Executor, it would be nice if you would realize that you are offering up your opinion, not dispensing sage truths to the masses. Based on your last two posts here you come off as quite arrogant.
You may indeed run into force crushing Vaders everywhere but they are not pervasive where I play. I've played in 3 SC this year and did not see Vaders crew once. In the SC I won I was very happy with the auto thrusters/stealth combo on Soontir.
Your opinion may be absolutely correct in your meta. I just wish your posts could drop the condescension.

On your Phantom list it would be good to drop Marksmanship It. isn't worth the points. Also consider Intel agent. If you have phantoms being outbid on PS it's very good to know where ps 8 and up are going.

I've flown this a couple of times:
Keyan Farlander (40)
B-Wing (29), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Opportunist (4)
Jan Ors (31)
HWK-290 (25), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Nien Nunb (1)
Wes Janson (29)
The potential of rolling 6 reds is a lot of fun.
Fun but Wes or Jan can get focused down pretty quick. Replace Jan with Biggs and the Keyan/Wes synergy can last for a while.

You could also drop Mauler to Dark Curse then go BOunty Hunter w rec spec.

For 46 points Chewie w MF title and 3PO is a better tank than Leebo I feel.
-
I would drop dash and pred off of Chewie in favor of 3PO and Lone Wolf.

I like it except I would use stealth over Hull upgrade.

Recon spec is better than merc copilot IMO. i think tactical jammer is a waste. Sounds good in theory but too situational on the table.
Overall I don't think this list has enough offense and it will be hard to get tactical jammer to work with Han restricted to greens most of the time. Prot rockets are too expensive. You're paying 3 points and a focus to roll four dice once.
Don't disparage Soontir Fel. With auto-thrusters and stealth device he could probably defeat this list by himself. Yes I'm serious. 3 dice out of arc shots are simply not going to go through.
Maybe consider rec spec and jan ors on Han. Focus and evade for a single action. I know you don't have 3PO but that card and EU are what really make Han shine.

Prox mine lobbing Firespray. The pilot who can use the 1 and 3 straight and 3 sharp templates. He has lots of options to hit arc dodgers with his bombs.
-
Sure it is a strong list but there are plenty of good players out there who will make it very difficult for you to get even one range two shot a turn. PS2 Bwing is very dodgeable.

I think that you are spending too many points on a ship that you intend to do damage to it yourself (vader on shuttle). Most players will avoid shooting it until it is the last ship on the table. If that happens you're in a bad spot most likely anyway.

You can justify EU keep your arc but I think I would take off Rebel Captive.

Played in a store championship this weekend that was a little strange. 19 players so it should ha e been either 5 rounds of Swiss with a winner declared or 3 rounds of Swiss with the top 4 going to elimination rounds.
After 3 rounds there was a cut to the top 4. After the first round of elimination the TO declared a winner because he had to get home for a TV show. Everyone was scratching their heads on this. The winners of the elimination round played on their own for the plaque and the Regional bye card.

Yes, we were running multiweek league with timed matches to ensure we get in 3 games a week. For clarification, the guy I refer to as the TO was actually just filling in for the week to help out as the TO was out of town. We all thought that the rule was initiative gets win in case of tie.
I am happy to report that my opponent in this game and I sat down to a friendly last night and had a good game so it appears there are no hard feelings.

Did not read upthread so sorry if this is old info but he had surgery today for a broken ankle and pelvis.
-
Seeing how fast a Bwing with one agility can get focused down, I think it is too risky to take him to 0 agility for one extra attack die. I see Decimators get focused down fast all the time and they have double the hit points of Farlander.
-
I thought you were referring to the models, which I agree do suck. Two new paint jobs, meh. The Scyk is tiny and looks like is is going backwards, star viper looks like either an insect or a butterfly and the aggressor is too small and looks cheap to me.
Great meta changing expansion though. Lots of new stuff and I'm excited to see how it all shakes out.

I cannot stand D&D: AW. Dragons are aerodynamically implausible. Makes me freaking crazy. The only way they could possibly work is if they were giant hydrogen gas bags, and even that rubs me the wrong way. Dragons...grumblegrumble. If they want to have non-airplanes or non-starfighters, use birds of prey. They're beautiful and intelligent and incredible fliers. Let's face it, Peregrine Falcon vs Northern Goshawk is a way cooler match-up than some lame sky lizards.
While I can suspend my disbelief to enjoy dragons, hey they're magical, I must say Birds of Prey would be awesome. Makes me remember the video of the Golden Eagle grabbing goats off of a cliff, flying away and dropping them to their deaths hundreds of fett below. Yeah, raptors are bada**.

I'm sure you think you are being funny, but there is some awfully insensitive comments in here. Grow up.
Geez calm down. The guy has a history of crashing aircraft and from the reports I read the injuries are not life threatening. I'm sure no one here wishes him anything other than a quick recovery.

I just lost to a list very similar to this last night. The prox mines on Emon worked very well.

D&D attack wing is very fun so far.
Mechanics a bit different but mostly same. Bumping is no biggie that's the main difference.
I am buying them as miniatures to play attack wing, other board games and Pathfinder/D&D with.
X wing is better overall at the moment its fully flushed out.
But DnD attack wing designers Andrew and other fellow (Sorry forget name) they seem very pro active on the boardgeek forums and are really putting in a real effort.
I collect both games at the moment.
Trying to resist Age of Sails.........
I wiuld love to play Age of Sails but worry about finding folks to play with.

Vader, Backstabber and Mauler => 35 pts left, what to do?!?

i feel that Stealth Device is much better against HLCs which I tend to see many more of than auto damage such as Vader Crew or Ten Numb Mangler Cannon.
