Hey, thanks for the help! Those changes to the list and to playstyle/strategy really helped. I think I was hesitant to add Proton Torpedoes to Poe since I only have one copy of the card (and it's being used by Luke) -- but I'll figure something out. Also BB-8 for purely canon reasons, but he was basically never utilised.

Hi, I've built three casual lists out of the ships I have to play at the kitchen table. I went and tried them in FlyCasual (versus AI), and found that they were reasonably balanced against each other, with one exception. Playing Resistance against Rebellion, I lose hard, every time. It feels like I can't manoeuvre around the Falcon, and I can't break through Luke's force defences or the Falcon's health without use of something like Vader/Fel's rerolls. Am I just bad (totally okay with this) or is there something fundamental about how the lists stack up against each other? Empire (192): TIE Advanced x1 -- Darth Vader -- 84 Darth Vader (67) Heightened Perception (3) Fire-Control System (2) Homing Missiles (5) Hull Upgrade (7) TIE Interceptor -- Soontir Fel -- 64 Soontir Fel (54) Predator (2) Shield Upgrade (8) TIE/ln Fighter -- Academy Pilot -- 22 TIE/ln Fighter -- Academy Pilot -- 22 Rebel Alliance (195): Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter -- Han Solo -- 79 T-65 X-Wing -- Luke Skywalker -- 76 Luke Skywalker (62) Instinctive Aim (1) Proton Torpedoes (13) T-65 X-Wing -- Blue Squadron Escort -- 40 Resistance (196): T-70 X-Wing -- Poe Dameron -- 83 Poe Dameron (67) BB-8 (8) Afterburners (6) Black One (2) T-70 X-Wing -- Ello Asty -- 61 Ello Asty (55) Shield Upgrade (6) RZ-2 A-Wing -- Tallissan Lintra -- 52 Tallissan Lintra (36) Heroic (1) Proton Rockets (6) Primed Thrusters (9) Not entirely opposed to buying a fourth ship, but would prefer to avoid if possible (especially since I just bought the 3-pack of the Resistance dial upgrades). Thanks!
