Strategy

Start your Objective/Effects. Pull Mon Mothma and General Dodonna with Strike Planning. Pull Lock with Dodonna, and use him to pull your systems. Mon Mothma pulls your techs. Flip and blow up the "Happy Funball". Pretty standard procedure, as it is rather self-explanatory.

CARD CHOICES

---

Liberty: Destiny 2 (good for a capital ship); can be forfeited to Used Pile and then redeployed for FREE (Great Shot, Kid!) on your very next turn. (NOTE: Thanks to Rickynumber24 for this great strat tip.)

Tiree/Gold 2: Added protection in the Trench; adds to Attack Run total.

Tantive IV: Deploys directly to Death Star, allowing deployment of starfighters there (rather than having to move them).

First Officer Thaneespi: With Ackbar, turns Home One into a superpowered Zuckuss In Mist Hunter.

Red Squadron 4/Red 8/Red 9/pilots: Nifty bonuses with X-wing Cannons.

X-wing Cannons: ZiMH? Bye-bye. Saber 1? See ya later. Vader's Custom TIE? Hasta la vista, baby.

S-foils: Beat up your opponent with you X-wings.

Haven: Do you really have to ask?

Strikeforce: Protects my drain bonuses.

Mon Calamari: 2 activation, opponent drains for -1 if they don't have a Star Destroyer there; SDs can't be deployed there if I occupy with a Mon Cal Cruiser.

CHANGES

---

- Added Great Shot, Kid! (c/o Hawkeye31)

- Added Dodonna, Mon Mothma, Strike Planning

(as Shewski advised)

- Added Tantive IV (as several of you

advised)

- Added Liberty (as Rickynumber24 advised)

- Switched Luke w/ stick for (V) Luke

(didn't have him before)

- Added First Officer Thaneespi

Thanks in advance for any reviews, guys.

EDIT: Thanks for the review, Rickynumber24. I would definitely like to add the SE, but I don't have a copy of it. If I did, though, it would definitely be in there along with Advanced Prep. I had also thought about using Coruscant, but decided against it, because I could use the extra acivation. I may add Naboo in place of Sullust, though. Thanks again!

EDIT: Thanks for the review, Shewski. I had contemplated using Aquaris, but I chose to add a definite 2 instead of a possible 1. I hadn't thought of using We Wish; I'll have to get my hands on a couple of copies of that. (By the way, good job on catching that Sigal/Twi'lek thing. That's what happens when you don't get enough sleep. : ) ) I would like to add another Y4 site and some more ground defense, but until I get AUAOF, I don't have room for them.
