Strategy: '
the strats for this are pretty general, not too many sections to it...)
AGAINST GROUND DECKS
*pull madine and solo w/ strike planning, pull home 1 DB w/ insurrection, as well as deploying all other DBs. put someone at Home 1 DB for activation first turn.
*drop madine and a scout to another DB, pump up that sites strength with a main or 2 and more scouts that madine can pull
*drop solo to endor DB, get him a scout or two, chewie w/ caster would be nice
*after this is set up, u are getting a good bit of activation, try to spread to more DBs asap, but do not get beat in battle. that is your oppenents job
*scouts have nice forfeit with insurrection, kick out their uniques with oola.
AGAINST SPACE
*this is obviously going to be hard against a good space deck. get the activation going as normal, drawing up as well to get a decent fleet.
*stick your guys in a strategic point or two, try to beatdown on a loner at a system with tantive 4s ability to deploy w/out icons
*put some guys on the starships to forfeit to keep your weapons of mass destruction alive
*try to drain for at least 5 a turn on the ground, you cannot get much more than that anyways, unfortunately
-delvar is good anti epp
-kensaric is good for an early game scout pull, increases opponents deploy
-ketwol is king of the docking bays
-advantage is the legendary starfighter of the ground forces
-I have a bad feeling about this is good - retargets interrupts and uttini effects away from mains
-armed and dangerous pulls matching weapons
-chewies caster is basically a wookie lightsaber (but it targets vehicles too)
RESPONSES TO ORIGINAL DECK REVIEWS
-The scouts + madine are good for quick occupation of docking bays for more activation
-SOS may seem weird, but he can pull Anikans saber to help boost drains, and in this deck every bit counts '
