Sorry to ask but fairly new to game...tried searching backwards and just got totally overwhelmed so asking a simple 2 questions:

My son (age 16) wants to build an entire squad of ewoks based on the concepts no deeper than the movie (so you could throw in a C3PO Ewok diety or maybe a chewbacca [but not the hoth chewbacca]...hope that makes sense). Guarenteed you could pimp out the force by adding in other stuff that has no connection to the movie.. we know that. What he wants is the best ewok army built without extra stuff (like lobots or ugganughts or sith lords or or or etc). What is the best balance of the specific ewoks in that army as well.. scouts, warriors, regulars, gliders, logray (or not), Wikket (or not), c3po diety (or not), a RotJ era han solo or princess leia on speeder bike (or not)... what would you do and how would you suggest he play it. He just wants to beat his pals with ewoks but not be untrue to the concept.

That said, and far more evil, is my desire to eventually beat his ewoks with my wookie only army... what combination would you suggest I use in the same vein but not just to beat him but to have a similarly "true" wookie army?... and how many of each (scouts, warriors, berserkers, etc) would you put in? Merumeru? Tarfful? which Chewbacca?.

Any help would be wonderfully appreciated! I am sure others have asked the same before but as I searched all i found were armies that had mixes of all kinds of things that did not mesh fluidly into a "my simple ewoks/wookies just crushed you" concept. with specifics because we both get the tarfful beaten out of us regularly by the local players...

Thanks again... I await your reply

All wookiees/ewoks wouldn't be a tier-1 (or probably even tier 2) type squad, so it would take quite a bit of skill and luck to pull off a win versus a more competitive squad. I look forward to seeing the ideas, though.

With no door control, a squad would be all but sunk from the outset. Staying true to the movies, though, you could throw in a couple of Elite Rebel Commandos to get some override. Even without Madine or Rieekan they're tough.

so far thanks for all the ideas! yoda is great with the wookies! no chewbacca or tarfful? i'd skip the younglings and uggnaught so what would you put in instead? is yoda on kybuck better? second try? pleaseeeee! ;-)

as to ewoks... there are still too many "non-ewoks"... no hang gliders? no logray? no wickett? he doesn't mind the extra activations if they can be useful... one or two of the others would be ok but too many rebel characters to make it feel excessively ewokey... and thats the goal... willing to give it a second try too?

we KNOW these won't be the best squads... we just want them the best combo of PURE ewoks/wookies with a couple extras... thanks again for the great start and love anyone else to help too!

General Ed... is that the best Chewbacca (thats not a Hoth or such) and Luke (not early Luke or late/spirit Luke) to throw in there? I have, literally, come into possession of several thousand Imperials and have focused soley on them till now... everything else to me is new! lol

Why those choices for Chewbacca, Luke and even ratios for the ewoks? I love the input and what you have looks exactly like what he is envisioning... now curious why those rations? And why not the combined c-3po and R2d2 mini and/or more ewoks? The Ewok diety, although cute, seems to suck

Still looking for Wookie squad too...again pretty pure to wookies

Merumeru 38
Chewbacca FS 23
r2-d2 AMD 9
Grand Master Yoda 55
Wookiee Elite Warrior 19
Gree 20
Wookiee Scoundrel x 3= 33

I am no squad maker like some of the guys here, but wookiees are going to suffer from lack of attacking power, so Merumeru offers bonuses when close quarters, GMY and Gree are tough in their own right, and offer a +7 attack and +3 defense, so when adjacent your wookiees are going to run at 17 attack and 17 Defense. The elite warrior can run and hit at +21 and 30 damage, with bonuses afforded, or Chewie at +20 attackand 20 defense.

Gree is better than Tarfful as you dont have to be adjacent to get the bonus.

R2 can drag yoda or one of your big wookiees around to get close and hit the opposition big characters hard

@Dragobsheorth: You don't have to go with those exact ratios of Ewoks. It's just a suggestion. I recommend a having the Ewok Warrior for non-melee attackers. Chewbacca, Rebel Hero not only is the Endor version of him but can also help keep your droids alive and is a nice attacker as well. You ae free to mix up which R2 and C-3PO you want to use. Luke Skywalker, Rebel Commando is also the Endor version of him. He is a descent Melee piece and levitate will help with getting other characters into place.

I would have said FS is the best choice in terms of price/hp/abilities, you get stealth, stable footing and artillerist (useful against lancers, etc)

Rebel hero is ok too, but for point cost think I would always take the FS version.

I looked at GMY just because of his CE, he is decent fighter in his own right. You could as easily go for clone strike ( to get reroll saves), or Jedi Master for the bodyguard, but I think with this squad GMy probably fits better.
