Trying to choose a squad torn between two

By ChuckThorson, in X-Wing

Either Krassis + cluster missiles+HLC+Int agent+engine upgrade with 2 saber squad both with PtL

or 2 sabers with PtL and 2 scimitar bombers I with concussion missiles assault missiles and a seismic charge and the other cluster and assault missiles

the 2nd put more hull on the table but the first seems to deal more reliable damage. but has a lot of points in one ship

thoughts?

thanks!

I'd lean more to the second list on the virtue of the extra hull and the extra red dice you are throwing at the enemy. I like Krassis enough, but I fear that he is a huge bundle of points for your enemy to shoot at. In a game with limited turns, it would be easier for your opponent to get a modified win against the first list.

Just my two pence, I like both lists alot!

If you're taking the second you need to lose a missile and upgrade both bombers to gammas. Might be points for missiles and seismics on both.

If you run the first list, you're going to want your actions with Krassis, and you won't particularly need to boost. I'd drop the Engine Upgrade and Intel Agent for Rebel Captive or Recon Specialist, with Seismic Charges for the leftover points and occasional swarm.

I like the krassis list. But you severely over spent on his upgrades IMO. I'd ignore the captors and attack krass with everything I had.

That's kinda what I was hoping might happen at least at first, the interceptors are very much glass cannons but if I set them up on one side and krassis on the other I figure most folks will run for krassis giving the squints access to the flank or back

hmm though to lower the points on krassis I could drop him to just the HLC(43 pts) and make the squints royal guards with ptl and stealth(28 pts each)

Could work if Aces are legal when you use this list. Also, could downgrade the Royal Guards to Sabers, and use those two points, combined with the one spare you have already to give Krassis Recon Specialist to give him a second focus and therefore more survivability.

might be wrong but i think he meant the title that lets you get 2 mods

PtL is a EPT, not a mod, so you can put both it and stealth on a Saber

oh... right. wasn't reading carefully and assumed it was the title....

so I went with 2 gamma and 2 sabers.. thanks to Rakky Wistol and being able to move them all at the same PS was a great help went 2-1 with the loss due to some bad maneuvering on my part.
