Corvette Summer

Deck Design by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Strategy by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Editorial by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Date: 1999

Locations (10)-   Yavin 4   Kessel   Tatooine   Bothawui   Kashyyyk   Kiffex   Coruscant   Correllia   Hoth   Roche  Characters (9)-    Luke with Lightsaber    Obi-Wan with Lightsaber   Wedge Antilles   Leslomy Tacema   Tamtel Skreej   TK-422   Bothan Spy x3 Starships (16)-   Corellian Corvette x12   Red Leader in Red 1    Gold Leader in Gold 1   Tantive 4    Spiral Effects (8)-   Docking and Repair Facilities   Mantellian Savrip   Haven   Undercover x5 Interrupts (17)-   The Signal x3   It Could Be Worse x4   Don't Forget the Droids x2   Control x5   Hyper Escape x3

     This is a very old deck design, with a few Special Edition updates.
     It's strength is the fact is uses cheap,  tough and highly forfiet Corellian Corvettes instead of Starfighters which can be Tallon Rolled.  It also uses Undercover Spies to hinder Dark Side Ground Force drains.
     The Mains are included to provide punch when the Dark speads beyond your spy net...  The It Could Be Worses cover the rest of the possible Force loss this deck could run across.
     While it's style is antiquated, it still has punch and can probably surprise your opponent!

Enjoy!

HB Shoot 'em up

Deck Design by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Strategy by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Editorial by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Date: Apr 25, 2000

Locations (10)-   Rendezvous Point   Kessel x2   Kiffex   Dagobah   Tatooine   Yavin 4   Coruscant   Hoth   Corulag Characters (8)-   Oola x2   Figrin D'an x2   Obi-Wan with Lightsaber   Luke with Lightsaber   Han with Heavy Blaster Pistol   Leia with Blaster Rifle Starships (21)-   Red Leader in Red 1   Red Squadron X-Wing x3   X-Wing x10   X-Wing Squadron x3   Corellian Corvette x2   Tantive IV   Spiral Weapons (3)-   X-Wing Laser Cannon x3 Effects (3)-   Rebel Fleet   Planet That It's Farthest From   S-Fiols Interrupts (12)-   Direct Assault   Rapid Fire x2   All Wings Report In x2   Organized Attack x4   Grimtaash x3 Objectives (1)- Hidden Base/ More Systems Will Slip Through Your Fingers

     What's the best way to deal with Zuckuss in Mist Hunter?  Blow him straight to Mars!
     This is a deck that is actually the way Hidden Base was meant to be.  It's a space deck through and through!  Hidden Base gets in trouble when Security Precautions come into play.  Being able to blow away the Dark's probe ships, you may have a chance to keep your hidden base hidden.

Enjoy!

EBO Turbo

Deck Design by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Strategy by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Editorial by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Date: Apr 25, 2000

Locations (12)-   Hoth: Main Power Generator (1st Marker)   Hoth: North Ridge (4th Marker)   Hoth: Echo Docking Bay   Hoth: Echo Base Command Center (Warroom)   Hoth: Echo Base Corridor   Kessel x2   Kiffex   Yavin 4   Coruscant   Tatooine   Corulag Characters (8)-   General Carlist Rieekan   Captain Han Solo x2   Leia w/ Blaster Rifle   Talz x3   WED-9-M1 'Bantha' Droid Starships (15)-   X-Wing x10   X-Wing Squadron x2   Millenium Falcon x2   Tantive VI Effects (9)-   A New Secret Base   Rebel Fleet   Do, Or Do Not   Wise Advice   Echo Base Garrison   Echo Base Operations   Ice Storm x3 Interrupts (16)-   How Dide We Get Into This Mess x4   All Wings Report In x2   Rebel Barrier x3   Houjix x2   Hyper Escape x3   The Signal   I Know

     Well, just so that you can prepare for it.  Here's what your usual, run of the mill, EBO decks might look like now that A New Secret Base is out.
     It's main power relies on it's overall speed.  With Secret Base, you can grab Echo Base Garrison and use that to get your Bantha droid and the Warroom (or any Echo Base site with a scomp link for that matter).  Deploy the droid there and play as many How Did We Get Into This Mess's as you can, deploying Echo sites and the cheap to deploy Talz's.  You should be able to grab Echo Base Operations and deploy it by the second turn, third turn at the latest!
     Once EBO is up, deploy systems and X-wings like a mad fiend!  Be sure to save a decent amount of Force for Barriers and Hyper Escapes if you feel you're going up against strong space resistance.
     You have the engredients for the Super Falcon to use as a strike unit if the Dark get's sassy in sapce against you.  Remember to protect yourself with Hyper Escapes and Barriers...  Houjix out of a jam if you have to.  The key to this deck is not battling yet, running like a little child nad draining for insane amounts.
     This may not be the ultimate in EBO tech...  But, it gives you a foundation through which you can build an adequite defense.

