First, this provides excellent force generation and force drain opportunities. That the DS gains some force generation is somewhat negated by the fact that they will have to play a sufficient force at both sites to force a battle. With the TME game text, avoiding the DS task force is free, while the DS player must pay to chase from site to site. The LS player can keep her entire force strong and protected at one location and still force drain at both sites. If the DS has no presence at either site, and the LS has at least two characters deployed at one of the sites, just move one character to the second site, execute both force drains, and then move the rest of the characters over. Keep in mind that this counts as their movement for the turn. To completely halt the force drains, the DS will have to split her fo! rces between the two sites.

Tatooine: Mos Eisley(TME) is the cornerstone for a Tatooine ground force drain deck. The key to this strategy is to stay away from the DS ground forces while continuing to force drain. Eventually, an opportunity usually presents itself to make a crippling counter-attack. This site, when combined with the Cantina, form perhaps the strongest two site combination in the game.

Of primary importance is the ability to move LS characters for free during the control phase. This affords the LS player a number of large strategic advantages. First, this provides excellent force generation and force drain opportunities. That the DS gains some force generation is somewhat negated by the fact that they will have to play a sufficient force at both sites to force a battle. With the TME game text, avoiding the DS task force is free, while the DS player must pay to chase from site to site. The LS player can keep her entire force strong and protected at one location and still force drain at both sites. If the DS has no presence at either site, and the LS has at least two characters deployed at one of the sites, just move one character to the second site, execute both force drains, and then move the rest of the characters over. Keep in mind that this counts as their movement for the turn. To completely halt the force drains, the DS will have to split her fo! rces between the two sites. When it is advantageous, the LS player can use the free move in the control phase to move her whole force over and attack immediately.

Two types of cards will augment this deck greatly. First, the LS player must keep the DS from deploying and immediately initiating a battle. Narrow Escape and Rebel Barrier can both help with this, and the ANH cards I Have a Very Bad Feeling About This and R2-D2 with a Fire Extinguisher work as well. If the battle does start, Houjix can keep the results from being crippling by eliminating force loss. Lightsabers and Lightsaber Proficiency increase the force drain at the sites, also a key. Quite a Mercenary will keep the DS from launching a surprise attack via Elis Helrot. Include multiple TMEs to keep them from being reversed.
