thing and I'm currently reading up on the rules and trying to figure out the order of operations. Looks interesting.

Airen Cracken - Veteran Instincts, Harpoon Missile, Guidance Chips (24)

Captain Nym - Veteran Instincts, Autoblaster Turret, Rey, Harpoon Missile, Bomblet Generator, Guidance Chips (42)

Only thing I don't agree with is Rey. I would drop her and put Havok+ FCS and Genius on

Oh man, I love Cracken, his shenanigans are so good. Might have to roll with this list this week.

Edit: so can a ship stack two harpoon conditions then have them triggered by the same attack?

Edit2: OTOH I don't see how this list can beat 4 wookies.

1. Dial in a Green
2. Use BB-8 to Barrel Roll
3. Intensity
4. Take another action of choice after maneuver is executed as normal.

or

1. Dial Whatever
2. BOOST
3. Intensity

Then spend your focus, because it's ALWAYS focus on Poe, to get back intensity for next round.

The biggest issue with the U-Wing is that rebels don't have something like Palpatine/Jabba to put in it. It's basically the rebel version of the Lambda, but without a good 2-Crew Upgrade in the faction.

Finn, Hera, and FCS is about the best use of a U wing i can find

Does this stack if I take Boost as my Action? [edit] No it doesn't. You have to flip the card. Still cool.

It doesnt really unless your opponent is dumb and spends all game chasing Poe. A good player will chase and kill Dash while Poe tries to plink away.

The sad truth is Intensity Poe is just a really big waste of 40ish points

I think the best thing to do with ordinance list is to nuke one Wookiee then run away for the next 60 minutes. Sure is cheesy but not as bad as 4 Wookiee gunships. If they really want to fight they will spread out and you can pick off the lone ship.


I would honestly be OK of a limit of 2 of the same ship per list. Will never happen because Tie swarms are the exception.

To be honest I have my most fun with the game playing aces with interesting action economy. Jake, Psycho Tycho, Keyan, and Poe have all been my favorite builds to fly despite their effectiveness. I gave up power gaming when I quit 40k.

Double Shadow Casters is something like this (you can play around with the illicits):
Asajj Ventress (37)
Push the Limit (3)
Latts Razzi (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Countermeasures (3)

Ketsu Onyo (38)
Expertise (4)
Dengar (3)
Glitterstim (2)
Countermeasures (3)
Shadow Caster (3)

Total: 100

View in Yet Another Squad Builder

Alpha strikes are neutered by Counter Measures + Glitterstim, plus it's hard to manage range on a big base that can go 5 straight to bump. Ketsu will just tractor you off of her at the start of combat and then you're taking 2 range 1 shots with -1 (another -1 assuming Ketsu hits). Dealing stress is definitely helpful, since it'll kill Expertise and make it hard for them to move the arc, but they have good greens and they're fast so they should be able to get out of danger to shed the stress and circle back around quickly.

Kylo crew is definitely a good call, so I'll look at playing RAC + Quickdraw.

And bring Primed Thrusters so you can troll-boost-intense focus the bb8 next round.

Intensity is probably my favourite card right now, it's a real shame it's only good on like 3 ships (Vader, Poe, Guri).

Intene Guri is super fun, I placed second in a tourney at the weekend with her, albeit I got obscenely lucky, and went the first 3 rounds without losing a ship when I should have lost well more than one.

Don't say cruel things like that :(

So I just might have to up my order to four gunboats.

I just tried out 4G&T and it's great. 2 ion boats 2 harpoon boats all with LRS. And an Academy Pilot. None of them can shoot with WD. Unpredictable blocks, alpha punch that's likely to take effect, and sweet control. I managed to pin down Echo ffs.

I think that's the best RAC. Vader with ATC/Engine is base 34 points, so you can drop Dauntless if you want to run Vader and want to run a good EPT like predator.

Reporting in from my League game. I ran the following.

Poe Dameron PS 9 (33)
Intensity (2)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
BB-8 (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)
Primed Thrusters (1)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
Rey (2)

Counter Measures (3)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

Total: 56

Squadron Total: 100



I wound up trouncing my opponent who was playing Palob Godalhi, Ketsu Onyo, and Fenn Rau. Can't remember the upgrades. I made really good use of the asteroids with Dash and was able to use Poe's maneuverability to run up the flank of the fighters. Never made any use of Countermeasures or Rigged Cargo Chute mostly because I was so rusty I was concentrating on remembering the rules. When all was said and done I was only down three shields and my opponent was tabled with a half hour left in the round.

1 bank manoeuvre -> boost because no one's in his arc -> daredevil 1 hard left as an action -> daredevil is a manoeuvre, no one's in his arc again, so he can barrel roll (with primed thrusters because daredevil's stressed him)
