| | A couple of my friends love the beasts and someone always plays the acklay. What is the best way to get rid of it. I tried using Captain Antilles to give everyone a bonus, but he ended up getting overwhelmed. Any ideas? | |

| | Lightsabers, things that always do 20-30 damage, AT-ST, Flash Speeder, Missles, Chewbacca, Han. | |

| I'd go with a mix of republic shooter and Jedi. How about Captain Antilles directing a Squad of Naboo Soldiers. That way your Republic Jedi can whack away at the Beast while the troops shoot at it. The Naboo Soldiers will not take penalties for shooting through the Jedi, Antilles will boost their attack from +3 to +7.

| | Has anyone used senate guards with Antilles, or mixed in some Elite Hoth troopers? | |

| Technically you can't use the Hoth's with Antilles, (well Captin A anyways not same faction).
I have only been running him in either a 100 pt Alder squad, him, Bail and bunchs of Ald troopers and they do decent damage, and the Bail bonus more than makes up (with combined fire) any cover the guy would have. The combined fire, Bails bonus, Capt A, if they are targeting Fringe it's over for fringe.
In 200 point addsin some of the Senates and a few others, which can be nasty but not as nasty if they aren't fringe. | |

Take advantage of the Acklays Savage and use Ewoks to tie it up.
If you are in a timed game, you might never have to deal with it. Otherwise, take out the rest of you opponents squad while the Acklay is stuck killing 3pt figures, and then focus on the Acklay. | | | |

| | against that powerful melee enemy i would use a range strategy, find heavy hitters from distance and use some low cost creatures to take advantage of the savage ability. | |

| Thanks for all the help. I finished the Acklay off with Antilles, 3 senate guards and elite and regular clone troopers to finish off.

| | Wow really heavy damage! But remember that not everything is the acklay... maybe you opponent could use other worst things to follow the acklay. | |
