As much as low numbers is a gamble I like the third list the best, if only because barrel rolling big ships is hilarious, especially against elite lists (looking at you Wedge, Biggs, and Luke).

Garven Dreis Red Squadron pilot "Dutch" Vander -Ion Cannon Turret Gold Squadron Pilot -Ion Cannon Turret total 100 pts. I'm still not sure how I would array this list in formation, but I'm leaning toward putting the Y-wings on the outer edges while the X-wings stay in the centre. That way I can discourage flanking while still getting Garven and Dutch to focus/TL each other every turn until one of them blows up. Thoughts?

In this case you're definitely gonna wanna rush carnor right at them, out of primary arc. No focus tokens spent means no blaster turret for them, and the rest of your guys can focus fire and destroy them

why not refit the greens as well and put a mod on somebody

its an online board game program (I have no idea how to use it though)

You should try Dutch for the free target locks while everyone else is going for mobility, something like this Wedge Antilles -R2 D2 -Expert Handling Ibtisam -System Upgrade -Push the Limit -Engine Upgrade Dutch Vander -Blaster turret 100 points or swap out ptl on ibtisam for veteran instincts so the system upgrade is more useful to you and give dutch an r2 astromech and an ion cannon

I play once a week at my local game store and its not enough, I'm absolutely rabid for this game at the moment and my roommates are so adamant about not playing it... it suuucks.

That's what I thought, thanks

Say I've got a cluster missile and already have a tl on my target, can I use marksmanship to modify both attacks on the missile, or is it just the first?

Aka. The normal damage dealt with Assault Missiles. Not sure what this means. What does Assault Missile damage have to do with the dice? You need to roll for the missile's damage to the primary target, but everything at range 1 of it automatically take the damage because the missile has 'hit' the target weather or not it actually takes damage

I don't like XXBB in general, it just feels rude. You should run the ps6 champs and put a saboteur on Yorr or a targeting computer on one of the squints (unless you're trying to default initiative).

That's actually about what I've been thinking after everyone's feedback I completely forgot that HLC autocancelled the crits, I was mistakenly remembering that someone had them on a bounty hunter of some sort for 4 dice at any range (it was actually on a shuttle)

I'm trying to build a list with a Firespray at its centre but everything I throw together doesn't seem that great (in my mind's eye at least). Here's what I've got so far Kath Scarlet (48) -Heavy Laser Cannon -Marksmanship Howlrunner (23) -Swarm Tactics -Stealth Device Night Beast (17) -Targeting Computer Academy Pilot (12) The idea being use Kath as a flank ship that's always stressing them out (hopefully) with marksmanship and running the ties as a mini swarm til they fall apart and Kath can clean up. Any suggestions?

Col. Vessery -Outmaneuvre Col. Jendon -Fire Control System -Weapons Engineer -St-321 Black Squadron Pilot (x2) 100 point list that makes absolutely sure Vessery's special ability is always going off. Set him up as the flank ship and watch the rebels cry as their shields melt and ships fall to pieces.

Idk, I was dancing with Soontir Fel in a 1v1v1v1 at 33 points as Tycho today and I was reaally missing that barrel roll, was only a matter of time until he out turned me if he hadn't lost interest and gotten dropped by Wedge that he tried jousting.

I installed vassal, but I can't seem to figure out what everything does/ am too lazy to search through help documents to figure out how it ll works....

Just today I hade a list of 4 ints vs 5 TIE fighters, most of which had ptl and/or targeting computers. in the end it was down to Turr Phennir untouched vs Mauler Mithel untouched and I managed to sneak Turr into range 1 right behind Mauler for a hit hit crit crit finisher

I think you guys are forgetting something, especially for Tycho: PTL+ Expert Handling. Now he's an interceptor with an extra shield, an extra green, and never being tl'd

Rebels: Get two or three b-wings if you want tankiness and flexibility, another Y-wing if you want ion turret control, and A wings for Push the Limits and fast flankers. Imperials: Interceptors are ridiculously fun to run. They take some learning, as they're as squishy as a tie fighter yet nimble as an a-wing with a built in boost. I would get one of them and imp. aces. As far as the big ships go they're all fun, pick your favorite and grab it up

I'm thinking about doing that to see if I can actually make that list work tomorrow XD

Every seasoned X-Wing player knows the Hwk-290 is a support ship, meant to stay in back and lob buffs/debuffs at friends/enemies. I challenge that statement with this list, Behold! Kyle Katarn -Blaster Turret -recon specialist -Moldy Crow Rebel Operative -Blaster Turret -Recon Specialist Rebel Operative -Ion Cannon turret -Flight Instructor Rebel Operative -Ion Cannon Turret

I feel like you're putting too many eggs in one basket with the second one, you can easily fit 4 interceptors with plenty extra mobility over the ties with this Turr Phennir -32 points -Push the Limit -Shield Upgrade Lt. Lorrir - 23 points Royal Guard Tie - 25 points -Push the Limit Avenger Squadron pilot - 20 points Not as much pilot skill there, but you don't have to worry about losing one ship as much and you can zip around like crazy.

Honestly I'd say the B wing should be the de facto beginner ship. It hits hard, has a decent dial and is very forgiving as far as tankiness goes without having a turret.

personally I like Expert Handling on him. Makes those pesky low PS B-Wings lose their TL on me and doesn't affect my free boost.

Tomorrow's boardgae day? Good thing it happens to be normal X-wing day at my game store of choice
