Poe and Dutch, with A-wing blockers

[killakan 136]

Poe Dameron

• R2-D2
• Hull Upgrade

"Dutch" Vander

• (x2) Proton Torpedoes
• Ion Cannon Turret
• Targeting Astromech
• Munitions Failsafe

(x2) Prototype Pilot

• Charaan Refit

Yet Another X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder

 

The plan is to use the A-wings as blockers and cannon fodder while Poe flanks and Dutch punches hard. What do I do to improve?

I guess no one can help me then. I thought that X-Wing players had a sense of camaraderie?

If you have Extra munitions it would be a great replacement for the second Proton, then you can upgrade from Hull upgrade to Shield upgrade on Poe, that would sync better with R2-D2.

 

Between the ion turret and protons that Y-wing is gonna be spoilt for choice for what to do each round, I bet the Ion cannon OR torpedo points would be better spent on an Elite talent for Poe, predator together with Fire control system would mean that a focused Poe practically never misses

How do you get Fire control system on to Poe?

So the A-Wings are the close escort for the Y-Wing, and Poe does a fighter sweep? I like it. I've come up with a similar idea for a build I'm calling 'The Imperial Strike Package'.

I noticed a mistake in your build. Poe is a blue squadron novice. However, if you want the 4 ships mentioned check this out:

Poe + R2-D2 + Vet. Instincts + Autothrusters (38)

Dutch + Twin Laser Turret + Targeting Astro. (31)

Prototype A-wings (chardaan) x2 (30)

Total = 99 points

Thats funny.... I just flew this yesterday and it worked very well.

 

Dutch and A wing Homies (99) '

 

"Dutch" Vander — Y-Wing 23 Twin Laser Turret 6 R3-A2 2 BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0 Ship Total: 31

Killakan, I would make these changes to your list:

 

Poe Dameron (37)
T-70 X-Wing (31), R5-P9 (3), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2)

 

“Dutch” Vander (30)
Y-Wing (23), Targeting Astromech (2), Ion Cannon Turret (5)

 

Prototype Pilot (15) x 2
A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2)

 

That's 97 points, so you could upgrade some if you want to.

The advantage here is that Poe's ability synergizes very well with that droid.

 

If you really want Proton Torpedoes, don't take them x 2 - take only one and then Extra Munitions, that'll save you 2 points and give you the exact same result.

 

Enjoy, sorry it took a while before you got any replies!