Test 2 ROCKs

Deck Design by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Strategy by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Date: Jul 29, 2000

Locations (14)-   Dagobah   Dagobah: Yoda's Hutt   Dagobah: Bog Clearing   Dagobah: Training Area   Dagobah: Swamp   Kessel   Big One x2   Asteroid Field x6 Characters (11)-   Captain Han Solo x2   Leslomy Tacema   Luke Skywalker x2   Chewbacca x2   Wedge Antilles, Red Squadron Leader   Daughter Of Skywalker   Yoda Starships (10)-   Millenium Falcon x2   Artoo in Red 5 x2   Red Squadron 1   A-Wing x5 Effects (11)-   Rycar's Run x2   Asteroid Sanctuary x4   Anger, Fear, Agression x2   Squadron Assignments   Wise Advice   Honor Of The Jedi Interrupts (11)-   A Few Maneuvers x4   Closer ?! x2   Rebel Barrier x3   The Signal x2   Heading For The Medical Frigate Jedi Tests (2)-   Great Warrior   A Jedi's Strength Objectives (1)-   Mind What You Have Learned/ Save You It Can

     This deck focuses on the new strength of Squadron Assignments to get your high maneuver starfighters to the asteroid fields.
     First off, test 1 slows down any Dark Side high Force draining strategies, and test 2 reduces their ability to draw Battle Destiny...  Improving your deck's staying power.
     Start with Heading For The Medical Frigate to grab Wise Advice and Squadron Assignments.  Wise Advice improves your test destiny and softens the blow of any lucky Sense/ Alter draws.  Squadron Assignments is the cornerstone of this deck...  It get's your ships out in a hurry.  The Signals are in there to grab Sanctuaries and Rycar's Runs as needed...  They also recycle a 5 back into your deck.  Honor Of The Jedi eases the pain of Hunt/ Court and Your Destiny direct damage.
     Keep those Rabble Barriers hot as they will prevent any bad guys from trying to nail your ships in the Asteroid Field.  Barrier them and during their next turn, let the asteroid destinie take care of them.  Don't worry about Come Here You Big Coward as you'll easily be able to hang in the Asteroif Field (which are battlegrounds) with your high maneuver fightercraft.
     At the end game, get your A-Wings to the swamp to sink to your used pile and push those Rycar's Runs.  Solo'll be a sinch to pull them off.  Help him out with Closer?!...
     Here's how this deck adds up against various Dark Side strategies:
*Hunt Down:  Don't worry about not being able to Force drain or battle with Luke if they flip their objective.  All you really need him in there for is to stay at an Asteroid Field for the CHYBC requirements.  Honor Of The Jedi will be your saving grace here as it stops the hate from Visage.  With Test 1 in effect and the damage from the Fields and Asteroid Sancturary, this deck will not be able to compete.
Same with Bring Him Before Me.  Test 2 will make the Emperor's Power hard to work because if you can't draw destiny, you can't add to it.
*Court:  He's gonna go for his Bounty Hunter Ships as fast as he can.  Bossk In The Bus and Zuckuss will dies like dogs in the fields, don't worry about them.  Boba Fett and IG-88 will give you problems.  Be sure to Barrier them and track an asteroid field for them later.  If you local game scene likes court, you may want to consider adding in Aim High to stop any retrieval strategies he has in mind.
*Odd and Ops:  Death Star 2 really kicks these strategies in the butt.  While this deck doesn't outrightly defend against these strategies, it depend on the fear factor that other players will...
*TIE swarm:  Again, Aim High will be a must.  Barrier any Dreadnaught foolish enough to go into the fields after you.  The TIEs will be useless after that and asteroid fodder on the next turn.  Instead of going into the fields after you, they'll try to stick it out and drain race you.  You'll have the upper hand with the Sanct and the high Drains from the Big One.  Don't go to them, that's what they want you to do.

Enjoy...

