--Endor assault fun squad--
35 Han Solo, Rebel Hero
27 Luke Skywalker, Rebel Commando
24 Chewbacca
16 Elite Rebel Commando
16 General Crix Madine
14 Princess Leia, Rebel Hero
28 Rebel Commando x2
14 Veteran Rebel Commando
13 Rebel Officer
8 R2-D2
5 C-3PO, Ewok Deity
(200pts. 12 activations)
Ok, first off, I would have used 3 Veteran Commandos but i personally only have 1 and I thought it would be unfair of me to build a squad I wouldnt be able to build (if that makes sense?)
Its not overly strong this squad, There are better Chewies, Lukes and Leia's but they fit the theme. Technically I know Crix wasnt on Endor but he did plan the assault and the officer is dressed for Hoth but never mind. Obviously having the droids in there is going to hamper the attacking options but for 5 points Threepio isnt as bad as he might be.
Also i only realised after, Luke gets the Bonus from Crix, so 12 attack doing 40 damage THEN add in Cunning as well. Thats 16 attack for 50 damage and Double attack AND Greater Mobile attack AND Hans CE another + dmg for a total of 60! Maybe this Luke might just be pretty awesome after all. Im so glad I opted for him and not the Jedi Knight Luke as I was originally.

Luke, Rebel Commando is a very good piece. I'm not sure I understand your math, however. Luke already has cunning attack, so he gets an upgrade to cunning attack 20 from Madine. So, if he attacks a character who has not activated he gets two attacks, at +12, that do 50 damage each. 20+20 (cunning attack) + 10 (advantageous attack). I'm not sure where you get the +16 attack from? Also, why use Rebel Commandos, when Veteran Rebel Commandos are the same price. Also, Chewbacca, Fearless Scout is one point cheaper, and a far better piece. I'm assuming you are just going with what you have? One of the earliest squads I tried to do here was an Endor themed squad. It is in no way competitive, but it was a fun attempt to make Ewoks useful. http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/93449/now-ewoks-have-blasters--ho-ho-ho

As stated I only have one vet commando and Han grants all followers Advantageous attack (+10) hence the 60 damage. Again, Chewie Scout I dont own :( However, he would not have looked right with his breath mask on in the middle of Endor.
I like your squad, looks fun! I could go pretty crazy if I didnt stick to a theme rigidly. id have all kinds of fun going on!
Your comments are appreciated and yes, the Vets would easily be a better option and I agree Scout Chewie as well but you play with what you have and thats what I have. :)

As Rikalonius mentioned, Cunning Attack and Cunning Attack +20 do not stack since they are the same named ability. You get the larger of the two bonuses.

I think I know where the misunderstanding is, I was referring to dmg in a round not in a single attack.
Thanks Squelch, Muchos Gracias :)

I am playing a 300 pt version of this theme in my monthly 6+ player match. I have two Reb Commando Strike Leaders, because of the Super Stealth they provide to the commandos AND Luke. First time I played I bungled my movement, put both Strikes in the same room within range of an opponent's Infestation. But for the first 3 rounds, I was untouchable. If I don't make a knucklehead move next month, I think I got a real chance of surviving to the end game.
This is what I'm throwing out in April:
35 Han Solo, Rebel Hero
34 Lando Calrissian, Rebel Leader
27 Luke Skywalker, Rebel Commando
21 Commando on Speeder Bike
36 Rebel Commando Strike Leader x2
32 Elite Rebel Commando x2
14 General Rieekan
98 Veteran Rebel Commando x7
You're thinking much more strict theme-wise. I had Crix, but I think Rieekan makes the team more competitive, though breaks the theme a little. I would definitely think about making room for the Strike Leader if you have one. Maybe dump 3P0 and the Officer? It will, at the very least, aggravate opponents who think they are getting a creampuff theme squad and then find they can't target these guys even though they are staring right at them.

 I used the commando on speeder yesterday.  It's useless in today's meta. cost WAY to much for a lousy 30 HP, and a speed of 6 makes strafe Very tough to pull off. this piece needs serious updating .( r u listening V-set dudes?) please don't use this out dated piece. (unless you want to lose)

That is worse than getting Greater Mobile Attacked.
