Strategy

By Michael Sharp, Gold 29[1]

Want to drain the Light Side a little faster? It works best on Tatooine when your sites are as follows:

CANTINA - LARS' MOISTURE FARM - JUNDLAND WASTES

Deploy Expand The Empire at the Lars' Moisture Farm, and it will ADD the gametext of that site to both adjacent sites. Now the cantina is Force Drain +1 (making a total Force Drain of 3), and the Jundland Wastes are Force Drain +1 +1 (making a total Force Drain of 3). All this, and at all 3 sites you can add 1 to each of your weapon destiny draws!

Back all this up with a bit of ground power, and your opponent will be begging for mercy in no time!
