I've never been a fan of snipers at all because of their pitiful damage output, so I'm happy to see that there are others put there who feel that Rebel (and Imp) snipers are underwhelming. I've included at least 2 in all my lists for activations and because people say you need to, but I really feel like I'd rather just have 1. I don't feel like replacing them with another mediocre naked trooper unit is necessarily correct, but at least troopers can be used to take objectives and act as meat shields. I could pretty easily drop a sniper from the lists I have that don't have R2 and put R2 in there instead. I think I'll do that.

Thanks for that! Have you run into any problems with the mediocre range of the Mark II and especially the Fleets?

I came up with this based on your list and my suggestions. It uses Leia and Jyn to help with Inspire, splits command cards between them and Sabine, and bumps the activation count up to 10 with a 7 point bid. 7 points isn't much, so if you don't mind always being the second player, feel free to throw a couple extra upgrades on the units. I recommend Recon Intel on Sabine and the Mandalorians. Getting them up closer to important objectives and enemy units faster is nice, especially since they have their absolutely stellar speed 3 to add to that. 10 activations, 793/800 Leia Organa (90 + 5 = 95)--Strict Orders (5)Jyn Erso (110 + 4 = 114)--Duck and Cover (4), A-180 Rifle Config (0)Sabine Wren (125 + 31 = 156)--Endurance (6), The Darksaber (25)R2-D2 (35 + 15 = 50)--C-3PO (15)Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)Rebel Commandos (Strike Team) (20 + 28 = 48)--DH-447 Sniper (28)Mandalorian Resistance (72 + 28 = 100)--Beskad Duelist (28)Mandalorian Resistance (Clan Wren) (34 + 76 = 110)--Tristan Wren (38), Ursa Wren (38) Commands: Coordinated Bombardment (1), Rebellious (1), Trust Goes Both Ways (2), Symbol of Rebellion (2), Legacy of Mandalore (3), Somebody Has to Save Our Skins (3), Standing Orders (4)Deployments: Advanced Positions, Danger Close, Major Offensive, Hemmed InObjectives: Recover the Supplies, Key Positions, Sabotage the Moisture Vaporators, Intercept the TransmissionsConditions: Clear Conditions, Fortified Positions, Supply Drop, Limited Visibility http://tabletopadmiral.com/legion/rebel/p0bu3euEMuEMp1buEMu21uEMu45p21u46uEMuEMu47p37uEMu83p06uEMuEMuEMuEMp06uEMuEMuEMuEMp06uEMuEMuEMuEMp0eu2fuEMuEMuEMuEMp47uafuEMuEMuEMuEMuEMp48ub1ub2uEMuEMuEMuEMuEMc0dc1ec28c2fc29c13c08o02o03o01o04z05z06z01z07t05t06t07t03 Edit: Alternatively, drop Jyn and put the generic Officer in for more suppression control. You have more wiggle room with this approach, so you can toy with Improvised Orders. You also can throw another naked trooper unit in the list or upgrade your other units more that way.

Thanks! I actually have a few lists similar to this already, so it's good to know that others are thinking the same thing. I second guess this a lot and I'm both intimidated by and jealous of Imperial lists that have Iden. I have the following Operative Luke lists: JedOps (10 activations, 787/800) Cassian Andor (A280, Hunter, Offensive Push, Recon Intel) K-2SO (Jyn's SE-14 Blaster) Luke Skywalker (Force Push, Force Reflexes, Jedi Mind Trick, Tenacity) 3x Rebel Troopers 2x Rebel Commando Strike Teams (DH-447 Sniper) 2x AT-RT (Flamethrower) - - - LlamOps (10 activations, 793/800) Cassian Andor (A280, Hunter, Offensive Push, Recon Intel) Luke Skywalker (Force Push, Force Reflexes, Jedi Mind Trick, Tenacity) 3x Rebel Troopers 3x Rebel Commando Strike Teams (DH-447 Sniper) 2x Tauntaun Riders (Tenacity) - - - Wonder Twins (10 activations, 787/800) Leia Organa (Strict Orders) Luke Skywalker (Force Push, Force Reflexes, Jedi Mind Trick, Tenacity) R2-D2 (C-3P0) 3x Rebel Troopers 2x Rebel Commando Strike Teams (DH-447 Sniper) 2x Tauntaun Riders (Comms Jammer, Tenacity) - - - Wonder Llamas (10 activations, 790/800) Rebel Officer (Electrobinoculars, Strict Orders) Luke Skywalker (Force Push, Force Reflexes, Jedi Mind Trick, Tenacity) 2x Rebel Troopers (2-1B Medical Droid) Rebel Troopers 3x Rebel Commando Strike Teams (DH-447 Sniper) 2x Tauntaun Riders (Comms Jammer, Tenacity) - - - Wonder Chickens (11 activations, 790/800) Rebel Officer (Strict Orders) Luke Skywalker (Force Push, Force Reflexes, Jedi Mind Trick, Tenacity) R2-D2 (C-3P0) 2x Rebel Troopers (R5 Astromech Droid) Rebel Troopers 2x Rebel Commandos (DH-447 Sniper) 3x AT-RT (Flamethrower)

If I were you, I'd drop the Z6s and maybe the DLT for a sniper unit and maybe another naked trooper to get your activation count up. Naked troopers are probably the way to go. Focus your power in your hero units and Mandos. Leia probably wants Strict Orders to help with suppression. Ascension Cables seems unnecessary. Sabine's grappling line is mediocre. You can save some points there. I also think you can drop Offensive Push on your units for Endurance. Sabine likes Tenacity, but Endurance also works. Your units have pretty low courage. You could find room for the generic Officer to give your list more Inspire support.

I put the game aside for a while and am now getting back to working on my armies. I'm looking for some help getting the most out of my Rebels. I'm especially interested in Operative Luke, Cassian, and K2, but they eat up a major chunk of my points. I have a few questions: 1) Does anyone have an Op Luke list they can share? Preferably 10+ activations. I'd much rather use Op Luke if I can, but he's so expensive 2) How the **** do you play Wonder Twins? Every time I've tried it, Leia feels so underwhelming. I feel like I'm using her wrong. 3) What units support Luke best? Tauntauns are great, but they seem too expensive to run alongside him. Flamethrower RTs also seem great, but I worry they'll never get a single shot off. Rotary RTs seem really underwhelming. 4) For those of you who run 2 RTs, would you double up on a hardpoint or go 1 and 1? 5) Between Jyn + Cassian + K2 + R2/Sabine or some kind of Luke list, what would likely be stronger? If it matters, I can get any unit I want. I currently have both Lukes, Leia, Han, Officer, Cassian & K2, Jyn, R2 & 3P0, Chewie, Sabine, 4 Troopers, 1 or 2 Fleets (bah), Pathfinders, 2 Commandos, Wookiees, 2 Tauntauns, and 3 RTs. Thanks!

I like the idea of running Inferno Squad as another sniper unit alongside Death Troopers/Bossk and 2 sets of Shoretroopers/blasters. They form a solid gun line with superior activation control. I don't know how useful they are outside of Iden gun line lists, but I think they fit well in those.
