EDIT: Looking for some advice as I finalize this. Please scroll down and see where I am at with the squad.





OK ladies and gents, my weekly playgroup is doing a 400 point Epic skirmish theme next Friday and I am totally geeked to run the squad I have picked out. I would like to see what everyone else would do with these rules.

400 points max (i.e. no going over w/ Lobot); only 1 Epic character per squad; standard faction rules apply.

Here is the squad I intend to run (with the possibility of a tweak here or there):

First off I am surprised that the Lord Hoth Epic is the lowest rated of all Epics as of this writing. His CE's are sweet! With Old Republic Conscription every character you can legally add to your squad becomes subject to his CE's. Perhaps I'm showing how much of a noob I am but running accurate shooters w/ him is going to be insane!

As of now I am going to run Boba BH, Mira, Zuckuss and Han Gambler. Boba and Mira will both be able to move up to 12 spaces and shoot attack every single character within los TWICE! Only once for Zuckuss but every time his attack hits the enemy will be stuck thanks to his Snare Rifle. As for Han, I am simply hoping he can do as much damage as possible before he gets killed off at which point Lord Hoth will be able to utilize Impulsive Jedi Hunter and get a +4 att / +10 dam for the rest of the skirmish against all force users.

I know Lord Hoth can't stand toe to toe w/ some of the other Epic's straight up but w/ the Niman Mastery and all the other things he has going for him he is going to be a heck of a beatstick in his own right.

Of course not only is Bastilla going to be able to knock out opposing CE's in the middle of the skirmish but she can be a very solid melee piece when needed. Not to mention the JBM.

I could remove Han from the squad, as well as 1 or 2 mice and add either a Jedi Watchman or another JBM but I really like the idea of Han being a sacrificial lamb and doing as much damage as possible before dying for Lord Hoth's benefit.



So, in an Epic 400 point skirmish, what does your squad look like?

Most attacks does zero damage if they miss or get force defensed.

I've been playing around making an OR squad since GF pointed out Hoth's amazing CE & OR conscription.
A jawa scav w/stealth back with a czerka could be a sub for Han.
czerka would give other furious accurate shooters a chance to jolt the enemy,
that with Stuckus and thre opponent could be moving reeaall slow.
and I added Vodo-baas to use Hoth's CE of +10 to adjacent enemies.
then he dies and gives Bastila 4 more FP
