45/45 Luke's Snowspeeder
20/65 Princess Leia
8/73 Obi wan Force Spirit
35/108 Han Solo Rebel Hero
8/116 Juno Eclipse
8/124 R2-D2
26/150 Golan Anti Infantry Turret

I think this squad's approach is fairly simplistic. Use Leia to give the Speeder an additional attack, Obi-wan to give the speeder renewal and mettle. Han's CE gives the speeder +12 twin for 30 with the option to reroll with mettle.
The Golan allows for gambit in the middle of the board from turn one and provides a target for your opponent to shoot at, with 120 hp and DR 10 it should gambit for at least 5 rounds to make up for it's own point cost. Plus its shot really helps with the splash. Let me know what you think, and how I can make this squad more competitive.

Depending on the matchup, I would never count on the Turret gaining 5 rounds of gambit. Especially if you get stuck on a map that isn't very open, and allows your opponent to approach. A Broken Boba squad, or B&B will chew through that turret in 2-3 rounds unless you really get up there quick and harass them with the Snowspeeder.

Like I said in the other thread, my biggest concern with this would be keeping Obi-Wan close enough to Luke to be worth it. Also, you'll have to keep Han as close to Luke as possible as well, which ruins a lot of the potential Luke's SS has with it's incredible range. At 7 activations, it's a bit light for 150 points, IMO, but probably not impossible to overcome.

Perhaps the Golan arms could be replaced with something else for the Job of Gambit collecting. what if I drop that And r2 to bring in Lobot. and 2 ugnaughts. Lobot's reinforcements can bring in something for free to help with gambit.

I like the concept of the squad but the snowspeeder being a huge can be a hinderence. But it would be a lot of fun to play a squad like this.

It's a good fun squad, I've played the Snowspeeder, Han, RH and Leia in 100 a few times and it has done quite well.

For 150 I added Lobot, R2P0 and filler, for reinforcements I brought in two Uggy Techs to heal the Snowspeeder and two uggys. The uggy techs are very useful, I would definitely try to fit at least two in.

not bad, but Obi on the speeder doesn't work so well with such a mobile figure. On Han RH it is a bit easier to use.
