Store Championship. Lando list

By Englishpete, in X-Wing

With another Store Championship coming up I thought I would fly rebels for a change as I have been heavily into the Empire lately.

I came up with this.

53 points
Lando Calrissian
Swarm Tactics, Gunner, Nien Nunb, Millennium Falcon
25 points
Biggs Darklighter
22 points
Blue Squadron Pilot

Lando allows my B-Wing to TL and Focus and to shoot at PS 7, Biggs hangs back to try and get caught at range 3.

I am not sure Nien helps me here and may drop him in favor of an initiative bid.

If you drop Nien and the Falcon, you can upgrade Gunner to Luke. But yes, definitely lose Nien.

Just be aware of a PS issue you'll have while moving: you want Lando to be in front of Biggs without having Biggs bumping into Lando, and keeping Biggs within 1 range. However, Biggs moves before Lando. Make sure you offset them somewhat so you don't bump and keep firing arcs pointed the right way.

Hey Paul,

agreed on Nien, I think I'll take the initiative bid instead. You are right on the Biggs issue so that will need to be a consideration whilst moving :D

Keeping Lando behind Biggs (or anyone for that matter) is also a viable strategy. His pilot ability will still trigger even if he bumps, meaning you can keep him safely in the back if you prefer. I do this with Dutch quite frequently, allowing Lando to get a TL regardless.
