I haven't been playing long enough to have a standby but wedge with engine upgrades makes its way into most of my rebel lists. I've also been running a fair amount of Cracken+VI+cluster missiles as most of my local game store runs big ships.

Looks like you need yourself a y wing brother more Zs won't hurt either.

Corran 35 Wedge 29 engine upgrades 4 cracken 19 veteran instincts 1 Bandit 12 Its pretty brutal against agile stuff.

I just want to say I'm impressed by how fluently you jump between measurement systems.I would love to see speeders, you'd also open the v wing from rogue squadron.

This, I almost always use Cracken with VI, I'm usually also running wedge or horn so it really optimizes thuer output.

Not sure I fully understand that one. Care to elaborate on how the list works?

I've been having fun with a few bxyz lists. Dutch is always in there and the rest is up for grabs. Was using Cracken for a bit, wedge with engine upgrade sees alot of play (for phantom). Haven't gotten to really run it against a swarm yet though.

I guess id better get around to preordering a third. Gonna be all about the chandraan refits.

Fantastic sir! Beats doing it on a dry erase board like I have. Although what would make it even better is if we could include a 2nd ship with barrel roll or boost to compare the firing arc against echo.

As a fellow 40k player I find Dutch is a solid enough force multiplier on his own. Gavin seems better on paper but my experience has definitely favored Dutch.

AP?

Generally when I'm building a list with competition in mind I ask myself how I am going to handle three things. Highly mobile ships like phantoms and interceptors, large durable ships like the falcon or doomshuttle and swarms. It's tough finding something that can reliably do all three and still be fun to play.

Asteroids are huge against phantom. Clutter the field. I fins anything with higher PS and barrel roll or engine upgrades works well. Ten Numb and or Wedge with engine upgrades on the rebel side. Cracken is also sneaky good with those types of ships.

Biggs 25 E'tahn. 32 prototype pilot w/chandraan refit 2 (30) z95 12 99 I think a wings combo with E' Tahn a little better than Zs.

Wedge in an E Wing would make my day, wouldn't have to keep giving him engine upgrades. Would also love Dutch in an x or b wing.

I was kind of thinking about doing that or maybe a hwk. I don't want him not maneuvering though. I'm guessing you played 40k. He played tau and CSM back during 5E if that helps at all.

A good friend of mine wants to get into x wing but will be slow to build his collection. I trust the guy and have no problem letting him use my models when I'm around. I'm going to start with the games in the boxed starter set but I'm sure he'll want to try a few 100 point games as well. I have a decent sized collection from both sides and I'm trying to build a few lists that are simple for him to pickup. I'm relatively new as well so I'm was hoping the community could help me get him started. for rebels I have x wing (x4) y wing (x2) a wing (x2) b wing (x2) e wing. (x1) z 95. (x3) yt 1300. (x1) hwk 290. (x1) I also purchased the gr75 so I have all x wing pilots available to me. imperial tie fighter (x5) tie interceptor (x3)including imperial aces tie bomber (x2) tie advanced (x1) tie phantom (x1) imperial shuttle (x1) firespray 31. (x1) I was thinking about building Biggs walks the dogs and a doom shuttle list to start and have him pick from that but I really want this buddy to get off on the right foot so I'd love suggestions. edit: forgot I had a hwk

This. My experience anything that moves after phantom that can boost or barrel roll does ok. I've been a fan of wedge with engine upgrades and corran horn. I've been looking at ten numb with VI as well but I like wedge just a little better right now. Or you can run both!

My buddy ran something like that and I had a four ship list including Wedge with engine upgrades who just tore the flankers apart. Granted the list I had was mindful of that sort of encounter, but high Ps with engine upgrades is ruthless against flankers.

I know FFG can only keep so many ships in "print" at a time. I would wonder if falcons are temporarily out of production with the new large ships coming out. Whenever my FLGS runs out of a ship I look to order it, if they can't order it I run to Barnes and noble and buy it there.

+1 to this question, all I know is shuttle with Vader. Are there other components?

Big reason I like b wings is that they're so effective against big ships, they don't need much maneuverability to keep after falcons etc and the three shots lets them lay down fire. But ya I'm not in love with them for chasing more maneuverable stuff.

I can't believe I haven't shouted"for the emperor" during a game yet

The one thing I'd also love to see for the y wing is bombs, in cannon it could carry them and the rebels are definitely missing out due to its lack of bombs.
