I've never had a chance to use it, but I finally got my third Bwing and I had that though of running 3x Dagger Squadrons with Fire Control and HLCs.

Am I having a case of the dumbs? Does this work at all. Seems it *COULD* work. Maybe.

It was never a top tier list, but it puts out the hurt. You could upgrade one to AdvS and see if you like the FCS or the AdvS better.

I've seen a few 4 B-wing lists. Personally I think these all B-wing lists lack diversity. Now, 2 B-wings and 2 Y-wings... Look out! 4 tanks, 2 turrets, all with 3 attack die!

I've never seen the advantage of 3HLC's over a fourth B-wing. On the other hand that list won my local scene in like three stores so I can see why it's good.

if you want to use three b's try three blues with AS and a goldie with IT

Hits substantially harder at range 3.

So if your meta mostly consists of slow-ish ships like B-wings....

The theory was Range 3. You get to roll 4 dice at range 3 but they don't get the extra defense dice because it's a secondary weapon.

3 B's won my local store championship too.

Every game I see B-wings in they get super up close and Barrel roll around firing arcslike madmen. Even against "Slow" lists. It's where B-wings seem to be best.

I've seen on the table 2x Dagger Squadrons with Fire Control and HLCs + Biggs with R2D2, Stealth Device and Shield upgrade (2 points left for init). It was quite effective.

Too bad that's illegal. SU + SD can't be used together unless you have the RG title, exclusive to the interceptor.

Here are my initial thoughts on a triple B:

Blue Squadron Pilot

Enhanced Scopes

Ion Cannon

Flechette Torpedo

Flechette Torpedo

Hull Upgrade

=

33 points X 3 and I've got a 99 points triple B Squadron

Edit: I may sacrifice 1 Ion Cannon for a Heavy Laser Cannon. Just to mix things up and get the squadron to 100 points.

I think three B-wings can be good, but I wouldn't give them all HLC. 3 B-wings all with advanced sensors is better IMO.

3 HLC is 21 points that is a whole ship.

I have never been glad when I brought more than 1 HLC to a fight. And though a HLC can be awesome in the right circumstances, I don't think they are worth their points just to throw on a ship.
