... maybe I'll climb into the cockpit of an X-Wing - after my Tie Bomber Squad was a complete desaster, I may switch sides only for a moment ^^

It should be Wedge and Luke ... I faced Wedge so often now - and I hated him every time.

And why Luke? I like the idea having an extra-durable X-Wing on the field. Lukes ability makes it a tank.

Biggs would be the next logical choice - but then its too obvious. I want to try a bit of variation ...

====================
Wedge, Luke + Horton
====================

100 points

Pilots
------

Wedge Antilles (29)

Luke Skywalker (33)
X-Wing (28), R2-D2 (4), Draw Their Fire (1)

Horton Salm (38)
Y-Wing (25), Proton Torpedoes (4), Proton Torpedoes (4), Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Thats my first idea. Together they should be able to kill an enemy key ship in the opening salvo, or even 2 Tie Fighters. But would this squad survive a complete swarm of 7 or 8 Tie Fighters?

So hard to go with a 3 ship build... Once Wedge gets taken out (he will be everyone's first target), where does that leave you? I'd rather go with Garven and Dutch with Wedge just so there's some synergy.

You would try to take out Wedge first, even if Horton has cigars in his tubes left?

Don't you underestimate the power of Horton's Proton Torps?

Yes, and No. Wedge is great from the flank, which makes him a target with this list. Keeping him close to Horton gives him some support from the Ion Turret, but mitigates his overall usefulness. Luke has DtF which means I'm probably not even bothering with him till later, so he could fly solo, but then his upgrade is worthless so you keep him close as well, and then your Ywing ends up surrounded and could have a hard time getting range for torps.

This a list that would not intimidate me in a tournament.

Wedge-r2-expert handling-32

Luke-r2d2-draw there fire-shield upgrade-37

Biggs-r2f2-stealth device-31

or give luke marksmanship and drop the shield and give biggs either the stealth or shield upgrade.

Dear Mr. StarKiller,

You need

Wedge, R2, PtL (33)

Jan Ors, Determination, Nien Numb, Blaster Turret, Moldy Crow (34)

Ibtisam, Adv Sensors, Veteran Instincts (32)

This hits hard and fast.

I personally prefer

Wedge, Luke, Ibtisam

Worst targeting choices ever.

Sure go for Wedge and Ibti first since they are the largest threats.

And then hope you have enough left to kill Luke at the end...

Wedge with a focus and target lock with 5 dice at range 1 and -1 AGI from his ability = dead ship.
