– Stormtroopers (44): DLT-19 Stormtrooper (24) = 68 – DF-90 Mortar Trooper (36): Comms Relay (5) = 41 – General Veers (80): Electrobinoculars (8) = 88 We call this sort of list “800 points of Luke.” Example 2: You’ll notice that Luke is 229 points, over a quarter of the list’s total points, and that everything else has had to become lower quality (with the exception of R2-D2.) The list also runs all six of Operative Luke’s command cards. R2-D2 provides an extra activation, an additional win condition, and can repair the rotary RTs. The SX-21 squad follows Luke in, becoming a good target for his You Serve Your Master Well. A supporting gunline of rotaries, snipers and two DLT-20A troopers cover Luke’s approach from range and take care of objectives. Standing OrdersĪs you can see, this list revolves entirely around getting Luke into combat safely and supporting his push.– Luke Skywalker (200): Force Push (10), Force Reflexes (10), Jedi Mind Trick (5), Tenacity (4) = 229 These lists most closely resemble the lists that were possible out of the core box and the first wave of expansions, and make up, by my estimation, roughly half of what’s currently played. Meanwhile, the points cost has lowered the relative quality of the units surrounding it. If they fail to perform, either by dying early (because you were too aggressive) or failing to do their job (out of position) you’re probably going to lose. The main drawback is that you’re heavily invested in one unit. Think of Sabine’s bombs and jumping ability, or Emperor Palpatine’s force lightning spam and Pulling the Strings – these abilities can easily turn a losing game around. Sometimes they simply carry the game by virtue of being who they are. The centerpiece unit is very powerful stat-wise with unique abilities, and therefore very influential, causing large ‘swings,’ – events that tip the balance of the game in the opposite direction. The rest of the list is dedicated to supporting the centerpiece and carrying out objectives. You have a single expensive unit that’s the center of the list, the sun around which everyone else revolves. Standard lists consist of a leading actor and supporting cast. It can also work the other way: you are in love with a faction but aren’t tied down to playing any character in particular, but want to try a different type of list than the one you’ve been playing already. Sometimes the hero you want to play has a high points cost and that pushes you to play a particular style. You’ll find that certain heroes plug into these archetypes more easily than others.
