If I was the New Republic player and won initiative, I would start by trying to take out Yoda in order to get back access to my force powers. I would bring Mara besides Shado and attack Yoda, combining with the Gallactic Scout on the first attack, and with the Bith on the second one. Then, I would activate Kyle and make a triple attack against Yoda, needing 2 out of 3 to hit to terminate him. If he is defeated by the second attack, the third one would go against the Troop Cart, hopefully defeating it. On the second round, I would concentrate on defeating Shaak Ti, preferably with Mara if she survived the first round.

If I were the rebel player and won initiative, I'd try to eliminate Kyle first to restore my commander effect and eliminate a serious threat before it activates. The Landspeeder would activate first, attacking Kyle twice, combining once with the Rebel on Tauntaun. I would then activate Shaak Ti and try to finish Kyle with a Double cunning Attack. The secondary target would be Mara, if she is within range in the second round.

Darth Waste I think you have your factions mixed up.

Why not just take out the cart. There is a chance that the passangers could parish with it. and If you move adjacent you could lightsaber assault attacking Yoda with one and the cart with the other I think.

I edited the faction mix up, but I stand by my target. The annoying Force Defense is why I would go against Yoda first in this case: it really hampers the team's offensive capacities. Attacking the cart to defeat Yoda indirectly will most probably fail: you have about 1 in 256 chance that Yoda will fail his save and his 3 potential re-rolls...

I've seen a Yoda Force Alter an attack three times and the last being a critical-killing-hit. :D Remember it can swing either way.

To Ulic: Why not, you still get 2 attacks and they lose 3 force against your 1, I'd take my chances. Once Yoda has no force you can kill other threats. I'd have Vao Presision the Cart once or twice, depending if Yoda Cancels the first one, needs 5 to hit. If Shaak Ti survives and Yoda did cancel one or spends too many force Altering or saving, Mara goes Lord Vader on her with the Assualt, combining with the guard and first attack and kills her off.

If I were the new republic I would have shado vao precision the cart. This will make yoda use force points to stop or loose the cart. Even if yoda does it 3 times the cart will still take 30 points. Yoda is down to 2 force points at this time. Even if landspeeder uses force altar. you still have 1 attacks for twenty if yoda doesn't try to stop it if he does he still will use up 2 force points. Then second attack with precision no landspeeder problem because it doesn't have master of the force yoda is out of force odds it will hit cart dies if not has only 20 left. and you can greater mobile away.

Then have kyle attack and kill the troop cart. yoda will have to use his last 2 fp to save cart. If cart dies on first attack then use the other 2 attacks on the luke and ben landspeeder. Yoda will have to accept its save 50% chance he is gone because he is out of force points. Shaak tee rolls save if failed uses force up one maybe 2 if 2 uses up its force and is down to 3. the rebel survivor if any would then have to decide if they want to go out the door to keep door open and be open for attacks or to the side were one space will keep the door open or other spaces or back by han and have the front door close. If no survivors this will close the door and force the rebels to activate to open. Kyle will have to stand fast and keep gambit.

Second set of two would concentrate on killing shaak tee. If door is closed blow up with ugnaught and have mara twin assault, again probably lose the assault to the landspeeeder force altar but shaak tee will have to defend against 2 attacks. And yoda if alive will use up his 2 force he gains to keep shaak tee from getting hit.
if door is open mara to shaak tee still. then move the bith to within 6 of her and shoot the landspeeder. ( If shaak tee has been moved then mara will shoot shaak tee instead.)

for the rebels
I'll get back to you(I'm thinking)
Every move in this game is a mistake,  the hope is that your opponent makes a bigger mistake when he makes his move.

You'll get zero attacks, since you replaced them and they got canceled.

@Star,
Mastershaper is correct on this one. If you use any ability that Replaces Attacks and for whatever reason that is stopped then you don't get your attacks. You have replaced them in order to use that ability.

So if you assault and it gets canceled then you've moved and don't get to attack.

Considering the fact that Mara can do 120 dmg with an assault there's no way that Yoda burns enough force to not deal with that.

Also, the Cart already has only 10 hit points left, so I don't understand the need to use precision against it. I dont understand why New Republic would focus on the Cart, it can do nothing by itself and can't move without dying first. Even if it dies, the chance of that defeating Yoda or Shaak ti are more than slim. On top of that, it actually helps many New Rep characters be "adjacent" to potential targets (Yoda).
