RogueCommander 236 Posted April 28, 2017 Had some success with this last week and wanted to give it another go with some pro-tips from you lot. It was my first real foray into the world of E Wings and I was impressed with what a pack of 3 with Toryn Farr Could do. Unless you've really ticked off the dice gods, you stand a good chance of wiping out any Squad unit you want on a given turn. A couple of things I'm still looking at: Dash or Corran? Which Objectives? Galant Haven Assault Faction: Rebel Alliance Points: 400/400 Commander: General Dodonna Assault Objective: Custom Objective Defense Objective: Custom Objective Navigation Objective: Custom Objective Assault Frigate Mark II A (81 points) - Gallant Haven ( 8 points) - Gunnery Team ( 7 points) - Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points) - X17 Turbolasers ( 6 points) = 109 total ship cost [ flagship ] Modified Pelta-class Command Ship (60 points) - General Dodonna ( 20 points) - Raymus Antilles ( 7 points) - Boosted Comms ( 4 points) - All Fighters, Follow Me!

Norell 1,138 Posted May 2, 2017 I don't get what's your goal. You have no heavy hitters, the Pelta is slow to consider it a warship and you have only red and an occasional blue dice for bombing. Reduce the E-Wings into X-Wins and drop Ketsu. Bring Y-Wings as many as you can instead, red bomber dices are just not good enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted May 2, 2017 The goal is to mess with squadrons in our squad heavy meta. E wings to take out who they want and the Biggs/Ketsu combo to tar pit. The downside, as you've said, is a lack of punch from the cap ships. I've won with it twice against some conventional fleets, but not by a huge margin, so... probably not competitive, but a fun anti-squad list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,573 Posted May 2, 2017 I can see where you're going with Biggs + YT-1300, but that seems counter-intuitive with Jamming Field. One of the big differences, between the YT and the X-Wing, is that Counter 1.... Which you're ignoring, basically... An X-Wing in that situation still shoots with 3 Blues... So yes, its more the Jamming Field that gets me... In this list... a Jamming Field Y (or B) list with Intel and the desire to ignore the crap out of the fighter game and just bomb... That I see Jamming field in... (Considering the Jamming Field Errata, anyway) 1 RogueCommander reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted May 2, 2017 I think Jamming Field is a lark, really. With the idea being a miserable morass of Biggs and the obstruction from JF and whether or not that holds them longer than non-JF. Maybe I just really want to build a 500 pt list, because this one wants Admo and a couple of more... B Wings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Also, I was surprised how effective the Pelta was at projecting a tandem forward threat with the Guppy. Not the best, but enough to maybe get lucky with a raider or CR90 that strays too close. Edited May 3, 2017 by RogueCommander Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
