If Tuesday's review was the swiss army knife of A&E,
then today's piece is the tank of the set. For only
14 points, you get a whopping 50 HP. The defense is
the standard wookiee 14, and the +7 is one base
point better than his other wookiee Brethren. The 10
base damage is standard for wookiees.
Now you add in what makes this wookiee a beast are
his special abilities. First off is charging
assault. I am kind of surprised by this for the
simple reason that the WFF is a rebel that came out
in the same set as Han ST, but its still a major
bonus to the piece, especially when you add in the
+10 DAM. Top that off with momentum and you have a
piece that can slam into an opponent with a +11 for
30 DAM. Considering that you get +30HP, and +10 DAM
for only four points more, i would say this piece is
very comparable to the aqualish assassin. Finally,
he has demolish which could be a great option if any
pieces from Force Unleashed bring back Damage
Reduction.
100pts: Not really much of a piece here.
150pts: He can be good here, although it is hard to
generally fit them in because of the scarcity of
points, but one of the Gencon Top 8 ran several of
these as forward meat shields with Han, Scoundrel.
If you can find the room to fit them in, they are
quite beefy.
200pts: Not only are they very good for the Rebels
here, but now you can begin to look at bringing them
into the Republic squads via Gree. Once you do that,
you can use Tarfful for an extra ATK bonus, and
Master Yoda can use them as bodyguards. You can
build lots of squads around them or use them to
round out squads. Either way their beef is
incredible as is their assaulting ability. They can
also take out either of the disruptive pieces with
two charging assaults. The only drawback is once
they are based, they become much less, but once they
slam into someone there generally isn't much left.
