You mention Echo Defense Fighters, so did you intend to put in "Sensors are Placed" instead of "Echo Base Defense?"

Do you think that putting in Rebel Fleet instead of Mobilize Squadrons would be an improvement as you are really only using Mobilize for the objective and the extra Rebel Assault? I ask, because I have a similar version of this with Rebel Fleet that I have tested. My only concern about it is having enough Hoth Objectives to guarantee that Hoth Ops and APD are always live. I have had drops where I get Defense of Yavin 4/ Rebel Fleet on the table and only have two Hoth objectives versus a DS having two or three and making Hoth Ops and APD useless. Is the extra offense worth not having these two objectives work for you on occasion? Your thoughts?

Also, thanks for building a deck for us 1 Core folks

Definitely meant Echo Base Defense. The Wilderness Fighters are pretty awesome, and the subzero defense can be really important. I personally prefer in an aggro style deck cover fire. Striking with 3 or 4 units and then sac'ing another unit to get shields on all your strikers simply wins games and keeps your most important units alive (or not locked down). You also get the Objective itself an a Rebel Assault.

I'll have to take another look at Cover Fire then, thanks.

This deck is illegal. The affiliation chosen does not allow Mobilize the Squadrons.

Thank you Ironswimsuit. Corrected (at least here).

At that point, you could either switch the affiliation of swap out Mob for Rebel Fleet and suggested earlier.

I think keeping mobilize the squadrons is a fun call. It's such a good objective. And having a Trench Run come out of nowhere is a nasty surprise.
If Prepare for Evac needs to go to keep it, adding a second Prep for Battle, and a Sensors are Placed might work. This deck wins edge. An Echo Defender with Survival Gear be pretty mean.

Do people play Trench Run much? How would you use it? I would think that it would be easier for the DS player to defend one "objective" than three, or do you only put it out when you can do 10 damage in one turn? Say put it out once you have a load of speeders, then go?

I wouldn't worry too much about what other people are doing with Trench Run. When or if to play the card is definitely a tactical call, so here are some things to consider. This deck does all right with edge battles. This deck has Preparation for Battle, which, I'll let you ponder. This deck has Rogue 3 and Wedge. This deck also has a way to hand out focus tokens. Will you try to use Trench Run as often as possible? Probably not. But having it on the board is one more thing for your opponent to worry about. It doesn't HAVE to be in the deck, though. Also, protector y-wings aren't too good to pass up. We could come up with a dozen variations on this build, each with their own merits.
