Here's what I would like to know.
Do you enjoy playing with Han in Carbo?
What's your strategy playing against him? (just leave someone behind to watch him?)
Do you have any good strategies for winning while playing with him?

I haven't played with han in carbonite, but when playing against some one who is using him, i try to create a guantlent that my oppenent would have to run through to get him out. Till then, they will be down in point values.
Possibly as a way to get him out is to run up a force ghost and a diplomat or something to get by all those people to get han out.

Possibly as a way to get him out is to run up a force ghost and a diplomat or something to get by all those people to get han out. Those are good examples of tactics from both sides. The Diplomat/Ghost trick is pretty cool, but probably hard to pull off all the way across the map. IMO, your best bet would be to use a high movement piece like a snowspeeder (or the landspeeder), swoop bike etc. Hopefully you are playing on a map where Han isn't stuck in a locked room, or you will need Override as well.

Essentially, you use a character that will not normally be attacked to free Han. I would suggest the ghost. Most people can angle their figures so they can attack diplomats.

I do need to try Han in Carbonite out again with Leia, Diplomat, Ghost Obi, and Han Smuggler. Pity Rebels don't have access to Force Phase.

the biggest problem i see with han in carbonite is while you are spending your time trying to get at han, your opponent is owning your team that started the skirmish down in points.
he would have been a lot better if your opponent had to place him within "X" from the center of the map.

Ghost by itself does not work to free Han - it is never considered adjacent. But your enemy can draw LOS to it (which is why a Diplomat works with it - can't target Diplomat while a non-Diplomat is in LOS. Can't shoot the ghost either.  BUT, they will position their characters to only see the diplomat if they know what they are doing, which is why that trick is very hard to pull off

Makes this much harder to pull off. I would call it a scenario only piece.
