    I Did It!




    Strategy:

    Pretty straight-forward. Get ships out, spread out the drains and cancel opponent's force drains. Keep the hidden base out of reach of the other systems. Lots of retrieval from Podrace (lots of high destiny cards in here) and OMDH (which itself is a lovely destiny 6 card). Plus, the combo of I Did It added to spending one to draw one from flipping the objective really chokes their force pile.

    If opponent plays SYCFA, they'll have to spend an extra turn deploying and probing Alderaan first before blowing it up (which means no deploy -2, and no retrieve 3 from A Million Voices) or blow it up and then have no opportunity for probing it. Use Bith Shuffle to slow down Dark Surgeon decks or players trackinig destinies. Slow down Dark Deal and You May Start Your Landing decks by cancelling drains from the flipped objective. Small "strike force" with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Lando ... hopefully enough to keep Menace Fades in effect a few turns anyway, further stifling those decks.

    Premiere Luke?? Sure! He deploys for free on R2 in Red 5, and that makes Red 5 power 8 and maneuver 8 ... all for a deploy of 2 to Rendezvous Point. Plus he lets me activate one more force when not at Tatooine. But if my opponent plays BHBM , I've got Jedi Luke in there just in case.

    Comments welcome. Post or PM. Thanks!
