The new Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya has almost the same CE as Leia Rebel Hero. ("Whenever a follower within 6 squares defeats an enemy, it may immediately move 2 squares. This move does not provoke attacks of opportunity and does not prevent the use of extra attacks.")

I don't have that Leia, and have never seen her played - since I'm a post v-set player, I'm interested to hear what people used it for. I've read old threads about the "lawnmower effect", and I've seen mentioned:
- using Unleash The Force (can keep moving 2 after you defeat something)
- using Force Repulse 3
- using Lightsaber sweep with Rebel Storm Obi-Wan
- using it to move back and close a door after defeating a piece.
- using self destruct (I understand it works on Kel Dors - they can move 2 after they defeat something, so Borsk could use it on himself, since his CE includes himself?).

I imagine it could also work with Momaw Nadon - giving him some extra range.

Any ideas for the piece? He seems like he could have some pretty good uses. He also has reserves, and he's an OK shooter, so he seems like he could maybe find his way into a competitive squad or two?

Great counter to self destruct. I used her last year at Frosty-Con (subbed in through vset 4 Leia's versatility) to defeat a Klat assassin swarm.

Kill, move 2, then they blow up, you're safe. :)


The tough part is always keeping within 6 of a mouse.

Since you can bring in the Leia RH with the old Jacen Solo, can you combine the old Leia RH CE's with Borsk Fey'lya's CE? So that whenever you defeat someone, you move a total of 4 squares? That is a really serious lawnmower if that is the case. Maybe its a good thing the NR doesn't have booming voice....

If the wording is exactly the same, it might count as the same CE and not be subject to stacking. Good question, though.

I looks like it would work.

It's probably not worth the cost at 200, right? You'd need to spend 25 on Jacen, 14 on Leia, and 16 on Borsk, plus the extra movement just makes it harder to stay in range of Mouse Droids/Relay Orders.

What about Commander Luke Skywalker to extend the range, some Specforce Vanguards to do some heavy damage, and a bunch of Veteran Rebel Troopers or Red Hand Troopers? Boost them with a Rebel Officer and a Rebel Captain, and you have an effective mower.

If only Specforce troops were troopers
