    I've had my most successfull games against Dengar with Snap/Juke A-wings. One block and the others stay out of arc throwing a ton of attack dice at him. Just remember to rotate the Greens with "block", "snap" and "shoot" from turn to turn so Dengar only has suboptimal targets.

    Also my stepson has had success with QD (Adaptability) + RAC (PtL, Kylo, Vader). Dengar is a violent pilot so you must out-violence him. In one game he killed Dengar during the first round of shooting and that was the game.

    Happy friday!

    I'd like to have pre painted Green Sqd. A-wings (I only fly Greens) and a better quality paintjob for YT-2400 (it's the only ship that is absolutely hideous out of the box).

    My whole week has been a happy one. I've been on a sick leave because of work based burnout. Doctor told me to do something that makes me happy so I've been playing a ****load of X-wing!

    I'm kinda ok with my wife not playing but I wish I could pit my daughter and stepdaughter against each other for a demo game. The girls are roughly the same age (14 and 15 years) and my own daughter even asked me once "Daddy? Can you teach me to play X-wing?".

    In my last tournament (SC) I felt bad after three out of four games.

    The worst was the first matchup against one of the better local players. We were both flying uniPS3 lists of full 100pts. He had two protectorates and a scout. I had three Snap/Juke Greens and Wookiee Liberator. I won the toss for iniative and in that matchup it really makes the difference. I also had exceptionally good dice and he had equally bad. 100-0 and my Auzituck and one of the Greens were on the table with only one hull in the end. I've never seen him so frustrated.

    I think a single generic B-wing is not good enough heavy hitter to have Lando as an expensive support ship. For 50pts you can get more than a single extra action and there are way better uses for 30pts than a Blue B.  Also Green is too low PS to effectively use PtL.

    I only hope Lando with couple of supports was a valid list but there are reasons why you only see all the other named Falcon pilots being played.

    My A-wing snap-juke lists have been getting crushed by AC/Autoblasters and bombs (esp. bomblet generator).  What do you guys suggest?

    I've had a lot of training against bombs and Autoblasters. Use different speeds and angles when engaging. One blocks/snaps risking the Autoblaster shot, second takes R3 Juke shot and third k-turns or disengages. Next turn third becomes second, second becomes first and first becomes third. Your crew carrier should also be able to contribute some damage or blocking assistance. By the third turn Nym or Miranda should be dead.

    Also works against TLTs but then the risktaker is the one shooting from R3.

    I finished 8th in Store Champs last weekend. My A-wings didn't let me down, it was my own stupid mistake that probably cost me a place in top4. At a critical point in my third game (against the guy who finished 2nd) I mixed up two of my dials that had same move but different directions. Wookiees died in the alpha strike and I was pleased because that is why they are there. The screwup happened the next turn when Greens should have started a knife fight and the mistake turned one block, three snaps and a possible total of 15 attack dice into one bumb, one two dice shot and one Green turning away from the battle.

    Snap/Juke A-wings rock and the dream is still alive!

    That changes the list completely.  With 2 TIE fighters as back up, its rather terrible in terms of firepower (even with snap/juke).  If making that change, it would be much better to drop the TIE fighters and put something with more punch or more durability to help win the long game.

    But this list is not trying to win the long game.  It wants to deal devastating damage early that cripples the enemy list early on.  Its a 'go big or go home' kind of list.  Very risky and possibly will backfire sometimes, but some people are risk-takers and don't mind that.  I wouldn't run this list personally, but I can't fault the idea behind it.  

    I can however find fault in your suggestion (specifically in regards to improving this list), so hence my comment.  Nothing personal! ;) 

    I already dropped TIEs as OpSpec carrier for Auzituck but that's another story.

    Edit: had another idea for Prockets but it didn't work and removed it...

    That doesn't really make sense.  Prockets are the best part of this list...

    Snap/Juke Greens with Autothrusters can win you the game when TIEs are gone but a lone TIE can't when the Greens are gone. This list makes Greens the primary target and quite squishy and expensive at that.

    Happy friday!

    I changed my mind about Auzituck when I started playtesting it with proxies and TTS. And so much so that I made an effort to get it the very day it finally came to our FLGS. In normal traffic conditions my ride from work takes one and a half hours and that was exactly how much time I had before the store closed that day.

    EDIT (for the record): I didn't need it for some broken Biggs shenanigans. For couple of weeks I've had a spot open for 30-ish point (preferably double-) crew carrier that can take a beating...
