General Solo, is your strike team assembled?

Everyone’s favorite scruffy looking nerf-herder, Han Solo is a disruptive and versatile commander.  He tears up trooper units at range 2 and has some excellent command cards, but he is weak in melee and extremely vulnerable to pierce weapons.

Strengths

• Powerful and disruptive command cards
• Strong pistol attack with gunslinger
• Good save (for a Rebel unit)

Weaknesses

• Vulnerable to Pierce
• Command cards are very timing dependent
• Weak in melee
