Kazdan paratus
sc palpitine
IE lobot

107 points

okay the idea here is that with recon i up my chances to 40% that i get extra troops every turn. with palpy giving paratus BG he can keep lobot alive for recon, and 4 outta 10 turns i get more troops, the biggest one being 30 republic and 30 droid, what should i be using for the rest of the build? troops of somekind? more reinforcement peices like the BS vigo? input please

A generally good peice to add in a Palpatine Supreme Chancellor squad is a Jedi Weapon Master. I'd try to fit in at least 1 into your squad.

Kazdan is tough to run at 150 points. Generally though, you're best bet is to use Qui-Gon JM or Ki-Adi-Mundi for their 'Anticipation' Force Power. Then, on a roll where you're getting Recon, you roll your two dice for initiative, if neither of those gets you new pieces, then you use Anticipation, and roll both again! Using Anticipation ups your chances of getting Reserves to like 75% per round or something crazy like that.

chance has no memory. The Chance for reserve is always 25% for each roll (5, 10 , 11, 15, 20).
There is a 75% Chance that you gain NO new army each round.

Or the entire match...or 2 out of 3 matches of the tournament, and get killed badly. I know

There's a difference between chance, and statistics. I can never get all the calculations correct, so I don't know the exact number.

But it's something like this.

Roll 1 dice, yes, you're chances are 25%

But if you have Recon, now you're rolling two dice, so it's something more like %40

If you have Anticipation, now you're rolling the dice up to 4 times.

If at any point in this series you roll a tie with your opponent, you can roll again, which increases your chances even further.

Rodian Black Sun Vigo protects your followers from accurate shot if they have cover, and happens to have Fringe Reserves 20 to boot, adding another 20 to your army on an 11. Squad kinda looks like this now:

55 Kazdan Paratus
37 Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
24 Rodian Black Sun Vigo
15 Lobot, Computer Liaison Officer
09 R2-D2, Astromech Droid
06 Mouse Droid x2
03 Ugnaught Demolitionist
150 Points, 8 activations

Now R2 is there to rescue anyone who needs it, the Rodian protects everyone but the droids from Accurate Shot, allowing the MDs to take the shots with their 24 in cover defense, and on an 11 you get a total of 50 points of fringe reserves, with 30 points of droids coming in on a 5, 10, 15, or 20. Not bad, but beatable

One thing to remember is that its only adjacent character who gain bodyguard from SC Palps, and the Mouse Droids does nothing for that (but it does help the RBSV). So you'll have to have SC Palps, Kazdan, and Lobot all adjacent to one another.

But yeah, that is Reserves Crazy! Cause I'm interested to see, I'm gonna break it all down for what you get:
5,10,15,20 for 30pts Droids from Kazdan
11 for 20pts Fringe from RBSV
11 for 20pts Fringe from SC Palps
11 for 30pts Fringe from Lobot CLO
20 for 30pts Republic from SC Palps

Overall a roll of 5,10,11,15,20 will give you gold. But don't forget gold it easily taken away

Actually, I was referring to the Rodian's CE, which makes negates accurate shot against his followers within 6 (so Palps is a bit screwed, but Kazdan and Lobot are as normal) It isn't a HUGE help, but it keeps Lobot from getting sniped

Oh I know, that's why I stated the Mouse Droid helps for the Rodian I was just saying it sucks that it doesn't help for the Bodyguard, since the OP mentioned SC Palps' Bodyguard CE earlier.
