Extreme Rock squads have the inherent difficulty of taking them down within the hour mark. Often times you have to settle for a 2 point win. How many people took out Sideous Jen'ari?
Regardless of the rules nobody just sits collecting Gambit without ever killing a piece. If your opponent is getting Gambit you need to get in there. Your not going to let them just win without attacking them. Thats just my two cents..
Lastly I would never be for the alteration that the higher costing character is the only one to get gambit. Why? Obikin, Gowk, Bounty Hunter challenge pieces and Father squads.
What's the strategy when they drop c3po with distraction in on your big gun in Gambit?
Cancels Gambit and and the diplomat cannot be touched. You get no advantage of bringing your into Gambit. Cheap tech pieces get the advantage.
But to answer your questions. What to do about gowk. Well first someone has to play gowk.... Secondly, if you b are b afraid of how you have to run something else. Jangalore.
Or the alternative, if gowk is such a threat YOU PLAY A MELEE PIECE!!!
Like sith'ari and baras.
Or you kill everything else while he stays on Gambit and can't do anything else...
So that's 55 points of his not really contributing much since he had to stay on Gambit.
If you bring out act and smash (thrawn swap boba) well it might not work out so well for you anymore because you are going to need to kill lots of pieces to make up Gambit.
It is a win win all over the place.
I know it's hard to think that daala and thrawn and speeder might have a disadvantage. Heck it even gives advantages over vong
All things that should be celebrated.
The opponent wants to use father go right away. Heck father and gowk in Gambit. Go ahead I will win that match.
Someone wants to pay obikin in Gambit awesome. He is actually being played. But can he stand up to sidious? Who knows. Or maybe dooku see some play!
A 85 point melee piece is being played Awesome!
Does it suck for out act and smash? Sure it does. Or vehicles that want to stay away? Sure does. Does it give you a reason to get to Gambit? Yes sir it does.
I said it before and I will suggest it again maybe it should be whichever squad has The most points invested in the Gambit area gets the Gambit points. That way you can bring cin drallig and Serra keto into Gambit and have 78 points in there
