quick poll on 2 Rebel Squads

By polmoneys, in X-Wing

Gaming amigo came home with Imp Aces and gave me an Opportunist card. Since then I've flown against 3 Ints, usual Stealth+PTL and now Hull modification with:

##### A #####

Ibitsam + Opportunist + Sensor Jammer + Heavy Laser Cannon

Garven + R2 astro

Wedge + Veteran Instincts

Alpha strike is awesome as Wedge and Garven remove tokens, Ibi roll 5 reds with Garven's focus + TL + reroll (she is stressed).

I feel opportunist has potential (wins 4-1) and Ibi is the perfect pilot but Ibi is too loaded point wise and Garven, while cool, ain't a game changer.

What if we tweak things a bit and go with:

##### B #####

Ibitsam + Opportunist + Sensor Jammer

ORS + Anti Pursuit Lasers

Wedge + Veteran Instincts + Engine Upgrade

action denial > high PS shots to ensure Opportunist triggers. Against interceptors is proven to be the best strategy besides taking Han+Marsmanship+Gunner.

ORS would work better with Int Agent and Navigator but I have no points left. Big base, 360° and (maybe) free damage if blocking is succesful should be enough.

Wedge with Engine and superhigh PS should be able to avoid being shoot at and always shot first.

List B will be trading red die for tankiness, It may not remove a Dagger from the board before he is able to shoot back but It won't be falling into pieces as quickly as other 3 ship lists.

So, quick poll, cast your vote ( elaborate if you like ):

A# 0 votes

B# 0 votes

(I'll update the above with your feedback)