Hidden Base, DS2 Style

Deck Design by: Peter Nordstrom Strategy by: Peter Nordstrom Date: Aug 16, 2000

Locations (7)-   Rendezvous Point   Coruscant    Corulag    Kessel    Kashyyyk    Roche    Kiffex Characters (13)-   Obi-Wan with Lightsaber    Luke with Lightsaber    Boushh    TK-422    General Calrissian    Nien Numb    Wedge Antillies, Red Squadron Leader    Ten Numb    Derek 'Hobbie' Klivian    R2-D2    Lietenant Blount    Tycho Celchu    Colonel Cracken Starships (10)-   Home One    Liberty    Defiance    Spiral    Nebulon B Frigate x2    Gold Squadron 1    Red Squardon 1    Red Squadron 4    Blue Squadron 5 Weapons (6)-   Heavy Turbolaser Battery x2   Intruder Missle x2    Enhanced Proton Torpedoes    X-Wing Laser Cannon  Effects (11)-   Slayn & Korpil Facilities    Honor of the Jedi    Revolution    Undercover x2    Order to Engage    Legendary Starfighter    Traffic Control   Squadron Assignments    Do, Or Do Not    Your Insight Serves You Well  Interrupts (10)-   The Signal x2    Rapid Fire x2    Stay Sharp    Power Pivot    Rebel Barrier    Desperate Reach    Slight Weapons Malfunction   Heading for the Medical Frigate Objectives (2)-   Hidden Base/ More Systems Will Slip Through Your Fingers   Hidden Base System (any you prefere) Admiral's Orders (1)-   Taking Them With Us

     The only problem I found with this deck is that it is kinda slow.
     The squadron assignments really speeds up deploying, and the Undercover spies stop you from losing to ground drains.  The weapons and high destinies in this deck will allow you to rule in space.  You can shot the Executor pretty easily with the Admirals Orders, Ten Numb, Intruder Missle. all you need to draw is a 5, and if you shoot at it with another weapon first, you only gotta draw a 2.  With the Power Pivot you can make it immediately lost.
     Use Stay Sharp to shoot your Heavy Turbolaser Batteries during your control phase to knock out a big ship. This deck seems to be able to beat my 2 dark sides, so next I will work on making those better.

Hunt Down And Destroy The Happy Fun Ball

Locations (11)-   Yavin 4 (Start)   Yavin 4: Docking Bay (Start)   Yavin 4: Massassi War Room   Yavin 4: Jungle   Yavin 4: Briefing Room   Death Star   Death Star: Trench   Home One: Docking Bay   Kiffex   Coruscant   Kessel Characters (19)-   Luke with Lightsaber x2   Obi-Wan Kenobi with Lightsaber x2   Captain Han Solo x2   Daughter Of Skywalker   Boshek   Wedge Antilles Red Squadron Leader x2   Chewbacca   Red Leader   Theron Nett   Elyhke Rue   Colonel Feyn Gospec x2   Rebel Tech x3 Starships (7)-   Millenium Falcon   Artoo in Red 5 x2   Red Squadron 1   Red 1   Red 9   Red 10 Weapons (2)-   Proton Torpedoes x2 Effects (6)-   Insurrection (Start)   Staging Areas (Start)   Squadron Assignments (Start)   Goo Nee Tay   Haven   Honor Of The Jedi Interrupts (11)-   Heading For The Medical Frigate (Start)   Organized Attack x2   Fly Casual   Rebel Barrier x2   Out Of Nowhere   Control x2   Houjix   The Signal Epic Events (1)-   Attack Run Objectives (1)-   Massassi Base Operations/ One In A Million Admiral's Orders (2)-   Taking Them With Us x2

     I've selected the starting stuff which will be the typical start all the time.  Deploy the Yavin 4: Jungle and one of the Docking Bays on your first turn, if possible.  Then deploy someone to the docking bay to secure the Staging Areas Force generation.  By the third or fourth turn you should have plenty of Force to deploy what you need to, to flip.
     Once you do flip, Daughter of Skywalker and Boshek will be your attack run candidates.  Use Luke and Obi with sticks to secure your Yavin sites or nail any Dark Side straglers, plus they can help defeat Imperial Decree.  With your high ability and the Rebel Techs on Yavin, blowing away the DS should be a snap.
     With the Death Star gone, you have some fighting capability with the Organized Attacks and Out Of Nowhere.  I'll Take The Leader, will ensure your logevity in space.

     Have fun with it, and enjoy!

Caleb's EBO

Simple and easy to play,  get EBO goin' and then use Incom Corporation to boost up the T-47's and the X-wings for battling.  With EBO X-wings are real cheap.  Beatdown with speeders and X-wings.  Only problem I see is maybe a manipulation deck.
