Edited by hanasolohmm, i like this variant...
3x Blue Squadron Pilot (2 with adv sensors)
1x Dutch with ion cannon
its not my squad - its one i saw that did well as at a store champs.
its obvious strengths are:
1) lots of firepower (3 attack dice ships with focus hit hard, add in a free target lock to ur best attacker each turn and you can see where this is going right?)
2) lots of durability (shields and hull are maxed out)
3) 360 ion cannon for control of key ships at range 2-3
its not going to defend well with such poor agility on those ships but the offense it offers more than makes up for it.
adv sensors on B-Wings is crazy good, just ask the current world champ who used them in his winning XXBB Squad
The y-wing is a mediocre craft, but Dutch's ability is really good. He has seen a lot of use in winning store champion lists. I would stay away from A wings until they have -2 cost, or unless you are trying to fit 5 ships in a rebel build.
Edited by MajorJugglerI've put A-wing there because I had 19 points left to spend. I thought it was good idea to have Dutch along with Heavy laser cannon on b's.

heavy laser cannons arent that great, not for the cost, and not for what else it gets you on a bwing. You could consider the following
Dutch Vander, ion cannon 28
2x blue squadron with advanced sensors 50
rookie with r2 22
if you want Dutch with B's try these:
balanced

garven and dutch pass out goodies (possbile 4 TL in one round with dutch)
http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/52234
Dutch and the dagger fire first to strip the target of tokens

not a tournament winner but fun to play...could also swith out the ptl to IB. drop the sensor jammer and elusive and give autocannon to ten

Edited by cubby09Target Lockers:
Dutch + Ion
2 x B with FCS
Rookie with R5-K6
The concept is solid. Lots of Dutch + Bs in store championship win column. Not sure about the HLC.
Dutch and 3 B's is a very solid list. It dishes out huge firepower and Dutch's Ion can ruin your day........

I played this exact list at a SC yesterday. It's a solid squad. I wrapped up 3rd in a field of 12 going 3-1 and losing a close match to an 8 tie swarm that finished 2nd. The only disappointment I had with it was that R5K6 proc'ed very little. There's really not much else to swap the 2 pts for though. Maybe a basic R2 on Garvin and keep the list at 99 pt for init?
Taking B-wings without Advanced Sensors just doesnt seem right

Ive found with r5k6 its either feast or famine. I also used this list at SC and also placed 3rd out of 28. that day I felt like i couldnt miss with the r5k6, passing out TLs like they were M&Ms

Builder is down - any chance you could post what these actually are?

I was going to like your post until I read the tie swarm finished 2nd. I'll like it anyway if you post attendance and winning list on the results thread... I won't like it, but I'll do it if a Rebel {scum} won the whole thing.

I've flown them with FCS instead of Advanced Sensors to great effect. Wouldn't do it with Dutch in the squad, though.

Not sure the other 2, but the Dutch/Garven goodie passing list is Dutch+Ion+R5K6, Garven, 2xBlue.
I think Dutch+Ion, 3xDaggers could be good too, or if you like the R5K6 gamble, drop one dagger to a blue.
I think the results are already on the main SC thread, posted for Event Horizon Games in NC, 12 players. 1st:Luke,Kyle,Garvin 2nd:4xobsidian,4xacademy 3rd:Dutch,Garvin,2xBlue 4th:Chewie,2xblue
