Bad Idea Theater: Episode V- Rebel All Stars

[allistorpreist 171]

Sometime you gotta run a list, not based on the greatest tactical advantage, but based on some other criteria. Looks, theme, some new release, whatever. And you make a list. Sometimes it works out ok. Turns out Sabine, fleet troops and a couple of proton charge strike teams can be pretty good, you never know.

But this weeks adventure is really top heavy. It occured to me while carefully impulse shopping, that you can field luke, leia, han and chewy, and now I must. The question is, how do you make that work? My first though is to back them with a lot of stripped down troop units, something like:

Leia Organa (90 + 18 = 108)
--Esteemed Leader (5), Commanding Presence (5), Electrobinoculars (8)

Han Solo (120 + 0 = 120)

Luke Skywalker (Operative) (200 + 29 = 229)
--Force Push (10), Force Reflexes (10), Saber Throw (5), Tenacity (4)

Chewbacca (95 + 4 = 99)
--Tenacity (4)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 18 = 58)
--2-1B Medical Droid (18)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 18 = 58)
--2-1B Medical Droid (18)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 24 = 64)
--MPL-57 Ion Trooper (24)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 24 = 64)
--MPL-57 Ion Trooper (24)

But there are a lot of potential flaws. One being, I would have to buy two more rebel troopers since I currently use fleets a lot. Also they are pretty squishy. Concentrated fire could crush one of the heroes or kill/suppress the troops. 

If you were going to try to get these four folks on the table, how would you go about it to get the best results?

You can get up to 10 activations with them all in, but it lacks a little punch. Your heros have to do all the heavy lifting, but I suppose that's their usual job. This is by no means an optimised list just something I threw together based on my collection.

Leia Organa (90 + 0 = 90)

Han Solo (120 + 0 = 120)

Chewbacca (95 + 4 = 99)
--Tenacity (4)

Luke Skywalker (Operative) (200 + 10 = 210)
--Force Push (10)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)

Rebel Veterans (48 + 26 = 74)
--CM-O93 Trooper (26)

Mark II Medium Blaster Trooper (38 + 0 = 38)

Rebel Commandos (Strike Team) (20 + 28 = 48)
--DH-447 Sniper (28)

Always take shotguns, never grenade launchers.

3 troopers and 3 strike teams would leave you some PTs for more upgrades,
